Acts - Chapter: 2


2:1	When the fyfty daye was come, they were all with one accorde together in one place.
2:2	And sodainly there came a sounde from heauen, as it had bene the comynge of a myghty wynd, and it filled al the housse where they sate.
2:3	And there appeared vnto them clouen tounges, lyke as they had bene fyre, and it sate vpon eche of them,
2:4	and they were all filled with the holye ghoste, and began to speake wyth other tounges, euen as the spyryte gaue them vtteraunce.
2:5	And there were dwelling at Hierusalem Iewes, deuout men, whyche were of all nations vnder heauen.
2:6	When thys was noysed aboute, the multitude came together & were astonied, because that euery man hearde them speake hys owne toung.
2:7	They wondred all & merueyled sayinge among them selues: Behold are not al these which speake of Galile?
2:8	And how heare we euery man his own tounge wherin we were borne?
2:9	Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia, of Iewry, and of Cappadocia, and of Ponthus and Asia,
2:10	Phrysia, Pamphilia, and of Egypte, and of the parties of Libia, which is besyde Syren, and straungers of Rome, Iewes, and conuertes,
2:11	Grekes, and Arabians: we haue heard them speake: wyth our owne tounges the great workes of God.
2:12	They were all amased, and woundered saiynge one to another: what meaneth thys?
2:13	Other mocked them sayinge: they are full of newe wyne.
2:14	But Peter stepped forth wyth the eleuen, and lyfte vp his voyce, and sayed vnto them: Ye men of Iewrye, and all ye that inhabite Hierusalem: be thys knowen vnto you, and wyth youre eares heare my wordes.
2:15	These art not drounke, as ye suppose, for it is yet but the thyrde houre of the day.
2:16	But thys is that which was spoken by the Prophet Iohel:
2:17	It shal be in the laste daies saith God, of my spirite: I wil pour out vpon all flesh. And your sonnes and daughters shal prophesie, & your youngmen shal se visions, and your oldmen shall dreame dreames.
2:18	And on my seruauntes and on my handmaydens, I wyll pour out of my spirite in those dayes, and they shall prophesye.
2:19	And I wyll shewe wounders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the earth beneth, bloude & fyre, and the vapoure of smoke.
2:20	The sonne shalbe turned into darckenes, and the mone into bloude, before that greate and notable day of the Lorde come.
2:21	And it shall be, that whosoeuer shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saued.
2:22	Ye men of Israel heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth, a man approued of God amonge you wyth miracles, woundres, and signes whiche God dyd by hym in the middes of you, as ye your selues knowe:
2:23	hym haue ye taken by the handes of vnryghtuous persons after he was delyuered by the determinate counsell and for knowledge of God, and haue crucifyed and slayne:
2:24	whom God hath raysed vp and lowsed the sorowes of deathe, because it was vnpossible that he shoulde be holden of it.
2:25	For Dauid speaketh of hym afore hand. I sawe the Lorde alwayes before me: For he is on my ryghte hande, that I shoulde not be moued.
2:26	Therefore dyd my herte reioice, and my tounge was glad. Moreouer also my fleshe shall reste in hope,
2:27	because thou wylt not leaue my soule in hel, neyther wylte suffer thine holy, to se corruption.
2:28	Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe, and shalte make me full of ioye, wt thy countenaunce.
2:29	Men and brethren, let me frely speake vnto you of the patriarche Dauid: For he is both dead and buryed, and hys sepulchre remaineth wyth vs vnto this daye.
2:30	Therfore seiyng he was a Prophet, and knew that God had sworne wyth an othe to hym, that the fruyte of hys loynes shoulde sit on hys seat (in that Christ shoulde ryse agayne in the flesh)
2:31	he sawe before: and spake of the resurreccion of Christ, that hys soule shoulde not be lefte in hell: neyther hys fleshe should se corruption.
2:32	Thys Iesus hath God raised vp wher of we all are witnesses.
2:33	Sence nowe that he by the ryght hand of God is exalted, and hath receiued of the father the promyse of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth, that whyche ye now se and heare.
2:34	For Dauid is not ascended into heauen: but he sayd: The Lord said to my Lord, syt on my ryght hande
2:35	vntyll I make thy fooes thy fote stole.
2:36	So therefore let all the house of Israell knowe for a surety, that God hath made the same Iesus whom ye haue crucifyed, bothe Lord and Christe.
2:37	When they hearde this, they were prycked in their hertes, and sayd vnto Peter and vnto the other Apostles. Ye men and brethren, what shall we do?
2:38	Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptysed euerye one of you in the name of Iesus Christe for the remission of sinnes, and ye shall receiue the gifte of the holye ghost.
2:39	For the promyse was made vnto you and to your chyldren, & to all that are a farre, euen as manye as the Lorde oure God shall call.
2:40	And wyth manye other wordes bare he wytnes and exhorted them saiynge: Saue your selues from thys vntowarde generacion.
2:41	Then they that gladlye receiued his preachinge, were baptysed, and the same daye there were added vnto them about thre thousande soules.
2:42	And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and fellowshyppe, and in breakyng of bread, and in praier.
2:43	And feare came ouer euery soule. And many woundres & signes were shewed by the Apostles.
2:44	And all that beleued kept them selues together, and had all thinges commen,
2:45	and solde their possessions and goodes, and departed them to all men as euery man had nede.
2:46	And they contynued dayly wyth one accorde in the temple and brake bread in euerye house, and dyd eate their meate together, with gladnes and singlenes of her
2:47	praisynge God, and had fauour wyth all the people: And the Lorde added to the congregacion dayly suche as should be saued.


