1
When
the day
of Pentecost
had come,
they were all
together
in one
place.
2
And suddenly
there came
from heaven
a noise
like
a violent
rushing
wind,
and it filled
the whole
house
where
they were sitting.
3
And there appeared
to them tongues
as of fire
distributing
themselves, and they rested
on each
one
of them.
4
And they were all
filled
with the Holy
Spirit
and began
to speak
with other
tongues,
as the
Spirit
was giving
them utterance.
5
Now
there were Jews
living
in Jerusalem,
devout
men
from every
nation
under
heaven.
6
And when this
sound
occurred,
the crowd
came together,
and were bewildered
because
each
one
of them was hearing
them speak
in his own
language.
7
They were amazed
and astonished,
saying,
"Why,
are not all
these
who are speaking
Galileans?
8
"And how
is it that we each
hear
them in our own
language
to which
we were born?
9
"Parthians
and Medes
and Elamites,
and residents
of Mesopotamia,
Judea
and Cappadocia,
Pontus
and Asia,
10
Phrygia
and Pamphylia,
Egypt
and the districts
of Libya
around
Cyrene,
and visitors
from Rome,
both
Jews
and proselytes,
11
Cretans
and Arabs--
we hear
them in our own tongues
speaking
of the mighty deeds
of God."
12
And they all
continued in amazement
and great perplexity,
saying
to one
another,
"What
does this
mean?"
13
But others
were mocking
and saying,
"They are full
of sweet wine."
14
But Peter,
taking his stand
with the eleven,
raised
his voice
and declared
to them: "Men
of Judea
and all
you who live
in Jerusalem,
let this
be known
to you and give heed
to my words.
15
"For these men
are not drunk,
as you suppose,
for it is only the third
hour
of the day;
16
but this
is what was spoken
of through
the prophet
Joel:
17
'
AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST
DAYS,'
God
says,
'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH
OF MY SPIRIT
ON ALL
MANKIND;
AND YOUR SONS
AND YOUR DAUGHTERS
SHALL PROPHESY,
AND YOUR YOUNG MEN
SHALL SEE
VISIONS,
AND YOUR OLD MEN
SHALL DREAM
DREAMS;
18
EVEN
ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN,
I WILL IN THOSE
DAYS
POUR FORTH
OF MY SPIRIT
And they shall prophesy.
19
'
AND I WILL GRANT
WONDERS
IN THE SKY
ABOVE
AND SIGNS
ON THE EARTH
BELOW,
BLOOD,
AND FIRE,
AND VAPOR
OF SMOKE.
20
'
THE SUN
WILL BE TURNED
INTO DARKNESS
AND THE MOON
INTO BLOOD,
BEFORE
THE GREAT
AND GLORIOUS
DAY
OF THE LORD
SHALL COME.
21
'
AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE
WHO
CALLS
ON THE NAME
OF THE LORD
WILL BE SAVED.'
22
"Men
of Israel,
listen
to these
words:
Jesus
the Nazarene,
a man
attested
to you by
God
with miracles
and wonders
and signs
which
God
performed
through
Him in your midst,
just
as you yourselves
know--
23
this
Man, delivered
over by the predetermined
plan
and foreknowledge
of God,
you nailed to a cross
by the hands
of godless men
and put Him to death.
24
"But God
raised Him up again,
putting an end
to the agony
of death,
since
it was impossible
for Him to be held
in its power.
25
"For David
says
of Him, 'I SAW
THE LORD
ALWAYS
IN MY PRESENCE;
FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND,
SO
THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN.
26
'
THEREFORE
MY HEART
WAS GLAD
AND MY TONGUE
EXULTED;
MOREOVER
MY FLESH
ALSO
WILL LIVE
IN HOPE;
27
BECAUSE
YOU WILL NOT ABANDON
MY SOUL
TO HADES,
NOR
ALLOW
YOUR HOLY ONE
TO UNDERGO
DECAY.
28
'
YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN
TO ME THE WAYS
OF LIFE;
YOU WILL MAKE ME FULL
OF GLADNESS
WITH YOUR PRESENCE.'
29
"Brethren,
I may
confidently
say
to you regarding
the patriarch
David
that he both
died
and was buried,
and his tomb
is with us to this
day.
30
"And so,
because he was a prophet
and knew
that GOD
HAD SWORN
TO HIM WITH AN OATH
TO SEAT
one OF HIS DESCENDANTS
ON HIS THRONE,
31
he looked ahead
and spoke
of the resurrection
of the Christ,
that HE WAS NEITHER
ABANDONED
TO HADES,
NOR
DID His flesh
SUFFER
DECAY.
32
"This
Jesus
God
raised up again,
to which
we are all
witnesses.
33
"Therefore
having been exalted
to the right hand
of God,
and having received
from the Father
the promise
of the Holy
Spirit,
He has poured forth
this
which
you both
see
and hear.
34
"For it was not David
who ascended
into heaven,
but he himself
says:
'
THE LORD
SAID
TO MY LORD,
"SIT
AT MY RIGHT HAND,
35
UNTIL
I MAKE
YOUR ENEMIES
A FOOTSTOOL
FOR YOUR FEET."'
36
"Therefore
let all
the house
of Israel
know
for certain
that God
has made
Him both
Lord
and Christ--
this
Jesus
whom
you crucified."
37
Now
when they heard
this, they were pierced
to the heart,
and said
to Peter
and the rest
of the apostles,
"Brethren,
what
shall we do?"
38
Peter
said to them, "Repent,
and each
of you be baptized
in the name
of Jesus
Christ
for the forgiveness
of your sins;
and you will receive
the gift
of the Holy
Spirit.
39
"For the promise
is for you and your children
and for all
who
are far off,
as many
as the Lord
our God
will call
to Himself."
40
And with many
other
words
he solemnly testified
and kept on exhorting
them, saying,
"Be saved
from this
perverse
generation!"
41
So then,
those
who had received
his word
were baptized;
and that day
there were added
about
three thousand
souls.
42
They were continually devoting themselves
to the apostles'
teaching
and to fellowship,
to the breaking
of bread
and to prayer.
43
Everyone
kept feeling
a sense of awe;
and many
wonders
and signs
were taking place
through
the apostles.
44
And all
those
who had believed
were together
and had
all things
in common;
45
and they began selling
their property
and possessions
and were sharing
them with all,
as anyone
might have
need.
46
Day by day
continuing
with one mind
in the temple,
and breaking
bread
from house to house,
they were taking
their meals
together
with gladness
and sincerity
of heart,
47
praising
God
and having
favor
with all
the people.
And the Lord
was adding
to their number
day by day
those
who were being saved.
