海を渡る
14 神はモーセに告げました。 2 「引き返して、ミグドルと海との間、バアル・ツェフォンに面したピ・ハヒロテに向かいなさい。そこの岸辺にテントを張るのだ。 3 ファラオはきっと、『イスラエル人どもは砂漠と海の間で立ち往生しているに違いない』と考えるだろう。 4 そして、またも意地になって、あとを追いかけて来る。すべてわたしの思うつぼだ。ファラオとその軍隊に、はっきりとわたしの力と栄光を見せよう。エジプト人も今度こそ、わたしが主であることを認めるようになる。」
イスラエル人はそのとおりにしました。
5 三日たってもイスラエル人がエジプトへは戻ろうとせず、そのまま逃げ出すつもりらしいという知らせが届くと、王と家臣たちはまた気が変わりました。「あの奴隷どもをみな逃がすとは、なんと愚かなことをしてしまったのだ。」 6 このまま放ってはおけないと、ファラオは戦車に跳び乗り、先頭に立って追跡の指揮をとりました。 7 あとにはエジプト戦車隊の精鋭六百と将校の戦車が続きます。 8 こうして追跡が始まりました。みすみすエジプトの富を持って行かせるのは、何としても許せません。 9 馬、戦車、騎手、歩兵と、王の全機動部隊が追跡作戦に駆り出されました。エジプト軍は、バアル・ツェフォンの手前、ピ・ハヒロテの岸辺に野営していたイスラエル人に追いつきました。
10 イスラエル人が見ていると、はるかかなたからエジプト軍がやって来ます。彼らはだんだんスピードを増して近づいて来るのです。人々はすっかり震え上がり、主に助けを求めました。 11 そして、ついにはモーセに泣きごとを言うのでした。「エジプトには墓が足りないので、こんな砂漠まで連れ出して死なせようというのですか。これでは、何のためにエジプトから逃げ出したかわかりません。 12 そもそも初めからおかしいと思ったのです。だからあの時も、このまま放っておいてくれと言ったのに。こんな荒野で死ぬくらいなら、エジプトで奴隷になっていたほうがまだましです。」
13 しかし、モーセは言いました。「みんな、怖がってはいけない。今いる場所にしっかり腰をすえて、今日、主がすばらしい方法で救ってくださるのを、よく見ようではないか。あのエジプト人を見るのも、今日が最後だ。 14 主が代わりに戦ってくださる。だから、みんなは指一本、動かす必要もない。」
15 主はモーセに命じました。「いつまでもわたしに叫び求めないで、人々を前進させなさい。 16 杖を海（紅海）の上に差し伸べると、水が分かれて道ができる。その乾いた土の上を歩いて海を渡りなさい。 17 わたしはエジプト人の心をかたくなにさせ、彼らにあなたがたのあとを追わせる。だがその時、ファラオとその全軍勢、戦車や騎手たちをわたしは滅ぼす。そしてわたしの栄光を現す。 18 全エジプトは、わたしが主であることを知る。」
19 その時、いつも人々の前を進んでいた神の使いがうしろに移ったので、雲の柱も、 20 ちょうどイスラエル人とエジプト軍の間に立ちふさがるように、うしろに移りました。突然、真っ黒な雲が垂れ込めました。あたりは夜のように暗くなり、エジプト人にはイスラエル人が見えなくなってしまったのです。
21 モーセが杖を海に差し伸べると、主は海の真ん中に道を作りました。両側には水の壁がそそり立ち、強い東風が一晩中吹きつけて、海の底に乾いた地が現れたのです。 22 イスラエル人は、その乾いた道を進みました。
23 エジプト軍もあとを追ってどっと海の中の道へなだれ込みました。ファラオの馬、戦車、騎手など全部です。 24 明け方になって、主は火と雲の柱の間からエジプトの軍勢をごらんになり、彼らを攪乱しました。 25 車輪がはずれて、戦車は海の真ん中で、動きが取れなくなってしまったのです。「逃げろ！ ぐずぐずするなっ。とてもかなわない。やつらには主がついている！」あちこちから叫び声が上がります。
26 主はイスラエル人がみな無事に渡り終えたのを確かめると、モーセに言いました。「もう一度、手を海の上に差し伸べなさい。そうすれば水が戻って、エジプト軍の戦車と騎手に覆いかぶさるだろう。」 27 モーセはそのとおりにしました。たちまち水の壁はくずれ、海は元どおりになりました。何事もなかったように、朝日を受けて波がきらきら輝いています。エジプト軍は迫る水から逃げようとしましたが、海の中に引きずりこまれました。 28 ついさっきまで道だった所も、エジプト軍の戦車も騎手も、みな海の底に沈みました。あとを追って海に入ったエジプト軍の中でいのちが助かった者は、一人もいませんでした。
29 イスラエル人は、両側に水の壁がそそり立つ中を歩いて、海の中の乾いた地を渡ったのです。 30 こうして主はその日、イスラエル人をエジプト軍の手から救い出されました。イスラエル人は岸に流れついたエジプト人の死体を見ました。 31 主はなんという大きな奇跡を起こして助けてくださったのでしょう。人々はあまりに大きな主の力を見て、主を恐れ、主とそのしもべモーセとを信じました。
