1When the day of Pentecost had arrived, they were all together in one place.[#2:1 Lv 23:15; Ac 1:14; 20:16]
2Suddenly a sound like that of a violent rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were staying.[#2:2 1Kg 19:11; Jb 38:1; Ezk 1:4; #2:2 Ac 4:31; 16:26]
3They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and rested on each one of them.
4Then they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them.[#2:4 Ac 4:31; 13:52; #2:4 languages, also in v. 11; #2:4 Mk 16:17; 1Co 12:10]
5Now there were Jews staying in Jerusalem, devout people from every nation under heaven.[#2:5 Mt 28:19; Rm 1:5; Gl 1:16]
6When this sound occurred, a crowd came together and was confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7They were astounded and amazed, saying, ‘Look, aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?[#2:7 Other mss add to one another; #2:7 Ac 1:11; 2:12]
8How is it that each of us can hear them in our own native language?
9Parthians, Medes, Elamites; those who live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[#2:9 Gn 14:9; 2Kg 17:6]
10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts),[#2:10 Mt 23:15; Ac 13:13; 15:38; 16:6,21; 18:23]
11Cretans and Arabs #– #we hear them declaring the magnificent acts of God in our own tongues.’
12They were all astounded and perplexed, saying to one another, ‘What does this mean? ’
13But some sneered and said, ‘They’re drunk on new wine.’[#2:13 Ac 17:32; 1Co 14:23]
14Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them, ‘Fellow Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and pay attention to my words.
15For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it’s only nine in the morning.[#2:15 Lit it’s the third hour of the day]
16On the contrary, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
22‘Fellow Israelites, listen to these words: This Jesus of Nazareth was a man attested to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did among you through him, just as you yourselves know.[#2:22 Jn 3:2; 4:48; Ac 10:38; Heb 2:4]
23Though he was delivered up according to God’s determined plan and foreknowledge, you used lawless people to nail him to a cross and kill him.[#2:23 Other mss read you have taken; #2:23 Mt 26:24; Lk 22:22; 24:20; Ac 3:18; 4:28; 5:30]
24God raised him up, ending the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by death.[#2:24 Rm 8:11; 1Co 6:14; 2Co 4:14; Eph 1:20; Col 2:12; 1Th 1:10; Heb 13:20]
25For David says of him:
29‘Brothers and sisters, I can confidently speak to you about the patriarch David: He is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.[#2:29 1Kg 2:10; Neh 3:16; Ac 7:8–9; 13:36]
30Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn an oath to him to seat one of his descendants on his throne.[#2:30 Other mss add according to the flesh to raise up the Messiah; #2:30 2Sm 23:2; Ps 132:11; Mt 22:43; Lk 1:32; Ac 1:8; Heb 11:32]
31Seeing what was to come, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Messiah: He was not abandoned in Hades, and his flesh did not experience decay. ,[#2:31 Other mss read His soul; #2:31 Ps 16:10; #2:31 Ps 16:10; Ac 2:27]
32‘God has raised this Jesus; we are all witnesses of this.[#2:32 Lk 18:33; Ac 2:24]
33Therefore, since he has been exalted to the right hand of God and has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, he has poured out what you both see and hear.[#2:33 Php 2:9; Heb 10:12; #2:33 Jn 7:39; 14:26; 16:7,13; #2:33 Ac 2:17; 10:45]
34For it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but he himself says:
36‘Therefore let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.’[#2:36 Mt 28:18; Lk 2:11; Rm 14:9; 2Co 4:5]
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? ’[#2:37 Lk 3:10; Ac 16:30]
38Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptised, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.[#2:38 Lk 24:47; Ac 3:19; 26:20; #2:38 Ac 8:12; 22:16; #2:38 Ac 3:16; 15:14]
39For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.’[#2:39 Is 44:3; Ac 3:25; Eph 2:13]
40With many other words he testified and strongly urged them, saying, ‘Be saved from this corrupt generation! ’[#2:40 Or crooked , or twisted; #2:40 Dt 32:5; Mt 17:17; Php 2:15]
41So those who accepted his message were baptised, and that day about three thousand people were added to them.
42They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.[#2:42 Ac 5:28; 13:12; 17:19; 1Co 14:6; #2:42 Ac 1:14; Heb 10:25]
43Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles.[#2:43 Mk 16:17,20; Ac 5:12]
44Now all the believers were together and held all things in common.[#2:44 Mt 19:21; Ac 4:32]
45They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as any had need.
46Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts,[#2:46 Lk 24:53; Ac 5:42; 20:7]
47praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. Every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.[#2:47 Other mss read to the church; #2:47 Ac 5:14; 11:24; 16:5; Rm 14:18]
