Acts 2

^{the king version}

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.
