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.

Den helige Ande utgjuts på pingstdagen
2 När pingstdagen[a] hade kommit var de alla samlade. 2 Då kom plötsligt från himlen ett dån, som när en våldsam storm drar fram, och det fyllde hela huset där de satt. 3 Tungor som av eld visade sig för dem och fördelade sig och satte sig på var och en av dem. 4 Och de uppfylldes alla av den helige Ande och började tala främmande språk, allteftersom Anden ingav dem att tala.
5 Nu bodde i Jerusalem fromma judiska män från alla folk under himlen. 6 Och när dånet hördes samlades folkskaran, och alla blev mycket uppskakade, eftersom var och en hörde sitt eget språk talas. 7 Häpna och förundrade sade de: "Är de inte galileer, alla dessa som talar? 8 Hur kan då var och en av oss höra sitt eget modersmål? 9 Vi som är parter, meder eller elamiter, vi som bor i Mesopotamien, Judeen eller Kappadocien, i Pontus eller Asien,[b] 10 i Frygien eller Pamfylien, i Egypten eller Libyen åt Cyrene till eller är inflyttade främlingar från Rom, 11 vi som är judar eller proselyter,[c] kretenser eller araber - vi hör dem tala på vårt eget språk om Guds väldiga gärningar." 12 De var alla mycket häpna och förvirrade och frågade varandra: "Vad kan detta betyda?" 13 Men andra sade hånfullt: "De har druckit sig fulla av sött vin."
Petrus pingstpredikan
14 Då trädde Petrus fram tillsammans med de elva och tog till orda och talade till dem: "Ni judiska män och alla ni som bor i Jerusalem, detta bör ni veta, och lyssna nu på mina ord. 15 Det är inte som ni tror att dessa är berusade. Det är ju bara tredje timmen på dagen. 16 Nej, det är detta som är sagt genom profeten Joel:
17 Och det skall ske i de sista dagarna, säger Gud:
Jag skall utgjuta av min Ande över allt kött.
Era söner och era döttrar skall profetera,
era unga män skall se syner, och era gamla män
skall ha drömmar.[d]
18 Ja, över mina tjänare och tjänarinnor skall jag i de dagarna
utgjuta av min Ande, och de skall profetera.
19 Jag skall låta under synas uppe på himlen
och tecken nere på jorden, blod, eld och rök.
20 Solen skall vändas i mörker och månen i blod,
innan Herrens dag kommer, den stora och härliga.
21 Och det skall ske att var och en som åkallar Herrens namn
skall bli frälst.
22 Israeliter, lyssna till dessa ord: Jesus från Nasaret var en man som Gud bekände sig till inför er genom kraftgärningar, under och tecken, som Gud genom honom utförde mitt ibland er, så som ni själva vet. 23 Efter Guds fastställda plan och beslut blev han utlämnad, och med hjälp av dem som är utan lagen[e] spikade ni fast honom på korset och dödade honom. 24 Men honom har Gud uppväckt och löst ur dödens vånda, eftersom det inte var möjligt att han skulle behållas av döden. 25 David säger med tanke på honom:
Jag har alltid Herren för ögonen, han står på min högra sida
för att jag inte skall vackla.[f]
26 Därför gläder sig mitt hjärta och jublar min tunga,
ja, också min kropp skall vila i det hoppet
27 att du inte skall lämna mig i graven[g] eller låta din Helige se förgängelsen
28 Du har visat mig livets vägar, och du skall uppfylla mig
med glädje inför ditt ansikte.
29 Mina bröder, jag får väl öppet säga er att vår stamfader David är både död och begraven, hans grav finns ibland oss än i dag. 30 Han var profet och visste att Gud med ed hade lovat att sätta någon av hans ättlingar på hans tron. 31 I förväg såg han Kristi uppståndelse och sade: Han skall inte lämnas kvar i graven, och hans kropp skall inte se förgängelsen. [h] 32 Det är denne Jesus som Gud har uppväckt, och vi är alla vittnen till det. 33 Sedan han nu genom Guds högra hand har blivit upphöjd och av Fadern tagit emot den utlovade helige Ande, har han utgjutit detta som ni ser och hör. 34 Ty David har inte farit upp till himlen. Men han säger:
Herren sade till min Herre:[i] Sätt dig på min högra sida,[j]
35 tills jag har lagt dina fiender som en fotpall under dina fötter.[k]
36 Därför skall hela Israels folk veta att denne Jesus som ni korsfäste, honom har Gud gjort både till Herre och Messias."
