# Pentecost in Jerusalem

Part One
Acts 2:1–11

The disciples constantly prayed together after Jesus went away in the cloud.

Fifty days after Jesus was crucified, there was a big holiday. It was called Pentecost. At that time, many thousands of people visited Jerusalem. The disciples were all together that day. Suddenly, a sound like violent wind filled the house. Fire appeared and rested on each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit made them able to speak in other languages. Then a curious crowd gathered. They were from many different nations. But they each heard the gospel in their own language.

Questions: What was the name of the holiday in Jerusalem? What ability did the Holy Spirit give to the disciples?
