What happened on the first Pentecost?

The story comes from the Bible (Acts 2). According to the account: Jesus’ followers were gathered together in Jerusalem. 

  • A sound like a powerful wind filled the room.
  • They saw tongues of fire resting on each person.
  • They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in different languages.

This allowed them to share their message with people from many different nations who could understand them.
