Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Acts 1
²⁴ And they prayed and said, "You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen
²⁵ to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place."
²⁶ And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Acts 2
¹ When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
² And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
³ Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
⁵ And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
⁶ And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.
⁷ Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?
⁸ And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?
