8 How we hear each of us in our own tongue, in which we were born.

9 The Parthians, and the Medes, and the Elamites, and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, and Pontus, and Asia,

10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, and Egypt, and the parts of Libya which are adjoining Cyrene, and those who came out of Rome, the Jews, and the proselytes,

11 Cretans and Arabians, do we hear them speaking with our tongues of the great works of God?

12 And they were all amazed, and being perplexed, they said to one another, 'What is the meaning of this?'

13 And others, mocking, said, 'They are drunk with sweet wine.'

14 And Peter stood up with the eleven, and lifted up his voice, and cried unto them, Men of the Jews, and all ye that dwell in Jerusalem, Let this be known to you, and give heed to my words:

15 They are not drunk, as you think, for it is now the third hour of the day;

16 but this is what was foretold by Joel the prophet:

17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; and your young men will see visions, and your elders will be taught by dreams.

18 And on my servants and on my handmaids in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and the incense of smoke.

20 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

22 Men of Israel! Hear these words, Jesus of Nazareth, a man who has been testified to you of God by powers, and wonders, and signs, which God has done through him among you, as you yourselves know,

23 This, according to the definite counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and having nailed him with the hands of the wicked, you have killed;

24 but God raised him up, breaking the bands of death, because it was impossible for her to hold him.

25 For David saith of him, I have always seen the Lord before me, for he is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.

26 Therefore my heart rejoices, and my tongue rejoices; even my flesh shall rest in hope;

27 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

28 Thou hast made me know the way of life, Thou shalt fill me with joy in Thy presence.
