God’s spirit arrives and many get saved

Acts 2:1–13

2[ref]When the Day of Pentecost actually arrived, the believers met together in the same room. 2Suddenly there was a noise in the sky that sounded like a strong wind, then it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3They saw what looked like tongues of fire that kept dividing[fn] and then settling down on each one of them. 4In this way they were all filled with the holy spirit and began speaking in other languages as the spirit enabled them.

5At the time, there were godly Jews staying in Yerushalem that had come from other countries all around the world. 6When they heard this noise, lots of people came to investigate but they were confused because they heard the believers talking in their own languages from around the world. 7They were astounded and marvelled, asking, “Wow, aren’t these people talking all Galileans? 8So how come we’re hearing them speak the languages of the countries where we were born? 9There’s people here from Parthia, Media, Elam, Mesopotamia, Yudea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia Minor, 10Frygia, Pamfylia, Egypt (Mitsrayim), Libya (near Cyrene), and visitors from Rome, 11Crete, and Arabia. Some are Jews and some are non-Jews who’ve converted to Judaism. And we can hear them talking about God in our languages.” 12Everyone was amazed and totally puzzled, asking each other, “What’s going on here?” 13But others scoffed and said, “Ha, they’ve just had too much to drink.”

Lev 23:15-21:

15Then count seven rest days from the day after you brought the bundle of grain as a wave offering—seven full weeks.[ref] 16Then that next day will make fifty days, and then you all must present a new grain offering to Yahweh. 17From your homes, each family must bring two loaves of bread baked with a rising agent, as a firstfruits offering to Yahweh. 18Along with the bread, you all must present seven year-old male lambs without defects, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their associated grain and drink offerings—a gift with a pleasing aroma for Yahweh. 19You all must also offer a male goat as a sin offering and two one-year-old male lambs as a peace offering. 20The priest must raise them along with the firstfruits bread as a wave offering in front of Yahweh, with the two lambs. They will become sacred to Yahweh, but for the priest to eat. 21You all must proclaim a sacred assembly that same day—you mustn’t do any regular work. That is a permanent rule that will continue throughout the generations no matter where you live.


23:15-21: Exo 23:16; 34:22; Deu 16:9-12.

Deu 16:9-11:

9You must count off seven weeks starting from when the very first harvesting of grain begins.[ref] 10Then celebrate the ‘Festival of Weeks’[fn] to honour your god Yahweh by contributing a freewill offering acknowledging however much he has blessed you. 11You should celebrate in Yahweh’s presence, along with your children and your servants, and any Levites living in your town, and the foreigners, orphans, and widows living among you. Take your offerings to the place that your god Yahweh will choose to attach his name to.


16:10 Also known as the ‘Harvest Festival’ or ‘Pentecost’ (relating to the fifty days = seven weeks plus one day).


16:9-12: Lev 23:15-21; Num 28:26-31.
