Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
2 And when the Day of Pentecost had come, they were all of one mind, in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as that of a rushing, mighty wind. And it filled all the house where they sat.
3 And tongues of fire appeared to them. And they were distributed and 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 declared.
5 And there were Jews dwelling at Jerusalem, men of every nation under heaven, who feared God.
6 Now when this was heard, the multitude came together and were astonished, because everyone heard them speak his own language.
7 And they all wondered, and marveled, saying among themselves, “Behold, are not all these who speak from Galilee?
8 “How then do we each hear our own language, with which we were born?
9 “Parthians and Medes and Elamites; and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia and of Judea and of Cappadocia of Pontus, and Asia,
10 “and of Phrygia and Pamphylia; of Egypt and of the parts of Libya which is beside Cyrene; and strangers of Rome and Jews and Proselytes,
11 “Cretans and Arabians. We heard them speak the wonderful works of God in our own tongues!”
12 Then they were all amazed, and doubted, saying to one another, “What could this mean?”
13 And others mocked them, and said, “They are full of new wine!”
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them, “You men of Judea! All you who inhabit Jerusalem! Be it known to you and hear my words!
15 “For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.
16 “But this is that which was spoken by the Prophet Joel,
17 ‘And it shall be in the last days, says God, “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 “And on My servants, and on My handmaids, I will pour out My Spirit in those days. And they shall prophesy.
19 “And I will show wonders in Heaven above. And tokens in the Earth beneath - blood, and fire, and the vapors of smoke.
20 “The Sun shall be turned to darkness, and the Moon to blood, before that great and notable Day of the Lord comes.
21 “And it shall be, that whoever shall call on the Name of the Lord, shall be saved.”’
24 So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD and gathered seventy men of the elders of the people and set them all around the Tabernacle.
25 Then the LORD came down in a cloud and spoke to him and took from the Spirit that was upon him and put it upon the seventy ancient men. And when the Spirit rested upon them, then they prophesied and did not cease.
26 But two of the men remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad. And the name of the other, Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them, for they were of those who were listed but did not go out to the Tabernacle. And they prophesied in the camp.
27 Then, a young man ran and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 And Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, “Are you jealous for my sake? Indeed, I wish that all the LORD’s people were Prophets, and that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them.”
30 And Moses returned into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
24 O LORD, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom, You have made them all. The Earth is full of Your riches!
25 So great and wide is the sea; in which are innumerable creeping things, both small beasts and great.
26 Thereupon go the ships, and therein plays that Leviathan, whom You have made.
27 All these wait upon You, so that You may give them food in due season.
28 You give it to them, and they gather it. You open Your hand, and they are filled with good things.
29 If You hide Your face, they are troubled. If You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
30 You send forth Your spirit, and they are created; You renew the face of the Earth.
31 Glory be to the LORD forever. Let the LORD rejoice in His works!
32 He looks on the Earth and it trembles. He touches the mountains and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the LORD all my life. I will praise my God while I live.
34 Let my words be acceptable to Him. I will rejoice in the LORD.
35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the Earth, and the wicked, until there are no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD!
3 Therefore, I declare to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed. Also, no one can say that Jesus is the Lord, except by the Holy Ghost.
4 Now, there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are diversities of services, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but God is the same Who works all in all.
7 Yet the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each, for the profit of all.
8 For by the Spirit, the Word of wisdom is given to one; and to another, the Word of knowledge, by the same Spirit;
9 and to another, faith, by the same Spirit; and to another, the gifts of healing, by the same Spirit;
10 and to another, the operations of miracles; and to another, prophecy; and to another, the discerning of spirits; and to another, diversities of tongues; and to another, the interpretation of tongues.
11 Yet, in all these things works one and the same Spirit, distributing to everyone personally, as He will.
12 For as the body is one yet has many members—and all the members of the body, though they be many, are one body—even so is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body - whether Jews or Greeks, whether slave or free - and have all been made to drink of one Spirit.

19 The evening of the same day (which was the first of the week), when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, “Peace to you.”
20 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced, having seen the Lord.
21 Then Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As My Father sent Me, so I send you.”
22 And when He had said that, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Ghost.”
23 “Whoever’s sins you forgive, they are forgiven them. And whoever’s sins you retain, they are retained.”
37 Now, on the last day (the great day) of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink!
38 “The one who believes in Me, as says the Scripture, ‘Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water’!”
39 (He spoke this about the Spirit, Whom those who believed in Him were about to receive. For the Holy Ghost was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
