Stories about the Holy Spirit

Which stories from scripture are stories about the Holy Spirit? Here! I 've included stories about Jesus telling His disciples about the Holy Spirit, too. Editing this may be an ongoing project. I will keep editing. Turns out the word study in the NIRV is even longer... I was looking at "Spirit of God" & "Holy Spirit" ...but this really isn't a word study. We're looking for stories that tell us something about the Holy Spirit.

I did my initial word search at Bible Gateway with the New International Version but you can read the stories from the NIRV with kids. Some will be better for younger ones, and some better for older ones. I'm just giving you a verse or chapter, not neccessarily the story around the verse. I'm not putting all the cross references here either. Turns out it's a little overwealming. :)
