Acts, Chapter 2

The Day of Pentecost

2 When the day of Pentecost [a]had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire [b]distributing themselves, and [c]they [d]rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other [e]tongues, as the Spirit was giving them [f]utterance.

  • When the day of Pentecost had come

o They were all together in one place

§ Remember, in the upper room praying

  • And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind

o It sounded like a windstorm (a violent rushing wind)

  • And it filled the whole house where they were sitting

o Notice if filled the whole house (not a portion) – filled to capacity

  • And there appeared to them tongues as fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them

o What does a tongue of fire look like?

o Notice it distributed itself resting on each one (every one had it resting on them)

  • So they heard it; they saw it; and they believed it

  • And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues

o They were all filled (not a little bit)

§ With the Holy Spirit

o And began to speak with other tongues

§ This is the result of being filled

  • As the Spirit was giving them utterance

o Notice the Spirit is the one who gives the utterance not their minds

5 Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own [g]language.

  • Devout men from every nation under heaven (people came from all over)

  • And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together

o The crowd is more than the just the 120 people that gathered in the upper room

o And were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language (this was a miracle)
