Pentecost
2 When the day of Pentecost had arrived, they were all together in one place.(A) 2 Suddenly a sound like that of a violent rushing wind(B) came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were staying.(C) 3 They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and rested on each one of them. 4 Then they were all filled(D) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues,[a] as the Spirit enabled them.(E)
5 Now there were Jews staying in Jerusalem, devout people from every nation(F) under heaven. 6 When this sound occurred, a crowd came together and was confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 7 They were astounded and amazed, saying,[b] “Look, aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?(G) 8 How is it that each of us can hear them in our own native language? 9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites; those who live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,(H) 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts),(I) 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the magnificent acts of God in our own tongues.” 12 They were all astounded and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But some sneered and said, “They’re drunk on new wine.”(J)
Peter’s Sermon
14 Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them, “Fellow Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and pay attention to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it’s only nine in the morning.[c] 16 On the contrary, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 And it will be in the last days, says God,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all people;
then your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.(K)
18 I will even pour out my Spirit
on my servants in those days, both men and women
and they will prophesy.(L)
19 I will display wonders in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below:
blood and fire and a cloud of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood(M)
before the great and glorious day of the Lord(N) comes.
21 Then everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.[d](O)
22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to these words: This Jesus of Nazareth was a man attested to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did among you through him, just as you yourselves know.(P) 23 Though he was delivered up according to God’s determined plan and foreknowledge, you used[e] lawless people to nail him to a cross and kill him.(Q) 24 God raised him up, ending the pains of death,(R) because it was not possible for him to be held by death. 25 For David says of him:
I saw the Lord ever before me;
because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad
and my tongue rejoices.
Moreover, my flesh will rest in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me in Hades
or allow your holy one to see decay.(S)
28 You have revealed the paths of life to me;
you will fill me with gladness
in your presence.[f](T)
29 “Brothers and sisters, I can confidently speak to you about the patriarch David: He is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.(U) 30 Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn an oath to him to seat one of his descendants[g] on his throne.(V) 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Messiah: He[h] was not abandoned in Hades, and his flesh did not experience decay.[i](W)
32 “God has raised(X) this Jesus; we are all witnesses of this. 33 Therefore, since he has been exalted to the right hand of God(Y) and has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit,(Z) he has poured out(AA) what you both see and hear. 34 For it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but he himself says:
The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at my right hand
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.’[j](AB)
36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”(AC)
Call to Repentance
37 When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” (AD)
38 Peter replied, “Repent(AE) and be baptized,(AF) each of you, in the name(AG) of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off,(AH) as many as the Lord our God will call.” 40 With many other words he testified and strongly urged them, saying, “Be saved from this corrupt[k] generation!” (AI) 41 So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added to them.
A Generous and Growing Church
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching,(AJ) to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.(AK)
43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles.(AL) 44 Now all the believers were together and held all things in common.(AM) 45 They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts,(AN) 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. Every day the Lord added to their number[l] those who were being saved.(AO)

2 · kai When en · ho the ho day hēmera of ho Pentecost pentēkostē arrived symplēroō, they were eimi all pas together homou in epi the ho same autos place . 2 And kai suddenly aphnō from ek heaven ouranos there came ginomai · ho a sound ēchos like hōsper a violent biaios blast pherō of wind pnoē, and kai it filled plēroō the ho whole holos house oikos where hou they were eimi sitting kathēmai. 3 And kai there appeared horaō to them autos tongues glōssa spreading diamerizō out like hōsei fire pyr, and kai one came to rest kathizō on epi each hekastos one heis of them autos. 4 And kai they were all pas filled pimplēmi with the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, and kai they began archō to speak laleō with other heteros tongues glōssa as kathōs the ho Spirit pneuma gave didōmi them autos utterance apophthengomai.
5 Now de there were eimi living katoikeō in eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm Jews Ioudaios, devout eulabēs men anēr from apo every pas nation ethnos · ho under hypo · ho heaven ouranos. 6 But de when this houtos sound phōnē was heard ginomai · ho the ho crowd plēthos gathered synerchomai, and kai they were perplexed syncheō, because hoti each hekastos one heis was hearing akouō them autos speak laleō in ho his idios own language dialektos. 7 And de they were amazed existēmi and kai wondered thaumazō, saying legō, “ Are eimi not ou all hapas these houtos who ho are speaking laleō Galileans Galilaios? 8 And kai how pōs do we hēmeis hear akouō, each hekastos of us hēmeis in ho his idios own language dialektos to en which hos he was born gennaō? 9 Parthians Parthoi and kai Medes Mēdos and kai Elamites Elamitēs and kai · ho residents katoikeō of ho Mesopotamia Mesopotamia, Judea Ioudaia and kai Cappadocia Kappadokia, Pontus Pontos and kai · ho Asia Asia, 10 Phrygia Phrygia and kai Pamphylia Pamphylia, Egypt Aigyptos and kai the ho parts meros of ho Libya Libyē · ho near kata Cyrene Kyrēnē, and kai · ho visitors epidēmeō from Rome Rhōmaios, 11 Jews Ioudaios and kai proselytes prosēlytos, Cretans Krēs and kai Arabians Araps— we hear akouō them autos telling laleō in ho our hēmeteros own tongues glōssa the ho mighty megaleios works of ho God theos.” 12 And de all pas were amazed existēmi and kai perplexed diaporeō, saying legō to pros one allos another allos, “ What tis does thelō this houtos mean eimi?” 13 But de others heteros mocking diachleuazō said legō, “ They are eimi filled with mestoō new gleukos wine .”
