On April 14, 1865, President Lincoln, hopeful for the future, was tragically shot that night. Tomorrow never came for one of America’s greatest leaders.

On Pentecost, Galileans speaking foreign languages in the temple amazed Jews, challenging tradition. Peter clarified it fulfilled Joel’s prophecy—not drunkenness, but God’s Spirit poured out.

Thomas said to Jesus, “Lord, we do not know where You are going. How can we know the way to get there?” 6 Jesus said, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one can go to the Father except by Me. If you had known Me, you would know My Father also. From now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

For people to stand up in the temple on the Day of Pentecost during the 9AM prayer time and start praying and declaring God’s praise in Aramaic, Greek, or any of the other languages represented there would seem a bit out of place. In fact, it would have been profane to some of the Jews to use any other language than Hebrew for worship in the temple. So, when these devout Jews from several other nations saw these Galileans stand up and start speaking (and they actually understood what was being said), it amazed and perplexed them.
