Acts 2

The Day of Pentecost

1WhenG1722 1the dayG2250 of PentecostG4005 2had comeG4845, they were allG3956 togetherG3674 in oneG846 place. 2And suddenlyG869 a noiseG2279 likeG5618 a violentG972 rushingG5342 windG4157 cameG1096 from heavenG3772, and it filledG4137 3the wholeG3650 houseG3624 whereG3757 they were sittingG2521. 3And tonguesG1100 that looked like fireG4442 appearedG3708 to them, 4distributingG1266 themselves, and a tongue 5restedG2523 on eachG1538 oneG1520 of them. 4And they were allG3956 6filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and beganG757 to 7speakG2980 with differentG2087 8tonguesG1100, as the SpiritG4151 was givingG1325 them the ability to speakG669 outG669.

5NowG1161 there were JewsG2453 residingG2730 in JerusalemG2419, 9devoutG2126 menG435 from everyG3956 nationG1484 underG5259 heavenG3772. 6And when 10thisG3778 soundG5456 occurredG1096, the crowdG4128 cameG4905 togetherG4905 and they were bewilderedG4797, becauseG3754 eachG1538 oneG1520 of them was hearingG191 them speakG2980 in his ownG2398 11languageG1258. 712They were amazedG1839 and astonishedG2296, sayingG3004, “13WhyG2400, are not allG3956 theseG3778 who are speakingG2980 14GalileansG1057? 8And howG4459 is it that we eachG1538 hearG191 them in our ownG2398 15languageG1258 16to whichG3739 we were bornG1080? 9ParthiansG3934, MedesG3370, and ElamitesG1639, and residentsG2730 of MesopotamiaG3318, JudeaG2449, and 17CappadociaG2587, 18PontusG4195 and 1920AsiaG773, 1021PhrygiaG5435 and 22PamphyliaG3828, EgyptG125 and the partsG3313 of LibyaG3033 aroundG2596 23CyreneG2957, and 2425visitorsG1927 from RomeG4514, bothG5037 JewsG2453 and 2627proselytesG4339, 11CretansG2912 and ArabsG690--we hearG191 them speakingG2980 in our own 28tonguesG1100 of the mightyG3167 deedsG3167 of GodG2316.” 12And 29they allG3956 continued in amazementG1839 and greatG1280 perplexityG1280, sayingG3004 to oneG243 anotherG243, “WhatG5101 does thisG3778 meanG2309G1510?” 13But othersG2087 were jeeringG1315 and sayingG3004, “30They are fullG3325 of 31sweetG1098 wineG1098!”

Peter’s Sermon

14But PeterG4074, takingG2476 his standG2476 with 32the other elevenG1733, raisedG1869 his voiceG5456 and declaredG669 to them: “MenG435 of JudeaG2449 and allG3956 you who liveG2730 in JerusalemG2419, 33knowG1110 thisG3778, and payG1801 attentionG1801 toG1801 my wordsG4487. 15For theseG3778 peopleG3778 areG3184 not drunkG3184, as you assumeG5274, 34sinceG1063 it is only the 35thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the dayG2250; 16but thisG3778 is what has been spokenG3004 throughG1223 the prophetG4396 JoelG2493:17‘36And it shall be in the lastG2078 daysG2250,’ GodG2316 saysG3004, ‘That I will pourG1632 outG1632 My SpiritG4151 on allG3956 37mankindG4561; And your sonsG5207 and your daughtersG2364 will prophesyG4395, And your youngG3495 menG3495 will seeG3708 visionsG3706, And your oldG4245 menG4245 will 38haveG1797 dreamsG1798;18And evenG1065 on My maleG1401 and femaleG1399 39servantsG1401 I will pourG1632 outG1632 My SpiritG4151 in thoseG1565 daysG2250, And they will prophesyG4395.19And I will 40displayG1325 wondersG5059 in the skyG3772 aboveG507 And signsG4592 on the earthG1093 belowG2736, BloodG129, fireG4442, and 41vaporG822 of smokeG2586.20The sunG2246 will be turnedG3344 into darknessG4655 And the moonG4582 into bloodG129, BeforeG4250 the greatG3173 and gloriousG2016 dayG2250 of the LordG2962 comesG2064.21And it shall be that 42everyoneG3956 whoG3739 callsG1941 onG1941 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 will be savedG4982.’