勝利の歌
15 その時、モーセとイスラエル人は主をたたえる歌をうたいました。
「主の勝利をたたえ、心から喜び歌おう。主は馬も人も、海に投げ込んだ。
2 主は私の力、私の歌、私の救いだ。私は、私の神、主をたたえよう。先祖の神、主をあがめよう。
3 主は兵士。まことに主と呼ぶにふさわしい。
4 主はエジプト王の戦車と軍勢を滅ぼした。えり抜きの将校たちもおぼれ死んだ。
5 水にのまれ、石のように海の底へ沈んだ。
6 おお、主の右の手は力と栄光に満ち、敵を粉みじんに打ち砕く。
7 その輝かしい御力によって、主は立ち向かう敵をすべて滅ぼした。主の怒りの火は激しく、彼らはわらのように燃え尽きた。
8 主が息を吹きかけると、水は真っ二つに分かれた！ 水は壁となってそそり立ち、海を二つに分けた。
9 敵は言った。『あとを追え。彼らを滅ぼせ。剣のえじきにし、戦利品を分け合おう。』
10 だが、それもつかの間、風が巻き上がり、海が彼らをのみ込んだ。彼らは大海に沈んだ、まるで鉛のように。
11 主のような神がほかにいるだろうか。主のようにすばらしく、聖なる方がほかにいるだろうか。奇跡を行われる主のようにたたえられ、恐れられる神がほかにいるだろうか。
12 主が手を伸ばすと、大地は彼らをのみ込んだ。
13 自ら買い取った国民を、主は導いてくださった。聖なる地に優しく導いてくださった。
14 国々はこの話を聞いておののく。ペリシテ人は恐れ、
15 エドムの王たちは驚きまどい、モアブの君たちは震え上がり、カナン人は恐怖のとりことなった。
16 だれもが驚き恐れた。主の大きな力を恐れ、敵もわれわれを襲わない。主が買い取った国民は、何の心配もなく外国人の間を通る。
17 主はその国民を導き、神の山に植えてくださる。畏れ多くも、主ご自身の地、われわれのために備えてくださった聖なる地に。
18 主は永遠に世界を治める。」
19 ファラオの馬と騎手と戦車が、海の中を進もうとした時、水の壁はくずれ、彼らの頭上に覆いかぶさったのです。しかしイスラエル人は、乾いた地を渡りました。
20 アロンの姉で女預言者のミリヤムが、タンバリンを手に、女たちの先頭に立って踊り始めました。
21 ミリヤムは歌いました。
「主の勝利をたたえ、心から喜び歌おう。
主は馬も人も海に投げ込んだ。」
マラの水
22 このあとモーセは人々を率いて、紅海からさらにシュルの荒野へ出ました。三日間、水のない日が続きました。 23 やっとマラに着きましたが、水はあるものの苦くてとても飲めません。それで、マラ〔「苦い」の意〕という名がついたのです。 24 人々はモーセに不平を言い立てました。「何とかしてくれ！ のどが渇いて死にそうだ。」
25 モーセは主に助けを求めました。すると、主は彼に一本の木を示し、それを水に投げ入れなさいと命じるのです。そのとおりにすると、水は甘くなりました。
このマラで、主はモーセを試みました。 26 「もしもあなたがわたしに従い、正しいことを行うなら、エジプト人を悩ませた病気であなたが苦しまなくてすむようにしよう。わたしはあなたを癒やす主である。」
27 こうして一行がエリムに着くと、そこには泉が十二と、なつめやしの木が七十本ありました。その泉のそばで、彼らは野営しました。
うずらとマナ
16 それから、彼らはエリムを発ち、エリムとシナイ山との間に広がるシンの荒野に向かいました。荒野に着いたのは、エジプトを出た翌月の十五日でした。 2 そこでも人々は、モーセとアロンを非難しました。 3 「ああ、エジプトにいればよかったのに。あのまま主の手にかかって死んだほうがまだましだった。あのころは、少なくとも食べ物はたっぷりあった。なのに、あなたたちはこんな荒野に私たちを連れ出し、ここでみんなを飢え死にさせようとしている。」
4 主はモーセに言いました。「天からパンを降らせよう。毎日みんな外へ出て、その日に必要なだけ集めなさい。これは、わたしの指示を守るかどうかを見るテストにもなる。 5 ただ、六日目だけは、ふだんの二倍集めさせなさい。」
6 モーセとアロンは、人々を全員呼び集めて言いました。「あなたがたをエジプトから救い出したのは主だったということが、今日の夕方にはわかる。 7-9 そして朝になったら、主のすばらしさをもっとよく知ることになるだろう。不平を言ったのを、主はちゃんと聞いておられたのだ。私たちに文句を言ったつもりだろうが、私たちは取るに足りない人間なのだ。けれども、主は夕方には肉を、朝にはパンを下さると約束なさった。さあ主の前へ出て、どうお答えになるか聞くがいい。」
10 そして、アロンが一同を呼び集めると、今まで人々を先導してきた雲の柱の間から、突然、主の栄光が荒野に輝きわたりました。 11-12 主はモーセに告げました。「みなの不平は確かに聞いた。わたしの返事はこうだ。『夕方には肉を、朝にはパンを満足のいくまで食べさせよう。これによって、わたしがあなたがたの神、主であることを知るようになる。』」
