Acts 2

The Message Bible MSG

1 When the Feast of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

2 Without warning there was a sound like a strong wind, gale force - no one could tell where it came from. It filled the whole building.

3 Then, like a wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks,

4 and they started speaking in a number of different languages as the Spirit prompted them.

5 There were many Jews staying in Jerusalem just then, devout pilgrims from all over the world.

6 When they heard the sound, they came on the run. Then when they heard, one after another, their own mother tongues being spoken, they were thunderstruck.

7 They couldn't for the life of them figure out what was going on, and kept saying, "Aren't these all Galileans?

8 How come we're hearing them talk in our various mother tongues?

9 Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; Visitors from Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia,

10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene;

11 both Jews and proselytes; Even Cretans and Arabs! "They're speaking our languages, describing God's mighty works!"

12 Their heads were spinning; they couldn't make head or tail of any of it. They talked back and forth, confused: "What's going on here?"

13 Others joked, "They're drunk on cheap wine."

14 That's when Peter stood up and, backed by the other eleven, spoke out with bold urgency: "Fellow Jews, all of you who are visiting Jerusalem, listen carefully and get this story straight.

15 These people aren't drunk as some of you suspect. They haven't had time to get drunk - it's only nine o'clock in the morning.

16 This is what the prophet Joel announced would happen:

17 "In the Last Days," God says, "I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people: Your sons will prophesy, also your daughters; Your young men will see visions, your old men dream dreams.

18 When the time comes, I'll pour out my Spirit On those who serve me, men and women both, and they'll prophesy.

19 I'll set wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth below, Blood and fire and billowing smoke,

20 the sun turning black and the moon blood-red, Before the Day of the Lord arrives, the Day tremendous and marvelous;

21 And whoever calls out for help to me, God, will be saved."

22 "Fellow Israelites, listen carefully to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man thoroughly accredited by God to you - the miracles and wonders and signs that God did through him are common knowledge -

23 this Jesus, following the deliberate and well-thought-out plan of God, was betrayed by men who took the law into their own hands, and was handed over to you. And you pinned him to a cross and killed him.

24 But God untied the death ropes and raised him up. Death was no match for him.

25 David said it all: I saw God before me for all time. Nothing can shake me; he's right by my side.

26 I'm glad from the inside out, ecstatic; I've pitched my tent in the land of hope.

27 I know you'll never dump me in Hades; I'll never even smell the stench of death.

28 You've got my feet on the life-path, with your face shining sun-joy all around.

29 "Dear friends, let me be completely frank with you. Our ancestor David is dead and buried - his tomb is in plain sight today.

30 But being also a prophet and knowing that God had solemnly sworn that a descendant of his would rule his kingdom,

31 seeing far ahead, he talked of the resurrection of the Messiah - 'no trip to Hades, no stench of death.'

32 This Jesus, God raised up. And every one of us here is a witness to it.

33 Then, raised to the heights at the right hand of God and receiving the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out the Spirit he had just received. That is what you see and hear.

34 For David himself did not ascend to heaven, but he did say, God said to my Master, "Sit at my right hand

35 Until I make your enemies a stool for resting your feet."

36 "All Israel, then, know this: There's no longer room for doubt - God made him Master and Messiah, this Jesus whom you killed on a cross."

37 Cut to the quick, those who were there listening asked Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers! Brothers! So now what do we do?"

38 Peter said, "Change your life. Turn to God and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, so your sins are forgiven. Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39 The promise is targeted to you and your children, but also to all who are far away - whomever, in fact, our Master God invites."

40 He went on in this vein for a long time, urging them over and over, "Get out while you can; get out of this sick and stupid culture!"

41 That day about three thousand took him at his word, were baptized and were signed up.

42 They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the common meal, and the prayers.

43 Everyone around was in awe - all those wonders and signs done through the apostles!

44 And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common.

45 They sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person's need was met.

46 They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful,

47 as they praised God. People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et cum conplerentur dies pentecostes erant omnes pariter in eodem loco

2 et factus est repente de caelo sonus tamquam advenientis spiritus vehementis et replevit totam domum ubi erant sedentes

3 et apparuerunt illis dispertitae linguae tamquam ignis seditque supra singulos eorum

4 et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto et coeperunt loqui aliis linguis prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis

5 erant autem in Hierusalem habitantes Iudaei viri religiosi ex omni natione quae sub caelo sunt

6 facta autem hac voce convenit multitudo et mente confusa est quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes

