ACV(i)
1 And while fulfilling the day of Pentecost, they were all together at the same place.
2 And suddenly there developed a sound from the sky as of a forceful wind moving, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared to them dividing tongues, as of fire, and they settled upon each one of them.
4 And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to declare.
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.
6 And the sound of this that happened brought the multitude together. And it was bewildered because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7 And they were amazed and marveled, saying to each other, Behold, are not all these men who speak Galileans?
8 And how do we each hear our own language in which we were born?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, and Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 and Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya along Cyrene, and those Roman aliens, including Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians. We hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.
12 And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, others saying to others, Whatever does this intend to be?
13 But others, mocking said, They are filled of wine.
14 But Peter having stood up with the eleven, raised his voice and spoke out to them, saying, Jewish men, and all who dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and listen to my sayings.
15 For these men are not drunken, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 And it will be in the last days, says God, I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your elders will dream dreams.
18 And also on my bondmen and on my bondmaids in those days I will pour out from my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and wonderful day of the Lord comes.
21 And it will be, that every man, whoever may call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
22 Men, Israelites, hear ye these words. Jesus the Nazarene, a man shown by God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know,
23 this man, having been designated (by the purpose and foreknowledge of God) a man delivered up, ye, having taken by lawless hands, killed, having crucified,
24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
25 For David speaks for him: I beheld the Lord always before me, because he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved.
26 Because of this my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad. And moreover my flesh will also rest in hope.
27 Because thou will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will thou give thy Holy man to see decay.
28 Thou made known to me the paths of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
