| 2:1 | And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place, |
| 2:2 | 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, |
| 2:3 | and there appeared to them divided tongues, as it were of fire; it sat also upon each one of them, |
| 2:4 | 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. |
| 2:5 | And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven, |
| 2:6 | 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, |
| 2:7 | and they were all amazed, and did wonder, saying one unto another, `Lo, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? |
| 2:8 | and how do we hear, each in our proper dialect, in which we were born? |
| 2:9 | Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, |
| 2:10 | Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that `are' along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes, |
| 2:11 | Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.' |
| 2:12 | And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one unto another, `What would this wish to be?' |
| 2:13 | and others mocking said, -- `They are full of sweet wine;' |
| 2:14 | 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, |
| 2:15 | for these are not drunken, as ye take it up, for it is the third hour of the day. |
| 2:16 | `But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel: |
| 2:17 | 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; |
| 2:18 | 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; |
| 2:19 | and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath -- blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke, |
| 2:20 | 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; |
| 2:21 | and it shall be, every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved. |
| 2:22 | `Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according as also ye yourselves have known; |
| 2:23 | this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified -- ye did slay; |
| 2:24 | whom God did raise up, having loosed the pains of the death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it, |
| 2:25 | for David saith in regard to him: I foresaw the Lord always before me -- because He is on my right hand -- that I may not be moved; |
| 2:26 | because of this was my heart cheered, and my tongue was glad, and yet -- my flesh also shall rest on hope, |
| 2:27 | because Thou wilt not leave my soul to hades, nor wilt Thou give Thy Kind One to see corruption; |
| 2:28 | Thou didst make known to me ways of life, Thou shalt fill me with joy with Thy countenance. |
| 2:29 | `Men, brethren! it is permitted to speak with freedom unto you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us unto this day; |
| 2:30 | a prophet, therefore, being, and knowing that with an oath God did swear to him, out of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit upon his throne, |
| 2:31 | having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again of the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. |
| 2:32 | `This Jesus did God raise up, of which we are all witnesses; |
| 2:33 | at the right hand then of God having been exalted -- also the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father -- he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear; |
| 2:34 | for David did not go up to the heavens, and he saith himself: The Lord saith to my lord, Sit thou at my right hand, |
| 2:35 | till I make thy foes thy footstool; |
| 2:36 | assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, that both Lord and Christ did God make him -- this Jesus whom ye did crucify.' |
| 2:37 | And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, `What shall we do, men, brethren?' |
| 2:38 | and Peter said unto them, `Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, |
| 2:39 | for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.' |
| 2:40 | Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, `Be saved from this perverse generation;' |
| 2:41 | then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls, |
| 2:42 | and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers. |
| 2:43 | And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles, |
| 2:44 | and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common, |
| 2:45 | and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need. |
| 2:46 | Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart, |
| 2:47 | praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly. |
| 2:1 | Whe the fyftith daye was come they were all with one accorde togeder in one place. |
| 2:2 | And sodenly ther cam a sounde from heaven as it had bene the comminge of a myghty wynde and it filled all the housse where they sate. |
| 2:3 | And ther appered vnto them cloven tonges lyke as they had bene fyre and it sate vpon eache of them: |
| 2:4 | and they were all filled with the holy goost and beganne to speake with other tonges even as the sprete gave them vtteraunce. |
| 2:5 | And ther were dwellinge at Ierusalem Iewes devoute men which were of all nacions vnder heaven. |
| 2:6 | When this was noysed aboute the multitude came to gether and were astonyed because that every man hearde the speake his awne touge. |
| 2:7 | They wondred all and marveyled sayinge amoge them selves: Beholde are not all these which speake of Galile? |
| 2:8 | And how heare we every man his awne touge wherein we were boren? |
| 2:9 | Parthians Medes and Elamytes and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia of Iury and of Capadocia of Ponthus and Asia |