37 När de hörde detta, högg det till i hjärtat på dem, och de frågade Petrus och de andra apostlarna: "Bröder, vad skall vi göra?" 38 Petrus svarade dem: "Omvänd er och låt er alla döpas i Jesu Kristi namn, så att era synder blir förlåtna. Då skall ni få den helige Ande som gåva. 39 Ty er gäller löftet och era barn och alla dem som är långt borta, så många som Herren vår Gud kallar." 40 Också med många andra ord vittnade han och uppmanade dem: "Låt er frälsas från detta bortvända släkte." 41 De som då tog emot hans ord döptes, och så ökade antalet lärjungar den dagen med omkring tre tusen.
De troendes gemenskap
42 De höll troget fast vid apostlarnas lära och gemenskapen, vid brödsbrytelsen och bönerna. 43 Och fruktan kom över alla, och många under och tecken gjordes genom apostlarna. 44 Alla troende var tillsammans och hade allting gemensamt. 45 De sålde sina egendomar och allt vad de ägde och delade ut till alla, efter vad var och en behövde. 46 Varje dag var de endräktigt tillsammans i templet, och i hemmen bröt de bröd och höll måltid med varandra i jublande, innerlig glädje. 47 De prisade Gud och var omtyckta av allt folket. Och Herren ökade var dag skaran med dem som blev frälsta.

The Coming of the Holy Spirit
2 When (A)the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like (B)a mighty rushing wind, and (C)it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues (D)as of fire appeared to them and rested[a] on each one of them. 4 And they were all (E)filled with the Holy Spirit and began (F)to speak in other tongues (G)as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6 And (H)at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 7 And (I)they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking (J)Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? 9 Parthians and (K)Medes and (L)Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11 both Jews and (M)proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” 12 And (N)all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But others (O)mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”
Peter's Sermon at Pentecost
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, (P)since it is only the third hour of the day.[b] 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:
17 (Q)“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
(R)that I will pour out my Spirit (S)on all flesh,
and your sons and (T)your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and (U)they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20 (V)the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before (W)the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that (X)everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, (Y)a man attested to you by God (Z)with (AA)mighty works and wonders and signs that (AB)God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus,[c] (AC)delivered up according to (AD)the definite plan and (AE)foreknowledge of God, (AF)you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 (AG)God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because (AH)it was not possible for him to be held by it. 25 For David says concerning him,
(AI)“‘I saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
my flesh also will dwell (AJ)in hope.
27 For you will not abandon my soul to (AK)Hades,
(AL)or let your (AM)Holy One (AN)see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
29 “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about (AO)the patriarch David (AP)that he both died and (AQ)was buried, and (AR)his tomb is with us to this day. 30 (AS)Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that (AT)God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that (AU)he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus (AV)God raised up, (AW)and of that we all are witnesses. 33 (AX)Being therefore (AY)exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from (AZ)the Father (BA)the promise of the Holy Spirit, (BB)he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For (BC)David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,
(BD)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.”’
36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that (BE)God has made him (BF)both Lord and Christ, this Jesus (BG)whom you crucified.”
37 Now when (BH)they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, (BI)what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, (BJ)“Repent and (BK)be baptized every one of you (BL)in the name of Jesus Christ (BM)for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive (BN)the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For (BO)the promise is for you and (BP)for your children and for all (BQ)who are far off, everyone (BR)whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, (BS)“Save yourselves from this (BT)crooked generation.” 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and (BU)there were added that day about three thousand souls.
The Fellowship of the Believers
42 And (BV)they devoted themselves to the apostles' (BW)teaching and the (BX)fellowship, to (BY)the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe[d] came upon every soul, and (BZ)many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and (CA)had all things in common. 45 And (CB)they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, (CC)attending the temple (CD)together and (CE)breaking bread in their homes, they received their food (CF)with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and (CG)having favor with all the people. And the Lord (CH)added to their number (CI)day by day those who (CJ)were being saved.
