Luke recorded the following concerning the promised Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-13 NET):
Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all1 together2 in one place. Suddenly a sound like a violent wind blowing came from heaven and filled (ἐπλήρωσεν, a form of πληρόω) the entire house where they were sitting. And tongues spreading out like a fire appeared to them and came to rest on3 each one of them. All4 of them were filled (ἐπλήσθησαν, a form of πλήθω) with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven residing in5 Jerusalem. When this sound occurred, a crowd (πλῆθος) gathered and was in confusion, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. Completely6 baffled, they said,7 “Aren’t8 all9 these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that each one of us hears them in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and the province of Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs – we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great deeds God has done!” All were astounded and greatly confused, saying to one another, “What10 does this mean?”11 But others jeered12 at the speakers, saying, “They are drunk on new wine!”