13 その夕方、おびただしい数のうずらが飛んで来て、宿営全体を覆いました。翌朝、テントの回りの砂漠に露が降り、 14 露が消えると、あとには霜のような薄くて小さなものが一面に残りました。 15 人々はそれを見て口々に、「いったいこれは何だ？」と言いました。そこで、モーセが説明しました。「これは主があなたがたに下さったパンです。 16 みんな、一人当たり一オメル（一オメルは二・三リットル）の割で、家族に必要なだけ集めなさい。」
17 人々は外へ出てそのパンのようなものを集めました。 18 集めたものを量ると、ちょうど一人当たり一オメルずつあって、みなに十分行き渡りました。たくさん集めた者も余らず、少ししか集めなかった者も足りなくならず、どの家族にもちょうど必要なだけありました。
19 「これを明日まで残しておいてはいけない。」モーセはきつく注意しました。
20 ところが中には言うことを聞かない者もいて、翌朝まで残しておいたところ、そのパンのようなものは朝になると、虫がついて悪臭を放ちました。モーセは指示を守らない者をしかりました。 21 こうして人々は毎朝、それぞれ家族の人数に応じて必要なだけ集めました。日が昇って日ざしがだんだん強くなると、それは溶けて消えてしまうのです。
22 六日目には、ふだんの二倍に当たる二オメル（四・六リットル）を集めました。どうして六日目だけ二倍なのか、指導者たちは不思議に思い、モーセにわけを尋ねました。 23 モーセは言いました。「主が、その翌日を休息の日と定められたからだ。その日は一日、主のことだけを考えて過ごし、日常の仕事はいっさい休まなければならない。だから、今日のうちに、明日の分まで調理しておきなさい。」 24 今度は、次の朝になっても、虫もつかず、悪臭もなく、少しも傷んでいません。 25 モーセは言いました。「今日は、昨日取っておいた分を食べなさい。主の安息日だから、今日は外に出ても何もない。 26 集められるのは六日間だけだ。七日目は安息日で、何も見つけることはできない。」
27 そう言われたにもかかわらず、ある者は安息日に食べ物を集めに出かけました。しかし、やはり何も見つかりませんでした。 28-29 主はあきれてモーセに告げました。「いつになったら、この民は言うことを聞くのか。六日目にいつもの二倍を与えるのは、二日分の量が十分あるようにということなのがわからないのか。七日は休息の日としてわたしが与えたのだから、テントの中にいて、食べ物を取りになど外へ出たりしないようにしなさい。」
30 そこで、人々は七日目には休むようになりました。
31 この食べ物はのちに、「マナ」〔「これはいったい何だろう」の意〕と呼ばれるようになりました。コエンドロ（エジプトやパレスチナ地域に自生する一年草）の種のように白く、平べったくて、はちみつ入りのパンのような味がしました。
32 モーセはさらに、主からの指示をみなに伝えました。「記念としてマナを一オメル取っておき、主がエジプト脱出の時、荒野でどういうパンを与えてくださったか、のちの時代の人たちが見られるようにするのです。」 33 モーセはアロンに、容器を持って来て一オメル分のマナを入れ、それを主の前の聖なる場所に納めて、何代も保存するよう命じました。 34 アロンはそのとおりにしました。すべて主が命じたとおりです。やがて、それは契約の箱に納められることになります。
35-36 こうしてイスラエル人は、その地の作物が取れるカナンの地に着くまで四十年間、ずっとマナを食べ続けました。
Exodus 14-16
New International Version
Exodus 14-16
New International Version
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol(A) and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon.(B) 3 Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ 4 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart,(C) and he will pursue them.(D) But I will gain glory(E) for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.”(F) So the Israelites did this.
5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled,(G) Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds(H) about them and said, “What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!” 6 So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him. 7 He took six hundred of the best chariots,(I) along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them. 8 The Lord hardened the heart(J) of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly.(K) 9 The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses(L) and chariots, horsemen[a] and troops(M)—pursued the Israelites and overtook(N) them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon.(O)
10 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried(P) out to the Lord. 11 They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die?(Q) What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”(R)
13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid.(S) Stand firm and you will see(T) the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see(U) again. 14 The Lord will fight(V) for you; you need only to be still.”(W)
15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me?(X) Tell the Israelites to move on. 16 Raise your staff(Y) and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water(Z) so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 17 I will harden the hearts(AA) of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them.(AB) And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. 18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord(AC) when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”
19 Then the angel of God,(AD) who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud(AE) also moved from in front and stood behind(AF) them, 20 coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness(AG) to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand(AH) over the sea,(AI) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind(AJ) and turned it into dry land.(AK) The waters were divided,(AL) 22 and the Israelites went through the sea(AM) on dry ground,(AN) with a wall(AO) of water on their right and on their left.
