View In My BibleThe Day of Pentecost
1 When 1the day of Pentecost ahad come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled 2the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire bdistributing themselves, and cthey drested on each one of them. 4 And they were all 3filled with the Holy Spirit and began to 4speak with other etongues, as the Spirit was giving them futterance. 5 Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, 5devout men from every nation under heaven. 6 And when 6this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own glanguage. 7 7They were amazed and astonished, saying, "hWhy, are not all these who are speaking 8Galileans ? 8 "And how is it that we each hear them in our own ilanguage jto which we were born ? 9 "Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and 9Cappadocia, 10Pontus and k11Asia, 10 12Phrygia and 13Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya around 14Cyrene, and l15visitors from Rome, both Jews and m16proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs -we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God." 12 And 17they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, "What does this mean ?" 13 But others were mocking and saying, "18They are full of nsweet wine."Peter's Sermon
14 But Peter, otaking his stand with 19the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: "Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words. 15 "For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, 20for it is only the pthird hour of the day ; 16 but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel : 17 '21AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL qMANKIND ; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS ; 18 EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT And they shall prophesy. 19 'AND I WILL GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW, BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE. 20 'THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME. 21 'AND IT SHALL BE THAT 22EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
