Acts 2

The day of pentecost being arrived, and the disciples assembled, the Holy Spirit descended as a mighty rushing wind, and in the likeness of fiery tongues sat upon them; in consequence of which, they were all enabled to speak different languages, which they had never learned, Acts 2:1-4 . An account of persons from various countries who there present, and were astonished to hear the apostles declare the wonderful works of God in their respective languages, Acts 2:5-12 . Some cavil, Acts 2:13 , and are confounded by Peter, who asserts that this work is of God; and that thereby a most important prophecy was fulfilled, Acts 2:14-21 . He takes occasion from this to preach Jesus to them, as the true Lord and only Messiah, Acts 2:22-36 . The people are alarmed and convinced, and inquire what they shall do, Acts 2:37 . He exhorts them to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus, that they may receive remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit, Acts 2:38-40 . They gladly receive his word, about three thousand are baptized and added to the Church in one day; they continue steadfast in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, Acts 2:41 , Acts 2:42 . The apostles work many miracles; and the disciples have all things in common, and live in a state of great happiness and Christian fellowship, Acts 2:43-47 .
