1AndG2532 whenG4845 the dayG3588G2250 of PentecostG3588G4005 was fully comeG4845, theyG846 wereG1510 allG537 with one accordG3661 inG1722 one placeG1909. 2AndG2532 suddenlyG869 there cameG1096 a soundG2279 fromG1537 heavenG3588G3772 asG5618 of a rushingG5342 mightyG972 windG4157, andG2532 it filledG4137 allG3650 the houseG3588G3624 whereG3757 they wereG1510 sittingG2521. 3AndG2532 there appearedG3708 unto themG846 clovenG1266 tonguesG1100 like asG5616 of fireG4442, andG5037 it satG2523 uponG1909 eachG1538 of themG846. 4AndG2532 they wereG4130 allG537 filledG4130 with theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 beganG756 to speak withG2980 otherG2087 tonguesG1100, asG2531 the SpiritG3588G4151 gaveG1325 themG846 utteranceG669. 5AndG1161 there wereG1510 dwellingG2730 atG1722 JerusalemG2419 JewsG2453, devoutG2126 menG435, out ofG575 everyG3956 nationG1484 underG5259 heavenG3588G3772. 6NowG1161 whenG1096 thisG3778 wasG1096 noised abroadG3588G5456, the multitudeG3588G4128 came togetherG4905, andG2532 were confoundedG4797, because thatG3754 every manG1538 heardG191 themG846 speakG2980 in his ownG2398 languageG1258. 7AndG1161 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839 andG2532 marvelledG2296, sayingG3004 oneG240 toG4314 anotherG240, BeholdG3708, areG1510 notG3756 allG3956 theseG3778 which speakG2980 GalilæansG1057? 8AndG2532 howG4459 hearG191 weG1473 every manG1538 inG1722 ourG1473 ownG2398 tongueG1258, whereinG3739 we were bornG1080? 9ParthiansG3934, andG2532 MedesG3370, andG2532 ElamitesG1639, andG2532 the dwellersG2730 in MesopotamiaG3588G3318, andG5037 in JudæaG2449, andG2532 CappadociaG2587, in PontusG4195, andG2532 AsiaG3588G773, 10PhrygiaG5435, andG2532 PamphyliaG3828, in EgyptG125, andG2532 in the partsG3588G3313 of LibyaG3588G3033 aboutG2596 CyreneG2957, andG2532 strangersG3588G1927 of RomeG4514, JewsG2453 andG2532 proselytesG4339, 11CretesG2912 andG2532 ArabiansG690, we do hearG191 themG846 speakG2980 in ourG2251 tonguesG1100 the wonderful worksG3167 of GodG3588G2316. 12AndG1161 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839, andG2532 were in doubtG1280, sayingG3004 oneG243 toG4314 anotherG243, WhatG5101 meanethG2309 thisG3778? 13OthersG2087 mockingG5512 saidG3004, These menG3325 areG1510 fullG3325 of new wineG1098. 14
ButG1161 PeterG4074, standing upG2476 withG4862 the elevenG1733, lifted upG1869 hisG846 voiceG3588G5456, andG2532 saidG669 unto themG846, Ye menG435 of JudæaG2453, andG2532 allG537 ye that dwellG2730 at JerusalemG2419, beG1510 thisG3778 knownG1110 unto youG4771, andG2532 hearken toG1801 myG1473 wordsG3588G4487: 15ForG1063 theseG3778 areG3184 notG3756 drunkenG3184, asG5613 yeG4771 supposeG5274, seeing it isG1510 but theG5610 thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the dayG3588G2250. 16ButG235 thisG3778 isG1510 thatG3588 which was spokenG2046 byG1223 the prophetG3588G4396 JoelG2493; 17AndG2532 it shall come to passG1510 inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250, saithG3004 GodG3588G2316, I will pour outG1632 ofG575 myG1473 SpiritG3588G4151 uponG1909 allG3956 fleshG4561: andG2532 yourG4771 sonsG3588G5207 andG2532 yourG4771 daughtersG3588G2364 shall prophesyG4395, andG2532 yourG4771 young menG3588G3495 shall seeG3708 visionsG3706, andG2532 yourG4771 old menG4245 shall dreamG1797 dreamsG1798: 18AndG2532 onG1909 myG1473 servantsG3588G1401 andG2532 onG1909 myG1473 handmaidensG3588G1399 I will pour outG1632 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG3588G2250 ofG575 myG1473 SpiritG3588G4151; andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395: 19AndG2532 I will shewG1325 wondersG5059 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772 aboveG507, andG2532 signsG4592 inG1909 the earthG3588G1093 beneathG2736; bloodG129, andG2532 fireG4442, andG2532 vapourG822 of smokeG2586: 20The sunG3588G2246 shall be turnedG3344 intoG1519 darknessG4655, andG2532 the moonG3588G4582 intoG1519 bloodG129, before thatG4250 greatG3173 andG2532 notableG2016 dayG3588G2250 of the LordG2962 comeG2064: 21AndG2532 it shall come to passG1510, that whosoeverG302 shall call onG1941 the nameG3588G3686 of the LordG2962 shall be savedG4982. 22Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, hearG191 theseG3778 wordsG3588G3056; JesusG2424 of NazarethG3588G3480, a manG435 approvedG584 ofG575 GodG3588G2316 amongG1519 youG4771 byG584 miraclesG1411 andG2532 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592, whichG3739 GodG3588G2316 didG4160 byG1223 himG846 inG1722 the midstG3319 of youG4771, asG2531 ye yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 knowG1492: 23HimG3778, being deliveredG1560 by theG1012 determinateG3724 counselG1012 andG2532 foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG3588G2316, ye have takenG2983, and byG1223 wickedG459 handsG5495 have crucifiedG4362 and slainG337: 24WhomG3739 GodG3588G2316 hath raised upG450, having loosedG3089 the painsG3588G5604 of deathG3588G2288: becauseG2530 it wasG1510 notG3756 possibleG1415 thatG2902 heG846 should be holdenG2902 ofG5259 itG846. 