Acts 2
Christian Standard Bible
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)

使徒行传 2
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
圣灵降临
2 五旬节那日到了，他们全都聚集在一起。 2 忽然，有响声从天上下来，好像一阵大风吹过，充满了他们所坐的整座屋子； 3 又有舌头如火焰向他们显现，分开落在他们每个人身上。 4 他们都被圣灵充满，就按着圣灵所赐的口才说起别国的话来。
5 那时，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，许多人都来聚集，各人因为听见门徒用他们各自的乡谈说话，就甚纳闷， 7 都诧异惊奇说：“看哪，这些说话的不都是加利利人吗？ 8 我们每个人怎么听见他们说我们生来所用的乡谈呢？ 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、亚细亚、 10 弗吕家、旁非利亚、埃及的人，并靠近古利奈的利比亚一带地方的人，侨居的罗马人， 11 包括犹太人和皈依犹太教的人， 克里特人和阿拉伯人，都听见他们用我们的乡谈讲论 神的大作为。” 12 众人就都惊奇困惑，彼此说：“这是什么意思呢？” 13 还有人讥诮，说：“他们是灌满了新酒吧！”
彼得在五旬节的演讲
14 彼得和十一个使徒站起来，他就高声向众人说：“犹太人和所有住在耶路撒冷的人哪，这件事你们要知道，要侧耳听我的话。 15 这些人并不像你们所想的喝醉了，因为现在才早晨九点钟。 16 这正是藉着先知约珥所说的：
17 ‘ 神说：
在末后的日子，
我要将我的灵浇灌凡血肉之躯的。
你们的儿女要说预言；
你们的少年要见异象；
你们的老人要做异梦。
18 在那些日子，我要把我的灵浇灌，
甚至给我的仆人和婢女，
他们要说预言。
19 在天上，我要显出奇事，
在地下，我要显出神迹，
有血，有火，有烟雾。
20 太阳要变为黑暗，
月亮要变为血，
这都在主大而光荣的日子未到以前。
21 那时，凡求告主名的都必得救。’
22 “以色列人哪，你们要听我这些话：拿撒勒人耶稣就是 神以异能、奇事、神迹向你们证明出来的人，这些事是 神藉着他在你们中间施行，正如你们自己知道的。 23 他既按着 神确定的旨意和预知被交与人，你们就藉着不法之人的手把他钉在十字架上，杀了。 24 神却将死的痛苦解除，使他复活了，因为他原不能被死拘禁。 25 大卫指着他说：
‘我看见[a]主常在我眼前，
他在我右边，使我不至于动摇。
26 所以我心里欢喜，我的舌头快乐，
而且我的肉身要安居在指望中。
27 因你必不将我的灵魂撇在阴间，
也不让你的圣者见朽坏。
28 你已将生命的道路指示我，
必使我在你面前充满快乐。’
29 “诸位弟兄，先祖大卫的事，我可以坦然地对你们说：他死了，也埋葬了，而且他的坟墓直到今日还在我们这里。 30 既然大卫是先知，他知道 神曾向他起誓，要从他的后裔中立一位坐在他的宝座上。 31 他预先看见了，就讲论基督的复活，说：
‘他不被撇在阴间；
他的肉身也不见朽坏。’
32 这耶稣， 神已经使他复活了，我们都是这事的见证人。 33 他既被高举在 神的右边，又从父受了所应许的圣灵，就把你们所看见所听见的，浇灌下来。 34 大卫并没有升到天上，但他自己说：
‘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 故此，以色列全家当确实知道，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 众人听见这话，觉得扎心，就对彼得和其余的使徒说：“诸位弟兄，我们该怎样做呢？” 38 彼得对他们说：“你们各人要悔改，奉耶稣基督的名受洗，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，并一切在远方的人，就是给所有主—我们的 神所召来的人。” 40 彼得还用更多别的话作见证，劝勉他们说：“你们当救自己脱离这弯曲的世代。” 41 于是领受他话的人，都受了洗；那一天，门徒约添了三千人。 42 他们都专注于使徒的教导和彼此的团契，擘饼和祈祷。
信徒的团契生活
43 众人都心存敬畏；使徒们[b]又行了许多奇事神迹。 44 信的人都聚在一处，凡物公用， 45 又卖了田产和家业，照每一个人所需要的分给他们。 46 他们天天同心合意恒切地在圣殿里敬拜，且在家中[c]擘饼，存着欢喜坦诚的心用饭， 47 赞美 神，得全体百姓的喜爱。主将得救的人天天加给他们。
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.
