Acts 2:1-28

ABU(i) 1 AND when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound out of heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed among them; and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And this being noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And all were amazed, and wondered, saying one to another Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans? 8 And how do we hear, every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born, 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God? 12 And all were amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another: What may this mean? 13 But others mocking said: They are filled with sweet wine. 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them: Men of Judaea, and all that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words. 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: 17 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, That I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams; 18 And even on my servants and on my handmaids, I will pour out of my Spirit in those days, And they shall prophesy. 19 And I will show wonders in heaven above, And signs in the earth beneath, Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the great and notable day of the Lord shall come. 21 And it shall be, that every one who shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 22 Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God wrought by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know; 23 this man, delivered up according to the established counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye slew, crucifying him by the hand of lawless ones; 24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death; because it was not possible that he should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning him: I saw the Lord always before me; Because he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. 26 For this my heart rejoiced, and my tongue exulted; Moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope; 27 Because thou wilt not abandon my soul to the underworld, Nor wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; Thou wilt make me full of joy with thy presence.
