And fuddenly there came a found from heaven, as of a rufhing mighty wind, and it filled all the houfe where they were fitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues, like as of fire, and it fat upon each of them: And they were all filled with the holy Ghoft, and began to fpeak with other tongues,as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerufalem, Tews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noifed abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, becaufe that every man heard them fpeak in his own language. And they were all amazed, and marvelled, faying one to another, Behold, are not all thefe which fpeak, Galileans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mefopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Afa, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Lybia, about Cyrene, and ftrangers of Rome, Jews and Profelytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them fpeak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

And I will pray the Father, and he fhall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him; but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and fhall be in you. I will not leave you comfort lefs; I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world feeth me no more; but ye fee me: because I live, ye fhall live alfo. At that day ye fhall know, that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. He that th my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that that loveth me; and he that loveth me,inall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifeft my felf to him. Judas faith unto him (not Ifcariot) Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifeft thy felf unto us, and not unto the world? Jefus anfwered and faid unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Fa ther will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not,keepeth not my fayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Fathers which fent me. These things have I fpoken unto you, being yet prefent with you. But the Comforter, which is the holy Ghoft, whom the Father will fend in my name, he fhall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have faid unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I faid unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoyce, becaufe I faid, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater then I. And now I have told you before it come to pafs, that when it is come to pafs, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even fo I do.
