4. What was it the disciples were
filled with on Pentecost? Acts 2:4
And they were all filled
with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak
with other tongues,
as the Spirit gave

The Gift of the Holy Spirit
• The traditional view sees the gift of
tongues as a distinctly linguistic power.
• The divine Spirit giving not only comfort
and insight into truth, but fresh powers of
utterance.
• A supernatural knowledge of all such
languages as they needed for their work
as evangelists.

• And there were
dwelling in
Jerusalem Jews,
devout men, from
every nation
under heaven.
• Devout Jews who
had come up to
the great feast of
Pentecost.
Devout Men
• Men of religion and piety, of faith and
holiness; and as the Syriac version
renders it, "who feared God"; for in these
worst of times, there were some who had
the fear of God before their eyes, and in
their hearts.

people confused? Acts 2:6

multitude came
together, and were
confused, because
everyone heard
them speak in his
own language.
7. What did the people say about the disciples
speaking a different language? Acts 2:7-8
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?
Most of the disciples to this time were
Galileans. The Galileans were not
generally educated, yet now everyone
hear in their own language.
8. What were the disciples saying as they
spoke in a difference language? Acts 2:9-11

another? Acts 2:12
So they were all
amazed and
perplexed,
saying to one
another,
"Whatever could
this mean?"

the work of the Holy Spirit? Acts 2:13
Others mocking
said, "They are
full of new wine.“
