4And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.
5Now there were living at Jerusalem, Jews, God-fearing men, from every nation under heaven.
6And when this sound came to their ears, they all came together, and were greatly surprised because every man was hearing the words of the disciples in his special language.
7And they were full of wonder and said, Are not all these men Galilaeans?
8And how is it that every one of us is hearing their words in the language which was ours from our birth?
9Men of Parthia, Media, and Elam, and those living in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
10In Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, Jews by birth and others who have become Jews,
11Men of Crete and Arabia, to all of us they are talking in our different languages, of the great works of God.

18And on my men-servants and my women-servants I will send my Spirit, and they will be prophets.
19And wonders will be seen in heaven, and signs on the earth, blood and fire and smoke:
20The sun will become dark and the moon will be turned to blood, before that great day of the Lord comes in glory:
21And whoever makes his prayer to the Lord will have salvation.
22Men of Israel, give ear to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man who had the approval of God, as was made clear to you by the great works and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves have knowledge,
23Him, when he was given up, by the decision and knowledge of God, you put to death on the cross, by the hands of evil men:
