五旬節聖靈降臨
2 到了五旬節那天，他們都聚集[a]在一起[b]。 2 突然，有響聲從天上下來，好像狂風吹過，充滿了他們所坐的整個房子， 3 有舌頭像火焰那樣，向他們顯現，分開留[c]在他們每一個人身上。 4 於是他們都被聖靈充滿，就照著聖靈賜給他們的話，開始說出別種語言[d]。
5 當時，有從天下各國來的虔誠的猶太人，住在耶路撒冷。 6 這聲音一響，有一群人就聚集而來，非常慌亂，因為各個人都聽見使徒們[e]用各個人本地的語言說話。 7 他們又驚訝又詫異，說[f]：「看，這些說話的不都是加利利人嗎？ 8 我們怎麼會聽到我們各自出生地的語言呢？ 9 我們當中有帕提亞人、米底亞人、埃攔人；也有住在美索不達米亞、猶太和卡帕多細亞、本都和亞細亞、 10 弗里吉亞和潘菲利亞、埃及和靠近古利奈的利比亞地區的人；還有從羅馬來的旅客， 11 包括猶太人和入猶太教的人；克里特人和阿拉伯人。我們都聽見他們用我們的語言述說神偉大的作為！」 12 眾人又驚訝又困惑，彼此問：「這是什麼意思呢？」 13 可是另有些人嘲笑說：「他們被新酒灌醉了！」
彼得講道
14 這時，彼得和其他十一個使徒一同站起來，高聲對眾人說：「各位猶太人和所有住在耶路撒冷的人哪，你們應當知道這件事，也應當仔細聽我的話， 15 因為這些人不是像你們所想的那樣喝醉了，要知道，現在不過是早上九點[g]。 16 其實這是先知約珥所說的：
17 『神說，在末後的那些日子裡將是這樣：
我要把我的靈傾注在所有人身[h]上，
你們的兒女要說預言[i]，
你們的年輕人要見異象，
你們的老年人要做異夢。
18 是的，在那些日子裡，
我也要將我的靈傾注
在我的奴僕和婢女們身上，
他們就要說預言。
19 在天上我要顯奇事；
在地上我要行神蹟——
有血、有火、有煙霧。
20 在主那大而顯赫的日子來到之前，
太陽要變為黑暗，
月亮要變為血。
21 那時候，無論誰求告主名，都將得救。』[j]
22 「各位以色列人哪，請聽這些話：拿撒勒人耶穌是神向你們所證實的人；神藉著他在你們中間行了大能、神蹟和奇事，正如你們自己所知道的。 23 這一位照著神設定的計劃和先見被交出去；你們就藉著外邦人的手[k]，把他釘上十字架殺了。 24 神卻解除了死亡的痛苦，使他復活，因為他本來就不能被死亡轄制。 25 事實上，大衛指著他說：
『我常常看見主在我面前；
因他在我的右邊，
我就不至於搖動。
26 為此我內心歡喜，
口舌快樂，
並且我的肉身也要安居在盼望中。
27 因為你不會把我的靈魂撇棄在陰間，
也不會讓你的聖者經歷腐朽。
28 你讓我明白了生命之道[l]，
使我在你面前充滿喜樂。』[m]
29 「各位兄弟，關於先祖大衛，我可以明確地告訴你們：他不但死了，也被埋葬了，而且他的墳墓到今天還在我們這裡。 30 既然大衛是先知，也知道神曾向他起誓說，要從他的後裔中興起一位[n]坐在他的寶座上， 31 大衛又預先看見了，就講論基督復活的事，說：
32 「這位耶穌，神已經使他復活了。我們都是這事的見證人。 33 他被高舉在神的右邊，從父領受了所應許的聖靈，就將聖靈傾注了下來。這正是你們現在所看見所聽見的。 34 大衛並沒有升到諸天之上去，可是他說，
『主對我主說：
你坐在我的右邊，
35 等我把你的敵人放在你的腳下做腳凳。』[q]
36 「因此，以色列全家都當確實知道：被你們釘上十字架的這位耶穌，神已經委任他為主、為基督了。」
奉主的名得赦免
37 眾人聽了這話，覺得扎心，就對彼得和其他的使徒說：「各位兄弟，我們該做什麼呢？」
38 彼得對他們說：「你們應當悔改，每個人都當奉耶穌基督的名受洗[r]，使你們的罪得赦免，就會領受所賜的聖靈。 39 因為這應許是給你們和你們的兒女，以及所有在遠處的人，就是主我們的神所召來的人。」 40 彼得還說許多別的話鄭重地做見證，又勸告他們說：「你們從這扭曲的[s]世代中得救吧！」
信徒們共同生活
41 於是[t]領受他話的人就受了洗；那一天大約增加了三千人[u]。 42 他們在使徒們的教導上，在契合[v]、掰餅、禱告之事上恆切專心。
43 每個人[w]都起了敬畏之心。使徒們又行了很多奇事和神蹟[x]。 44 所有信了的人都在一起，凡物共有， 45 他們變賣財產和產業，按照各人的需要分給大家。 46 他們同心合意，不但天天恆切地在聖殿聚集[y]，還在各家各戶掰餅。他們懷著喜樂和誠懇的心用飯， 47 讚美神，並且得到全體民眾的喜愛。主就在那裡[z]使得救的人與日俱增[aa]。

