| 1 | And on the fulfillment of the fiftieth day they were all together in the same place. |
| 2 | And suddenly there came from the heaven a noise just as a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. |
| 3 | And there appeared to them tongues like as fire being divided and set upon each one of them. |
| 4 | And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues just as the Spirit gave them to utter. |
| 5 | And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Judaeans, devout men from every nation under the heaven. |
| 6 | Then with the occurrence of this sound the multitude gathered and was confused, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. |
| 7 | And they were astonished and wondered saying "Behold, are not all of these who are speaking Galilaians? |
| 8 | Then how do we each hear in our own language, with which we were raised? |
| 9 | Parthians and Medes and Elamites and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, and Judaea and Kappadokia, Pontos and Asia, |
| 10 | and Phrugia and Pamphulia, Egypt and the regions of Libua throughout Kurene, and the Romans who were sojourning - |
| 11 | both Judaeans and converts - Kretans and Arabs, we hear their speaking in our own tongues the magnificent things of Yahweh." |
| 12 | And they were all astonished and perplexed, one saying to another: "What do you suppose this to be?" |
| 13 | But others scoffing said that "they are full of new wine." |
| 14 | Then Petros standing with the eleven raised his voice and spoke out to them: "Men, Judaeans, and all of those dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and hearken to my words. |
| 15 | For they are not intoxicated as you suspect, indeed it is the third hour of the day! |
| 16 | Rather this is that which was spoken through the prophet Ioel: |
| 17 | 'And it shall be in the days future, says Yahweh, I will pour out from My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your youths shall see visions, and your elders shall dream dreams. |
| 18 | And then upon My menservants and upon My maidservants in those days I will pour out from My Spirit and they shall prophesy. |
| 19 | And I shall make wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth below, blood and fire and a vapor of smoke. |
| 20 | The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming great day and appearance of Yahweh. |
| 21 | And it shall be that all who shall be called by the Name of Yahweh shall be preserved.' |
| 22 | Men, Israelites, hear these words! Yahshua the Nazoraian, a man appointed for you by Yahweh with powers and wonders and signs which Yahweh had done through Him in your midst even as you yourselves know, |
| 23 | He by the appointed will and foreknowledge of Yahweh was surrendered, who crucifying through lawless hands you have slain! |
| 24 | Whom Yahweh has resurrected, having undone the travails of death, in which manner it was not possible for Him to be held by it. |
| 25 | Indeed David said for Him: 'I saw Yahweh before my face continually, for He is on my right hand, that I am not shaken. |
| 26 | On account of this my heart has rejoiced, and my tongue has exulted, and further even my flesh shall rest in hope |
| 27 | because You shall not leave my soul behind in Hades, nor give over Your Sanctioned One to see corruption. |
| 28 | You have made known to me the ways of life. You shall fill me with gladness with Your presence.' |
| 29 | Men, brothers, I had to speak with frankness to you concerning the patriarch David, because he also has died and is buried, and his tomb is among us unto this day. |
| 30 | Therefore being a prophet and one who knows that Yahweh had sworn an oath to him that one from the fruit of his loins is to sit upon his throne, |
| 31 | having foreseen he had spoken concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that He would not be left behind in Hades nor His flesh see corruption. |
| 32 | This is Yahshua whom Yahweh has resurrected, of whom all of us are witnesses. |
| 33 | Therefore having been exalted with the right hand of Yahweh, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He has poured forth this, which you also see and hear. |
| 34 | For David had not gone up into the heavens, but he himself says: 'Yahweh said to my Master, sit at My right hand, |
| 35 | until I shall place Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet.' |
| 36 | Therefore all the house of Israel must know with certainty, that Yahweh also has made both His Prince and Christ that Yahshua whom you crucified!" |
| 37 | Now hearing they had pierced their hearts, and said to Petros and the rest of the ambassadors "Men, brothers, what should we do?" |
| 38 | And Petros to them: "Repent, it says, and each of you must be immersed in the Name of Yahshua Christ for remission of your errors and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
| 39 | For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all those in the distance, as many as the Prince our God should call." |
| 40 | And with many other words he affirmed and exhorted them saying "You must be saved from this crooked race!" |
| 41 | So then those accepting his account were immersed and they added in that day about three thousand souls. |
| 42 | And they were firmly adhering to the teaching of the ambassadors and in the fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in prayers. |
| 43 | And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs came through the ambassadors. |
| 44 | And all those believing were in the same place and held all things in common. |
| 45 | And possessions and belongings they sold and distributed them to all just as anyone had need. |
| 46 | And each day persevering with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at each house, they partook of food in exultation and in simplicity of heart, |
| 47 | praising Yahweh and having goodwill toward all the people. And the Prince added to those being saved daily in that place. |
