"All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues." (Acts 2:4)
On the day of Pentecost a sound like a rushing wind fills the house and tongues of fire rest on the disciples. Filled with the Spirit they speak in other languages, and Jews from every nation hear the wonders of God in their own tongue.
