• Acts 2:1-4
    When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

    Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
    Your young men shall see visions,
    Your old men shall dream dreams.
    And on My menservants and on My maidservants
    I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
    And they shall prophesy.

    Your young men shall see visions.
    And also on My menservants and on My maidservants
    I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
