the day of pentecost

¹And when the days of Pentecost were completed, they were all together in the same place. ²And suddenly, there came a sound from heaven, like that of a wind approaching violently, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. ³And there appeared to them separate tongues, as if of fire, which settled upon each one of them. ⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they began to speak in various languages, just as the Holy Spirit bestowed eloquence to them. ⁵Now there were Jews staying in Jerusalem, pious men from every nation that is under heaven. ⁶And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together and was confused in mind, because each one was listening to them speaking in his own language.

³⁸Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

²⁶But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will suggest to you everything whatsoever that I have said to you.

¹And when the days of Pentecost were completed, they were all together in the same place.

⁸But you shall receive the power of the Holy Spirit, passing over you, and you shall be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.”

²⁸And after this, it will happen that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy; your elders will dream dreams, and your youths will see visions. ²⁹Moreover, in those days I will pour out my spirit upon my servants and handmaids. ³⁰And I will grant wonders in the sky and on earth: blood and fire and the vapor of smoke. ³¹The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord shall arrive. ³²And it will happen that everyone who will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. For on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and in the remnant whom the Lord will call, there will be salvation, just as the Lord has said.

²²You shall observe the Solemnity of Weeks with the first-fruits of the grain from the harvest of your wheat, and a Solemnity when the time of the year returns and everything is stored away.

¹Now it happened that, while Apollo was at Corinth, Paul, after he had journeyed through the upper regions, arrived at Ephesus. And he met with certain disciples. ²And he said to them, “After believing, have you received the Holy Spirit?” But they said to him, “We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” ³Yet truly, he said, “Then with what have you been baptized?” And they said, “With the baptism of John.” ⁴Then Paul said: “John baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying that they should believe in the One who is to come after him, that is, in Jesus.” ⁵Upon hearing these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came over them. And they were speaking in tongues and prophesying.

¹⁶But this is what was spoken of by the prophet Joel:

¹⁶Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved. Yet truly, whoever will not have believed will be condemned.

³³Therefore, being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the Promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured this out, just as you now see and hear.

¹⁵And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.

¹⁶And I will ask the Father, and he will give another Advocate to you, so that he may abide with you for eternity:

³¹And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered was moved. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they were speaking the Word of God with confidence.

¹And when the days of Pentecost were completed, they were all together in the same place. ²And suddenly, there came a sound from heaven, like that of a wind approaching violently, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

¹Certainly, O Theophilus, I composed the first discourse about everything that Jesus began to do and to teach, ²instructing the Apostles, whom he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, even until the day on which he was taken up. ³He also presented himself alive to them, after his Passion, appearing to them throughout forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God with many elucidations. ⁴And dining with them, he instructed them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but that they should wait for the Promise of the Father, “about which you have heard,” he said, “from my own mouth. ⁵For John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit, not many days from now.” ⁶Therefore, those who had assembled together questioned him, saying, “Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom of Israel?”

³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will return again, and then I will take you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be.

¹⁵until the Spirit is poured over us from on high. And the desert will be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be considered as a forest.

¹“Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also. ²In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, I would have told you. For I go to prepare a place for you. ³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will return again, and then I will take you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be. ⁴And you know where I am going. And you know the way.” ⁵Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” ⁶Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they began to speak in various languages, just as the Holy Spirit bestowed eloquence to them.

¹³For all those who have called upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

²In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, I would have told you. For I go to prepare a place for you.

³And there appeared to them separate tongues, as if of fire, which settled upon each one of them. ⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they began to speak in various languages, just as the Holy Spirit bestowed eloquence to them.
