Peter's Sermon at Pentecost
Act 2:14 But
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:
Act 2:15 For
these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
Act 2:16 But
this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
Act 2:17 And
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:
Act 2:18 And
on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my
Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Act 2:19 And
I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and
fire, and vapour of smoke:
Act 2:20 The
sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great
and notable day of the Lord come:
Act 2:21 And
it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Act 2:22 Ye
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:
Act 2:23 Him,
being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have
taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
Act 2:24 Whom
God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not
possible that he should be holden of it.
Act 2:25 For
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:
Act 2:26
Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh
shall rest in hope:
Act 2:27
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine
Holy One to see corruption.
Act 2:28 Thou
hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy
countenance.
Act 2:29 Men 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.
Act 2:30
Therefore 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;
Act 2:31 He
seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not
left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Act 2:32 This
Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Act 2:33
Therefore 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.
Act 2:34 For
David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said
unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Act 2:35
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Act 2:36
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that
same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Act 2:37 Now 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?
Act 2:38 Then
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.
