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 G5037 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 G1161 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 .
