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.

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.

The Coming of the Holy Spirit
2 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. 6 And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. 7 Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? 9 Parthians, Medes, 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, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” 12 All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.”
Peter Addresses the Crowd
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. 15 Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. 16 No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 ‘In the last days it will be, God declares,
that I will pour out 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 Even upon my slaves, both men and women,
in those days I will pour out my Spirit;
and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show portents in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and smoky mist.
20 The sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.
21 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
22 “You that are Israelites,[a] listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth,[b] a man attested to you by God with deeds of power, wonders, and signs that God did through him among you, as you yourselves know— 23 this man, handed over to you according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law. 24 But God raised him up, having freed him from death,[c] because it was impossible for him to be held in its power. 25 For David says concerning him,
‘I saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken;
26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
moreover my flesh will live in hope.
27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,
or let your Holy One experience corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
29 “Fellow Israelites,[d] I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Foreseeing this, David[e] spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah,[f] saying,
‘He was not abandoned to Hades,
nor did his flesh experience corruption.’
32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted at[g] the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you both see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.”’
36 Therefore let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah,[h] this Jesus whom you crucified.”
The First Converts
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, “Brothers,[i] what should we do?” 38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.” 40 And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41 So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added. 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Life among the Believers
43 Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. 44 All who believed were together and had all things in common; 45 they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds[j] to all, as any had need. 46 Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home[k] and ate their food with glad and generous[l] hearts, 47 praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