2:1	And when the day of Pentecost was come, they were al with one accord in one place.
2:2	And suddenly there came a sounde from heauen, as of a russhing and mightie winde, and it filled all the house where they sate.
2:3	And there appeared vnto them clouen tongues, like fire, and it sate vpon eche of them.
2:4	And they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and began to speake with other tongues, as the Spirit gaue them vtterance.
2:5	And there were dwelling at Hierusalem Iewes, men that feared God, of euery nation vnder heauen.
2:6	Nowe when this was noised, the multitude came together and were astonied, because that euery man heard them speake his owne language.
2:7	And they wondered al, and marueiled, saying among themselues, Beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile?
2:8	How then heare we euery man our owne language, wherein we were borne?
2:9	Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, and of Iudea, and of Cappadocia, of Pontus, and Asia,
2:10	And of Phrygia, and Pamphylia, of Egypt, and of the partes of Libya, which is beside Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, and Iewes, and Proselytes,
2:11	Creetes, and Arabians: wee hearde them speake in our owne tongues the wonderful works of God.
2:12	They were all then amased, and douted, saying one to another, What may this be?
2:13	And others mocked, and saide, They are full of newe wine.
2:14	But Peter standing with ye Eleuen, lift vp his voice, and said vnto them, Ye men of Iudea, and ye all that inhabite Hierusalem, be this knowen vnto you, and hearken vnto my woordes.
2:15	For these are not drunken, as yee suppose, since it is but the third houre of the day.
2:16	But this is that, which was spoken by the Prophet Ioel,
2:17	And it shalbe in the last daies, saith God, I wil powre out of my Spirite vpon al flesh, and your sonnes, and your daughters shall prophecie, and your yong men shall see visions, and your old men shall dreame dreames.
2:18	And on my seruauntes, and on mine handmaides I will powre out of my Spirite in those daies, and they shall prophecie.
2:19	And I wil shew wonders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and the vapour of smoke.
2:20	The Sunne shalbe turned into darkenesse, and the moone into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come.
2:21	And it shalbe, that whosoeuer shall call on the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued.
2:22	Yee men of Israel, heare these woordes, JESUS of Nazareth, a man approued of God among you with great workes, and wonders, and signes, which God did by him in the middes of you, as yee your selues also knowe:
2:23	Him, I say, being deliuered by the determinate counsell, and foreknowledge of God, after you had taken, with wicked handes you haue crucified and slaine.
2:24	Whome God hath raised vp, and loosed the sorrowes of death, because it was vnpossible that he should be holden of it.
2:25	For Dauid sayeth concerning him, I beheld the Lord alwaies before me: for hee is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken.
2:26	Therefore did mine heart reioyce, and my tongue was glad, and moreouer also my flesh shall rest in hope,
2:27	Because thou wilt not leaue my soule in graue, neither wilt suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.
2:28	Thou hast shewed me the waies of life, and shalt make me full of ioy with thy countenance.
2:29	Men and brethren, I may boldly speake vnto you of the Patriarke Dauid, that hee is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre remaineth with vs vnto this day.
2:30	Therefore, seeing hee was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that of the fruite of his loynes hee woulde raise vp Christ concerning the flesh, to set him vpon his throne,
2:31	Hee knowing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soule shoulde not bee left in graue, neither his flesh shoulde see corruption.
2:32	This Iesus hath God raised vp, whereof we all are witnesses.
2:33	Since then that he by the right hande of God hath bene exalted, and hath receiued of his Father the promise of the holy Ghost, hee hath shed foorth this which yee nowe see and heare.
2:34	For Dauid is not ascended into heauen, but he sayth, The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hande,
2:35	Vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
2:36	Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a suretie, that God hath made him both Lord, and Christ, this Iesus, I say, whome yee haue crucified.
2:37	Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their heartes, and said vnto Peter and the other Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we doe?
2:38	Then Peter said vnto them, Amend your liues, and bee baptized euery one of you in the Name of Iesus Christ for the remission of sinnes: and ye shall receiue the gift of the holy Ghost.
2:39	For the promise is made vnto you, and to your children, and to all that are a farre off, euen as many as the Lord our God shall call.
2:40	And with many other words he besought and exhorted them, saying, Saue your selues from this froward generation.
2:41	Then they that gladly receiued his word, were baptized: and the same day there were added to the Church about three thousand soules.
2:42	And they continued in the Apostles doctrine, and fellowship, and breaking of bread, and prayers.
2:43	And feare came vpon euery soule: and many wonders and signes were done by ye Apostles.
2:44	And all that beleeued, were in one place, and had all things common.
2:45	And they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all me, as euery one had need.
2:46	And they continued dayly with one accord in the Temple, and breaking bread at home, did eate their meate together with gladnesse and singlenesse of heart,
2:47	Praysing God, and had fauour with all the people: and the Lord added to the Church from day to day, such as should be saued.


2:1	And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2:2	And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
2:3	And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
2:4	And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
2:5	And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
2:6	Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
2:7	And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
2:8	And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
2:9	Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
2:10	Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
2:11	Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
2:12	And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
2:13	Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
2:14	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:
2:15	For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
2:16	But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
2:17	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:
2:18	And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
2:19	And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
2:20	The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
2:21	And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
2:22	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:
2:23	Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
2:24	Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
2:25	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:
2:26	Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
2:27	Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
2:28	Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
2:29	Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
2:30	Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
2:31	He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
2:32	This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
2:33	Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
2:34	For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
2:35	Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
2:36	Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
2:37	Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
2:38	Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
2:39	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.
2:40	And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
2:41	Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
2:42	And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
2:43	And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
2:44	And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
2:45	And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
2:46	And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
2:47	Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
