Read and answer

Read the story first, then answer.

The day of PentecostPeople from many lands came to Jerusalem for a harvest feast called Pentecost. The friends of Jesus waited together in one room. All at once a sound like a rushing wind filled the house. The Bible says it looked like little flames of light, and this was the Holy Spirit, God's gift. The friends began to speak in other languages. Visitors from Egypt, Rome, Crete and Arabia hurried over, and each heard the friends in their own language. Peter stood up and spoke to the crowd. He told them to turn back to God and be baptised, which means dipped in water as a sign of a fresh start. About three thousand people joined that day. They shared meals and prayed together, and that was the first church.
