1And when the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven, as being borne along by a rushing violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, being distributed, and it sat upon each one of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own dialect. 7And they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, Behold, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8And how is it that we hear, each in our own dialect in which we were born? 9Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11Cretans and Arabs; we hear them speaking in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, Whatever would this wish to be? 13Others mocking said, They are full of sweet wine. 14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words. 15For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out from My Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. 18And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. 19I will present wonders in the heavens above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21And it shall come to pass that everyone who shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 22Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man approved by God to you by works of power, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know; 23Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24whom God raised up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it. 25For David says concerning Him: I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for He is at my right hand, that I not be shaken. 26Therefore my heart rejoices, and my tongue is glad; moreover my flesh also dwells in hope. 27For You will not leave My soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. 28You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence. 29Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne; 31he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32This Jesus, God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. 34For David did not ascend into Heaven, but he says himself: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, 35until I make Your enemies Your footstool. 36Therefore let all the house of Israel understand with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38Then Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be immersed in the name of Jesus Christ to the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call. 40And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation. 41Then those who gladly received his word were immersed; and that day about three thousand souls were added. 42And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs took place through the apostles. 44Now all the believers were together, and had all things in common, 45and sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to each person, as anyone had need. 46So continuing day by day with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
