1 Now when the day of Shavu`ot had come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them. 4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak. 5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky. 6 When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language. 7 They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans? 8 How do we hear, everyone in our own native language? 9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, 10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!" 12 They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" 13 Others, mocking, said, "They are filled with new wine."

14 But Peter, standing up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, "You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words. 15 For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

17 ‘It will be in the last days, says God,

that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.

Your sons and your daughters will prophesy.

Your young men will see visions.

Your old men will dream dreams.

18 Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days,

I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

19 I will show wonders in the sky above,

and signs on the earth beneath:

blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

20 The sun will be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood,

before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

22 "Men of Israel, hear these words! Yeshua of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, even as you yourselves know, 23 him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed; 24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning him,

‘I saw the Lord always before my face,

for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.

26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced.

Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;

27 because you will not leave my soul in Sheol,

neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

28 You made known to me the ways of life.

You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

29 "Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, 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 Messiah to sit on his throne, 31 he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul wasn’t left in Sheol, and his flesh didn’t see decay. 32 This Yeshua God raised up, to which we all are witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear. 34 For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself,

‘The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit by my right hand

35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."’

36 "Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Yeshua whom you crucified."

37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the emissaries, "Brothers, what shall we do?"

38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be immersed, every one of you, in the name of Yeshua the Messiah for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself." 40 With many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation!"

41 Then those who gladly received his word were immersed. There were added that day about three thousand souls. 42 They continued steadfastly in the emissaries’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer. 43 Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the emissaries. 44 All who believed were together, and had all things in common. 45 They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need. 46 Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all unanimously assembled in the same place:2 and, on a sudden, there was a sound from heaven, as of a rushing violent wind; and it filled all the house where they were sitting.3 And there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, distinctly separated, and it rested upon each of them,4 and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance.5 Now there were sojourning in Jerusalem pious men; Jews from every nation under heaven;6 and when this report came abroad, the multitude assembled, and were confounded; for every one heard them speaking in his own dialect.7 And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another, Behold! are not all these that speak, Galileans?8 And how do we every one hear in his own native language:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those that inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,10 Phrygia, and Pamphilia, Egypt, and the parts of Africa which are about Cyrene: Roman strangers, also, both Jews and proselytes;11 Cretes, and Arabians; we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God!12 And they were all in amazement and perplexity, and said one to another, What can this mean?13 But others, mocking, said, Surely these men are filled with sweet wine.14 But, Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice, and said to them-Jews, and all you that sojourn in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and attend to my words;15 for these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since 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, says God, I will pour out a portion of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy; and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.»18 Yes, in those days I will pour out of my Spirit upon my servants, and upon my handmaids; and they shall prophesy;19 and I will give prodigies in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood and fire, and a cloud of smoke:20 the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and illustrious day of the Lord come.21 «And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall invoke the name of the Lord shall be saved.»22 Israelites, hear these words: Jesus, the Nazarene, a man recommended to you by God, by powerful operations, and wonders, and signs, which God wrought by him in the midst of you, (as you yourselves also know,)23 him you have apprehended, being given up by the declared counsel and foreknowledge of God, and by the hands of sinners have crucified and slain:24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, as it was impossible that he should be held under it.25 «For David says, concerning him,» 'I have regarded the Lord as always before me; because he is at my right hand, that I might not be moved:'26 for this reason my heart is glad, and my tongue exults; moreover, too, my flesh shall rest in hope27 that thou wilt not leave my soul in the unseen world, neither wilt thou permit thy Holy One to see corruption.28 «Thou hast made me to know the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with thy countenance.»29 Brethren, permit me to speak freely to you concerning the patriarch David; the he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is among us to this day;30 therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins he would raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne;31 he, foreseeing this, spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul should not be left in the unseen world, nor his flesh see corruption.32 This Jesus, God has raised up, of which all we are witnesses:33 being exalted, therefore, to the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has shed forth this, which you see and hear.34 «For David is not ascended into heaven, but he says,» 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,'35 till I make thy foes thy footstool.36 Let, therefore, all the house of Israel assuredly know, that God has made this Jesus, whom you have crucified, Lord and Messiah.37 Now, when they heard these things, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?38 And Peter said to them, Reform, and be each of you immersed in the name of Jesus Christ, in order to the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off; as many as the Lord our God shall call.40 And with many other words he testified, and exhorted, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation.41 They, therefore, who received his word with readiness, were immersed: and there were added to the disciples that very day, about three thousand souls.42 And they continued steadfast in the teaching, in the fellowship, in the breaking of the load, and in the prayers of the Apostles.43 Fear also fell upon every soul, and many miracles and signs were wrought by the Apostles.44 And all that believed were together, and had all things in common.45 They also sold their possessions and effects, and distributed them to every one according to his necessity.46 Moreover, they continued unanimously in the temple every day; and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with joy and simplicity of heart,47 praising God, having favor with all the people: and the Lord daily added the saved to the congregation.
