📜 Complete Scriptural Narrative

Following Jesus' ascension from the Mount of Olives and His command not to depart from Jerusalem until they were clothed with power from on high (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4), a company of about 120 persons — including the apostles, the women, Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers — devoted themselves with one accord to prayer in the Upper Room (Acts 1:13–15).

When the day of Pentecost (the 50th day) arrived, they were all together in one place when a sound like a mighty rushing wind filled the house and divided tongues as of fire rested on each one of them. Filled with the Holy Spirit, they spoke the mighty works of God in the languages of the nations — launching the New Testament Church (Acts 2:1–11).
