^{1 Ref} And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place,

^{2 Ref} and there came suddenly out of the heaven a sound as of a bearing violent breath, and it filled all the house where they were sitting,

^{3 Ref} and there appeared to them divided tongues, as it were of fire; it sat also upon each one of them,

^{4 Ref} and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving them to declare.

^{5 Ref} And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven,

^{6 Ref} and the rumour of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were each one hearing them speaking in his proper dialect,

^{7 Ref} and they were all amazed, and did wonder, saying one unto another, `Lo, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

⁸ and how do we hear, each in our proper dialect, in which we were born?

^{9 Ref} Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,

^{10 Ref} Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that `are' along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

^{11 Ref} Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.'

^{12 Ref} And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one unto another, `What would this wish to be?'

^{13 Ref} and others mocking said, -- `They are full of sweet wine;'

^{14 Ref} and Peter having stood up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and declared to them, `Men, Jews! and all those dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and harken to my sayings,

^{15 Ref} for these are not drunken, as ye take it up, for it is the third hour of the day.

^{16 Ref} `But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:

^{17 Ref} And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

^{18 Ref} and also upon My men-servants, and upon My maid-servants, in those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy;

^{19 Ref} and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath -- blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke,

^{20 Ref} the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the day of the Lord -- the great and illustrious;

^{21 Ref} and it shall be, every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.
