ACTS CHAPTER TWO
ACTS CHAPTER TWO
And when the day of Pentecost was fully
come, they were all with one accord in one PLACE. And suddenly there came a
sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house
where they were SITTING.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it
sat upon each of THEM. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began
to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them UTTERANCE.
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem
Jews, devout men, out of every nation under HEAVEN. Now when this was noised
abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every
man heard them speak in his own LANGUAGE.
And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another,
Behold, are not all these which speak GALILAEANS? And how hear we every man in
our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and
the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and ASIA,
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and
strangers of Rome, Jews and PROSELYTES, and Arabians, we do hear them speak in
our tongues the wonderful works of GOD.
And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another,
What meaneth THIS? Others mocking said, These men are full of new WINE.
But
Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye
men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and
hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but
the third hour of the DAY.
But this is that which was spoken by the Prophet Joel; And it shall
come to pass 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:
And on my servants and on my handmaidens
I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will
shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire,
and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to
pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be SAVED.
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man
approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him
in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him being delivered by the
determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked
hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the
pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be holden of it.
For
David speaketh concerning Him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he
is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart
rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: For
the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off,
even as many as the Lord our God shall CALL.
