Acts 2
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they
were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of
arushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house
where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like
as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and
began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave
them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout
men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude
came together, and were confounded, because that
every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one
to another, Behold, are not all these which speak
Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we 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 one to another, What meaneth this?
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, Ye men of Judaea, and
all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto
you, and hearken to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as ye 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, saith
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:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will
pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall
prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs
in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour 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 whosoever shall
call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Ye 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 ye yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel
and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by
wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains
of death: because it was not possible that he should
be holden of it.
25 For David speaketh 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 thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou
shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of
the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried,
and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 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;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of
Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither
his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are
witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and having received of the Father the promise of the
Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see
and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he
saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou
on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know
assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom
ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in
their heart, 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 ye shall receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children,
and to all that are afar off, even as many as the
Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and
exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward
generation.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were
baptized: and the same day there were added unto them
about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles'
doctrine and fellowship, and in 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 that believed were together, and had all
things 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 favour with all the
people. And the Lord added to the church daily such
as should be saved.
