- When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
- Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
- They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
- All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
- Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
|
- When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
- Utterly amazed, they asked: "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?
- Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language?
- Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
- Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome
|
- (both Jews and converts to Judaism Cretans and Arabs--we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!"
- Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?"
- Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine."
- Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say.
- These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning!
|
- No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
- " 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
- Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
- I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
- The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
|
- And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'
- "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.
- This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
- But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
- David said about him: " 'I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
|
- Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope,
- because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
- You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.'
- "Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.
- But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.
|
- Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay.
- God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact.
- Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
- For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, " 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand
- until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." '
|
- "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
