Wheng1722  athe dayg2250 of Pentecostg4005  1had comeg4845, they were allg3956 togetherg3674 in oneg846 place.

2

And suddenlyg869 there cameg1096 from heaveng3772 a noiseg2279 likeg5618 a violentg972 rushingg5342 windg4157, and it filledg4137  athe wholeg3650 houseg3624 whereg3757 they were sittingg2521.

3

And there appearedg3708 to them tonguesg1100 as of fireg4442  1distributingg1266 themselves, and  2they  3restedg2523 on eachg1538 oneg1520 of them.

4

And they were allg3956  afilledg4092a with the Holyg40 Spiritg4151 and begang757 to  bspeakg2980 with otherg2087  1tonguesg1100, as the Spiritg4151 was givingg1325 them  2utteranceg669.

5

Nowg1161 there were Jewsg2453 livingg2730 in Jerusalemg2419,  adevoutg2126 meng435 from everyg3956 nationg1484 underg5259 heaveng3772.

6

And when  athisg3778 soundg5456 occurredg1096, the crowdg4128 cameg4905 togetherg4905, and were bewilderedg4797 becauseg3754 eachg1538 oneg1520 of them was hearingg191 them speakg2980 in his owng2398  1languageg1258.

7

 aThey were amazedg1839 and astonishedg2296, sayingg3004, " 1Whyg2400, are not allg3956 theseg3778 who are speakingg2980  bGalileansg1057?

8

"And howg4459 is it that we eachg1538 hearg191 them in our owng2398  1languageg1258  2to whichg3739 we were borng1080?

9

"Parthiansg3934 and Medesg3370 and Elamitesg1639, and residentsg2730 of Mesopotamiag3318, Judeag2453 and  aCappadociag2587,  bPontusg4195 and  1 cAsiag773,

10

 aPhrygiag5435 and  bPamphyliag3828, Egyptg125 and the districtsg3313 of Libyag3033 aroundg2596  cCyreneg2957, and  1 dvisitorsg1927 from Romeg4514, bothg5037 Jewsg2453 and  2 eproselytesg4339,

11

Cretansg2912 and Arabsg690b--we hearg191 them in our own tonguesg1100 speakingg2980 of the mightyg3167 deedsg3167 of Godg2316."

12

And  athey allg3956 continued in amazementg1839 and greatg1280 perplexityg1280, sayingg3004 to oneg243 anotherg243, "Whatg5101 does thisg3778 meang2309g1510?"

13

But othersg2087 were mockingg1315b and sayingg3004, " aThey are fullg3325 of  1sweetg1098 wineg1098."

Peter's Sermon

14

But Peterg4074,  1takingg2476 his standg2476 with  athe eleveng1733, raisedg1869 his voiceg5456 and declaredg669 to them: "Meng435 of Judeag2453 and allg3956 you who liveg2730 in Jerusalemg2419, let thisg3778 be knowng1110 to you and giveg1801 heedg1801 to my wordsg4487.

15

"For theseg3778 meng3778 are not drunkg3184, as you supposeg5274,  afor it is only the  1thirdg5154 hourg5610 of the dayg2250;

16

but thisg3778 is what was spokeng3004 of throughg1223 the prophetg4396 Joelg2493b:

17

aAND IT SHALL BE IN THE LASTg2078 DAYSg2250,' Godg2316 saysg3004, `THAT I WILL POURg1632a FORTHg1632a OF MY SPIRITg4151 ON ALLg3956  1MANKINDg4561; AND YOUR SONSg5207 AND YOUR DAUGHTERSg2364 SHALL PROPHESYg4395, AND YOUR YOUNGg3495 MENg3495 SHALL SEEg3708 VISIONSg3706, AND YOUR OLDg4245 MENg4245 SHALL DREAMg1797 DREAMSg1798;

18

EVENg2532 ON MY BONDSLAVESg1401, BOTH MENg1401 AND WOMENg1401, I WILL IN THOSEg1565 DAYSg2250 POURg1632a FORTHg1632a OF MY SPIRITg4151 And they shall prophesyg4395.

19

`AND I WILL GRANTg1325 WONDERSg5059 IN THE SKYg3772 ABOVEg507 AND SIGNSg4592 ON THE EARTHg1093 BELOWg2736, BLOODg129, AND FIREg4442, AND VAPORg822 OF SMOKEg2586.

20

`THE SUNg2246 WILL BE TURNEDg3344 INTO DARKNESSg4655 AND THE MOONg4582 INTO BLOODg129, BEFOREg4250 THE GREATg3173 AND GLORIOUSg2016 DAYg2250 OF THE LORDg2962 SHALL COMEg2064.

21

`AND IT SHALL BE THAT  aEVERYONEg3956 WHOg3739 CALLSg1941 ON THE NAMEg3686 OF THE LORDg2962 WILL BE SAVEDg4982.'

22

"Meng435 of Israelg2475a, listeng191 to theseg3778 wordsg3056:  aJesusg2424 the Nazareneg3480,  ba mang435  1attestedg584 to you by Godg2316 with  2miraclesg1411 and  cwondersg5059 and  3signsg4592 whichg3739 Godg2316 performedg4160 throughg1223 Him in your midstg3319, justg2531a as you yourselvesg846 knowg3609a--

23

thisg3778 Man, deliveredg1560 over by the  apredeterminedg3724 plang1012 and foreknowledgeg4268 of Godg2316,  byou nailedg4362 to a crossg4362 by the handsg5495 of  1godlessg459 meng459 and putg337 Him to deathg337.

24

1But  aGodg2316 raisedg450 Him up againg450, puttingg3089 an endg3089 to the  2agonyg5604 of deathg2288, sinceg2530 it  bwas impossibleg3756g1415 for Him to be heldg2902  3in its powerg5259.