| 2:10 | Phrigia Pamphilia and of Egypte and of the parties of Libia which is besyde Syrene and straungers of Rome Iewes and convertes |
| 2:11 | Grekes and Arabians: we have herde them speake with oure awne tonges the greate workes of God. |
| 2:12 | They were all amased and wondred sayinge one to another: what meaneth this? |
| 2:13 | Other mocked the sayinge: they are full of newe wyne. |
| 2:14 | But Peter stepped forth with the eleve and lift vp his voyce and sayde vnto them: Ye men of Iewrye and all ye that inhabite Ierusalem: be this knowe vnto you and with youre eares heare my wordes. |
| 2:15 | These are not dronken as ye suppose: for it is yet but the thyrde houre of ye daye. |
| 2:16 | But this is that which was spoken by ye Prophete Iohel: |
| 2:17 | It shalbe in the last dayes sayth God: of my sprete I will powre out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes and youre doughters shall prophesy and youre yoge men shall se visions and youre olde me shall dreme dremes. |
| 2:18 | And on my servauts and on my honde maydens I will powre out of my sprete in those dayes and they shall prophesye. |
| 2:19 | And I will shewe wonders in heaven a bove and tokens in the erth benethe bloud and fyre and the vapour of smoke. |
| 2:20 | The sunne shalbe turned into darknes and the mone into bloud before that greate and notable daye of the Lorde come. |
| 2:21 | And it shalbe that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lorde shalbe saved. |
| 2:22 | Ye men of Israel heare these wordes. Iesus of Nazareth a ma approved of God amoge you with myracles wondres and signes which God dyd by him in ye myddes of you as ye youre selves knowe: |
| 2:23 | him have ye taken by the hondes of vnrightewes persones after he was delivered by the determinat counsell and foreknoweledge of God and have crucified and slayne: |
| 2:24 | whom God hath raysed vp and lowsed the sorowes of deeth because it was vnpossible that he shuld be holden of it. |
| 2:25 | For David speaketh of him: Afore honde I sawe God alwayes before me: For he is on my ryght honde that I shuld not be moved. |
| 2:26 | Therfore dyd my hert reioyce and my tonge was glad. Moreover also my flesshe shall rest in hope |
| 2:27 | because thou wilt not leve my soul in hell nether wilt suffre thyne holye to se corrupcio. |
| 2:28 | Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe and shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce. |
| 2:29 | Men and brethren let me frely speake vnto you of the partriarke David: For he is both deed and buryed and his sepulcre remayneth with vs vnto this daye. |
| 2:30 | Therfore seinge he was a Prophet and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him that the frute of his loynes shuld sit on his seat (in that Christ shulde ryse agayne in the flesshe) |
| 2:31 | he sawe before: and spake in the resurreccion of Christ that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether his flesse shuld se corrupcio. |
| 2:32 | This Iesus hath God raysyd vp wherof we all are witnesses. |
| 2:33 | Sence now that he by the right honde of God exalted is and hath receaved of the father the promyse of the holy goost he hath sheed forthe that which ye nowe se and heare. |
| 2:34 | For David is not ascendyd into heave: but he sayde. The Lorde sayde to my Lorde sit on my right honde |
| 2:35 | vntill I make thy fooes thy fote stole. |
| 2:36 | So therfore let all the housse of Israel knowe for a suerty yt God hath made ye same Iesus whom ye have crucified lorde and Christ. |
| 2:37 | When they hearde this they were pricked in their hertes and sayd vnto Peter and vnto the other Apostles: Ye men and brethre what shall we do? |
| 2:38 | Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of synnes and ye shall receave the gyfte of the holy goost. |
| 2:39 | For ye promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldre and to all that are afarre even as many as ye Lorde oure God shall call. |
| 2:40 | And with many other wordes bare he witnes and exhorted them sayinge: Save youre selves from this vntowarde generacion. |
| 2:41 | Then they that gladly receaved his preachynge were baptised: and the same daye ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules. |
| 2:42 | And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and felloushippe and in breakinge of breed and in prayer. |
| 2:43 | And feare came over every soule. And many wondres and signes were shewed by the Apostles. |
| 2:44 | And all that beleved kept them selves to gedder and had all thinges comen |
| 2:45 | and solde their possessions and goodes and departed them to all men as every man had nede. |
| 2:46 | And they continued dayly with one acorde in the teple and brake breed in every housse and dyd eate their meate to gedder with gladnes and singlenes of hert |
| 2:47 | praysinge God and had faveour with all the people. And the Lorde added to ye congregacion dayly soche as shuld be saved. |
| 2:1 | And whan the Whit sondaye was fulfylled, they were all with one acorde together in one place. |
| 2:2 | And sodenly there came a sounde from heauen, as it had bene the comynge of a mightie wynde, and it fylled the whole house where they sat. |
| 2:3 | And there appeared vnto them clouen tunges, like as they had bene of fyre. And he sat vpon ech one of them, |
| 2:4 | and they were all fylled with the holy goost. And they beganne to preach with other tunges, euen as the sprete gaue them vtteraunce. |
| 2:5 | There were dwellinge at Ierusalem Iewes, men that feared God, out of euery nacion that is vnder heauen. |
