2 Lesson Acts 2:1-21 Psalm 104:25-35, 37 A Reading from the Book of Acts. When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. 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. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in O Lord, how manifold are your / works! * other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now in wisdom you have made them all; there were devout Jews from every nation under heav- the earth is full of your / creatures. en living in Jerusalem.
