Acts Chapter 2|#11 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.#22 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.#23 And there appeared to them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.#24 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.|*25 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.#26 Now when this was heard abroad, the crowd came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.#27 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying each other, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?#28 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?#29 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,#210 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,#211 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.#212 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying each other, What means this?#213 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.|*214 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, you men of Judea, and all you that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and listen to my words:#215 For these are not drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.#216 But this is which was spoken by the prophet Joel;#217 And it shall come to pass in the last days, said God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:#218 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:#219 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:#220 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:#221 And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.|*222 You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know:#223 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:#224 Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: Because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.|*225 For David speaks concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:#226 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:#227 Because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.#228 You have made known to me the ways of life; you shall make me full of joy with your countenance.|*229 Men and brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us to this day.#230 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;#231 He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.#232 This Jesus has God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.#233 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.#234 For David is not ascended into the heavens: But he said himself, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit you on my right hand,#235 Until I make your foes your footstool.#236 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made that same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.|*237 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?#238 Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.#239 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.|*240 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.#241 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: And the same day there were added to them about three thousand souls.|*242 And they continued earnestly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.#243 And fear came upon every soul: And many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.#244 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;#245 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.#246 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their food with gladness and singleness of heart,#247 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
