AC-2:1  And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were

all

with one accord in one place.

AC-2:2  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a

rushing

mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

AC-2:3  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of

fire,

and it sat upon each of them.

AC-2:4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began

to

speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

AC-2:5  And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men,

out

of every nation under heaven.

AC-2:6  Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came

together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them

speak in his own language.

AC-2:7  And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to

another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

AC-2:8  And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we

were

born?

AC-2:9  Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in

Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

AC-2:10  Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of

Libya

about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

AC-2:11  Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our

tongues

the wonderful works of God.

AC-2:12  And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one

to

another, What meaneth this?

AC-2:13  Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

AC-2:14  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:

AC-2:15  For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is

[but] the third hour of the day.

AC-2:16  But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

AC-2:17  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:

AC-2:18  And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour

out in

those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

AC-2:19  And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in

the

earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

AC-2:20  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into

blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

AC-2:21  And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call

on

the name of the Lord shall be saved.

AC-2:22  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:

AC-2:23  Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and

foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have

crucified and slain:

AC-2:24  Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of

death:

because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

AC-2:25  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:

AC-2:26  Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad;

moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

AC-2:27  Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither

wilt

thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

AC-2:28  Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt

make me full of joy with thy countenance.

AC-2:29  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.

AC-2:30  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;

AC-2:31  He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of

Christ,

that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see

corruption.

AC-2:32  This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are

witnesses.

AC-2:33  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.

AC-2:34  For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith

himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

AC-2:35  Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

AC-2:36  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,

that

God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord

and

Christ.

AC-2:37  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?

AC-2:38  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.

AC-2:39  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.

AC-2:40  And with many other words did he testify and exhort,

saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

AC-2:41  Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:

and

the same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand

souls.

AC-2:42  And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine

and

fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

AC-2:43  And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and

signs

were done by the apostles.

AC-2:44  And all that believed were together, and had all things

common;

AC-2:45  And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to

all [men], as every man had need.

AC-2:46  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,

AC-2:47  Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And

the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
