Acts
2
1
Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
2
Suddenly a sound like a violent wind blowing came from heaven and filled the entire house where they were sitting.
3
And tongues spreading out like a fire appeared to them and came to rest on each one of them.
4
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them.
5
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem.
6
When this sound occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7
Completely baffled, they said, "Aren't all these who are speaking Galileans?
8
And how is it that each one of us hears them in our own native language?
9
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and the province of Asia,
10
Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,
11
both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs - we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great deeds God has done!"
12
All were astounded and greatly confused, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"
13
But others jeered at the speakers, saying, "They are drunk on new wine!"
14
But Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: "You men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, know this and listen carefully to what I say.
15
In spite of what you think, these men are not drunk, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning.
16
But this is what was spoken about through the prophet Joel:
17
'And in the last days it will be,' God says, 'that I will pour out my Spirit on all people, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and 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.
19
And I will perform wonders in the sky above and miraculous signs on the earth below, blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
20
The sun will be changed to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21
And then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'
22
"Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man clearly attested to you by God with powerful deeds, wonders, and miraculous signs that God performed among you through him, just as you yourselves know -
23
this man, who was handed over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed by nailing him to a cross at the hands of Gentiles.
24
But God raised him up, having released him from the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power.
