Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

2 And when the day of Pentecost was now accomplishing, they were all together in one place.

² And there came suddenly a sound out of heaven as of a violent impetuous blowing, and filled all the house where they were sitting.

³ And there appeared to them parted tongues, as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them.

⁴ And they were all filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave to them to speak forth.

⁵ Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, pious men, from every nation of those under heaven.

⁶ But the rumour of this having spread, the multitude came together and were confounded, because each one heard them speaking in his own dialect.

⁷ And all were amazed and wondered, saying, Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galilaeans?

⁸ and how do *we* hear [them] each in our own dialect in which we have been born,

⁹ Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judaea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

¹⁰ both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya which adjoin Cyrene, and the Romans sojourning [here], both Jews and proselytes,

¹¹ Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own tongues the great things of God?

¹² And they were all amazed and in perplexity, saying one to another, What would this mean?

¹³ But others mocking said, They are full of new wine.

¹⁴ But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke forth to them, Men of Judaea, and all ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give heed to my words:

¹⁵ for these are not full of wine, as *ye* suppose, for it is the third hour of the day;

¹⁶ but this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel,

¹⁷ And it shall be in the last days, saith God, [that] 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 elders shall dream with dreams;

¹⁸ yea, even upon my bondmen and upon my bondwomen in those days will I pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

¹⁹ And I will give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

²⁰ the sun shall be changed to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and gloriously appearing day of [the] Lord come.

²¹ And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of [the] Lord shall be saved.

²⁴ And Moses went out and told the people the words of Jehovah; and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tent.

²⁵ And Jehovah came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men, the elders; and it came to pass, that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did not repeat [it].

²⁶ And two men remained in the camp, the name of the one, Eldad, and the name of the other, Medad; and the Spirit rested upon them (and they were among them that were written, but they had not gone out to the tent); and they prophesied in the camp.

²⁷ And there ran a youth, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.

²⁸ And Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them!

²⁹ But Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? would that all Jehovah's people were prophets, [and] that Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them!

³⁰ And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

²⁴ How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

²⁵ Yonder is the great and wide sea: therein are moving things innumerable, living creatures small and great.

²⁶ There go the ships; [there] that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein.

²⁷ These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season:

²⁸ That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.

²⁹ Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust.

³⁰ Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.

³¹ The glory of Jehovah will endure for ever; Jehovah will rejoice in his works.

³² He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

³³ I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being.

³⁴ My meditation shall be pleasant unto him; I will rejoice in Jehovah.

³⁵ Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Hallelujah!

³ I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in [the power of the] Spirit of God, says, Curse [on] Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in [the power of the] Holy Spirit.

⁴ But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;

⁵ and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord;

⁶ and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.

⁷ But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.

⁸ For to one, by the Spirit, is given [the] word of wisdom; and to another [the] word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

⁹ and to a different one faith, in [the power of] the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in [the power of] the same Spirit;

¹⁰ and to another operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues.

¹¹ But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.

¹² For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the Christ.

¹³ For also in [the power of] one Spirit *we* have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.

2 And when the day of Pentecost was now accomplishing, they were all together in one place.

¹⁹ When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first [day] of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace [be] to you.

²⁰ And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.

²¹ [Jesus] said therefore again to them, Peace [be] to you: as the Father sent me forth, I also send you.

²² And having said this, he breathed into [them], and says to them, Receive [the] Holy Spirit:

²³ whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.

³⁷ In the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.

³⁸ He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

³⁹ But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that believed on him were about to receive; for [the] Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
