Atos 2

14 But Peter stood with the eleven, and raised up his voice, and spake to them, Ye Jews, and all that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with ears perceive ye my words.

15 For not as ye ween [or as ye guess], these be drunken, when it is the third hour of the day;

16 but this it is, that was said by the prophet Joel,

17 And it shall be in the last days, the Lord saith, I shall pour out my Spirit on each flesh [or on all flesh]; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elders shall dream swevens.

18 And on my servants and on mine handmaidens in those days I shall pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

19 And I shall give great wonders in heaven above, and signs in earth beneath, blood, and fire, and heat [or vapour] of smoke.

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that the great and the open day of the Lord [shall] come.

21 And it shall be, each man which-ever shall call to help [or in-call] the name of the Lord, shall be safe.

22 Ye men of Israel, hear ye these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God before you by virtues, and wonders, and tokens, which God did by him in the middle of you, as ye know,

23 ye tormented, and killed him by the hands of wicked men, by counsel determined and betaken by the fore-knowing [or the prescience] of God.

24 Whom God raised, when [the] sorrows of hell were unbound, by that that it was impossible that he were holden of it.

25 For David saith of him, I saw afar the Lord before me evermore, for he is on my right half, that I be not moved.

26 For this thing mine heart joyed, and my tongue made full out joy [or gladded], and moreover my flesh shall rest in hope.

27 For thou shalt not leave my soul in hell, neither thou shalt give thine Holy to see corruption.

28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt [full]-fill me in mirth with thy face.

29 Brethren, be it leaveful boldly to say to you of the patriarch David, for he is dead and buried, and his sepulchre is among us into this day.

30 Therefore when he was a prophet, and knew, that with a great oath God had sworn to him, that of the fruit of his loins should one sit on his seat,

31 he seeing afar spake of the resurrection of Christ, for neither he was left in hell, neither his flesh saw corruption.

32 God raised this Jesus, to whom we all be witnesses.

33 Therefore he was enhanced by the right hand of God, and through the promise of the Holy Ghost that he took of the Father, he shedded out this Spirit, that ye see and hear.

34 For David ascended not into heaven; but he saith, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right half,

35 till I put thine enemies the stool of thy feet.

36 Therefore most certainly know all the house of Israel, that God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus, whom ye crucified.

37 When they heard these things, they were compunct in heart; and they said to Peter and [to] other apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

38 And Peter said to them, Do ye penance, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, into remission of your sins; and ye shall take the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise [or repromission] is to you, and to your sons, and to all that be far, whichever [or whomever] our Lord God hath called.

40 Also with other words full many he witnessed to them, and admonished them, and said, Be ye saved from this shrewd [or this wicked] generation.

41 Then they that received his word were baptized, and in that day souls were increased, about three thousand;