23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen(AP) followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud(AQ) at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.(AR) 25 He jammed[b] the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting(AS) for them against Egypt.”(AT)
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” 27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place.(AU) The Egyptians were fleeing toward[c] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.(AV) 28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.(AW) Not one of them survived.(AX)
29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,(AY) with a wall(AZ) of water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved(BA) Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore. 31 And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand(BB) of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared(BC) the Lord and put their trust(BD) in him and in Moses his servant.
The Song of Moses and Miriam
15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song(BE) to the Lord:
“I will sing(BF) to the Lord,
for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver(BG)
he has hurled into the sea.(BH)
2 “The Lord is my strength(BI) and my defense[d];
he has become my salvation.(BJ)
He is my God,(BK) and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt(BL) him.
3 The Lord is a warrior;(BM)
the Lord is his name.(BN)
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army(BO)
he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
are drowned in the Red Sea.[e]
5 The deep waters(BP) have covered them;
they sank to the depths like a stone.(BQ)
6 Your right hand,(BR) Lord,
was majestic in power.
Your right hand,(BS) Lord,
shattered(BT) the enemy.
7 “In the greatness of your majesty(BU)
you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;(BV)
it consumed(BW) them like stubble.
8 By the blast of your nostrils(BX)
the waters piled up.(BY)
The surging waters stood up like a wall;(BZ)
the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.(CA)
9 The enemy boasted,
‘I will pursue,(CB) I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;(CC)
I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
and my hand will destroy them.’
10 But you blew with your breath,(CD)
and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
in the mighty waters.(CE)
11 Who among the gods
is like you,(CF) Lord?
Who is like you—
majestic in holiness,(CG)
awesome in glory,(CH)
working wonders?(CI)
12 “You stretch out(CJ) your right hand,
and the earth swallows your enemies.(CK)
13 In your unfailing love you will lead(CL)
the people you have redeemed.(CM)
In your strength you will guide them
to your holy dwelling.(CN)
14 The nations will hear and tremble;(CO)
anguish(CP) will grip the people of Philistia.(CQ)
15 The chiefs(CR) of Edom(CS) will be terrified,
the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,(CT)
the people[f] of Canaan will melt(CU) away;
16 terror(CV) and dread will fall on them.
By the power of your arm
they will be as still as a stone(CW)—
until your people pass by, Lord,
until the people you bought[g](CX) pass by.(CY)
17 You will bring(CZ) them in and plant(DA) them
on the mountain(DB) of your inheritance—
the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling,(DC)
the sanctuary,(DD) Lord, your hands established.
18 “The Lord reigns
for ever and ever.”(DE)
19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen[h] went into the sea,(DF) the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.(DG) 20 Then Miriam(DH) the prophet,(DI) Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels(DJ) and dancing.(DK) 21 Miriam sang(DL) to them:
“Sing to the Lord,
for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver(DM)
he has hurled into the sea.”(DN)
The Waters of Marah and Elim
22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert(DO) of Shur.(DP) For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water.(DQ) 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.[i](DR)) 24 So the people grumbled(DS) against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”(DT)
25 Then Moses cried out(DU) to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw(DV) it into the water, and the water became fit to drink.
There the Lord issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test.(DW) 26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep(DX) all his decrees,(DY) I will not bring on you any of the diseases(DZ) I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals(EA) you.”
27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped(EB) there near the water.
Manna and Quail
16 The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin,(EC) which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had come out of Egypt.(ED) 2 In the desert the whole community grumbled(EE) against Moses and Aaron. 3 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt!(EF) There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food(EG) we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”(EH)
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven(EI) for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test(EJ) them and see whether they will follow my instructions. 5 On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice(EK) as much as they gather on the other days.”
6 So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “In the evening you will know that it was the Lord who brought you out of Egypt,(EL) 7 and in the morning you will see the glory(EM) of the Lord, because he has heard your grumbling(EN) against him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?”(EO) 8 Moses also said, “You will know that it was the Lord when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning, because he has heard your grumbling(EP) against him. Who are we? You are not grumbling against us, but against the Lord.”(EQ)
9 Then Moses told Aaron, “Say to the entire Israelite community, ‘Come before the Lord, for he has heard your grumbling.’”
