Suddenly, there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty rushing wind on all the apostles. The wind mixed with the sound, and tongues of living fire from the Father, came down on their heads; and all of a sudden, they felt stronger, in body, soul, and wisdom. Their minds got enlightened more, and many things became clearer to them. They then knew for sure that the Holy Spirit has dwelt in them, and started to be their Instructor and Guide. The weak and simple became strong and wise. The fishermen became teachers and scholars. The rushing wind that came all of a sudden turned into an instructor of all tongues. The fire sent from the Father, enlightened their souls, and made them speak all tongues; and they continued to do by the help of the Holy Spirit. It is so amazing to hear that a diversity of tongues, which were scattered on them in ancient Babylon, so did in the elect new Babylon. The Holy Spirit became their teacher, who taught them a new chapter without reading. Suddenly, the sound of the wind was heard, and tongues of the living fire were given. The simple apostles were enriched by the wisdom and the gift of speaking tongue. And the illiterate fishermen were enriched by a diversity of tongues. In the upper room, different languages were heard; uttered by the disciples. Fire from high above came upon the sons of light; they were not consumed but enlightened. Saint Jacob of Serugh
