2:1	And whanne the daies of Pentecost weren fillid, alle the disciplis weren togidre in the same place.
2:2	And sodeynli ther was maad a sown fro heuene, as of a greet wynde comynge, and it fillide al the hous where thei saten.
2:3	And diuerse tungis as fier apperiden to hem, and it sat on ech of hem.
2:4	And alle weren fillid with the Hooli Goost, and thei bigunnen to speke diuerse langagis, as the Hooli Goost yaf to hem for to speke.
2:5	And ther weren in Jerusalem dwellinge Jewis, religiouse men, of ech nacioun that is vndur heuene.
2:6	And whanne this vois was maad, the multitude cam togidere, and thei weren astonyed in thouyt, for ech man herde hem spekinge in his langage.
2:7	And alle weren astonyed, and wondriden, and seiden togidere, Whether not alle these that speken ben men of Galyle,
2:8	and hou herden we ech man his langage in which we ben borun?
2:9	Parthi, and Medi, and Elamyte, and thei that dwellen at Mesopotami, Judee, and Capodosie, and Ponte,
2:10	and Asie, Frigie, and Pamfilie, Egipt, and the parties of Libie, that is aboue Sirenen, and `comelingis Romayns, and Jewis,
2:11	and proselitis, men of Crete, and of Arabie, we han herd hem spekynge in oure langagis the grete thingis of God.
2:12	And alle weren astonyed, and wondriden, `and seiden togidere, What wole this thing be?
2:13	And othere scorneden, and seiden, For these men ben ful of must.
2:14	But Petre stood with the enleuene, and reiside vp his vois, and spak to hem, Ye Jewis, and alle that dwellen at Jerusalem, be this knowun to you, and with eris perseyue ye my wordis.
2:15	For not as ye wenen, these ben dronkun, whanne it is the thridde our of the dai;
2:16	but this it is, that was seid bi the prophete Johel,
2:17	And it schal be in the laste daies, the Lord seith, Y schal helde out my spirit on ech fleisch; and youre sones and youre douytris schulen prophesie, and youre yonge men schulen se visiouns, and youre eldris schulen dreme sweuenes.
2:18	And on my seruauntis and myn handmaidens in tho daies Y schal schede out of my spirit, and thei schulen prophecie.
2:19	And Y schal yyue grete wondris in heuene aboue, and signes in erthe bynethe, blood, and fier, and heete of smoke.
2:20	The sunne schal be turned in to derknessis, and the moone in to blood, bifor that the greet and the opyn dai of the Lord come.
2:21	And it schal be, ech man which euere schal clepe to help the name of the Lord, schal be saaf.
2:22	Ye men of Israel, here ye these wordis. Jhesu of Nazareth, a man preued of God bifor you bi vertues, and wondris, and tokenes, which God dide bi hym in the myddil of you,
2:23	as ye witen, ye turmentiden, and killiden hym bi the hoondis of wyckid men, bi counseil determyned and bitakun bi the forknouwyng of God.
2:24	Whom God reiside, whanne sorewis of helle weren vnboundun, bi that that it was impossible that he were holdun of it.
2:25	For Dauid seith of hym, Y saiy afer the Lord bifore me euermore, for he is on my riythalf, that Y be not mouyd.
2:26	For this thing myn herte ioiede, and my tunge made ful out ioye, and more ouere my fleisch schal reste in hope.
2:27	For thou schalt not leeue my soule in helle, nethir thou schalt yiue thin hooli to se corrupcioun.
2:28	Thou hast maad knowun to me the weies of lijf, thou schalt fille me in myrthe with thi face.
2:29	Britheren, be it leueful boldli to seie to you of the patriark Dauid, for he is deed and biried, and his sepulcre is among vs in to this dai.
2:30	Therfore whanne he was a prophete, and wiste, that with a greet ooth God hadde sworn to hym, that of the fruyt of his leende schulde oon sitte on his seete,
2:31	he seynge afer spak of the resurreccioun of Crist, for nether he was left in helle, nether his fleisch saiy corrupcioun.
