2And suddenly a sound came out of heaven, as being borne along by a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and rested on each one of them.
4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in different languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation of those under heaven.
6And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because they were hearing each one speaking in his own language.
7And they were all amazed and were marveling, saying to one another, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
8And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?
9Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya toward Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the mighty deeds of God.”
12So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
13Others were mocking and saying, “They are full of new wine.”
14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.
15For these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is just the third hour of the day.
16But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17‘ “And it shall be in the last days,” says God, “that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
18and on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and magnificent Day of the Lord.
21And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ’
22“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves also know—
23Him, being delivered by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you took, and by lawless hands, nailing Him to a cross, you killed Him;
24whom God raised, thus doing away with the labor pains of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it.
