Deeds (Act) of Apostles 2:1-31

¹And when the days of Pentecost were ful filled, all the disciples were together in the same place.

²And suddenly there was made a sound from heaven, as of a great wind coming, and it filled all the house where they sat.

³And diverse tongues or tongues diversely parted as fire appeared to them, and it sat on each of them.

⁴And all were filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak in diverse languages or with diverse tongues, as the Holy Ghost gave to them to speak.

⁵And there were in Jerusalem dwelling Jews, religious men, of each nation that is under heaven.

⁶And when this voice was made, the multitude came together, and were astonied, or was confounded, in thought, for each man heard them speaking in his own language +or in his own tongue.

⁷And all were astonied, and wondered, and said together, Whether not all these that speak be men of Galilee or be Galileans,

⁸and how heard we or how have we heard each man our language in which we be born?

⁹Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they that dwell at or in Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,

¹⁰Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that is about Cyrene, and comelings, Romans, and Jews, and proselytes,

¹¹men of Crete, and of Arabia, we have heard them speaking in our languages or our tongues the great things of God.

¹²And all were astonied, and wondered, saying together, What will this thing be?

¹³And others scorned, and said, For these men be full of must.

¹⁴But Peter stood with the eleven, and raised up his voice, and spake to them, Ye Jews, and all that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with ears perceive ye my words.

¹⁵For not as ye ween or as ye guess, these be drunken, when it is the third hour of the day;

¹⁶but this it is, that was said by the prophet Joel,

¹⁷And it shall be in the last days, the Lord saith, I shall pour out my Spirit on each flesh or on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elders shall dream swevens.

¹⁸And on my servants and on mine handmaidens in those days I shall pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

¹⁹And I shall give great wonders in heaven above, and signs in earth beneath, blood, and fire, and heat or vapour of smoke.

²⁰The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that the great and the open day of the Lord shall come.

²¹And it shall be, each man which-ever shall call to help or in-call the name of the Lord, shall be safe.

²²Ye men of Israel, hear ye these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God before you by virtues, and wonders, and tokens, which God did by him in the middle of you, as ye know,

²³ye tormented, and killed him by the hands of wicked men, by counsel determined and betaken by the fore-knowing or the prescience of God.

²⁴Whom God raised, when the sorrows of hell were unbound, by that that it was impossible that he were holden of it.

²⁵For David saith of him, I saw afar the Lord before me evermore, for he is on my right half, that I be not moved.

²⁶For this thing mine heart joyed, and my tongue made full out joy or gladded, and moreover my flesh shall rest in hope.

²⁷For thou shalt not leave my soul in hell, neither thou shalt give thine Holy to see corruption.

²⁸Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt full-fill me in mirth with thy face.

²⁹Brethren, be it leaveful boldly to say to you of the patriarch David, for he is dead and buried, and his sepulchre is among us into this day.

³⁰Therefore when he was a prophet, and knew, that with a great oath God had sworn to him, that of the fruit of his loins should one sit on his seat,

³¹he seeing afar spake of the resurrection of Christ, for neither he was left in hell, neither his flesh saw corruption.
