14But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.15For these people are not drunk, as you suppose,since it is only the third hour of the day.[a]16But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

17And in the last days it shall be, God declares,that I will pour out my Spiriton all flesh,and your sons andyour daughters shall prophesy,and your young men shall see visions,and your old men shall dream dreams;18even on my male servants and female servantsin those days I will pour out my Spirit, andthey shall prophesy.19And I will show wonders in the heavens aboveand signs on the earth below,blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;20the sun shall be turned to darknessand the moon to blood,beforethe day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.21And it shall come to pass thateveryone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Whenthe day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.2And suddenly there came from heaven a sound likea mighty rushing wind, andit filled the entire house where they were sitting.3And divided tonguesas of fire appeared to them and rested[a]on each one of them.4And they were allfilled with the Holy Spirit and beganto speak in other tonguesas the Spirit gave them utterance.

5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.6Andat this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.7Andthey were amazed and astonished, saying, Are not all these who are speakingGalileans?8And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?9Parthians andMedes andElamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,11both Jews andproselytes, Cretans and Arabianswe hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.12Andall were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, What does this mean?13But othersmocking said, They are filled with new wine.Watch at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpCCCYqqarU

Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas

12Thenthey returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.13And when they had entered, they went up tothe upper room, where they were staying,Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simonthe Zealot and Judas the son of James.14All thesewith one accordwere devoting themselves to prayer, together withthe women and Mary the mother of Jesus, andhis brothers.[a]

15In those days Peter stood up amongthe brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said,16Brothers,the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas,who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.17Forhe was numbered among us and was allotted his share inthis ministry.18(Now this manacquired a field withthe reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong[b]he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.19And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was calledin their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)20For it is written in the Book of Psalms,

May his camp become desolate,and let there be no one to dwell in it;

and

Let another take his office.

21So one of the men who have accompanied us duringall the time that the Lord Jesuswent in and out among us,22beginning from the baptism of John until the day whenhe was taken up from usone of these men must become with usa witness to his resurrection.23And they put forward two, Joseph calledBarsabbas, who was also calledJustus, andMatthias.24Andthey prayed and said, You, Lord,who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen25to take the place inthis ministry andapostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.26And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.Watch at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRJjthqntJM

6So when they had come together, they asked him, Lord,will you at this timerestore the kingdom to Israel?7He said to them,It is not for you to knowtimes or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.8But you will receivepowerwhen the Holy Spirit has come upon you, andyou will bemy witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea andSamaria, andto the end of the earth.9And when he had said these things, as they were looking on,he was lifted up, anda cloud took him out of their sight.10And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold,twomen stood by them inwhite robes,11and said,Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven,willcome in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.Watch at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7QfKST6ius

In the first book, OTheophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus beganto do and teach,2until the day whenhe was taken up, after hehad given commandsthrough the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.3He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

4And while staying[a]with themhe ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said,you heard from me;5forJohn baptized with water,but you will be baptizedwith[b]the Holy Spirit not many days from now.Watch at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJEsfPZE1cA

36As they were talking about these things,Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them,Peace to you!37But they werestartled andfrightened andthought they saw a spirit.38And he said to them,Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?39See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.40And when he had said this,he showed them his hands and his feet.41And while they still disbelievedfor joy and were marveling,he said to them,Have you anything here to eat?42They gave him a piece of broiled fish,[a]43and he took it and ate before them.

44Then he said to them,These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you,that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.45Thenhe opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,46and said to them,Thusit is written,that the Christ should suffer and on the third dayrise from the dead,47and thatrepentance for[b]the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimedin his nameto all nations,beginning from Jerusalem.48You are witnesses of these things.49And behold, I am sendingthe promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until youare clothed withpowerfrom on high.Watch at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iADQimmeD3I

66When day came,the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to theircouncil, and theysaid,67If you arethe Christ, tell us. But he said to them,If I tell you, you will not believe,68and if I ask you, you will not answer.69But from now on the Son of Man shall be seatedat the right hand of the power of God.70So they all said, Are youthe Son of God, then?

He entered Jericho and was passing through.2And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich.3Andhe was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature.4So he ran on ahead and climbed up intoa sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way.5And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him,Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, forI must stay at your house today.6So he hurried and came down andreceived him joyfully.7And when they saw it, they allgrumbled, He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.8And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goodsI give to the poor. And if I havedefrauded anyone of anything, I restore itfourfold.9And Jesus said to him,Today salvation has come to this house, sincehe also is a son of Abraham.10Forthe Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.Watch at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guz0FRGRtwg

Nowthe tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him.2And the Pharisees and the scribesgrumbled, saying,This man receives sinners andeats with them.

11And he said,There was a man who had two sons.12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give methe share of property that is coming to me. And he dividedhis property between them.13Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property inreckless living.14And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need.15So he went and hired himself out to[a]one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.16And hewas longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything.

17Butwhen hecame to himself, he said, How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger!18I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father,I have sinned againstheaven and before you.19I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.20And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, andran andembraced him andkissed him.21And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.I am no longer worthy to be called your son.[b]22But the father said to his servants,[c]Bring quicklythe best robe, and put it on him, and puta ring on his hand, andshoes on his feet.23And bringthe fattened calf and kill it, andlet us eat and celebrate.24For this my sonwas dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to celebrate.

25Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.26And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.27And he said to him, Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.28But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him,29but he answered his father, Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I mightcelebrate with my friends.30But when this son of yours came,who has devouredyour property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!31And he said to him, Son,you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.32It was fittingto celebrate and be glad, for this your brotherwas dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.Watch at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chDZCbc3CvU
