And during those days, Peter standing up in the midst of the brethren, said (and the number of names were about one hundred and twenty),

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all of one accord in the same place.

And suddenly there was a sound from heaven as of a mighty, rushing wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And Jews were dwelling at Jerusalem, devout men from every nation, of those under the heaven;

and this report prevailing, the multitude came together and was confounded, because they were hearing them speaking each one in his own dialect.

And they were all astounded and marveled, saying, Are not all these who are speaking, Galileans?

And how do we hear each one in our own dialect in which we were born,

Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking the mighty works of God in our own languages.

And hearing, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, Men, brethren, what must we do?

And Peter said to them, Repent, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

And taking him by the right hand he raised him up; and immediately the bottoms of his feet and his ankle-bones were strengthened.

And they recognized him, that he was the one sitting for alms at Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with astonishment and delight at that which had happened to him.

And Peter seeing them, responded to the people; Israelitish men, why are you astonished at this, or why do you look upon us as having by our own power or holiness, made this man to walk about?

The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Child, Jesus, who you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate having decided to release Him.

and you slew the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, whose witnesses we are.

And seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and apprehending that they are unlearned and ignorant men, they continued to be astonished, and recognized them, that they were with Jesus;

while, reaching forth thy hand unto healings, both miracles and wonders are wrought through the name of thy holy child Jesus.

so that they were carrying the sick into the streets, and placing them on couches and beds, in order that the shadow of Peter passing along might cast a shadow on some one of them.
