1. And when the day of Pentecost had 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 to them divided tongues as of fire, and it remained upon each of them.
4. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, 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 reported outside, the multitude came together, and were perplexed, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.
7. And they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, Behold, are not all of these who speak Galileans?
8. And how do we hear each one in our own tongue, in which we were born?
9. Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10. Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya over by Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11. Cretes and Arabians, we 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?
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 to them, You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and listen to my words:
15. For these are not drunken, as you 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, says God, I will pour out from 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 menservants and on my maidservants I will pour out in those days from my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19. And I will show 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 memorable day of the Lord comes:
21. And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22. You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know:
23. Him, being delivered by the determining decision and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24. Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
25. For David speaks concerning him, I saw the Lord beforehand 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 will not leave my soul in the grave, neither will you permit your Holy One to see corruption.
28. You have made known to me the ways of life; you shall make me full of joy with your presence.
29. Men and kindred, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us to 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 beforehand spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in the grave, neither did his flesh see corruption.
32. This Jesus has God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
33. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.
34. For David did not ascend into the heavens: but he says himself, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35. Until I make your foes your footstool.
36. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made that same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37. Now when they heard this, they were pierced in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and kindred, what shall we do?
38. Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39. 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.
40. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation.
41. Then those who gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added to them about three thousand souls.
42. And they continued steadfastly 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 divided 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 food with gladness and singleness of heart,
47. Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