25

"For Davidg1160b saysg3004 of Him, ` aI SAWg4308 THE LORDg2962 ALWAYSg1223g3956 IN MY PRESENCEg1799; FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHTg1188 HANDg1188, SOg2443 THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKENg4531.

26

`THEREFOREg1223g3778 MY HEARTg2588 WAS GLADg2165 AND MY TONGUEg1100 EXULTEDg21; MOREOVERg2089g1161 MY FLESHg4561 ALSOg2532 WILL LIVEg2681 IN HOPEg1680;

27

BECAUSEg3754 YOU WILL NOT ABANDONg1459 MY SOULg5590 TO  aHADESg86,  bNORg3761  1ALLOWg1325 YOUR  2HOLYg3741 ONEg3741 TO  3UNDERGOg3708 DECAYg1312.

28

`YOU HAVE MADEg1107 KNOWNg1107 TO ME THE WAYSg3598 OF LIFEg2222; YOU WILL MAKEg4137 ME FULLg4137 OF GLADNESSg2167 WITH YOUR PRESENCEg4383.'

29

1Brethreng435g80, I mayg1832 confidentlyg3954 sayg3004 to you regardingg4012 the  apatriarchg3966 Davidg1160b that he bothg2532  bdiedg5053 and  cwas buriedg2290, and  dhis tombg3418 is  2with us to thisg3778 dayg2250.

30

"And sog3767, because he was  aa prophetg4396 and knewg3609a that  bGODg2316 HAD SWORNg3660 TO HIM WITH AN OATHg3727 TO SEATg2523 one  1OF HIS DESCENDANTSg2590g3751 ON HIS THRONEg2362,

31

he lookedg4275a aheadg4275a and spokeg2980 of the resurrectiong386 of  1the Christg5547, that  aHE WAS NEITHERg3777 ABANDONEDg1459 TO HADESg86, NORg3777 DID His fleshg4561  2SUFFERg3708 DECAYg1312.

32

"Thisg3778 Jesusg2424  aGodg2316 raisedg450 up againg450, to whichg3739 we are allg3956  bwitnessesg3144.

33

"Thereforeg3767 having been exaltedg5312  1 ato the rightg1188 handg1188 of Godg2316, and  bhaving receivedg2983 from the Fatherg3962  cthe promiseg1860 of the Holyg40 Spiritg4151, He has  dpouredg1632a forthg1632a thisg3778 whichg3739 you bothg2532 seeg991 and hearg191.

34

"For it was not Davidg1160b who ascendedg305 into  1heaveng3772, but he himselfg846 saysg3004: ` aTHE LORDg2962 SAIDg3004 TO MY LORDg2962, "SITg2521 AT MY RIGHTg1188 HANDg1188,

35

UNTILg2193 I MAKEg5087 YOUR ENEMIESg2190 A FOOTSTOOLg5286 FOR YOUR FEETg4228."'

36

"Thereforeg3767 let allg3956 the  ahouseg3624 of Israelg2274 knowg1097 for certaing806 that Godg2316 has madeg4160 Him bothg2532  bLordg2962 and  1Christg5547--thisg3778 Jesusg2424  cwhomg3739 you crucifiedg4717."

The Ingathering

37

Nowg1161 when they heardg191 this, they were  1piercedg2660 to the heartg2588, and saidg3004 to Peterg4074 and the restg3062 of the apostlesg652, " 2Brethreng435g80,  3 awhatg5101 shall we dog4160?"

38

Peterg4074 said to them, " aRepentg3340, and eachg1538 of you be  bbaptizedg907 in the nameg3686 of Jesusg2424 Christg5547 for the forgivenessg859 of your sinsg266; and you will receiveg2983 the giftg1431 of the Holyg40 Spiritg4151.

39

"For  athe promiseg1860 is for you and your childreng5043 and for allg3956 whog3588 are  bfarg3112 offg3112, as manyg3745 as the Lordg2962 our Godg2316 will callg4341 to Himself."

40

And with manyg4183 otherg2087 wordsg3056 he solemnlyg1263  atestifiedg1263 and kept on exhortingg3870 them, sayingg3004, " 1Be savedg4982 from thisg3778  bperverseg4646 generationg1074!"

41

Sog3767 theng3767, thoseg3588 who had receivedg588 his wordg3056 were baptizedg907; and that dayg2250 there were addedg4369 aboutg5616 threeg5153 thousandg5153  1 asoulsg5590.

42

They were  acontinuallyg4342 devotingg4342 themselvesg4342 to the apostles'g652 teachingg1322 and to fellowshipg2842, to  bthe breakingg2800 of breadg740 and  1 ato prayerg4335.

43

 1Everyoneg3956 kept feelingg1096 a senseg5401 of aweg5401; and manyg4183  awondersg5059 and  2signsg4592 were takingg1096 placeg1096 throughg1223 the apostlesg652.

44

And allg3956 thoseg3588 who had believedg4100  1were togetherg1909g3588g846 and  ahadg2192 allg537a thingsg537a in commong2839;

45

and they  abegan sellingg4097 their propertyg2933 and possessionsg5223 and were sharingg1266 them with allg3956, as anyoneg5100 might haveg2192 needg5532.

46

 aDayg2250 by dayg2250 continuingg4342 with oneg3661 mindg3661 in the templeg2413, and  bbreakingg2806 breadg740  1from houseg3624 to houseg3624, they were takingg3335 their  2mealsg5160 togetherg3335 with gladnessg20 and  3sincerityg858 of heartg2588,

47

praisingg134 Godg2316 and  ahavingg2192 favorg5485 with allg3650 the peopleg2992. And the Lordg2962  bwas addingg4369  1to their numberg846 dayg2250 by dayg2250  cthoseg3588 who were being savedg4982.