7 stupebant autem omnes et mirabantur dicentes nonne omnes ecce isti qui loquuntur Galilaei sunt

8 et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque lingua nostra in qua nati sumus

9 Parthi et Medi et Elamitae et qui habitant Mesopotamiam et Iudaeam et Cappadociam Pontum et Asiam

10 Frygiam et Pamphiliam Aegyptum et partes Lybiae quae est circa Cyrenen et advenae romani

11 Iudaei quoque et proselyti Cretes et Arabes audivimus loquentes eos nostris linguis magnalia Dei

12 stupebant autem omnes et mirabantur ad invicem dicentes quidnam hoc vult esse

13 alii autem inridentes dicebant quia musto pleni sunt isti

14 stans autem Petrus cum undecim levavit vocem suam et locutus est eis viri iudaei et qui habitatis Hierusalem universi hoc vobis notum sit et auribus percipite verba mea

15 non enim sicut vos aestimatis hii ebrii sunt cum sit hora diei tertia

16 sed hoc est quod dictum est per prophetam Iohel

17 et erit in novissimis diebus dicit Dominus effundam de Spiritu meo super omnem carnem et prophetabunt filii vestri et filiae vestrae et iuvenes vestri visiones videbunt et seniores vestri somnia somniabunt

18 et quidem super servos meos et super ancillas meas in diebus illis effundam de Spiritu meo et prophetabunt

19 et dabo prodigia in caelo sursum et signa in terra deorsum sanguinem et ignem et vaporem fumi

20 sol convertetur in tenebras et luna in sanguinem antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus

21 et erit omnis quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini salvus erit

22 viri israhelitae audite verba haec Iesum Nazarenum virum adprobatum a Deo in vobis virtutibus et prodigiis et signis quae fecit per illum Deus in medio vestri sicut vos scitis

23 hunc definito consilio et praescientia Dei traditum per manus iniquorum adfigentes interemistis

24 quem Deus suscitavit solutis doloribus inferni iuxta quod inpossibile erat teneri illum ab eo

25 David enim dicit in eum providebam Dominum coram me semper quoniam a dextris meis est ne commovear

26 propter hoc laetatum est cor meum et exultavit lingua mea insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe

27 quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno neque dabis Sanctum tuum videre corruptionem

28 notas fecisti mihi vias vitae replebis me iucunditate cum facie tua

29 viri fratres liceat audenter dicere ad vos de patriarcha David quoniam et defunctus est et sepultus est et sepulchrum eius est apud nos usque in hodiernum diem

30 propheta igitur cum esset et sciret quia iureiurando iurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi eius sedere super sedem eius

31 providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi quia neque derelictus est in inferno neque caro eius vidit corruptionem

32 hunc Iesum resuscitavit Deus cui omnes nos testes sumus

33 dextera igitur Dei exaltatus et promissione Spiritus Sancti accepta a Patre effudit hunc quem vos videtis et audistis

34 non enim David ascendit in caelos dicit autem ipse dixit Dominus Domino meo sede a dextris meis

35 donec ponam inimicos tuos scabillum pedum tuorum

36 certissime ergo sciat omnis domus Israhel quia et Dominum eum et Christum Deus fecit hunc Iesum quem vos crucifixistis

37 his auditis conpuncti sunt corde et dixerunt ad Petrum et ad reliquos apostolos quid faciemus viri fratres

38 Petrus vero ad illos paenitentiam inquit agite et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Iesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum et accipietis donum Sancti Spiritus

39 vobis enim est repromissio et filiis vestris et omnibus qui longe sunt quoscumque advocaverit Dominus Deus noster

40 aliis etiam verbis pluribus testificatus est et exhortabatur eos dicens salvamini a generatione ista prava

41 qui ergo receperunt sermonem eius baptizati sunt et adpositae sunt in illa die animae circiter tria milia

42 erant autem perseverantes in doctrina apostolorum et communicatione fractionis panis et orationibus

43 fiebat autem omni animae timor multa quoque prodigia et signa per apostolos fiebant in Hierusalem et metus erat magnus in universis

44 omnes etiam qui credebant erant pariter et habebant omnia communia

45 possessiones et substantias vendebant et dividebant illa omnibus prout cuique opus erat

46 cotidie quoque perdurantes unianimiter in templo et frangentes circa domos panem sumebant cibum cum exultatione et simplicitate cordis

47 conlaudantes Deum et habentes gratiam ad omnem plebem Dominus autem augebat qui salvi fierent cotidie in id ipsum