10 While Aaron was speaking to the whole Israelite community, they looked toward the desert, and there was the glory(ER) of the Lord appearing in the cloud.(ES)
11 The Lord said to Moses, 12 “I have heard the grumbling(ET) of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’”(EU)
13 That evening quail(EV) came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew(EW) around the camp. 14 When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost(EX) on the ground appeared on the desert floor. 15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?” For they did not know(EY) what it was.
Moses said to them, “It is the bread(EZ) the Lord has given you to eat. 16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Everyone is to gather as much as they need. Take an omer[j](FA) for each person you have in your tent.’”
17 The Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little. 18 And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.(FB) Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed.
19 Then Moses said to them, “No one is to keep any of it until morning.”(FC)
20 However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell.(FD) So Moses was angry(FE) with them.
21 Each morning everyone gathered as much as they needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away. 22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice(FF) as much—two omers[k] for each person—and the leaders of the community(FG) came and reported this to Moses. 23 He said to them, “This is what the Lord commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of sabbath rest, a holy sabbath(FH) to the Lord. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.’”
24 So they saved it until morning, as Moses commanded, and it did not stink or get maggots in it. 25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a sabbath to the Lord. You will not find any of it on the ground today. 26 Six days you are to gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath,(FI) there will not be any.”
27 Nevertheless, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather it, but they found none. 28 Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you[l] refuse to keep my commands(FJ) and my instructions? 29 Bear in mind that the Lord has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where they are on the seventh day; no one is to go out.” 30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 The people of Israel called the bread manna.[m](FK) It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. 32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Take an omer of manna and keep it for the generations to come, so they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of Egypt.’”
33 So Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar and put an omer of manna(FL) in it. Then place it before the Lord to be kept for the generations to come.”
34 As the Lord commanded Moses, Aaron put the manna with the tablets of the covenant law,(FM) so that it might be preserved. 35 The Israelites ate manna(FN) forty years,(FO) until they came to a land that was settled; they ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.(FP)

Exodus 14-16
King James Version
14 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord.
11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31 And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses.
15 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
18 The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.
19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.
27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
16 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
4 Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord; for that he heareth your murmurings against the Lord: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord.
