1 And in the arriving of the day of Pentecost, they were all together at the same [place]. VP
2 And suddenly there came out of heaven a sound like a violent rushing of wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. VP
3 And there appeared to them dividing tongues as of fire, and they sat upon each one of them. VP
4 And they were all filled with [the] Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit was giving to them to declare forth. VP
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. VP
6 Now this sound having happened, the multitude came together and was confounded, because each one was hearing them speaking in [his] own language. VP
7 And they were amazed and were marveling, saying, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? VP
8 And how do we each hear our own language in which we were born? VP
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites; and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, also Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, VP
10 both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya around Cyrene; and those visiting from Rome, VP
11 both Jews and converts; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking [in] our own tongues the great things of God!” VP
12 And all were amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this wish to be?” VP
13 But others, mocking, were saying, “They are full of new wine!” VP
14 But Peter, having stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice and declared forth to them: “Men of Judea and all those dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you⁺, and give heed to my words. VP
15 For these are not drunk, as you⁺ suppose, for it is [the] third hour of the day! VP
16 But this is that having been said through the prophet Joel: VP
17 ‘And it will come to pass in the last days, God says, [that] 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⁺ old men will dream dreams. VP
18 And even on My menservants and on My maidservants, In those days I will pour out from My Spirit, and they will prophesy. VP
19 And I will give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke. VP
20 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before [the] coming Day of [the] Lord, great and glorious. VP
21 And it will come to pass [that] everyone who shall call upon the name of [the] Lord will be saved.” VP
22 Men, Israelites, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man having been set forth by God to you⁺ by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did through Him in your⁺ midst, just as you⁺ yourselves know, VP
23 this [One], by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, delivered up by lawless hands, having crucified, you⁺ put to death, VP
24 whom God raised up, having loosed the agony of death, inasmuch as it was not possible [for] Him to be held by it. VP
25 For David says as to Him: ‘I foresaw the Lord before me through all, because He is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken. VP
26 Because of this my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced, and still also my flesh will dwell in hope, VP
27 because You will not abandon my soul into Hades, nor will You give Your Holy One to see decay. VP
28 You made known to me [the] paths of life; You will fill me with joy with Your presence.’ VP
29 Men, brothers, it is permitted [me] to speak with freedom to you⁺ about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us until this day, VP
30 being therefore a prophet and knowing that with an oath God swore to him to seat [one] out of [the] fruit of his loins on his throne, VP
31 having foreseen, he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was He abandoned into Hades, nor did His flesh see decay. VP
32 This Jesus God raised up, of which we all are witnesses. VP
33 Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He poured out this which you⁺ both see and hear. VP
34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand VP
35 until I place Your enemies [as] a footstool for Your feet.”’ VP
36 Therefore let all [the] house of Israel know assuredly that God made Him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus whom you⁺ crucified.” VP
37 And having heard, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?” VP
38 And Peter says to them, “Repent and be baptized, each of you⁺, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your⁺ sins, and you⁺ will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. VP
39 For the promise is to you⁺ and to your⁺ children and to all those at a distance, as many as [the] Lord our God shall summon.” VP
40 And with many other words he earnestly testified, and he was exhorting them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation.” VP
41 Therefore those indeed having received his word were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added. VP
42 Now they were steadfastly continuing in the teaching of the apostles and in the fellowship, in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers. VP
43 And fear was coming upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. VP
44 And all those believing were in the same [place] and were having all things in common. VP
45 And they were selling the possessions and the goods and were dividing them to all, as anyone had need. VP
46 And every day they were steadfastly continuing with one accord in the temple and breaking bread at each house. They were partaking of food with gladness and sincerity of heart, VP
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the same. VP
