The Disciple Dem Receive Holy Spirit

Ten days after Jesus go back to heaven, his disciple dem receive holy spirit. It wor on Pentecost 33 C.E., and people na come to Jerusalem from different-different place to celebrate. About 120 of Jesus disciples wor together in the room upstairs. Then right away, something wonderful happen. Something just like fire appear over each of the disciple dem head, and they started speaking in different-different languages. Then they hear loud sound just like heavy breeze in the house.

When the people dem who come to Jerusalem hear the sound, they run to the house to see what wor happening. They wor surprise when they hear the disciple dem speaking different-different languages. They say: ‘But this people dem coming from Galilee. How come they speaking our language dem?’

Then Peter and the other apostle dem stand in front of the crowd. Peter tell the people how they kill Jesus and how Jehovah bring him back to life. Peter say: ‘Jesus in heaven now and he sitting down to God right hand side, and he na send his holy spirit da he promise us. So da the reason why yor seeing and hearing this miracle dem.’

The things Peter say really touch the people heart, so they ask him: “Wetin we mon do?” He tell them say: ‘Yor repent from yor sins and get baptize in the name of Jesus. Yor will also receive gift of the holy spirit.’ On da day, about 3,000 people get baptize. From da time, the disciple dem started getting plenty in Jerusalem quick-quick. The holy spirit help the apostle dem to form more congregations so da they can teach the disciple dem all the things da Jesus na command them to do.
