Day of Pentecost
Acts 2:1-21
2:1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
2:2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent
wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
2:3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on
each of them.
2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other
languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
2:5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in
Jerusalem.
2:6 And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each
one heard them speaking in the native language of each.
2:7 Amazed and astonished, they asked, "Are not all these who are
speaking Galileans?
2:8 And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?
2:9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and
Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
2:10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to
Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
2:11 Cretans and Arabs--in our own languages we hear them speaking about
God's deeds of power."
2:12 All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does
this mean?"
2:13 But others sneered and said, "They are filled with new wine."
2:14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed
them, "Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to
you, and listen to what I say.
2:15 Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine
o'clock in the morning.
2:16 No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
2:17 'In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my
Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
2:18 Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out
my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
2:19 And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth
below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist.
2:20 The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the
coming of the Lord's great and glorious day.
2:21 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
11:24 So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD; and he
gathered seventy elders of the people, and placed them all around the tent.
11:25 Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some
of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders; and when the
spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do so again.
11:26 Two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named
Medad, and the spirit rested on them; they were among those registered, but
they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp.
11:27 And a young man ran and told Moses, "Eldad and Medad are
prophesying in the camp."
11:28 And Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses, one of his chosen men,
said, "My lord Moses, stop them!"
11:29 But Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that
all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit on
them!"
11:30 And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.
104:24 O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them
all; the earth is full of your creatures.
104:25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide, creeping things innumerable are
there, living things both small and great.
104:26 There go the ships, and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.
104:27 These all look to you to give them their food in due season;
104:28 when you give to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand,
they are filled with good things.
104:29 When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their
breath, they die and return to their dust.
104:30 When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the
face of the ground.
104:31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his
works--
104:32 who looks onthe earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and
they smoke.
104:33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my
God while I have being.
104:34 May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD.
104:35b Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD!
1 Corinthians 12:3b-13
12:3b No one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.
12:4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;
12:5 and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord;
12:6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who
activates all of them in everyone.
12:7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
12:8 To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to
another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the
one Spirit,
12:10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another
the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the
interpretation of tongues.
12:11 All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each
one individually just as the Spirit chooses.
12:12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members
of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
12:13 For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Jews or
Greeks, slaves or free--and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
2:1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
2:2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent
wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
2:3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on
each of them.
2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other
languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
2:5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in
Jerusalem.
2:6 And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each
one heard them speaking in the native language of each.
2:7 Amazed and astonished, they asked, "Are not all these who are

2:8 And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?
2:9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and
Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
2:10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to
Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
2:11 Cretans and Arabs--in our own languages we hear them speaking about
God's deeds of power."
2:12 All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does
this mean?"
2:13 But others sneered and said, "They are filled with new wine."
2:14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed

2:15 Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine

2:16 No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
2:17 'In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my

2:18 Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out

2:19 And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth

2:20 The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the
coming of the Lord's great and glorious day.
2:21 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
20:19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the
doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the
Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."
20:20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the
disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
20:21 Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has
sent me, so I send you."
20:22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
"Receive the Holy Spirit.
20:23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain
the sins of any, they are retained."
7:37 On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was
standing there, he cried out, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me,
7:38 and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said,
'Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water.'"
7:39 Now he said this about the Spirit, which
believers in him were to receive; for as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus
was not yet glorified.
