Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,

beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."

They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen

to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place."

They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.

Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and it sat on each one of them.

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.

When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Behold, aren't all these who speak Galileans?

How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?

Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!"

They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, "What does this mean?"

Others, mocking, said, "They are filled with new wine."

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke out to them, "You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