14 But de Peter Petros, taking his stand histēmi · ho with syn the ho eleven hendeka, lifted epairō up · ho his autos voice phōnē and kai addressed apophthengomai them autos, “ Men anēr of Judea Ioudaios and kai all pas you ho who live katoikeō in Jerusalem Ierousalēm, let eimi this houtos be eimi known gnōstos to you hymeis, and kai give enōtizomai ear to · ho my egō words rhēma. 15 For gar these men houtos are not ou, as hōs you hymeis suppose hypolambanō, drunk methyō, since gar it is eimi only the third tritos hour hōra of the ho day hēmera. 16 But alla this houtos is eimi what ho was spoken legō of through dia the ho prophet prophētēs Joel Iōēl: 17 ‘ And kai it will be eimi in en the ho last eschatos days hēmera,’ declares legō · ho God theos, ‘that I will pour ekcheō out · ho my egō Spirit pneuma on epi all pas flesh sarx, and kai your hymeis sons hyios and kai your hymeis daughters thugatēr will prophesy prophēteuō, · ho · ho and kai · ho your hymeis young neaniskos men will see horaō visions horasis, and kai · ho your hymeis old presbyteros men will dream enypniazomai dreams enypnion. 18 Even kai on epi · ho my egō male servants and kai on epi · ho my egō female doulē servants in en · ho those ekeinos days hēmera I will pour ekcheō out · ho my egō Spirit pneuma, and kai they will prophesy prophēteuō. 19 And kai I will show didōmi wonders teras in en the ho heavens ouranos above anō and kai signs sēmeion on epi the ho earth gē below katō, blood haima, and kai fire pyr, and kai smoky kapnos vapor atmis. 20 The ho sun hēlios will be turned metastrephō into eis darkness skotos and kai the ho moon selēnē into eis blood haima, before prin the coming erchomai of the ho great megas and kai glorious day hēmera of the Lord kyrios. 21 And kai it shall be eimi that everyone pas who hos calls epikaleō upon the ho name onoma of the Lord kyrios will be saved sōzō.’
22 “ Men anēr of Israel Israēlitēs, hear akouō · ho these houtos words logos: Jesus Iēsous of ho Nazareth Nazōraios, a man anēr attested apodeiknymi to eis you hymeis by apo · ho God theos with mighty dynamis works and kai wonders teras and kai signs sēmeion that hos God theos did poieō through dia him autos · ho in en your hymeis midst mesos, as kathōs you yourselves autos know oida— 23 this houtos Jesus, delivered up ekdotos according to the ho determined horizō purpose boulē and kai foreknowledge prognōsis of ho God theos, you anaireō, at dia the hands cheir of those outside anomos the law , executed anaireō by nailing prospēgnymi him to a cross ; 24 whom hos · ho God theos raised anistēmi up , loosing lyō the ho pangs ōdin of ho death thanatos, as kathoti it was eimi not ou possible dynatos for him autos to be held krateō by hypo it autos. 25 For gar David Dauid says legō regarding eis him autos, ‘ I foresaw prooraō the ho Lord kyrios before enōpion me egō always dia pas, for hoti he is eimi at ek my egō right dexios hand that hina I may not mē be shaken saleuō; 26 on dia account of this houtos my egō heart kardia rejoiced euphrainō, · ho and kai my egō tongue glōssa was glad agalliaō; · ho moreover eti de my egō flesh sarx also kai · ho will dwell kataskēnoō in epi hope elpis. 27 For hoti you will not ou abandon enkataleipō · ho my egō soul psychē to eis Hades hadēs, or oude allow didōmi · ho your sy Holy hosios One to see corruption diaphthora. 28 You have made known gnōrizō to me egō the paths hodos of life zōē; you will make me egō full plēroō of joy euphrosynē with meta · ho your sy presence prosōpon.’ 29 My brothers anēr, I can speak legō to pros you hymeis confidently meta parrēsia about peri the ho patriarch patriarchēs David Dauid, that hoti he is both kai dead teleutaō and kai buried thaptō and kai · ho his autos tomb mnēma is eimi with en us hēmeis to achri · ho this houtos day hēmera. 30 Therefore oun being hyparchō a prophet prophētēs, and kai knowing oida that hoti God theos promised omnyō him autos with an oath horkos · ho that he would place kathizō one of his descendants ek · ho on epi · ho his autos throne thronos, 31 he foresaw prooraō and spoke laleō about peri the ho resurrection anastasis of the ho Christ Christos, that hoti he was not oute abandoned enkataleipō to eis Hades hadēs, nor oute did · ho his autos flesh sarx see corruption diaphthora. 32 This houtos · ho Jesus Iēsous God theos raised anistēmi up , · ho of which hos we hēmeis all pas are eimi witnesses martys. 33 So then oun, exalted hypsoō at the ho right dexios hand of ho God theos, and having received lambanō from para the ho Father patēr the ho promise epangelia of the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, · ho he has poured ekcheō out this houtos that hos you hymeis are both kai seeing blepō and kai hearing akouō. 34 For gar David Dauid did not ou ascend anabainō into eis the ho heavens ouranos, but de he himself autos says legō, ‘ The ho Lord kyrios said legō to ho my egō Lord kyrios, Sit kathēmai at ek my egō right dexios hand , 35 until heōs an I make tithēmi · ho your sy enemies echthros a footstool hypopodion for ho your sy feet pous.’ 36 So oun let ginōskō the entire pas house oikos of Israel Israēl know ginōskō for certain asphalōs that hoti God theos has made poieō him autos both kai Lord kyrios and kai Christ Christos, · ho this houtos · ho Jesus Iēsous whom hos you hymeis crucified stauroō.”
