Dual Panel1Now when the day <2250> of Pentecost <4005> had come <4845>, they were <1510> all <3956> together <3674> in <1909> one place <846>.
2Suddenly <869> a sound <2279> like <5618> a violent <972> wind <4157> blowing <5342> came <1096> from <1537> heaven <3772> and <2532> filled <4137> the entire <3650> house <3624> where <3757> they were <1510> sitting <2521>.
3And <2532> tongues <1100> spreading out <1266> like <5616> a fire <4442> appeared <3700> to them <846> and <2532> came to rest <2523> on <1909> each <1538> one <1520> of them <846>.
4All of them <3956> were filled <4130> with the Holy <40> Spirit <4151>, and <2532> they began <756> to speak <2980> in other <2087> languages <1100> as <2531> the Spirit <4151> enabled <1325> <669> them <846>.
5Now there were <1510> devout <2126> Jews <2453> from <575> every <3956> nation <1484> under <5259> heaven <3772> residing <2730> in <1722> Jerusalem <2419>.
6When <1096> this <3778> sound <5456> occurred <1096>, a crowd <4128> gathered <4905> and <2532> was in confusion <4797>, because <3754> each <1538> one <1520> heard <191> them <846> speaking <2980> in his own <2398> language <1258>.
7Completely baffled <1839> <2296>, they said <3004>, “Aren’t <3780> all <3956> these <3778> who are <1510> speaking <2980> Galileans <1057>?
8And <2532> how is it <4459> that each one <1538> of us <2249> hears <191> them in our own <2398> native <1722> <3739> <1080> language <1258>?
9Parthians <3934>, Medes <3370>, Elamites <1639>, and <2532> residents <2730> of Mesopotamia <3318>, Judea <2449> and <2532> Cappadocia <2587>, Pontus <4195> and <2532> the province of Asia <773>,
10Phrygia <5435> and <2532> Pamphylia <3828>, Egypt <125> and <2532> the parts <3313> of Libya <3033> near <2596> Cyrene <2957>, and <2532> visitors <1927> from Rome <4514>,
11both Jews and proselytes, Cretans <2912> and <2532> Arabs <690>– we hear <191> them <846> speaking <2980> in our own <2251> languages <1100> about the great deeds <3167> God <2316> has done!”
12All <3956> were astounded <1839> and <2532> greatly confused <1280>, saying <243> to <4314> one another <243>, another <243>, “What <5101> does <1510> this <5124> mean <1510>?”
13But <1161> others <2087> jeered <5512> at the speakers, saying <3004>, “They are <1510> drunk <3325> on new wine <1098>!”
14But <1161> Peter <4074> stood up <2476> with <4862> the eleven <1733>, raised <1869> his <846> voice <5456>, and <2532> addressed <669> them <846>: “You men <435> of Judea <2453> and <2532> all <3956> you <5213> who live <2730> in Jerusalem <2419>, know <1110> this and <2532> listen carefully <1801> to what I <3450> say <4487>.
15In spite of <1063> <5613> what you <5210> think <5274>, these men <3778> are <3184> not <3756> drunk <3184>, for <1063> it is <1510> only nine <5154> o’clock <5610> in the morning <5154>.
16But <235> this <5124> is <1510> what was spoken <2046> about through <1223> the prophet <4396> Joel <2493>:
17‘And <2532> in <1722> the last <2078> days <2250> it will be <1510>,’ God <2316> says <3004>, ‘that I will pour out <1632> my <3450> Spirit <4151> on <1909> all <3956> people <4561>, and <2532> your <5216> sons <5207> and <2532> your <5216> daughters <2364> will prophesy <4395>, and <2532> your <5216> young men <3495> will see <3700> visions <3706>, and <2532> your <5216> old men <4245> will dream <1797> dreams <1798>.
18Even <1065> on <1909> my <3450> servants, both <2532> men <1401> and women <1399>, I will pour out <1632> my <3450> Spirit <4151> in <1722> those <1565> days <2250>, and <2532> they will prophesy <4395>.
19And <2532> I will perform <1325> wonders <5059> in <1722> the sky <3772> above <507> and <2532> miraculous signs <4592> on <1909> the earth <1093> below <2736>, blood <129> and <2532> fire <4442> and <2532> clouds <822> of smoke <2586>.
20The sun <2246> will be changed <3344> to <1519> darkness <4655> and <2532> the moon <4582> to <1519> blood <129> before <4250> the great <3173> and <2532> glorious <2016> day <2250> of the Lord <2962> comes <2064>.
21And <2532> then everyone <3956> who <3739> calls <1941> on the name <3686> of <2962> the Lord <2962> will be saved <4982>.’
22“Men <435> of Israel <2475>, listen <191> to these <5128> words <3056>: Jesus <2424> the Nazarene <3480>, a man <435> clearly attested <584> to <1519> you <5209> by <575> God <2316> with powerful deeds <1411>, wonders <5059>, and <2532> miraculous signs <4592> that <3739> God <2316> performed <4160> among <3319> you <5216> through <1223> him <846>, just <2531> as you <1492> yourselves <846> know <1492>–
23this <5126> man, who was handed over by the predetermined <3724> plan <1012> and <2532> foreknowledge <4268> of God <2316>, you executed <337> by <1223> nailing <4362> him to a cross <4362> at the hands <5495> of Gentiles <459>.
