Act 3(KJV)Bible References, Resources, Keywords, Precepts

1And when the day
of Pentecost
was fully come,
they were all with
one accord
in one place.

2And suddenly
there came a sound from heaven
as of a rushing mighty wind, and
it filled all the house
where they were sitting.

3And there appeared
unto them cloven tongues
like as of fire, and
it sat upon each of them.

4And they were
all filled
with the Holy Ghost,
and began to speak
with other tongues,
as the Spirit
gave them utterance.

5And there were
dwelling at Jerusalem
Jews,
devout men,
out of every nation
under heaven.

6Now
when this was noised abroad,
the multitude came together,
and were confounded,
because that every man
heard them speak
in his own language.

7And they were
all amazed and
marvelled,
saying one to another,
Behold,
are not all these
which speak
Galilaeans?

8And how hear we
every man
in our own tongue,
wherein we were born?

9Parthians,
and Medes, and Elamites,
and the dwellers
in Mesopotamia, and
in Judaea, and Cappadocia,
in Pontus, and Asia,

10Phrygia, and
Pamphylia,
in Egypt, and
in the parts of Libya
about Cyrene, and strangers
of Rome,
Jews and proselytes,

11Cretes and Arabians,
we do hear them speak
in our tongues
the wonderful works
of God.

12And they were
all amazed, and
were in doubt,
saying one to another,
What meaneth
this?

13Others mocking said,
These men are full
of new wine.

14But Peter,
standing up with the eleven,
lifted up his voice,
and said unto them,
Ye men of Judaea,
and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem,
be this known unto you,
and hearken to my words:

15For these
are not drunken,
as ye suppose,
seeing it is but
the third hour of the day.

16But this
is that which was spoken
by the prophet Joel;

17And it shall come to pass
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:

18And on my servants
and on my handmaidens
I will pour out in those days
of my Spirit; and
they shall prophesy:

19And I will shew
wonders in heaven above, and
signs in the earth beneath;
blood, and fire,
and vapour of smoke:

20The sun shall be
turned into darkness, and
the moon into blood,
before the great and notable day
of the Lord come:

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

22Ye men of Israel,
hear these words;
Jesus of Nazareth,
a man approved
of God among you
by miracles
and wonders and signs,
which God did by him
in the midst of you,
as ye yourselves
also know:

23Him,
being delivered
by the determinate counsel
and foreknowledge of God,
ye have taken,
and by wicked hands
have crucified and slain:

24Whom God
hath raised up,
having loosed the pains of death:
because it was not possible
that He should be holden of it.

25For David speaketh
concerning Him,
I foresaw the Lord
always before my face,
for He is
on my right hand,
that I should not be moved:

26Therefore
did my heart rejoice,
and my tongue was glad;
moreover also
my flesh shall rest
in hope:

27Because
thou wilt not leave
my soul in hell,
neither wilt Thou suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption.

28Thou
hast made known to me
the ways of life;
thou shalt make me
full of joy
with thy countenance.

29Men and brethren,
let me freely speak unto you
of the patriarch David,
that he is both dead and buried,
and his sepulchre
is with us unto this day.

30Therefore
being a prophet,
and knowing that
God had sworn
with an oath to him,
that of the fruit of his loins,
according to the flesh,
he would raise up Christ
to sit on his throne;

31He seeing this
before spake
of the resurrection of Christ,
that his soul
was not left in hell,
neither his flesh did see corruption.

32This Jesus
hath God raised up,
whereof we all are witnesses.

33Therefore
being by the right hand
of God exalted,
and having received of the Father
the promise of the Holy Ghost,
He hath shed forth this,
which ye now see and hear.

34For David
is not ascended
into the heavens:
but he saith himself,
The Lord said unto my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand,

35Until I make thy foes
thy footstool.

36Therefore
let all the house of Israel
know assuredly,
that God hath made
the same Jesus,
whom ye have crucified,
both Lord and Christ.

37Now when they heard this,
they were pricked in their heart,
and said unto Peter
and to the rest of the apostles,
Men and brethren,
what shall we do?

38Then Peter
said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized
every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive
the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39For the promise
is unto you,
and to your children,
and to all that are afar off,
even as many
as the LORD our God shall call

40And with many other words
did he testify and exhort,
saying,
Save yourselves
from this untoward generation.

41Then
they that gladly received his word
were baptized:
and the same day
there were added unto them
about three thousand souls.

42And they continued
stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine
and fellowship, and in breaking
of bread,
and in prayers.

43And fear
came upon every soul: and
many wonders and signs
were done by the apostles.

44And all that believed
were together,
and had all things common;

45And sold
their possessions and goods,
and parted them
to all men,
as every man had need.

46And they,
continuing daily
with one accord in the temple,
and breaking bread
from house to house,
did eat their meat
with gladness
and singleness of heart,

47Praising God, and
having favour
with all the people.
And the Lord
added to the church daily
such as should be saved.
