Acts 2:2

The Holy Spirit

1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3 They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
