Episode 217: Crowds of Jews from all over the world were gathering in Jerusalem for Pentecost. Just then, while Peter and the rest of the disciples were gathered together near the temple, the Holy Spirit came on them like tongues of fire. The Holy Spirit enabled them to preach to the crowds in their native languages the things that God had done through Jesus. As Peter was proclaiming these things to them, three-thousand men and women came to receive forgiveness and be baptized into the family of believers.
