The Holy Spirit Descends on the Apostles
Acts 2:1-4
耶穌升天後，宗徒們從橄欖山回到耶路撒冷。五旬節那天，他們和一些婦女聚集在一所房屋裏，聖母瑪利亞也在那裏。忽然，巨聲從天降下，好似風暴，充滿了整座房屋，有舌狀的火焰分散在各人頭上。每人都充滿了聖神，會說各地方言。
The apostles returned from the Mount of Olives to Jerusalem. On the day of Pentecost, the disciples were gathered together in a room. Mary was with them. Suddenly, a violent thunder and wind came from heaven. It filled the room. Flames shaped like tongues appeared over each one's head. Everyone was filled with the Holy Spirit and could speak foreign languages.

Paul in Ephesus Places Hands on the Disciples
Acts 19:1-7
當阿頗羅在格林多時，保祿行遍省內高原地區後，來到厄弗所。在這裏他遇見幾位門徒，他們都受了若翰的洗禮，但從未聽過有聖神。保祿向他們解釋說：「若翰授的是悔改的洗禮。」他們一共十二人，聽了便因耶穌的名受了洗。保祿給他們覆手，聖神便降臨到他們各人身上，他們就說起各種語言和預言。
While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul arrived to Ephesus, after traveling through the high interior land of the province. In Ephesus, he met some disciples who did not know the Holy Spirit and had received only the baptism of John.
Paul explained to them that the baptism of John was a baptism of repentance. Therefore, they were baptized in the name of Jesus. Paul placed his hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit and began to speak languages and to prophesy. There were about twelve of them.
