1When the day of Pentecost came, all the believers were in the same place with one accord.[#2:1 in the same place with one accord 94.1% ¦ together in the same place CT 2.3%]
2Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3Divided tongues that looked like fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them.
4Then they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven dwelling in Jerusalem.
6When this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and they were bewildered because each one of them heard his own language being spoken.
7They were all astonished and amazed, saying to one another, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?[#2:7 all ¦ --- ECM* HF NA PCK SBL WH; #2:7 to one another 94.2% ¦ --- CT 2.7%]
8How then do we each hear them in our own native languages?
9Parthians, Medes, Elamites; those who dwell in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya that are near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism),
11Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking about the mighty acts of God in our own tongues.”
12They were all amazed and greatly perplexed, saying to one another, “What could this mean?”[#2:12 could ¦ does CT]
13But others scoffed at the believers, saying, “They are filled with new wine.”
14Then Peter stood up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and declared to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.
15These men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day.
16But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17‘In the last days, says God,
I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.
Your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
18Even upon my male and female servants
I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
19I will perform wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below:
blood, fire, and a mist of smoke.
20The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21And everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did through him in your midst, just as you yourselves well know,
23this man, who was delivered up by the deliberate plan and foreknowledge of God, you took and put to death, having him nailed to the cross by the hands of lawless men.[#2:23 took and 95.1% ¦ --- CT 2.7%]
24But God raised him up, releasing him from the pangs of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
25For David says about him,
‘I saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.
26Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced;
moreover, my flesh will dwell in hope.
27For yoʋ will not abandon my soul to Hades,
nor will yoʋ let yoʋr Holy One see corruption.
28Yoʋ have made known to me the paths of life;
yoʋ will fill me with joy by yoʋr presence.’
29“Brothers, I can say to you with confidence concerning our patriarch David that he died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30So then, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn an oath to him that from among his descendants, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,[#2:30 from among his descendants, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit 75.9% ¦ he would seat one of his descendants CT 2.4%]
31David foresaw what would happen and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, saying that his soul was not abandoned to Hades and that his flesh did not see corruption.[#2:31 his soul 68% ¦ he CT 1.6%]
32This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
33Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you now see and hear.[#2:33 now ¦ --- CT; #2:33 see ¦ both see NA WH]
34For David did not ascend to heaven, but he himself says,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand
35until I make yoʋr enemies a footstool for yoʋr feet.” ’
36Therefore, let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
38Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.[#2:38 sins 94.8% ¦ your sins ECM* NA SBL TH WH 1.8%]
39For this promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God calls to himself.”
40With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation.”
41Then those who gladly received his word were baptized, and about three thousand souls were added on that day.[#2:41 gladly ¦ --- CT]
42They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
43A sense of awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles.
44All who believed were together and had all things in common.
45They were selling their possessions and belongings, and distributing the proceeds to all, as anyone had need.
46Day by day as they continued meeting together with one accord in the temple courts and breaking bread from house to house, they shared food together with gladness and simplicity of heart,
47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.[#2:47–3:1 the church daily those who were being saved.
