002:001

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting

002:002

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them

002:003

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance

002:004

And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven

002:005

Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language

002:006

And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans

002:007

And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born

002:008

Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia

002:009

Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes

002:010

Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God

002:011

And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this

002:012

Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine

002:013

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

002:014

For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day

002:015

But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel

002:016

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

002:017

And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy

002:018

And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke

002:019

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come

002:020

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved

002:021

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

002:022

Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain

002:023

Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it

002:024

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

002:025

Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope

002:026

Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption

002:027

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance

002:028

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

002:029

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

002:030

He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption

002:031

This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses

002:032

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

002:033

For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand

002:034

Until I make thy foes thy footstool

002:035

Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ

002:036

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

002:037

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

002:038

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

002:039

And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation

002:040

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls

002:041

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers

002:042

And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles

002:043

And all that believed were together, and had all things common

002:044

And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need

002:045

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

002:046

Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved
