"I, Peter, was with the other eleven disciples as well as with a larger group of believers.... We were all together in one room in Jerusalem.... One hundred and twenty in total.... We had been together for ten days... Then something miraculous happened... It was the Day of Pentecost....The day started out as any other of the ten days.... We had come together for prayer... But then suddenly our prayers were interrupted.... A mighty rushing wind came through the whole house.... And I saw what seemed to be tongues of fire on each head.... And I could see from the expression on the faces of the others that something similar had happened to me... And even more amazing, we all began to speak in languages we had never learned.... It is true that some people mocked us."....Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn of a special event at the Day of Pentecost.....

                                                          PART II-I

The promised gift from heaven had arrived in the form of the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus had told them would happen. And He had come upon all these disciples who had gathered together, a total of 120 men and women as you can read in Acts 1:15

In those days Peter stood up among the believers ( a group numbering about a hundred and twenty).

As a result men and women began to speak in other tongues or other languages they had never spoken before. Now that day there were many Jews from other places in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Pentecost. And they heard them being spoken to in their own language about all the wonderful things God had been doing even though they knew the people who were speaking these languages were all from Galilee. How could that be? They did not understand how these people could talk to them in their own language. This truly was an amazing event as you can read in Acts 2:5-8

Now there were staying in Jerusalem, God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. Utterly amazed, they asked, "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language?"

However, there were some people who decided that what was happening was very strange as you can read in Acts 2:13

Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine."

Among the people who were amazed at what was happening, there were those who simple mocked this unique event.
