[3]And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
[4]And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

MEMORY VERSE: Acts 4:31: And when they prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke the word of God with boldness.