2:32	God reiside this Jhesu, to whom we alle ben witnessis.
2:33	Therfor he was enhaunsid bi the riythoond of God, and thorouy the biheest of the Hooli Goost that he took of the fadir, he schedde out this spirit, that ye seen and heren.
2:34	For Dauid stiede not in to heuene; but he seith, The Lord seide to my Lord,
2:35	Sitte thou on my riyt half, til Y putte thin enemyes a stool of thi feet.
2:36	Therfor moost certeynli wite al the hous of Israel, that God made hym bothe Lord and Crist, this Jhesu, whom ye crucefieden.
2:37	Whanne thei herden these thingis, thei weren compunct in herte; and thei seiden to Petre and othere apostlis, Britheren, what schulen we do?
2:38	And Petre seide to hem, Do ye penaunce, and eche of you be baptisid in the name of Jhesu Crist, in to remissioun of youre synnes; and ye schulen take the yifte of the Hooli Goost.
2:39	For the biheest is to you, and to youre sones, and to alle that ben fer, which euer oure Lord God hath clepid.
2:40	Also with othere wordis ful many he witnesside to hem, and monestide hem, and seide, Be ye sauyd fro this schrewid generacioun.
2:41	Thanne thei that resseyueden his word weren baptisid, and in that dai soulis weren encreesid, aboute thre thousinde;
2:42	and weren lastynge stabli in the teching of the apostlis, and in comynyng of the breking of breed, in preieris.
2:43	And drede was maad to ech man. And many wondris and signes weren don bi the apostlis in Jerusalem, and greet drede was in alle.
2:44	And alle that bileueden weren togidre, and hadden alle thingis comyn.
2:45	Thei selden possessiouns and catel, and departiden tho thingis to alle men, as it was nede to ech.
2:46	And ech dai thei dwelliden stabli with o wille in the temple, and braken breed aboute housis, and token mete with ful out ioye and symplenesse of herte,
2:47	and herieden togidere God, and hadden grace to al the folk. And the Lord encreside hem that weren maad saaf, ech dai in to the same thing.


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	Now when the Day of Pentecost had 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 the entire house where they were sitting.
2:3	Then there appeared to them divided tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
2:4	And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
2:5	And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
2:6	And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.
2:7	Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?
2:8	And how is it that we hear, each man in our own language in which we were born?
2:9	Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
2:10	Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and in the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, Jews and proselytes,
2:11	Cretans and Arabs, we hear them speaking in our own languages the wonderful works of God."
2:12	So they were all amazed and in doubt, saying to one another, "Whatever could this mean?"
2:13	Others mocking said, "They are full of new wine."
2:14	But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, "You men of Judea and all of you who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words.
2:15	Because, these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.
2:16	But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
2:17	'And it will come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
2:18	And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out of My Spirit in those days; and they will prophesy.
2:19	I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
2:20	The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.
2:21	And it will come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.'
2:22	"You men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man approved by God among you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did by Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know:
2:23	Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands, have crucified, and put to death;
2:24	whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
2:25	Because, David says concerning Him: 'I foresaw the LORD always before my face, because, He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
2:26	Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
2:27	Because, You will not leave my soul in the abode of the dead, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
2:28	You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.'
2:29	"Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to 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 body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
2:31	he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in the abode of the dead, nor did His flesh see corruption.
2:32	This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
2:33	Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.
2:34	"Because, David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand,
2:35	until I make Your enemies Your footstool."'
2:36	"Therefore let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ."
2:37	Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"
2:38	Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
2:39	Because, the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, that is to as many as the Lord our God will call."
2:40	And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this perverse generation."
2:41	Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
2:42	And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
2:43	Then reverence came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
2:44	Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,
2:45	and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all the people, as anyone had need.
2:46	So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
2:47	praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
