  Acts chapter 2. When the day of Pentecost had
• 0:03
  come, they were all together in one place, and suddenly there
• 0:06
  came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it
• 0:09
  filled the whole house where they were sitting.
• 0:11
  And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributing
• 0:13
  themselves, and they rested on each one of them, and they were
• 0:16
  all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other
• 0:18
  tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.
• 0:21
  Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every
• 0:24
  nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred,
• 0:26
  the crowd came together and were bewildered, because each one of
• 0:29
  them was hearing them speak in his own language.
• 0:32
  They were amazed and astonished, saying, Why are not all these
• 0:35
  who were speaking Galileans? And how is it that we each hear
• 0:38
  them in our own language to which we were born?
• 0:41
  Parthians and Medes and Elamites, residents of
• 0:43
  Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
• 0:47
  Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and all the districts of Libya and
• 0:50
  Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
• 0:54
  Cretans and Arabs, We hear them in our own tongues Speaking of
• 0:57
  the mighty deeds of God. But they all continued in
• 1:00
  amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, What does
• 1:03
  this mean? But others were mocking and
• 1:05
  saying, They are full of sweet wine.
• 1:07
  But Peter, taking his stand of the 11, raised his voice and
• 1:10
  declared to them, Men of Judea, and all who live in Jerusalem,
• 1:13
  let this be known to you, and give heed to my words.
• 1:16
  For these men are not drunk as you suppose, for it is only the
• 1:19
  third hour of the day. But this is what was spoken of
• 1:21
  through the prophet Joel. And it shall be in the last
• 1:24
  days. God says that I will pour forth
• 1:26
  of my Spirit on all mankind, and your sons and your daughters
• 1:29
  shall prophecy, and your young men shall see visions, and your
• 1:32
  old men shall dream dreams. Even on My bond.
• 1:35
  Slaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of
• 1:38
  My Spirit, and they shall prophecy, and I will grant
• 1:41
  wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth below, blood
• 1:45
  and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun will be turned Into
• 1:49
  Darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and
• 1:51
  glorious day of the Lord shall come.
• 1:53
  And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the
• 1:55
  Lord will be saved. Men of Israel, listen to these
• 1:59
  words. Jesus the Nazarene, a man
• 2:01
  attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs
• 2:04
  which God performed through him in your midst, just as you
• 2:07
  yourselves know this man, delivered over by the
• 2:10
  predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you
• 2:12
  kneeled to a cross by the hands of godless men and put him to
• 2:15
  death. But God raised him up again,
• 2:17
  putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible
• 2:20
  for him to be held in its power. For David says of him, I saw the
• 2:24
  Lord always in my presence, for He is at my right hand, so that
• 2:27
  I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart was glad and
• 2:30
  my tongue exalted. Moreover, my flesh also will
• 2:33
  live in hope, because you will not abandon my soul to Hades,
• 2:37
  nor allow your Holy 1 to undergo decay.
• 2:39
  You have made known to me the ways of life.
• 2:42
  You will make me full of gladness with your presence.
• 2:44
  Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch
• 2:47
  David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us
• 2:50
  to this day. And so, because he was a prophet
• 2:53
  and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of
• 2:56
  his descendants on his throne, he looked ahead and spoke of the
• 2:59
  resurrection of the Christ, that he was neither abandoned to
• 3:01
  Hades nor did his flesh suffer decay.
• 3:04
  This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses.
• 3:08
  Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God, and
• 3:11
  having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit,
• 3:14
  he has poured forth this which you both see and hear.
• 3:17
  For it was not David who ascended into heaven, but he
• 3:20
  himself says, the Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
• 3:23
  until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.
• 3:26
  Therefore let all the House of Israel know for certain that God
• 3:30
  has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you
• 3:33
  crucified. Now when they heard this, they
• 3:35
  were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of
• 3:37
  the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?
• 3:40
  Peter said to them, Repent, and each of you be baptized in the
• 3:43
  name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and
• 3:47
  you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
• 3:49
  For this promise is for you and your children, and for all who
• 3:52
  are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.
• 3:56
  And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on
• 3:59
  exhorting them, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation.
• 4:03
  So then those who had received His word were baptized, and that
• 4:06
  day they were added about 3000 souls.
• 4:09
  They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles
• 4:11
  teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to
• 4:13
  prayer. Everyone kept feeling a sense of
• 4:16
  awe, and many wonders and signs were taking place through the
• 4:18
  apostles and all those who had believed were together and had
• 4:22
  all things in common. And they began selling their
• 4:24
  property and possessions and were sharing them with all as
• 4:27
  anyone might have need, day by day, continuing with one mind in
• 4:30
  the temple and breaking bread from house to house.
• 4:33
  They were taking their meals together with gladness and
• 4:35
  sincerity of heart, praising God and having favour with all the
• 4:39
  people. And the Lord was adding to their
• 4:41
  number day by day, those who were being saved.