25ForG1063 DavidG1138 speakethG3004 concerningG1519 himG846, I foresawG4308 the LordG3588G2962 alwaysG3956 beforeG1799 my faceG1473, forG3754 he isG1510 onG1537 myG1473 right handG1188, thatG2443 I shouldG4531 notG3361 be movedG4531: 26ThereforeG1223 didG2165 myG1473 heartG3588G2588 rejoiceG2165, andG2532 myG1473 tongueG3588G1100 was gladG21; moreoverG2089 alsoG1161 myG1473 fleshG3588G4561 shall restG2681 inG1909 hopeG1680: 27BecauseG3754 thou wiltG1459 notG3756 leaveG1459 myG1473 soulG3588G5590 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 wilt thou sufferG1325 thineG4771 Holy OneG3741 to seeG3708 corruptionG1312. 28Thou hast made knownG1107 to meG1473 the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; thou shalt makeG4137 meG1473 fullG4137 of joyG2167 withG3326 thyG4771 countenanceG3588G4383. 29MenG435 and brethrenG80, letG1832 meG3004 freelyG3954 speakG3004 untoG4314 youG4771 ofG4012 the patriarchG3588G3966 DavidG1138, thatG3754 he isG5053 bothG2532 deadG5053 andG2532 buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 sepulchreG3588G3418 isG1510 withG1722 usG1473 untoG891 thisG3778 dayG3588G2250. 30ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, thatG3660 ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3588G3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG3588G5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG3588G2362; 31He seeing thisG4308 before spakeG2980 ofG4012 the resurrectionG3588G386 of ChristG3588G5547, thatG3754 hisG846 soulG3588G5590 wasG2641 notG3756 leftG2641 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 hisG846 fleshG3588G4561 did seeG3708 corruptionG1312. 32ThisG3778 JesusG3588G2424 hathG450 GodG3588G2316 raised upG450, whereofG3739 weG1473 allG3956 areG1510 witnessesG3144. 33ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG3588G2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3588G3962 the promiseG1860 of theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG3778, whichG3739 yeG4771 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191. 34ForG1063 DavidG1138 isG305 notG3756 ascendedG305 intoG1519 the heavensG3588G3772: butG1161 he saithG3004 himselfG846, The LordG3588G2962 saidG3004 untoG3588G2962 myG1473 LordG3588G2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG1473 right handG1188, 35UntilG2193 I makeG5087 thyG4771 foesG2190 thyG4771 footstoolG5286. 36ThereforeG3767 letG1097 allG3956 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 assuredlyG806, thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 hath madeG4160 thatG3778 sameG846 JesusG3588G2424, whomG3739 yeG4771 have crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547. 37
Now whenG1161 they heardG191 this, they were prickedG2660 in their heartG3588G2588, andG5037 saidG3004 untoG4314 PeterG3588G4074 andG2532 to the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, MenG435 and brethrenG80, whatG5101 shall we doG4160? 38ThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, RepentG3340, andG2532 be baptizedG907 every oneG1538 of youG4771 inG1909 the nameG3588G3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 ye shall receiveG2983 the giftG3588G1431 of theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151. 39ForG1063 the promiseG3588G1860 isG1510 unto youG4771, andG2532 toG3588G5043 yourG4771 childrenG3588G5043, andG2532 to allG3956 thatG3588 areG1519 afar offG3117, even as many asG3745 the LordG2962 ourG1473 GodG3588G2316 shall callG4341. 40AndG5037 withG3056 manyG4119 otherG2087 wordsG3056 did he testifyG1263 andG2532 exhortG3870, sayingG3004, Save yourselvesG4982 fromG575 thisG3778 untowardG4646 generationG3588G1074. 41
ThenG3767 theyG907 thatG588 gladlyG780 receivedG588 hisG846 wordG3588G3056 were baptizedG907: andG2532 the sameG1565 dayG3588G2250 there were addedG4369 unto them aboutG5616 three thousandG5153 soulsG5590. 42AndG1161 they continued stedfastlyG4342 inG3588G1322 the apostles’G3588G652 doctrineG3588G1322 andG2532 fellowshipG3588G2842, andG2532 in breakingG3588G2800 of breadG3588G740, andG2532 in prayersG3588G4335. 43AndG1161 fearG5401 came uponG1096 everyG3956 soulG5590: andG5037 manyG4183 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 were doneG1096 byG1223 the apostlesG3588G652. 44AndG1161 allG3956 that believedG4100 wereG1510 togetherG1909, andG2532 hadG2192 all thingsG537 commonG2839; 45AndG2532 sold theirG4097 possessionsG3588G2933 andG2532 goodsG3588G5223, andG2532 partedG1266 themG846 to allG3956 men, asG2530 everyG302 manG5100 hadG2192 needG5532. 46AndG5037 they, continuingG4342 dailyG2596G2250 with one accordG3661 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, andG5037 breakingG2806 breadG740 fromG2596 house to houseG3624, did eat theirG3335 meatG5160 withG1722 gladnessG20 andG2532 singlenessG858 of heartG2588, 47PraisingG134 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 havingG2192 favourG5485 withG4314 allG3650 the peopleG3588G2992. AndG1161 the LordG2962 addedG4369 to the AssemblyG3588G1577 dailyG2250 suchG3588 asG2596 should be savedG4982.
