Week 25
Bible
Text: Acts 2:1-21
Key
Verse: Acts 2:17-18
Acts 2:1 day of Pentecost: the word Pentecost means fifty. Pentecost is the Jewish festival that comes fifty days after Passover. It is also called the Feast of Weeks, and originally celebrated the wheat harvest. Many Jews would have gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate Pentecost.
Acts 2:4 filled with the Holy Spirit:
this is a fulfillment of Jesus' promise in Luke 24:49. The disciples are led by the Spirit - not only in what they say, but also in the languages they speak.
Acts 2:5-11 devout Jews: the people gathered in Jerusalem for the festival of Pentecost came from all over the known world. The miracle was the many languages that were spoken and heard.