五旬节圣灵降临
2 五旬节到了，他们都聚集在一起。 2 忽然有一阵好象强风吹过的响声，从天而来，充满了他们坐在里面的整间屋子。 3 又有火焰般的舌头显现出来，分别落在他们各人身上。 4 他们都被圣灵充满，就照着圣灵所赐给他们的口才，用别种语言说出话来。
5 那时住在耶路撒冷的，有从天下各国来的虔诚的犹太人。 6 这声音一响，许多人都聚了来，人人都听见门徒讲出听众各人本乡的话，就莫名其妙。 7 他们又惊讶、又惊奇，说：“你看，这些说话的，不都是加利利人吗？ 8 我们各人怎么听见他们讲我们从小所用的本乡话呢？ 9 我们帕提亚人、玛代人、以拦人和住在美索不达米亚、犹太、加帕多家、本都、亚西亚、 10 弗吕家、旁非利亚、埃及，并靠近古利奈的利比亚一带地方的人，客居罗马的犹太人和归信犹太教的人， 11 克里特人以及阿拉伯人，都听见他们用我们的语言，讲说 神的大作为。” 12 众人还在惊讶迷惘的时候，彼此说：“这是甚么意思？” 13 另有些人讥笑说：“他们是给新酒灌醉了。”
彼得在五旬节的讲道
14 彼得和十一使徒站起来，他高声对众人说：“犹太人和所有住在耶路撒冷的人哪，你们应当明白这件事，也应该留心听我的话。 15 这些人并不是照你们所想的喝醉了，现在不过是上午九点钟罢了。 16 这正是约珥先知所说的：
17 ‘ 神说：在末后的日子，
我要把我的灵浇灌所有的人，
你们的儿女要说预言，
你们的青年人要见异象，
你们的老年人要作异梦。
18 在那些日子，
我也要把我的灵浇灌我的仆人和使女，他们就要说预言。
19 我要在天上显出奇事，
在地上显出神迹，
有血、有火、有烟雾；
20 太阳将变为黑暗，
月亮将变为血红，
在主伟大显赫的日子临到以前，这一切都要发生。
21 那时，凡求告主名的，都必得救。’
22 “以色列人哪，请听听这几句话：正如你们所知道的， 神已经借着拿撒勒人耶稣在你们中间施行了大能、奇事、神迹，向你们证明他是 神所立的。 23 他照着 神的定旨和预知被交了出去，你们就藉不法之徒的手，把他钉死了。 24 神却把死的痛苦解除，使他复活了，因为他不能被死亡拘禁。 25 大卫指着他说：
‘我时常看见主在我面前，
因他在我右边，我必不会动摇。
26 为此我的心快乐，我的口舌欢呼，
我的肉身也要安居在盼望中。
27 因你必不把我的灵魂撇在阴间，
也必不容你的圣者见朽坏。
28 你已经把生命之路指示了我，
必使我在你面前有满足的喜乐。’
29 “弟兄们，关于祖先大卫的事，我不妨坦白告诉你们，他死了，葬了，直到今日他的坟墓还在我们这里。 30 他是先知，既然知道 神向他起过誓，要从他的后裔中立一位，坐在他的宝座上， 31 又预先看见了这事，就讲论基督的复活说：
‘他不会被撇在阴间，
他的肉身也不见朽坏。’
32 这位耶稣， 神已经使他复活了，我们都是这事的见证人。 33 他既然被高举到 神的右边，从父领受了所应许的圣灵，就把他浇灌下来，这就是你们所看见所听见的。 34 大卫并没有升到天上，他却说：
‘主对我主说：
你坐在我的右边，
35 等我使你的仇敌作你的脚凳。’
36 因此，以色列全家应当确实知道，你们钉在十字架上的这位耶稣， 神已经立他为主为基督了。”
37 他们听了以后，觉得扎心，就对彼得和其余的使徒说：“弟兄们，我们应当作甚么呢？” 38 彼得说：“你们应当悔改，并且每一个人都要奉耶稣基督的名受洗，使你们的罪得赦，就必领受圣灵，那白白的恩典。 39 这应许原是给你们和你们的儿女，以及所有在远方的人，就是给凡是我们主 神召来归他的人。” 40 彼得还用许多别的话，郑重作证，并且劝勉他们，说：“你们应当救自己脱离这弯曲的世代！” 41 于是接受他话的人都受了洗，那一天门徒增加了约三千人。 42 他们恒心遵守使徒的教训，彼此相通、擘饼和祈祷。
信徒的团契生活
43 使徒行了许多奇事神迹，众人就都惧怕。 44 所有信的人都在一起，凡物公用， 45 并且变卖产业和财物，按照各人的需要分给他们。 46 他们天天同心在殿里恒切地聚集，一家一家地擘饼，存着欢乐和诚恳的心用饭， 47 又赞美 神，并且得到全民的喜爱。主将得救的人，天天加给教会。

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.

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.