9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmurings.
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.
13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.
16 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
23 And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the Lord: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
28 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.
34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

約束の聖霊が下る
2 さて、イエスの死と復活から、七週間が過ぎました。五旬節（ユダヤ教の祭りの一つ）の日のことです。信者たちが一堂に集まっていると、 2 突然、天からものすごい音がしました。まるで、激しい風が吹きつけるような音です。それが、家全体にごうごうと響き渡ったのです。 3 そして、めらめら燃える炎の舌のようなものが現れ、みなの頭上にとどまりました。 4 するとどうでしょう。その場にいた人たちは、みな聖霊に満たされ、知りもしない外国語で話し始めたではありませんか。聖霊が、それだけの力を与えてくださったのです。
5 その日エルサレムには、たくさんの敬虔なユダヤ人が、祭りのために、世界のあちこちから集まっていました。 6 この大音響に、人々はいったい何事かと駆けつけましたが、弟子たちの話していることばを聞いて、すっかり面食らってしまいました。まぎれもなく自分たちの国のことばだったからです。
7 人々には、さっぱり訳がわかりません。ただ口々に、こう言い合うばかりでした。「こんなことってあるだろうか。みんなガリラヤ出身の人だというのに、 8 私たちの国のことばですらすら話している。 9 ここには、パルテヤ人、メジヤ人、エラム人、またメソポタミヤ、ユダヤ、カパドキヤ、ポント、アジヤ、 10 フルギヤ、パンフリヤ、エジプト、それにリビヤのクレネ語が使われている地方などから来た人たちがいるし、ほかにも、ローマからの旅行者で、もともとのユダヤ人もいれば、ユダヤ教への改宗者もいる。 11 それに、クレテ人やアラビヤ人もいる。それがどうだ。それぞれの出身地のことばで、神のすばらしい奇跡の話を聞くとは……。」
12 人々はただ呆然として、「いったい、どうなっているのだ」と顔を見合わせました。
13 しかし中には、「何、彼らは酔っぱらっているだけさ」と、あざける者たちもいました。
14 するとペテロが、十一人の使徒と共につかつかと進み出て、声を張り上げ、人々に語りかけました。「よそから来られた方も、エルサレムに住んでおられる皆さんも、どうぞお聞きください。 15 皆さんの中には、私たちが酒に酔っているのだとおっしゃる方もいますが、そんなことはありません。酒に酔うには時間が早すぎます。朝の九時から酒を飲む人はいないでしょう。 16 いま見ていることは、何世紀も前に、まさに預言者ヨエルが預言したことなのです。
17 『神は言われる。
終わりの日に、
わたしはすべての人にわたしの霊を注ぐ。
その時、あなたがたの息子、娘は預言し、
青年は幻を見、
老人は夢を見る。
18 聖霊は、男女を問わず、わたしに仕える者たちに
注がれる。
すると、彼らは預言をする。
19 また、わたしは天と地に不思議なしるしを現す。
血と火と煙の雲だ。
20 主の恐るべき日が来る前に、
太陽は暗くなり、月は血のように赤くなる。
21 しかし、主にあわれみを求める者はみな、
あわれみを受けて救われる。』（ヨエル2・28-32）
22 ああ、皆さん。これから申し上げることを聞いてください。よくご存じのように、ナザレのイエスは、あなたがたの前で、力ある奇跡を行われました。神様はそれによって、だれにもはっきりわかるように、イエス様の身元を保証なさったのです。 23 神様はあらかじめ計画したとおり、この方を、あなたがたの手でローマ政府に引き渡し、十字架で処刑することをお許しになりました。 24 そうした上で、この方を死の苦しみから解放し、復活させたのです。この方が、ずっと死んだままでいることなど、ありえないことだからです。
25 ダビデ王は、イエス様のことをこう言っています。
『主はいつも私と共におられる。
主が私を助け、
神の大きな力が私を支える。
26 だから、心は喜びにあふれ、
私の舌は主をほめたたえる。
たとい死んでも、私には望みがある。
27 あなたは、私のたましいを地獄に放置せず、
あなたの聖なる息子の体を、
朽ち果てさせることもない。
28 私を生き返らせ、
あなたの前で、すばらしい喜びにあふれさせる。』（詩篇16・8-11）
29 愛する皆さん。考えてください。ダビデはここで、自分のことを語っているわけではありません。そうでしょう。ダビデは死んで葬られ、その墓は今でも、ちゃんと残っているではありませんか。 30 しかし、彼は預言者でしたから、自分の子孫の一人がメシヤ（ヘブル語で、救い主）となり、ダビデの王座につくと神が誓われたことを知っていたのです。 31 それで、遠い将来を望み見ながら、メシヤの復活を預言しました。メシヤのたましいは地獄に放置されず、その体が朽ち果てることもない、と語ったのです。 32 そのとおり、神様はイエスを復活させました。私たちはみな、そのことの証人です。
33 いまイエス様は、天で最も栄誉ある神の右の座についておられます。そして、約束どおり、父なる神は聖霊を送ってくださいました。その結果、たった今、あなたがたが見聞きしたことが起こったのです。
34-35 ダビデは、決して自分のことを言ったのではありません。ダビデは天にのぼったことはないからです。それに、当のダビデがこうも言っています。
『神は私の主に言われた。
「わたしがあなたの敵を
完全に征服するまで、
わたしの右に座っていなさい。」』（詩篇110・1）
36 ですから、イスラエルのすべての人に、はっきり言っておきます。神様が主とし、キリスト（ギリシャ語で、救い主）とされたイエスを、あなたがたは十字架につけたのです。」
37 ペテロのことばは、人々の心を強く打ちました。「それでは、私たちはどうすればいいのでしょう。」あちらからもこちらからも、使徒たちへの質問の声があがりました。
38 ペテロは答えました。「一人一人、罪の生活から悔い改めて神に立ち返りなさい。そして、罪を赦していただくために、イエス・キリストの名によってバプテスマ（洗礼）を受けなさい。そうすれば、聖霊という賜物をいただけます。 39 それはキリストが約束してくださったことです。あなたがたは言うまでもなく、あなたがたの子孫、また遠くにいても、私たちの神である主がお招きになったすべての人に与えられるのです。」
40 このあとも、ペテロの説教はえんえんと続きました。イエスのことや、悪に満ちたこの時代から救われなければならないことを、ことばを尽くして訴えたのです。 41 この日、ペテロの言うことを信じた人はバプテスマを受けましたが、その数は全部で三千人ほどでした。 42 彼らは、使徒たちの教えをよく守り、聖餐式（パンと杯によりキリストの体と血の祝福にあずかる、キリスト教の礼典の一つ）や祈り会に加わっていました。
43 だれもが心から神を恐れ敬うようになり、また、使徒たちは次々と奇跡を行いました。 44 信者たちはみないっしょにいて、それぞれの持ち物を分け合い、 45 必要がある人には、財産を売り払って与えました。 46 毎日、神殿で礼拝をし、聖餐の時は、少人数に分かれてめいめいの家に集まり、心から喜びと感謝にあふれて食事を共にし、 47 心から神を賛美しました。彼らは町中の人に好感をもたれ、神も、救われる人を毎日、仲間に加えてくださいました。

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
2 When the day of Pentecost(A) came, they were all together(B) in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.(C) 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit(D) and began to speak in other tongues[a](E) as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing(F) Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed,(G) they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?(H) 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia,(I) Pontus(J) and Asia,[b](K) 10 Phrygia(L) and Pamphylia,(M) Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene;(N) visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”(O)
