1
 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they [Jesus' disciples] were all with one accord in one place.
2
 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3
 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4
 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5
 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6
 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7
 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8
 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9
 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10
 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11
 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12
 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13
 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
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:
15
 for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is
but
the third hour of the day.
16
 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
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:
18
 and on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19
 and I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20
 the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21
 and it shall come to pass,
that
whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
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:
23
 him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24
 whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
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:
26
 therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27
 because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28
 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
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.
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;
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.
32
 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
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.
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,
35
 until I make thy foes thy footstool.
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.
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?
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.
39
 For 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.
40
 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41
 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added
unto them
about three thousand souls.
42
 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43
 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44
 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45
 and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all
men,
as every man had need.
46
 And 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,
47
 praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
A Song of degrees of David.
1
 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the L
ORD
.
2
 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3
 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4
 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the L
ORD
, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the L
ORD
.
5
 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6
 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7
 Peace be within thy walls,
and
prosperity within thy palaces.
8
 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace
be
within thee.
9
 Because of the house of the L
ORD
our God I will seek thy good.
19
 Better
it is to be
of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20
 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the L
ORD
, happy
is
he.

1
 And again the anger of the L
ORD
was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
2
 For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which
was
with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
3
 And Joab said unto the king, Now the L
ORD
thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see
it:
but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
4
 Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
5
 And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that
lieth
in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:
6
 then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Zidon,
7
 and came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah,
even
to Beer-sheba.
8
 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9
 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah
were
five hundred thousand men.
10
 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the L
ORD
, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O L
ORD
, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
11
 For when David was up in the morning, the word of the L
ORD
came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
12
 Go and say unto David, Thus saith the L
ORD
, I offer thee three
things;
choose thee one of them, that I may
do it
unto thee.
13
 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
14
 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the L
ORD
; for his mercies
are
great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
15
 So the L
ORD
sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
16
 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the L
ORD
repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the L
ORD
was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
17
 And David spake unto the L
ORD
when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
18
 And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the L
ORD
in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.
19
 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the L
ORD
commanded.
20
 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
21
 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant?
And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the L
ORD
, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
22
 And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what
seemeth
good unto him: behold,
here be
oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and
other
instruments of the oxen for wood.
23
 All these
things
did Araunah,
as
a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The L
ORD
thy God accept thee.
24
 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy
it
of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the L
ORD
my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25
 And David built there an altar unto the L
ORD
, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the L
ORD
was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
