使徒行传 2
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
五旬节圣灵降临
2 到了五旬节那天，他们都聚集[a]在一起[b]。 2 突然，有响声从天上下来，好像狂风吹过，充满了他们所坐的整个房子， 3 有舌头像火焰那样，向他们显现，分开留[c]在他们每一个人身上。 4 于是他们都被圣灵充满，就照着圣灵赐给他们的话，开始说出别种语言[d]。
5 当时，有从天下各国来的虔诚的犹太人，住在耶路撒冷。 6 这声音一响，有一群人就聚集而来，非常慌乱，因为各个人都听见使徒们[e]用各个人本地的语言说话。 7 他们又惊讶又诧异，说[f]：“看，这些说话的不都是加利利人吗？ 8 我们怎么会听到我们各自出生地的语言呢？ 9 我们当中有帕提亚人、米底亚人、埃拦人；也有住在美索不达米亚、犹太和卡帕多细亚、本都和亚细亚、 10 弗里吉亚和潘菲利亚、埃及和靠近古利奈的利比亚地区的人；还有从罗马来的旅客， 11 包括犹太人和入犹太教的人；克里特人和阿拉伯人。我们都听见他们用我们的语言述说神伟大的作为！” 12 众人又惊讶又困惑，彼此问：“这是什么意思呢？” 13 可是另有些人嘲笑说：“他们被新酒灌醉了！”
彼得讲道
14 这时，彼得和其他十一个使徒一同站起来，高声对众人说：“各位犹太人和所有住在耶路撒冷的人哪，你们应当知道这件事，也应当仔细听我的话， 15 因为这些人不是像你们所想的那样喝醉了，要知道，现在不过是早上九点[g]。 16 其实这是先知约珥所说的：
17 ‘神说，在末后的那些日子里将是这样：
我要把我的灵倾注在所有人身[h]上，
你们的儿女要说预言[i]，
你们的年轻人要见异象，
你们的老年人要做异梦。
18 是的，在那些日子里，
我也要将我的灵倾注
在我的奴仆和婢女们身上，
他们就要说预言。
19 在天上我要显奇事；
在地上我要行神迹——
有血、有火、有烟雾。
20 在主那大而显赫的日子来到之前，
太阳要变为黑暗，
月亮要变为血。
21 那时候，无论谁求告主名，都将得救。’[j]
22 “各位以色列人哪，请听这些话：拿撒勒人耶稣是神向你们所证实的人；神藉着他在你们中间行了大能、神迹和奇事，正如你们自己所知道的。 23 这一位照着神设定的计划和先见被交出去；你们就藉着外邦人的手[k]，把他钉上十字架杀了。 24 神却解除了死亡的痛苦，使他复活，因为他本来就不能被死亡辖制。 25 事实上，大卫指着他说：
‘我常常看见主在我面前；
因他在我的右边，
我就不至于摇动。
26 为此我内心欢喜，
口舌快乐，
并且我的肉身也要安居在盼望中。
27 因为你不会把我的灵魂撇弃在阴间，
也不会让你的圣者经历腐朽。
28 你让我明白了生命之道[l]，
使我在你面前充满喜乐。’[m]
29 “各位兄弟，关于先祖大卫，我可以明确地告诉你们：他不但死了，也被埋葬了，而且他的坟墓到今天还在我们这里。 30 既然大卫是先知，也知道神曾向他起誓说，要从他的后裔中兴起一位[n]坐在他的宝座上， 31 大卫又预先看见了，就讲论基督复活的事，说：
32 “这位耶稣，神已经使他复活了。我们都是这事的见证人。 33 他被高举在神的右边，从父领受了所应许的圣灵，就将圣灵倾注了下来。这正是你们现在所看见所听见的。 34 大卫并没有升到诸天之上去，可是他说，
‘主对我主说：
你坐在我的右边，
35 等我把你的敌人放在你的脚下做脚凳。’[q]
36 “因此，以色列全家都当确实知道：被你们钉上十字架的这位耶稣，神已经委任他为主、为基督了。”
奉主的名得赦免
37 众人听了这话，觉得扎心，就对彼得和其他的使徒说：“各位兄弟，我们该做什么呢？”
38 彼得对他们说：“你们应当悔改，每个人都当奉耶稣基督的名受洗[r]，使你们的罪得赦免，就会领受所赐的圣灵。 39 因为这应许是给你们和你们的儿女，以及所有在远处的人，就是主我们的神所召来的人。” 40 彼得还说许多别的话郑重地做见证，又劝告他们说：“你们从这扭曲的[s]世代中得救吧！”
信徒们共同生活
41 于是[t]领受他话的人就受了洗；那一天大约增加了三千人[u]。 42 他们在使徒们的教导上，在契合[v]、掰饼、祷告之事上恒切专心。
43 每个人[w]都起了敬畏之心。使徒们又行了很多奇事和神迹[x]。 44 所有信了的人都在一起，凡物共有， 45 他们变卖财产和产业，按照各人的需要分给大家。 46 他们同心合意，不但天天恒切地在圣殿聚集[y]，还在各家各户掰饼。他们怀着喜乐和诚恳的心用饭， 47 赞美神，并且得到全体民众的喜爱。主就在那里[z]使得救的人与日俱增[aa]。

Acts 2
New King James Version
Coming of the Holy Spirit
2 When (A)the Day of Pentecost had fully come, (B)they were all [a]with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and (C)it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them [b]divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And (D)they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began (E)to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The Crowd’s Response
5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, (F)devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the (G)multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak (H)Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own [c]language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and (I)Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and [d]Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” 12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”
13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”
Peter’s Sermon(J)
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, (K)since it is only [e]the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘And(L) it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
(M)That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and (N)your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
(O)And they shall prophesy.
19 (P)I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 (Q)The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
21 And it shall come to pass
That (R)whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.’
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you (S)by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— 23 Him, (T)being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, (U)you [f]have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 (V)whom God raised up, having [g]loosed the [h]pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him:
(W)‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see (X)corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’
29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you (Y)of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, (Z)and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, [i]according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, (AA)that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 (AB)This Jesus God has raised up, (AC)of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore (AD)being exalted [j]to (AE)the right hand of God, and (AF)having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He (AG)poured out this which you now see and hear.
34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
(AH)‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’
36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37 Now when they heard this, (AI)they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
38 Then Peter said to them, (AJ)“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the [k]remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and (AK)to your children, and (AL)to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
A Vital Church Grows
40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this [l]perverse generation.” 41 Then those who [m]gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 42 (AM)And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ [n]doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and (AN)many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and (AO)had all things in common, 45 and [o]sold their possessions and goods, and (AP)divided[p] them among all, as anyone had need.
46 (AQ)So continuing daily with one accord (AR)in the temple, and (AS)breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And (AT)the Lord added [q]to the church daily those who were being saved.
