And when the day of Pentecost had[1] fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly, there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like fire[2], and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in[3] other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were Jews dwelling at Jerusalem, devout men out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every[4] man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, “Behold, are not all these who[5] speak Galilaeans? 8 And how we hear every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.” 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying to one another, “What does this mean[6]?”
13 Others mocking said, “These men are full of new wine.”
14 But Peter, standing up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, “You[7] men of Judaea, and all you[8] who[9] dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear[10] to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as you[11] suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day; 16 But this is that which was spoken by the Prophet Joel;
17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, God says[12],
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.
18 And on My servants, and on My handmaidens,
I will pour out from[13] My Spirit in those days,
and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show[14] wonders in Heaven above,
and signs in the Earth beneath
- blood and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 The Sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the Moon into blood,
before that great and notable day of the Lord come.
21 And it shall come to pass,
that whoever[15] shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ [Joel 2:28-32]
22 You[16] men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man approved from[17] God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did through[18] Him in the midst of you, as you[19] yourselves also know - 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you[20] have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain, 24 whom God has[21] raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held[22] by[23] it.
25 For David speaks[24] concerning Him:
‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
for He is on my right hand,
that I should not be moved.
26 Therefore, did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad;
moreover, also my flesh shall rest in hope,
27 because You[25] will[26] not leave my soul in hell,
neither will[27] You[28] give[29] Your[30] Holy One to see corruption.
28 You[31] have[32] made known to me the ways of life;
You[33] shall make me full of joy with Your[34] countenance.’ [Psalm 16:8-11]
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the Patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher[35] is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that from[36] the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, He would raise up Christ to sit on his throne, [Psalm 132:11] 31 He[37], seeing this before, spoke[38] of the resurrection of Christ, that ‘His soul was not left in hell, neither did His flesh see corruption.’ 32 This Jesus has[39] God raised up, of which[40] we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore, being exalted at[41] the right hand of God, and having received from[42] the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has[43] poured this out[44], which you[45] now see and hear. 34 For David has[46] not ascended into the Heavens, but he himself says[47],
“The LORD said unto my Lord,‘You[48] sit on my right hand,
35 until I make Your[49] foes Your footstool.’” [Psalm 110:1]
36 “Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has[50] made the same Jesus, whom you[51] have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
38 Then Peter said unto them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you[52] shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all who[53] are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
40 And with many other words he did testify and exhort, saying, “Save yourselves from this untoward generation.” 41 Then those[54] who[55] gladly received his word were baptized, and that[56] same day there were about three thousand (3,000) souls added unto them.
42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in the[57] breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all who[58] believed were together, and had all things in[59] common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
