| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7They were amazed and astonished, saying, "Why, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8"And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born? |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Cretans and Arabs-- we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God." |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12And they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But others were mocking and saying, "They are full of sweet wine." |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: "Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15"For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day; |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS; |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT And they shall prophesy. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19'AND I WILL GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW, BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20'THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.' |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22"Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know-- |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24"But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25"For David says of Him, 'I SAW THE LORD ALWAYS IN MY PRESENCE; FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26'THEREFORE MY HEART WAS GLAD AND MY TONGUE EXULTED; MOREOVER MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE; |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT ABANDON MY SOUL TO HADES, NOR ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO UNDERGO DECAY. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28'YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE; YOU WILL MAKE ME FULL OF GLADNESS WITH YOUR PRESENCE.' |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29"Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30"And so, because he was a prophet and knew that GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH TO SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS ON HIS THRONE, |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh SUFFER DECAY. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32"This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33"Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34"For it was not David who ascended into heaven, but he himself says: 'THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET."' |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36"Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ-- this Jesus whom you crucified." |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?" |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39"For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself." |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation!" |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. |
