Dual Panel1When<1722> the day<2250> of Pentecost<4005> had come<4845>, they were all<3956> together<3674> in one<846> place.
2And suddenly<869> there came<1096> from heaven<3772> a noise<2279> like<5618> a violent<972> rushing<5342> wind<4157>, and it filled<4137> the whole<3650> house<3624> where<3757> they were sitting<2521>.
3And there appeared<3708> to them tongues<1100> as of fire<4442> distributing<1266> themselves, and they rested<2523> on each<1538> one<1520> of them.
4And they were all<3956> filled<4092> with the Holy<40> Spirit<4151> and began<757> to speak<2980> with other<2087> tongues<1100>, as the Spirit<4151> was giving<1325> them utterance<669>.
5Now<1161> there were Jews<2453> living<2730> in Jerusalem<2419>, devout<2126> men<435> from every<3956> nation<1484> under<5259> heaven<3772>.
6And when this<3778> sound<5456> occurred<1096>, the crowd<4128> came<4905> together<4905>, and were bewildered<4797> because<3754> each<1538> one<1520> of them was hearing<191> them speak<2980> in his own<2398> language<1258>.
7They were amazed<1839> and astonished<2296>, saying<3004>, "Why<2400>, are not all<3956> these<3778> who are speaking<2980> Galileans<1057>?
8"And how<4459> is it that we each<1538> hear<191> them in our own<2398> language<1258> to which<3739> we were born<1080>?
9"Parthians<3934> and Medes<3370> and Elamites<1639>, and residents<2730> of Mesopotamia<3318>, Judea<2453> and Cappadocia<2587>, Pontus<4195> and Asia<773>,
10Phrygia<5435> and Pamphylia<3828>, Egypt<125> and the districts<3313> of Libya<3033> around<2596> Cyrene<2957>, and visitors<1927> from Rome<4514>, both<5037> Jews<2453> and proselytes<4339>,
11Cretans<2912> and Arabs<690>--we hear<191> them in our own tongues<1100> speaking<2980> of the mighty<3167> deeds<3167> of God<2316>."
12And they all<3956> continued in amazement<1839> and great<1280> perplexity<1280>, saying<3004> to one<243> another<243>, "What<5101> does this<3778> mean<2309><1510>?"
13But others<2087> were mocking<1315> and saying<3004>, "They are full<3325> of sweet<1098> wine<1098>."
14But Peter<4074>, taking<2476> his stand<2476> with the eleven<1733>, raised<1869> his voice<5456> and declared<669> to them: "Men<435> of Judea<2453> and all<3956> you who live<2730> in Jerusalem<2419>, let this<3778> be known<1110> to you and give<1801> heed<1801> to my words<4487>.
15"For these<3778> men<3778> are not drunk<3184>, as you suppose<5274>, for it is only the third<5154> hour<5610> of the day<2250>;
16but this<3778> is what was spoken<3004> of through<1223> the prophet<4396> Joel<2493>:
17'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST<2078> DAYS<2250>,' God<2316> says<3004>, 'THAT I WILL POUR<1632> FORTH<1632> OF MY SPIRIT<4151> ON ALL<3956> MANKIND<4561>; AND YOUR SONS<5207> AND YOUR DAUGHTERS<2364> SHALL PROPHESY<4395>, AND YOUR YOUNG<3495> MEN<3495> SHALL SEE<3708> VISIONS<3706>, AND YOUR OLD<4245> MEN<4245> SHALL DREAM<1797> DREAMS<1798>;
18EVEN<2532> ON MY BONDSLAVES<1401>, BOTH MEN<1401> AND WOMEN<1401>, I WILL IN THOSE<1565> DAYS<2250> POUR<1632> FORTH<1632> OF MY SPIRIT<4151> And they shall prophesy<4395>.
19'AND I WILL GRANT<1325> WONDERS<5059> IN THE SKY<3772> ABOVE<507> AND SIGNS<4592> ON THE EARTH<1093> BELOW<2736>, BLOOD<129>, AND FIRE<4442>, AND VAPOR<822> OF SMOKE<2586>.
20'THE SUN<2246> WILL BE TURNED<3344> INTO DARKNESS<4655> AND THE MOON<4582> INTO BLOOD<129>, BEFORE<4250> THE GREAT<3173> AND GLORIOUS<2016> DAY<2250> OF THE LORD<2962> SHALL COME<2064>.
21'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE<3956> WHO<3739> CALLS<1941> ON THE NAME<3686> OF THE LORD<2962> WILL BE SAVED<4982>.'
22"Men<435> of Israel<2475>, listen<191> to these<3778> words<3056>: Jesus<2424> the Nazarene<3480>, a man<435> attested<584> to you by God<2316> with miracles<1411> and wonders<5059> and signs<4592> which<3739> God<2316> performed<4160> through<1223> Him in your midst<3319>, just<2531> as you yourselves<846> know<3609>--
23this<3778> Man, delivered<1560> over by the predetermined<3724> plan<1012> and foreknowledge<4268> of God<2316>, you nailed<4362> to a cross<4362> by the hands<5495> of godless<459> men<459> and put<337> Him to death<337>.
24"But God<2316> raised<450> Him up again<450>, putting<3089> an end<3089> to the agony<5604> of death<2288>, since<2530> it was impossible<3756><1415> for Him to be held<2902> in its power<5259>.
