Acts 2:1-13
The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
This isn’t a day special but, anytime, for what we are ready. The date of December 25 for the Christmas is symbolic to remind us that love, peace, sharing are needed in our daily practice in order to create the necessary atmosphere, only condition to build the Jerusalem and raise his temple inside of us.
2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
It is in our body that is heaven or everything happens and this, in our lifetime. The Apostle Paul asks us to learn to die every day, it’s like a repeat of the death before the day of departure, we are not shaken.
3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken.
7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?
9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b]
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome
11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
(Souls not advanced of all nations which are remained blocked in domestic spheres, because they have not passed the exams and are now waiting to return to continue their pilgrimages in the world who did not understand the) “need to follow the good Shepherd of their time during their passage on Earth),
13 but others laughed, and said: they are full of sweet wine.
(Even in these spheres, fanatics continue to judge)
14 then Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them in these words: men Jews, and you all who stay in Jerusalem, know this, and hearken to my words!
