44:002:001 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

44:002:002 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

44:002:003 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

44:002:004 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

44:002:005 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

44:002:006 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

44:002:007 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

44:002:008 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

44:002:009 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

44:002:010 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

44:002:011 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

44:002:012 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

44:002:013 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

44:002:014 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:

44:002:015 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

44:002:016 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

44:002:017 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:

44:002:018 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

44:002:019 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

44:002:020 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

44:002:021 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

44:002:022 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:

44:002:023 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

44:002:024 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

44:002:025 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:

44:002:026 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

44:002:027 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

44:002:028 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
