¹ When the fiftieth day was come, they were all with one accord gathered together in one place. ² And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as it had been the coming of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they sat. ³ And there appeared unto them cloven tongues, like as they had been fire, and it sat upon each of them: ⁴ and they were all filled with the holy ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, even as the spirit gave them utterance. ⁵ And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, which were of all nations under heaven. ⁶ When this was noised about, the multitude came together and were astonished, because that every man heard them speak his own tongue. ⁷ They wondered all, and marveled: saying among themselves, "Behold, are not all these which speak of Galilee? ⁸ And how hear we every man his own tongue wherein we were born? ⁹ Parthians, Medes, and Elamites and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia, of Jewry and of Cappadocia, of Pontus and of Asia; ¹⁰ Phrigia, Pamphylia, and of Egypt, and of the parts of Libya, which is beside Cyrene; And strangers of Rome; ¹¹ Jews and converts, Greeks and Arabians: We have heard them speak with our own tongues the great works of God." ¹² They were all amazed, and wondered: saying one to another, "What meaneth this?" ¹³ Others mocked them saying, "They are full of new wine." ¹⁴ But Peter stepped forth with the eleven, and lift up his voice, and said unto them, "Ye men of Jewry, and all ye that inhabit Jerusalem: be this known unto you, and with your ears hear my words. ¹⁵ These are not drunken, as ye suppose — For it is yet but the third hour of the day - ¹⁶ but this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel, ¹⁷ 'It shall be in the last days, saith God, of my spirit I will pour out 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 on my servants, and on my handmaidens I will pour out of my spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. ¹⁹ And I will show wonders in heaven above, and tokens in the earth beneath, blood and fire, and the vapour of smoke. ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great, and notable day of the Lord come.' ²¹ And it shall be that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. ²² "Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you with miracles and wonders, and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know: ²³ him have ye taken by the hands of unrighteous persons, after he was delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, and have crucified and slain him whom God hath raised up: ²⁴ and loosed the sorrows of death, because it was impossible that he should be holden of it. ²⁵ For David speaketh of him, 'Aforehand, saw I God always before me: For he is on my righthand, that I should not be moved. ²⁶ Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad. Moreover also, my flesh shall rest in hope ²⁷ because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt suffer thine holy to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou hast showed me the ways of life; and shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.' ²⁹ "Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David: For he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre remaineth with us unto his day. ³⁰ Therefore seeing he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him, that the fruit of his loins should sit on his seat — in that Christ should rise again in the flesh - ³¹ He saw before, and spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul should not be left in hell: neither his flesh should see corruption. ³² This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. ³³ Since now that he by the righthand of God exalted is, and hath received of the father the promise of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth that which ye now see and hear. ³⁴ For David is not ascended into heaven, but he said, ³⁵ 'The Lord said to my Lord sit on my right hand, until I make thy foes, thy footstool.' ³⁶ So therefore let all the house of Israel know for a surety, that God hath made the same Jesus whom ye have crucified, Lord and Christ." ³⁷ When they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter, and unto the other apostles, "Ye men and brethren, what shall we do?" ³⁸ Peter said unto them, "Repent, and be baptised every one of of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy ghost. ³⁹ "For the promise was made unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar, even as many as the Lord God shall call." ⁴⁰ And with many other words bare he witness, and exhorted them saying, "Save yourselves from this untoward generation." ⁴¹ Then they that gladly received his preaching were baptised; And the same day, there were added unto them about a three thousand souls. ⁴² And they continued in the Apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayer. ⁴³ And fear came over every soul. And many wonders and signs were showed by the apostles. ⁴⁴ And all that believed kept themselves together, and had all things common. ⁴⁵ And sold their possessions and goods, and departed them to all men, as every man had need. ⁴⁶ And they continued daily with one accord in the temple, and brake bread in every house, and did eat their meat together with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, ⁴⁷ and had favour with all the people, and the Lord added to the congregation daily such as should be saved.

³⁹ Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

² For he that speaketh with tongues speaketh not unto men, but unto God. For no man heareth him: Howbeit, in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

¹ Labour for love, and covet spiritual gifts: and most chiefly for to prophesy. ² For he that speaketh with tongues speaketh not unto men, but unto God. For no man heareth him: Howbeit, in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. ³ But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men, to edifying, to exhortation, and to comfort. ⁴ He that speaketh with tongues, profiteth himself: he that prophesieth, edifieth the congregation. ⁵ I would that ye all spake with tongues: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he expound it also, that the congregation may have edifying. ⁶ Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues: what shall I profit you? Except I speak to you, either by revelation, or knowledge, or prophesying, or doctrine. ⁷ Moreover when things without life give sound: whether it be a pipe, or a harp — except they make a distinction in the sounds — how shall it be known what is piped or harped? ⁸ And also if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself to fight? ⁹ Even so, likewise, when ye speak with tongues, except ye speak words that have signification, how shall it be understood what is spoken? For ye shall but speak in the air. ¹⁰ Many kinds of voices are in the world, and none of them are without signification. ¹¹ If I know not what the voice meaneth, I shall be unto him that speaketh an alien: and he that speaketh shall be an alien unto me. ¹² Even so ye — forasmuch as ye covet spiritual gifts — seek that ye may have plenty unto the edifying of the congregation. ¹³ Wherefore, let him that speaketh with tongues, pray: that he may interpret also. ¹⁴ If I pray with tongues, my spirit prayeth: but my mind is without fruit. ¹⁵ What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and will pray with the mind also. I will sing with the spirit, and will sing with the mind also. ¹⁶ For else when thou blessest with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say "amen" at thy giving of thanks? Seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? ¹⁷ Thou verily givest thanks well: but the other is not edified. ¹⁸ I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all. ¹⁹ Yet had I rather, in the congregation, to speak five words with my mind to the information of others, rather than ten thousand words with the tongue. ²⁰ Brethren, be not children in wit. Howbeit, as concerning maliciousness be children: but in wit be perfect. ²¹ In the law it is written, "With other tongues, and with other lips will I speak unto this people, and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord." ²² Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe: but to them that believe not. Contrariwise, prophesying serveth not for them that believe not: but for them which believe. ²³ If therefore when all the congregation is come together, and all speak with tongues, there come in they that are unlearned, or they which believe not: will they not say that ye are out of your wits? ²⁴ But and if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is rebuked of all men, and is judged of every man; ²⁵ and so are the secrets of his heart opened: and so falleth he down on his face, and worshippeth God, and saith that God is with you indeed. ²⁶ How is it then brethren? When ye come together, every man hath his song, hath his doctrine, hath his tongue, hath his revelation, hath his interpretation: Let all things be done unto edifying. ²⁷ If any man speak with tongues, let it be two at once — or at the most three at once — and that by course, and let another interpret it: ²⁸ But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the congregation, and let him speak to himself, and to God. ²⁹ Let the prophets speak two at once, or three at once, and let others judge. ³⁰ If any revelation be made to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. ³¹ For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may have comfort. ³² For the spirits of the prophets are in the power of the prophets. ³³ For God is not causer of strife: but of peace, as he is in all other congregations of the saints. ³⁴ Let your wives keep silence in the congregations. For it is not permitted unto them to speak: but let them be under obedience, as saith the law. ³⁵ If they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for women to speak in the congregation. ³⁶ Sprang the word of God from you? Either came it unto you only? ³⁷ If any man think himself a prophet, either spiritual: let him understand what things I write unto you. For they are the commandments of the Lord. ³⁸ But and if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. ³⁹ Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. ⁴⁰ And let all things be done honestly and in order.
