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)

Ang Pagdating ng Espiritu Santo
2 Nagkakatipon(A) silang lahat sa isang lugar nang sumapit ang araw ng Pentecostes. 2 Walang anu-ano'y may ingay na nagmula sa langit, na tulad ng ugong ng malakas na hangin, at napuno nito ang bahay na kinaroroonan nila. 3 May nakita silang parang mga dilang apoy na dumapo sa bawat isa sa kanila, 4 at silang lahat ay napuspos ng Espiritu Santo at nagsimulang magsalita ng iba't ibang wika, ayon sa ipinagkaloob sa kanila ng Espiritu.
5 May mga debotong Judio noon sa Jerusalem na nagmula sa bawat bansa sa buong mundo. 6 Nang marinig nila ang ugong, nagdatingan ang maraming tao. Namangha sila sapagkat nagsasalita ang mga alagad sa wika ng mga nakikinig. 7 Sa pagkamangha at pagtataka ay kanilang nasabi, “Hindi ba taga-Galilea silang lahat? 8 Bakit sila nakapagsasalita sa ating wika? 9 Tayo'y mga taga-Partia, Media, Elam, Mesopotamia, Judea at Capadocia, Ponto at Asia[a]. 10 Mayroon pa sa ating taga-Frigia at Pamfilia, Egipto at sa mga lupain ng Libya na malapit sa bayan ng Cirene, at mga nagmula sa Roma, mga Judio at mga Hentil na nahikayat sa pananampalatayang Judio. 11 May mga taga-Creta at Arabia rin. Paano sila nakapagsasalita sa ating mga wika tungkol sa mga kahanga-hangang ginawa ng Diyos?” 12 Hindi nila lubusang maunawaan ang nangyari, kaya't nagtanungan sila, “Ano ang kahulugan nito?”
13 Ngunit may ilang nagsabi nang pakutya, “Lasing lang ang mga iyan!”
Nangaral si Pedro
14 Kaya't tumayo si Pedro, kasama ng labing-isang apostol, at nagsalita nang malakas, “Mga taga-Judea, at kayong lahat na nakatira sa Jerusalem, pakinggan ninyong mabuti ang sasabihin ko. 15 Hindi lasing ang mga taong ito, gaya ng palagay ninyo. Alas nuwebe pa lamang ng umaga ngayon. 16 Ang nakikita ninyo'y katuparan ng ipinahayag ni Propeta Joel,
17 ‘Ito(B) ang gagawin ko sa mga huling araw,’ sabi ng Diyos,
‘Ibubuhos ko ang aking Espiritu sa lahat ng tao;
ipahahayag ng inyong mga anak na lalaki at babae ang aking mensahe.
Ang inyong mga kabataang lalaki ay makakakita ng mga pangitain,
at ang inyong matatandang lalaki ay magkakaroon ng mga panaginip.
18 Sa panahong iyon, ibubuhos ko rin ang aking Espiritu,
sa aking mga alipin, maging lalaki at maging babae,
at ipahahayag nila ang aking mensahe.
19 Magpapakita ako ng mga kababalaghan sa langit
at mga himala sa lupa;
dugo, apoy at makapal na usok.
20 Ang araw ay magdidilim,
ang buwan ay pupulang parang dugo,
bago dumating ang dakila at maluwalhating araw ng Panginoon.
21 At sinumang tumawag sa pangalan ng Panginoon ay maliligtas.’
22 “Mga Israelita, pakinggan ninyo ito! Si Jesus na taga-Nazaret ay sinugo ng Diyos. Pinatunayan ito ng mga himala, mga kababalaghan, at mga palatandaang ginawa ng Diyos sa pamamagitan niya. Alam ninyo ito sapagkat ang lahat ng ito ay naganap sa kalagitnaan ninyo. 23 Ang Jesus na ito, na ipinagkanulo sa inyo ayon sa pasya at kaalaman ng Diyos sa mula't mula pa, ay ipinapako ninyo at ipinapatay sa mga taong masasama. 24 Subalit(C) siya'y muling binuhay ng Diyos at pinalaya mula sa kapangyarihan ng kamatayan, sapagkat hindi maaaring siya'y bihagin nito, 25 gaya(D) ng sinabi ni David tungkol sa kanya,
‘Nakita ko ang Panginoon na lagi kong kasama,
hindi ako matitinag sapagkat kapiling ko siya.