Peter Addresses the Crowd
14 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. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning!(P) 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 “‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.(Q)
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,(R)
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.(S)
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,(T)
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood(U)
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord(V) will be saved.’[c](W)
22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth(X) was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs,(Y) which God did among you through him,(Z) as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge;(AA) and you, with the help of wicked men,[d] put him to death by nailing him to the cross.(AB) 24 But God raised him from the dead,(AC) freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.(AD) 25 David said about him:
“‘I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
you will not let your holy one see decay.(AE)
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.’[e](AF)
29 “Fellow Israelites,(AG) I can tell you confidently that the patriarch(AH) David died and was buried,(AI) and his tomb is here(AJ) to this day. 30 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.(AK) 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay.(AL) 32 God has raised this Jesus to life,(AM) and we are all witnesses(AN) of it. 33 Exalted(AO) to the right hand of God,(AP) he has received from the Father(AQ) the promised Holy Spirit(AR) and has poured out(AS) what you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
35 until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”’[f](AT)
36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord(AU) and Messiah.”(AV)
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”(AW)
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized,(AX) every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.(AY) And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(AZ) 39 The promise is for you and your children(BA) and for all who are far off(BB)—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”(BC) 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number(BD) that day.
The Fellowship of the Believers
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching(BE) and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread(BF) and to prayer.(BG) 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.(BH) 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.(BI) 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.(BJ) 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.(BK) They broke bread(BL) in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.(BM) And the Lord added to their number(BN) daily those who were being saved.

Acts 2
King James Version
2 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 from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of 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, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, 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 on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, 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 by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, 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 thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one 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 is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
