Acts Chapter 2

Act 2

The Holy Spirit Baptism, on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem 

1 And the days fully summed up, on Pentecost festival (FIFTIETH day after Passover), and they were all at the same place upon the same thing.

2 And suddenly, there happened to be a Breath/whiff/breeze just as bringing a violent echo (a resounding noise) and IT fully fill all the house where they were sitting down. (Jh3:8).

3 And they clearly discerned, the ONE as of FIRE, Who is to divide/distribute tongues/languages to them, and HE settled down upon each person. (Matt 3:12, Lk 3:15)

4 And the SPIRIT of the Holy ONE, fill up everybody and they begin to preach in different other tongues (languages), just as the SPIRIT gives them to plainly speak  out.

The reactions of on lookers to the first miracle of divers tongues/languages

5 Moreover, there has been Jews dwelling in Jerusalem and devout fellow-men from all nations under the sky;

6 So, by that sound generated, multitude came together and were perplexed, because one person heard each of them, preaches in his own dialect.

7 behold, they were amazed and wondered, saying, are all these ones preaching not Galileans?

8 And how do we hear each person in our own dialects, in which we were born?

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites (Persians); and Judeans who dwell in Mesopotamia (Asia region between Euphrates and Tigris) in addition to Cappodocia and Pontus (sea) of Asia;

10 according to those spreading/visiting from Phrygia, Pamphylia (every tribes), Egypt (land of Nile), and the Section of Libya (Africa), Cyrene (Africa), and Roman, 

11 even in addition to the Jews who heard them, are the proselytes (the new converts to Judaism) from Cretans and Arabians, preaching lofty/magnificent things of God, in their own languages, 

12 so, all were amazed and nonplussed, others who desire it, say towards others, how could this thing be?

13 moreover, different others mock, saying, they are full of fresh-juice

Peter's first sermon: ministry started in Jerusalem

14 So, Peter, together with the eleven, stood up and he raised up his voice, and plainly speak forth to them. Fellow men of Judea, and all Jerusalem dwellers, for this to be well-known to you, so listen to my utterances:

15 because, these ones are not drunk as you assumed, for, it is the third hour of the day (9am);

16 this is what was spoken through prophet Joel,

17 And it will be in the latter end of the days, says God, I will pour out from MY SPIRIT upon all flesh; and your sons, and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your elders will dream dreams.

18 No doubt, I will pour out of MY SPIRIT, upon MY servants, and upon MY female servants in those days, and they shall prophesy;

19 and I will give wonders of smoke and vapor/mist in the sky above, and signs of blood and fire upon the earth below;

20 the sun will transmute into blood, and the moon into darkness before the  coming of the great day and prominent manifestation (epiphane) of the Lord.

21 And, everyone who in case call upon the Name of the Supreme-Lord shall be saved. (Joel 2:28-32) 

22 Fellow men, hear this words: Jesus of Nazareth, A Fellow-Man from God, Who shew off/demonstrated miraculous power and wonders and signs unto you, which God did through Him, just as the lsrealites in your midst knew. 

23 and through the will and foreknowledge of God, He was predestined to be given out to the hands of the lawless people, to be anhilated and crucified;

24 Whom God raised up, having loosened/broken down the travail/pang of death, in as much as He is powerful, and could not to be detained under it.

25 for, it was said unto David because of everybody: I foresee Him before the Supreme Lord, because He is out from the Right Hand, at least I shall not be shaken.

26 by this reason, I will make merry by my tongue, and my flesh will exult (jump for joy), however, my heart will still lodge/tent down upon pleasurable hope;

27 for, I will not leave Your soul unto hades, nor the One I give Mercy/Grace (divinely right qualities) to see decay/corruption. 

28 to make known to me the way of zoe-Life, and fully fill me with joyfulness in YOUR presence. (Psalm16:8-11).

29 Fellow-men and brethren, it is right to speak with boldness towards you, about the Patriarch David, that even he died and was buried, and his grave is within us until this day.

30 therefore, we know by prophets, that God has sworn on oath to him, that from the fruits of his loin, a sub-ruler will settle down upon his throne.

31 having foreseen it, he preached concerning the resurrection of Christ, that neither will He be forsaken in hades, nor will His flesh see corruption/decay.

32 This Jesus is Whom God has raised up, and we are the witnesses of everything.

33 therefore, He has been exalted to the Right Hand of God, and in addition, the Promise of the HOLY Spirit, we heard from the fathers, this has been poured out and received, and which you have seen.

34 for, David did not ascend into heaven, however he said, Jehovah said unto my Adoni, sit down (to operate) out of MY Right Hand,

35 until possibly I put Your enemies (as footstool) under Your feet. (Ps110:1)

36 therefore, know assuredly, all the household of Israel, that God has made this same Jesus, Whom you crucified, the Lord (Emperor of the earth) and Christ.

37 So, the hearts of the fellow-men and brethren who heard, were pierced, in addition they say to Peter and the remaining Apostles, what shall we do?

38 So, Peter says toward them, repent (think differently) and be baptized, everyone of you, upon the Name of Jesus Christ, unto freedom from your sins, and you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit.

39 for the promise of God is for you, and your children, and to all who are at long distance; as much as we will possibly invite unto the Lord.

A rapid church increase by his teaching: about 3000 souls 

40 others in addition, exhorted and earnestly testified to them by more quality words; by saying: be saved from this crooked generation.

41 therefore, they indeed fully-welcomed the words and were baptized; and about three thousands souls were added on that day.

42 moreover, they are constantly diligent in the teaching of the Apostles and partnership in the breaking of bread, and oratory prayers.

43 Moreover, all souls happens to be in FEAR, even by many signs and wonders which happened, through the Apostles.

Equal wealth-distribution among brethren 'ENFORCED' (though it is a wrong approach)

44 Moreover, all (the people) believed upon same thing, and absolutely all things they have are common (shared by all);

45 and they sell possessions and wealth and divide/distribute them to everybody, according to which anyone has need.

46 they constantly continue with one accord, in the temple, braking bread according to households with respect to days, and partake of the food in simplicity of heart and exultation 

47 praising God, and holding on to the Grace of the Lord towards the whole people. Also, those who are saved are being added upon them with respect to days.