26 Dahil dito, natuwa ang puso ko at
ang mga salita ko'y napuno ng galak,
at ang katawan ko'y mananatiling may pag-asa.
27 Sapagkat ang kaluluwa ko'y di mo pababayaan sa daigdig ng mga patay,[b]
At hindi mo hahayaang makaranas ng pagkabulok ang iyong Banal na Lingkod.
28 Itinuro mo sa akin ang mga landas patungo sa buhay,
dahil ikaw ang kasama ko, ako'y mapupuno ng kagalakan.’
29 “Mga kapatid, may katiyakang sinasabi ko sa inyo na ang ninuno nating si David ay namatay at inilibing, at naririto ang kanyang libingan hanggang ngayon. 30 Siya'y(E) propeta at alam niya ang pangako sa kanya ng Diyos, na magiging haring tulad niya ang isang magmumula sa kanyang angkan. 31 Noon pa man ay nakita na ni David ang muling pagkabuhay ng Cristo at ipinahayag niya ito nang kanyang sabihing, ‘hindi siya pinabayaan sa daigdig ng mga patay,[c] at hindi nakaranas ng pagkabulok ang kanyang katawan.’ 32 Ang Jesus na ito ay muling binuhay ng Diyos at saksi kaming lahat sa pangyayaring iyon. 33 Pinaupo siya sa kanan ng Diyos at tinanggap niya mula sa Ama ang ipinangakong Espiritu Santo. Ito ang kanyang ibinuhos sa amin, tulad ng inyong nakikita at naririnig. 34 Hindi(F) si David ang umakyat sa langit, kundi sinabi lamang niya,
‘Sinabi ng Panginoon sa aking Panginoon,
“Maupo ka sa kanan ko,
35 hanggang lubusan kong mapasuko sa iyo ang mga kaaway mo.”’
36 “Kaya't dapat malaman ng buong Israel na itong si Jesus na ipinako ninyo sa krus ay siyang ginawa ng Diyos na Panginoon at Cristo!”
37 Nabagabag ang kanilang kalooban nang marinig ito, kaya't tinanong nila si Pedro at ang ibang mga apostol, “Mga kapatid, ano ang dapat naming gawin?”
38 Sumagot si Pedro, “Pagsisihan ninyo't talikuran ang inyong mga kasalanan at magpabautismo kayo sa pangalan ni Jesu-Cristo upang kayo'y patawarin; at tatanggapin ninyo ang kaloob ng Espiritu Santo. 39 Sapagkat ang pangako ay para sa inyo at sa inyong mga anak, at sa lahat ng nasa malayo, sa bawat taong tatawagin ng ating Panginoong Diyos.”
40 Marami pang inilahad si Pedro upang patunayan ang kanyang sinabi, at nanawagan siya sa kanila, “Iligtas ninyo ang inyong mga sarili mula sa parusang sasapitin ng masamang lahing ito.”
41 Kaya't ang mga naniwala sa ipinangaral niya ay nagpabautismo, at nadagdagan ang mga alagad ng may tatlong libong katao nang araw na iyon. 42 Inilaan nila ang kanilang mga sarili upang matuto sa turo ng mga apostol, magsama-sama bilang magkakapatid, magsalu-salo sa pagkain ng tinapay, at manalangin.
Ang Pamumuhay ng mga Sumasampalataya
43 Dahil sa maraming himala at kababalaghang ginagawa sa pamamagitan ng mga apostol [sa Jerusalem],[d] naghari sa lahat ang takot. 44 Nagsama-sama(G) ang lahat ng sumasampalataya at ang kanilang mga ari-arian ay itinuring na para sa lahat. 45 Ipinagbili nila ang kanilang mga ari-arian at ang napagbilhan ay ipinamahagi sa bawat isa ayon sa kanyang pangangailangan. 46 Araw-araw, sila'y nagkakatipon sa Templo at nagpipira-piraso ng tinapay sa kanilang mga tahanan, na masaya at may malinis na kalooban. 47 Nagpupuri sila sa Diyos, at kinalulugdan sila ng lahat ng tao. At bawat araw ay idinaragdag sa kanila ng Panginoon ang mga inililigtas.

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.