25"For David<1160> says<3004> of Him, 'I SAW<4308> THE LORD<2962> ALWAYS<1223><3956> IN MY PRESENCE<1799>; FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT<1188> HAND<1188>, SO<2443> THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN<4531>.
26'THEREFORE<1223><3778> MY HEART<2588> WAS GLAD<2165> AND MY TONGUE<1100> EXULTED<21>; MOREOVER<2089><1161> MY FLESH<4561> ALSO<2532> WILL LIVE<2681> IN HOPE<1680>;
27BECAUSE<3754> YOU WILL NOT ABANDON<1459> MY SOUL<5590> TO HADES<86>, NOR<3761> ALLOW<1325> YOUR HOLY<3741> ONE<3741> TO UNDERGO<3708> DECAY<1312>.
28'YOU HAVE MADE<1107> KNOWN<1107> TO ME THE WAYS<3598> OF LIFE<2222>; YOU WILL MAKE<4137> ME FULL<4137> OF GLADNESS<2167> WITH YOUR PRESENCE<4383>.'
29"Brethren<435><80>, I may<1832> confidently<3954> say<3004> to you regarding<4012> the patriarch<3966> David<1160> that he both<2532> died<5053> and was buried<2290>, and his tomb<3418> is with us to this<3778> day<2250>.
30"And so<3767>, because he was a prophet<4396> and knew<3609> that GOD<2316> HAD SWORN<3660> TO HIM WITH AN OATH<3727> TO SEAT<2523> one OF HIS DESCENDANTS<2590><3751> ON HIS THRONE<2362>,
31he looked<4275> ahead<4275> and spoke<2980> of the resurrection<386> of the Christ<5547>, that HE WAS NEITHER<3777> ABANDONED<1459> TO HADES<86>, NOR<3777> DID His flesh<4561> SUFFER<3708> DECAY<1312>.
32"This<3778> Jesus<2424> God<2316> raised<450> up again<450>, to which<3739> we are all<3956> witnesses<3144>.
33"Therefore<3767> having been exalted<5312> to the right<1188> hand<1188> of God<2316>, and having received<2983> from the Father<3962> the promise<1860> of the Holy<40> Spirit<4151>, He has poured<1632> forth<1632> this<3778> which<3739> you both<2532> see<991> and hear<191>.
34"For it was not David<1160> who ascended<305> into heaven<3772>, but he himself<846> says<3004>: 'THE LORD<2962> SAID<3004> TO MY LORD<2962>, "SIT<2521> AT MY RIGHT<1188> HAND<1188>,
35UNTIL<2193> I MAKE<5087> YOUR ENEMIES<2190> A FOOTSTOOL<5286> FOR YOUR FEET<4228>."'
36"Therefore<3767> let all<3956> the house<3624> of Israel<2274> know<1097> for certain<806> that God<2316> has made<4160> Him both<2532> Lord<2962> and Christ<5547>--this<3778> Jesus<2424> whom<3739> you crucified<4717>."
37Now<1161> when they heard<191> this, they were pierced<2660> to the heart<2588>, and said<3004> to Peter<4074> and the rest<3062> of the apostles<652>, "Brethren<435><80>, what<5101> shall we do<4160>?"
38Peter<4074> said to them, "Repent<3340>, and each<1538> of you be baptized<907> in the name<3686> of Jesus<2424> Christ<5547> for the forgiveness<859> of your sins<266>; and you will receive<2983> the gift<1431> of the Holy<40> Spirit<4151>.
39"For the promise<1860> is for you and your children<5043> and for all<3956> who<3588> are far<3112> off<3112>, as many<3745> as the Lord<2962> our God<2316> will call<4341> to Himself."
40And with many<4183> other<2087> words<3056> he solemnly<1263> testified<1263> and kept on exhorting<3870> them, saying<3004>, "Be saved<4982> from this<3778> perverse<4646> generation<1074>!"
41So<3767> then<3767>, those<3588> who had received<588> his word<3056> were baptized<907>; and that day<2250> there were added<4369> about<5616> three<5153> thousand<5153> souls<5590>.
42They were continually<4342> devoting<4342> themselves<4342> to the apostles'<652> teaching<1322> and to fellowship<2842>, to the breaking<2800> of bread<740> and to prayer<4335>.
43Everyone<3956> kept feeling<1096> a sense<5401> of awe<5401>; and many<4183> wonders<5059> and signs<4592> were taking<1096> place<1096> through<1223> the apostles<652>.
44And all<3956> those<3588> who had believed<4100> were together<1909><3588><846> and had<2192> all<537> things<537> in common<2839>;
45and they began selling<4097> their property<2933> and possessions<5223> and were sharing<1266> them with all<3956>, as anyone<5100> might have<2192> need<5532>.
46Day<2250> by day<2250> continuing<4342> with one<3661> mind<3661> in the temple<2413>, and breaking<2806> bread<740> from house<3624> to house<3624>, they were taking<3335> their meals<5160> together<3335> with gladness<20> and sincerity<858> of heart<2588>,
47praising<134> God<2316> and having<2192> favor<5485> with all<3650> the people<2992>. And the Lord<2962> was adding<4369> to their number<846> day<2250> by day<2250> those<3588> who were being saved<4982>.
