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 a rush­ing 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.
