Acts 2:16-47
New King James Version
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘And(A) it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
(B)That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and (C)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;
(D)And they shall prophesy.
19 (E)I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 (F)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 (G)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 (H)by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— 23 Him, (I)being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, (J)you [a]have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 (K)whom God raised up, having [b]loosed the [c]pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him:
(L)‘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 (M)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 (N)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, (O)and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, [d]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, (P)that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 (Q)This Jesus God has raised up, (R)of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore (S)being exalted [e]to (T)the right hand of God, and (U)having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He (V)poured out this which you now see and hear.
34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
(W)‘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, (X)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, (Y)“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the [f]remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and (Z)to your children, and (AA)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 [g]perverse generation.” 41 Then those who [h]gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 42 (AB)And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ [i]doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and (AC)many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and (AD)had all things in common, 45 and [j]sold their possessions and goods, and (AE)divided[k] them among all, as anyone had need.
46 (AF)So continuing daily with one accord (AG)in the temple, and (AH)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 (AI)the Lord added [l]to the church daily those who were being saved.

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.(A)
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,(B)
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.(C)
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above

20 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood(E)
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord(F) will be saved.’[a](G)
22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth(H) was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs,(I) which God did among you through him,(J) as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge;(K) and you, with the help of wicked men,[b] put him to death by nailing him to the cross.(L) 24 But God raised him from the dead,(M) freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.(N) 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.(O)
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.’[c](P)
29 “Fellow Israelites,(Q) I can tell you confidently that the patriarch(R) David died and was buried,(S) and his tomb is here(T) 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.(U) 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.(V) 32 God has raised this Jesus to life,(W) and we are all witnesses(X) of it. 33 Exalted(Y) to the right hand of God,(Z) he has received from the Father(AA) the promised Holy Spirit(AB) and has poured out(AC) 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.”’[d](AD)
36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord(AE) and Messiah.”(AF)
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?”(AG)
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized,(AH) every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.(AI) And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(AJ) 39 The promise is for you and your children(AK) and for all who are far off(AL)—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.”(AM) 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number(AN) that day.
The Fellowship of the Believers
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching(AO) and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread(AP) and to prayer.(AQ) 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.(AR) 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.(AS) 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.(AT) 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.(AU) They broke bread(AV) in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.(AW) And the Lord added to their number(AX) daily those who were being saved.
