Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

2 And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place,

² and there came suddenly out of the heaven a sound as of a bearing violent breath, and it filled all the house where they were sitting,

³ and there appeared to them divided tongues, as it were of fire; it sat also upon each one of them,

⁴ and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving them to declare.

⁵ And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven,

⁶ and the rumour of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were each one hearing them speaking in his proper dialect,

⁷ and they were all amazed, and did wonder, saying one unto another, `Lo, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

⁸ and how do we hear, each in our proper dialect, in which we were born?

⁹ Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,

¹⁰ Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that [are] along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

¹¹ Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.'

¹² And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one unto another, `What would this wish to be?'

¹³ and others mocking said, -- `They are full of sweet wine;'

¹⁴ and Peter having stood up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and declared to them, `Men, Jews! and all those dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and harken to my sayings,

¹⁵ for these are not drunken, as ye take it up, for it is the third hour of the day.

¹⁶ `But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷ And it shall be 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 also upon My men-servants, and upon My maid-servants, in those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy;

¹⁹ and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath -- blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke,

²⁰ the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the day of the Lord -- the great and illustrious;

²¹ and it shall be, every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.

²⁴ And Moses goeth out, and speaketh unto the people the words of Jehovah, and gathereth seventy men of the elders of the people, and causeth them to stand round about the tent,

²⁵ and Jehovah cometh down in the cloud, and speaketh unto him, and keepeth back of the Spirit which [is] on him, and putteth on the seventy men of the elders; and it cometh to pass at the resting of the Spirit on them, that they prophesy, and do not cease.

²⁶ And two of the men are left in the camp, the name of the one [is] Eldad, and the name of the second Medad, and the spirit resteth upon them, (and they are among those written, and have not gone out to the tent), and they prophesy in the camp;

²⁷ and the young man runneth, and declareth to Moses, and saith, `Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.'

²⁸ And Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, [one] of his young men, answereth and saith, `My lord Moses, restrain them.'

²⁹ And Moses saith to him, `Art thou zealous for me? O that all Jehovah's people were prophets! that Jehovah would put His Spirit upon them!'

³⁰ And Moses is gathered unto the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

²⁴ How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.

²⁵ This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There [are] moving things -- innumerable, Living creatures -- small with great.

²⁶ There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to play in it.

²⁷ All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its season.

²⁸ Thou dost give to them -- they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand -- they [are] satisfied [with] good.

²⁹ Thou hidest Thy face -- they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit -- they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.

³⁰ Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the ground.

³¹ The honour of Jehovah is to the age, Jehovah rejoiceth in His works,

³² Who is looking to earth, and it trembleth, He cometh against hills, and they smoke.

³³ I sing to Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

³⁴ Sweet is my meditation on Him, I -- I do rejoice in Jehovah.

³⁵ Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!

³ wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus [is] anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus [is] Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.

⁴ And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;

⁵ and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord;

⁶ and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.

⁷ And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;

⁸ for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

⁹ and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;

¹⁰ and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues:

¹¹ and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.

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

¹³ for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,

2 And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place,

² and there came suddenly out of the heaven a sound as of a bearing violent breath, and it filled all the house where they were sitting,

³ and there appeared to them divided tongues, as it were of fire; it sat also upon each one of them,

⁴ and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving them to declare.

¹¹ Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.'

¹³ and others mocking said, -- `They are full of sweet wine;'

¹⁶ `But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁹ It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;'

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

²¹ Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;'

²² and this having said, he breathed on [them], and saith to them, `Receive the Holy Spirit;

²³ if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.'

³⁷ And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;

³⁸ he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'

³⁹ and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