24But God <2316> raised <450> him up <450>, having released <3089> him from the pains <5604> of death <2288>, because <2530> it was <1510> not <3756> possible <1415> for him <846> to be held <2902> in <5259> its power <846>.
25For <1063> David <1138> says <3004> about <1519> him <846>, ‘I saw <4309> the Lord <2962> always in front of <1799> me <3450>, for <1223> he is <1510> at <1537> my <3450> right hand <1188> so that <2443> I will <4531> not <3361> be shaken <4531>.
26Therefore <5124> my <3450> heart <2588> was glad <2165> and <2532> my <3450> tongue <1100> rejoiced <21>; my <3450> body <4561> also <2532> will live <2681> in <1909> hope <1680>,
27because <3754> you will <1459> not <3756> leave <1459> my <3450> soul <5590> in <1519> Hades <86>, nor <3761> permit <1325> your <4675> Holy One <3741> to experience <1492> decay <1312>.
28You have made known <1107> to me <3427> the paths <3598> of life <2222>; you will make <4137> me <3165> full <4137> of joy <2167> with <3326> your <4675> presence <4383>.’
29“Brothers <435> <80>, I can <1832> speak <2036> confidently <3326> <3954> to <4314> you <5209> about <4012> our forefather <3966> David <1138>, that <3754> he <5053> both <2532> died <5053> and <2532> was buried <2290>, and <2532> his <846> tomb <3418> is <1510> with <1722> us <2254> to <891> this <3778> day <2250>.
30So <3767> then, because he was <5225> a prophet <4396> and <2532> knew <1492> that <3754> God <2316> had sworn <3660> to him <846> with an oath <3727> to seat <2523> one of <1537> his <846> descendants <2590> <3751> on <1909> his <846> throne <2362>,
31David by foreseeing <4275> this spoke <2980> about <4012> the resurrection <386> of the Christ <5547>, that <3754> he was <1459> neither <3777> abandoned <1459> to <1519> Hades <86>, nor <3777> did his <846> body <4561> experience <1492> decay <1312>.
32This <5126> Jesus <2424> God <2316> raised up <450>, and we <2249> are <1510> all <3956> witnesses <3144> of it.
33So then <3767>, exalted <5312> to the right hand <1188> of God <2316>, and <5037> having received <2983> the promise <1860> of the Holy <40> Spirit <4151> from <3844> the Father <3962>, he has poured out <1632> what <3739> you <5210> both <2532> see <991> and <2532> hear <191>.
34For <1063> David <1138> did <305> not <3756> ascend <305> into <1519> heaven <3772>, but <1161> he <3004> himself <846> says <3004>, ‘The Lord <2962> said <2036> to my <3450> lord <2962>, “Sit <2521> at <1537> my <3450> right hand <1188>
35until <2193> I make <5087> your <4675> enemies <2190> a footstool <5286> for your <4675> feet <4228>.”’
36Therefore <3767> let all <3956> the house <3624> of Israel <2474> know <1097> beyond a doubt <806> that <3754> God <2316> has made <4160> this <5126> Jesus <2424> whom <3739> you <5210> crucified <4717> both <2532> Lord <2962> and <2532> Christ <5547>.”
37Now when <191> they heard <191> this, they were acutely distressed <2660> and said <2036> to <4314> Peter <4074> and <2532> the rest <3062> of the apostles <652>, “What <5101> should we do <4160>, brothers <435> <80>?”
38Peter <4074> said to <4314> them <846>, “Repent <3340>, and <2532> each one <1538> of you <5216> be baptized <907> in <1722> the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for <1519> the forgiveness <859> of your <5216> sins <266>, and <2532> you will receive <2983> the gift <1431> of the Holy <40> Spirit <4151>.
39For <1063> the promise <1860> is <1510> for you <5213> and <2532> your <5216> children <5043>, and <2532> for all <3956> who are far away <3112>, as many as <3745> the Lord <2962> our <2257> God <2316> will call <4341> to himself.”
40With many <4119> other <2087> words <3056> he testified <1263> and <2532> exhorted <3870> them <846> saying <3004>, “Save yourselves <4982> from <575> this <3778> perverse <4646> generation <1074>!”
41So <3767> those who accepted <588> his <846> message <3056> were baptized <907>, and <2532> that <1565> day <2250> about <5616> three thousand <5153> people <5590> were added <4369>.
42They were <1510> devoting <4342> themselves to the apostles <652>’ teaching <1322> and <2532> to fellowship <2842>, to the breaking <2800> of bread <740> and <2532> to prayer <4335>.
43Reverential awe <5590> <5401> came over <1096> everyone <3956>, and many <4183> wonders <5059> and <2532> miraculous signs <4592> came about <1096> by <1223> the apostles <652>.
44All <3956> who believed <4100> were together and held everything <537> in common <2839>,
45and <2532> they began selling <4097> their property <2933> and <2532> possessions <5223> and <2532> distributing <1266> the proceeds to everyone <3956>, as <2530> anyone <5100> had <2192> need <5532>.
46Every <2596> day <2250> they continued <4342> to gather together by common consent <3661> in <1722> the temple courts <2411>, breaking <2806> bread <740> from house to house <2596> <3624>, sharing <3335> their food <5160> with <1722> glad <20> and <2532> humble <858> hearts <2588>,
47praising <134> God <2316> and <2532> having <2192> the good will <5485> of all <3650> the people <2992>. And <1161> the Lord <2962> was adding <4369> to <1909> their number <846> every <2596> day <2250> those who were being saved <4982>.