22“MenG435 of IsraelG2475, listenG191 to theseG3778 wordsG3056: 43JesusG2424 the NazareneG3480, 44a ManG435 45attestedG584 to you by GodG2316 with 46miraclesG1411 and 47wondersG5059 and 48signsG4592 whichG3739 GodG2316 performedG4160 throughG1223 Him in your midstG3319, justG2531 asG2531 you yourselvesG846 knowG3609-- 23thisG3778 Man, deliveredG1560 overG1560 by the 49predeterminedG3724 planG1012 and foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316, 50you nailedG4362 toG4362 aG4362 crossG4362 by the handsG5495 of 51godlessG459 menG459 and putG337 Him toG337 deathG337. 2452But 53GodG2316 raisedG450 Him from the dead, puttingG3089 anG3089 endG3089 to the 54agonyG5604 of deathG2288, sinceG2530 it 55was impossibleG3756G1415 for Him to be heldG2902 56inG5259 its powerG5259. 25For DavidG1160 saysG3004 of Him, ‘57I sawG4308 the LordG2962 continuallyG1223G3956 beforeG1799 me, BecauseG3754 He is at my rightG1188 handG1188, soG2443 thatG2443 I will not be shakenG4531.26ThereforeG1223G3778 my heartG2588 wasG2165 gladG2165 and my tongueG1100 was overjoyedG21; MoreoverG2089G1161 my fleshG4561 alsoG2532 will liveG2681 in hopeG1680;27For You will not abandonG1459 my soulG5590 to 58HadesG86, 59NorG3761 will You 60allowG1325 Your 61HolyG3741 OneG3741 to 62undergoG3708 decayG1312.28You have madeG1107 knownG1107 to me the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; You will makeG4137 me fullG4137 of gladnessG2167 with Your presenceG4383.’

29“63BrothersG435G80, I mayG1832 confidentlyG3954 sayG3004 to you regardingG4012 the 64patriarchG3966 DavidG1160 that he bothG2532 65diedG5053 and 66was buriedG2290, and 67his tombG3418 is 68with us to thisG3778 dayG2250. 30SoG3767 because he was 69a prophetG4396 and knewG3609 that 70GodG2316 had swornG3660 to him with an oathG3727 to seatG2523 one 71of his descendantsG2590G3751 on his throneG2362, 31he lookedG4275 aheadG4275 and spokeG2980 of the resurrectionG386 of the 72ChristG5547, that 73He was neitherG3777 abandonedG1459 to HadesG86, norG3777 did His fleshG4561 74sufferG3708 decayG1312. 32It is thisG3778 JesusG2424 whom 75GodG2316 raisedG450 upG450, 76a fact to whichG3739 we are allG3956 77witnessesG3144. 33ThereforeG3767, 78since He has been exaltedG5312 7980at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, and 81has receivedG2983 82the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 from the FatherG3962, He has 83pouredG1632 outG1632 thisG3778 whichG3739 you bothG2532 seeG991 and hearG191. 34For it was not DavidG1160 who ascendedG305 into 84heavenG3772, but he himselfG846 saysG3004: ‘85The LordG2962 saidG3004 to my LordG2962, “SitG2521 at My rightG1188 handG1188,35UntilG2193 I makeG5087 Your enemiesG2190 a footstoolG5286 for Your feetG4228.”’ 36ThereforeG3767 let allG3956 the 86houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 for certainG806 that GodG2316 has madeG4160 Him bothG2532 87LordG2962 and 88ChristG5547--thisG3778 JesusG2424 89whomG3739 you crucifiedG4717.”

37NowG1161 when they heardG191 this, they were 90piercedG2660 to the heartG2588, and saidG3004 to PeterG4074 and the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, “91BrothersG435G80, 92whatG5101 are we to doG4160?” 38PeterG4074 said to them, “93RepentG3340, and eachG1538 of you be 94baptizedG907 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for the forgivenessG859 of your sinsG266; and you will receiveG2983 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 39For 95the promiseG1860 is for you and your childrenG5043 and for allG3956 whoG3588 are 96farG3112 awayG3112, as manyG3745 as the LordG2962 our GodG2316 will callG4341 to Himself.” 40And with manyG4183 otherG2087 wordsG3056 he solemnlyG1263 97testifiedG1263 and kept on urgingG3870 them, sayingG3004, “98Be savedG4982 from thisG3778 99perverseG4646 generationG1074!” 41SoG3767 thenG3767, thoseG3588 who had receivedG588 his wordG3056 were baptizedG907; and that dayG2250 there were addedG4369 aboutG5616 threeG5153 thousandG5153 100101soulsG5590. 42They were 102continuallyG4342 devotingG4342 themselvesG4342 to the apostles’G652 teachingG1322 and to fellowshipG2842, to 103the breakingG2800 of breadG740 and 104to 105prayerG4335.

43106EveryoneG3956 kept feelingG1096 a senseG5401 ofG5401 aweG5401; and manyG4183 107wondersG5059 and 108signsG4592 were takingG1096 placeG1096 throughG1223 the apostlesG652. 44And allG3956 the believersG4100 109were togetherG1909G3588G846 and 110hadG2192 allG537 thingsG537 in commonG2839; 45and they 111would sellG4097 their propertyG2933 and possessionsG5223 and shareG1266 them with allG3956, toG2530 theG2530 extentG2530 thatG2530 anyoneG5100 hadG2192 needG5532. 46112DayG2250 by dayG2250 continuingG4342 with oneG3661 mindG3661 in the templeG2413, and 113breakingG2806 breadG740 114from houseG3624 to houseG3624, they were takingG3335 their 115mealsG5160 togetherG3335 with gladnessG20 and 116sincerityG858 of heartG2588, 47praisingG134 GodG2316 and 117havingG2192 favorG5485 with allG3650 the peopleG2992. And the LordG2962 118was addingG4369 to 119their numberG846 dayG2250 by dayG2250 120thoseG3588 who were being savedG4982.
