1 And while fulfilling the day of Pentecost, they were all together at the same place.
2 And suddenly there developed a sound from the sky as of a forceful wind moving, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared to them dividing tongues, as of fire, and they settled upon each one of them.
4 And they were all filled of Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to declare.
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.
6 And the sound of this that happened brought the multitude together. And it was bewildered because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7 And they were amazed and marveled, saying to each other, Behold, are not all these men who speak Galileans?
8 And how do we each hear our own language in which we were born?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, and Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 and Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya along Cyrene, and those Roman aliens, including Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians. We hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.
12 And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, others saying to others, Whatever does this intend to be?
13 But others, mocking said, They are filled of wine.
14 But Peter having stood up with the eleven, raised his voice and spoke out to them, saying, Jewish men, and all who dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and listen to my sayings.
15 For these men are not drunken, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 And it will be in the last days, says God, I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your elders will dream dreams.
18 And also on my bondmen and on my bondmaids in those days I will pour out from my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and wonderful day of Lord comes.
21 And it will be, that every man, whoever may call on the name of Lord will be saved.
22 Men, Israelites, hear ye these words. Jesus the Nazarene, a man shown by 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 this man, having been designated (by the purpose and foreknowledge of God) a man delivered up, ye, having taken by lawless hands, killed, having crucified,
24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
25 For David speaks for him: I beheld the Lord always before me, because he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved.
26 Because of this my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad. And moreover my flesh will also rest in hope.
27 Because thou will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will thou give thy Holy man to see decay.
28 Thou made known to me the paths of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
29 Men, brothers, being permitted to speak to you with openness about the patriarch David, that he both perished and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day.
30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, to raise the Christ from the fruit of his loins according to flesh to sit upon his throne.
31 Having foreseen this, he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left behind in Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.
32 This Jesus, God raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
33 Therefore, exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out this that ye now see and hear.
34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand
35 until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Now having heard this, they were pierced in the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, Men, brothers, what will we do?
38 And Peter said to them, Repent ye, and be immersed each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those in afar, as many as Lord our God may call.
40 And with many more other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this crooked generation.
41 Indeed therefore those who received his word gladly, were immersed. And there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
42 And they were continuing steadfastly in the apostles doctrine, and in fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and the prayers.
43 And fear developed in every soul. And many wonders and signs occurred through the apostles.
44 And all who believed were together, and had all things common.
45 And they sold properties and possessions, and divided them to all, according as any man had need.
46 And continuing steadfastly, daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of nourishment in gladness and evenness of heart,
47 praising God, and having favor with the whole populace. And the Lord was adding to the church daily those being saved.
1 Whe the fyftith daye was come they were all with one accorde togeder in one place.
2 And sodenly ther cam a sounde from heaven as it had bene the comminge of a myghty wynde and it filled all the housse where they sate.
3 And ther appered vnto them cloven tonges lyke as they had bene fyre and it sate vpon eache of them:
4 and they were all filled with the holy goost and beganne to speake with other tonges even as the sprete gave them vtteraunce.
5 And ther were dwellinge at Ierusalem Iewes devoute men which were of all nacions vnder heaven.
6 When this was noysed aboute the multitude came to gether and were astonyed because that every man hearde the speake his awne touge.
7 They wondred all and marveyled sayinge amoge them selves: Beholde are not all these which speake of Galile?
8 And how heare we every man his awne touge wherein we were boren?
9 Parthians Medes and Elamytes and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia of Iury and of Capadocia of Ponthus and Asia
10 Phrigia Pamphilia and of Egypte and of the parties of Libia which is besyde Syrene and straungers of Rome Iewes and convertes
11 Grekes and Arabians: we have herde them speake with oure awne tonges the greate workes of God.
12 They were all amased and wondred sayinge one to another: what meaneth this?
13 Other mocked the sayinge: they are full of newe wyne.
14 But Peter stepped forth with the eleve and lift vp his voyce and sayde vnto them: Ye men of Iewrye and all ye that inhabite Ierusalem: be this knowe vnto you and with youre eares heare my wordes.
15 These are not dronken as ye suppose: for it is yet but the thyrde houre of ye daye.
16 But this is that which was spoken by ye Prophete Iohel:
17 It shalbe in the last dayes sayth God: of my sprete I will powre out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes and youre doughters shall prophesy and youre yoge men shall se visions and youre olde me shall dreme dremes.
18 And on my servauts and on my honde maydens I will powre out of my sprete in those dayes and they shall prophesye.
19 And I will shewe wonders in heaven a bove and tokens in the erth benethe bloud and fyre and the vapour of smoke.
20 The sunne shalbe turned into darknes and the mone into bloud before that greate and notable daye of the Lorde come.
21 And it shalbe that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lorde shalbe saved.
22 Ye men of Israel heare these wordes. Iesus of Nazareth a ma approved of God amoge you with myracles wondres and signes which God dyd by him in ye myddes of you as ye youre selves knowe:
23 him have ye taken by the hondes of vnrightewes persones after he was delivered by the determinat counsell and foreknoweledge of God and have crucified and slayne:
24 whom God hath raysed vp and lowsed the sorowes of deeth because it was vnpossible that he shuld be holden of it.
25 For David speaketh of him: Afore honde I sawe God alwayes before me: For he is on my ryght honde that I shuld not be moved.
26 Therfore dyd my hert reioyce and my tonge was glad. Moreover also my flesshe shall rest in hope
27 because thou wilt not leve my soul in hell nether wilt suffre thyne holye to se corrupcio.
28 Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe and shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce.
29 Men and brethren let me frely speake vnto you of the partriarke David: For he is both deed and buryed and his sepulcre remayneth with vs vnto this daye.
30 Therfore seinge he was a Prophet and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him that the frute of his loynes shuld sit on his seat (in that Christ shulde ryse agayne in the flesshe)
31 he sawe before: and spake in the resurreccion of Christ that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether his flesse shuld se corrupcio.
32 This Iesus hath God raysyd vp wherof we all are witnesses.
33 Sence now that he by the right honde of God exalted is and hath receaved of the father the promyse of the holy goost he hath sheed forthe that which ye nowe se and heare.
34 For David is not ascendyd into heave: but he sayde. The Lorde sayde to my Lorde sit on my right honde
35 vntill I make thy fooes thy fote stole.
36 So therfore let all the housse of Israel knowe for a suerty yt God hath made ye same Iesus whom ye have crucified lorde and Christ.
37 When they hearde this they were pricked in their hertes and sayd vnto Peter and vnto the other Apostles: Ye men and brethre what shall we do?
38 Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of synnes and ye shall receave the gyfte of the holy goost.
39 For ye promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldre and to all that are afarre even as many as ye Lorde oure God shall call.
40 And with many other wordes bare he witnes and exhorted them sayinge: Save youre selves from this vntowarde generacion.
41 Then they that gladly receaved his preachynge were baptised: and the same daye ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules.
42 And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and felloushippe and in breakinge of breed and in prayer.
43 And feare came over every soule. And many wondres and signes were shewed by the Apostles.
44 And all that beleved kept them selves to gedder and had all thinges comen
45 and solde their possessions and goodes and departed them to all men as every man had nede.
46 And they continued dayly with one acorde in the teple and brake breed in every housse and dyd eate their meate to gedder with gladnes and singlenes of hert
47 praysinge God and had faveour with all the people. And the Lorde added to ye congregacion dayly soche as shuld be saved.
