Acts 2:1 - 21

On the day of Pentecost, a noise filled Jerusalem. Concurrent with this noise the promised Holy Spirit was given to the followers of Jesus Christ. The city, not knowing what the noise was, gathered together - and found the followers of Jesus declaring in a variety of languages the truth that Jesus was indeed the promised Messiah. This was not the drunken rambling of a diappointed disciple (Jesus' crucifixion had occurred 50 days ago), Peter connects the events to the fulfilled prophesy of Joel and stated that it signalled the arrival of God's message of salvation for all.