| 2:6 | Now whan this voyce came to passe, the multitude came together, and were astonyed: For euery one herde, that they spake with his awne tunge. |
| 2:7 | They wondred all and marueyled, and sayde amonge them selues: Beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile? |
| 2:8 | How heare we the euery one his awne tunge, wherin we were borne? |
| 2:9 | Parthians and Medes, and Elamites, and we that dwell in Mesopotamia, and in Iewry and Capadocia, Pontus, and Asia, |
| 2:10 | Phrigia and Pamphilia, Egipte, and in the partes of Lybia by Cyren, and straungers of Rome, Iewes and Proselytes, |
| 2:11 | Cretes and Arabians: we heare them speake with oure awne tunges the greate workes of God. |
| 2:12 | They were all amased, and wondred, and sayde one to another: What wil this be? |
| 2:13 | But other mocked them, and sayde: They are full of swete wyne. |
| 2:14 | Then stode Peter vp with the eleuen, and lift vp his voyce, and sayde vnto them: Ye men of Iewry, and all ye that dwell at Ierusale, be this knowne vnto you, and let my wordes entre in at youre eares. |
| 2:15 | For these are not dronken, as ye suppose, for it is yet but the thirde houre of ye daye: |
| 2:16 | but this is it, that was spoke before by the prophet Ioel: |
| 2:17 | And it shal come to passe in the last dayes, sayeth God, I will poure out of my sprete vpon all flesh, and youre sonnes and youre doughters shal prophecye, and youre yonge men shal se visions and youre olde men shall dreame dreames, |
| 2:18 | and on my seruauntes and on my handmaydens wyll I poure out of my sprete in those dayes, & they shal prophecye. |
| 2:19 | And I wil shewe wonders in heauen aboue, and tokens on the earth beneth, bloude and fyre, and the vapoure of smoke. |
| 2:20 | The Sonne shalbe turned in to darknesse, and the Moone in to bloude, before that greate and notable daye of the LORDE come. |
| 2:21 | And it shall come to passe, Who so euer shal call vpo the name of the LORDE, shalbe saued. |
| 2:22 | Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth, ye man approued of God amonge you with miracles, and wonders and tokens, which God dyd by him in the myddes amonge you, as ye yor selues knowe also, |
| 2:23 | him (after that he was delyuered by the determinate councell and foreknowlege of God) haue ye taken by the handes of vnrighteous personnes, and crucifyed him, & slayne him, |
| 2:24 | who God hath raysed vp, and lowsed the sorowes of death, for so moch as it was vnpossyble that he shulde be holden of it. |
| 2:25 | For Dauid speaketh of him: Afore honde haue I set the LORDE allwayes before me, for he is on my right hode, that I shulde not be moued. |
| 2:26 | Therfore dyd my hert reioyse, and my tunge was glad: For my flesh also shal rest in hope. |
| 2:27 | For thou shalt not leaue my soule in hell, nether shalt thou suffer yi Holy to se corrupcion. |
| 2:28 | Thou hast shewed me the wayes of life, thou shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce. |
| 2:29 | Ye men and brethren, let me frely speake vnto you of the Patryarke Dauid: For he is deed and buried, and his sepulcre is with vs vnto this daye. |
| 2:30 | Wherfore now seinge yt he was a prophet, and knewe that God had promised him with an ooth, that the frute of his loynes shulde syt on his seate, |
| 2:31 | he sawe it before, and spake of the resurreccion of Christ: for his soule was not left in hell, nether hath his flesh sene corrupcion. |
| 2:32 | This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses. |
| 2:33 | Seynge now that he by the right hande of God is exalted, and hath receaued of ye father ye promyse of the holy goost, he hath shed forth this, that ye se and heare. |
| 2:34 | For Dauid is not ascended in to heauen, but he sayde: The LORDE sayde vnto my LORDE: Syt thou on my righte hande, |
| 2:35 | vntyll I make thine enemies yi fote stole. |
| 2:36 | So therfore let all the house of Israel knowe for a suertye, yt God hath made this same Iesus (whom ye haue crucified) LORDE and Christ. |
| 2:37 | Whan they herde this, their hert pricked them, and they sayde vnto Peter and to the other Apostles: Ye men and brethre, What shal we do? |
| 2:38 | Peter sayde onto them: Amede youre selues, and let euery one of you be baptysed in the name of Iesus Christ, for the remyssion of synnes, and ye shal receaue the gifte of the holy goost. |
| 2:39 | For this promyse was made vnto you and youre children, and to all that are farre of, who so euer the LORDE oure God shal call. |
| 2:40 | And wt many other wordes bare he witnesse, and exorted them, and sayde: Saue youre selues from this vntowarde generacion. |
| 2:41 | They that gladly receaued his preachinge, were baptysed, & the same daye there were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules. |
| 2:42 | They contynued in the Apostles doctryne, and in the felashippe, and in breakynge of bred, and in prayer. |
| 2:43 | And feare came vpo euery soule, and many wonders and tokens were done by ye Apostles. |
| 2:44 | But all they that beleued, were together, and had all thinges commen. |
| 2:45 | They solde their goodes and possessions, and parted them out amonge all, acordinge as euery ma had nede. |
| 2:46 | And they contynued daylie with one acorde in the teple, and brake bred in euery house: they toke their meate with ioye & synglenesse of hert, |
| 2:47 | praysinge God, and had fauoure with all ye people. And the LORDE added to the congregacion daylie soch as shulde be saued. |
