«Chapter 2»

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. Utterly amazed, they asked: “How is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? We hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”

Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “These men are not drunk, as you suppose. No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
And EVERYONE WHO CALLS
ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.’

“Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs. This man was handed over to you BY GOD’S SET PURPOSE AND FOREKNOWLEDGE; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. BUT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. David said about him:

‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.’

“Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. But he was a prophet. Seeing what was ahead, HE SPOKE OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE CHRIST, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay. GOD HAS RAISED THIS JESUS TO LIFE, AND WE ARE ALL WITNESSES OF THE FACT.

“Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

Peter replied, “REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED, EVERY ONE OF YOU, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS.” Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

I like it, too. So, I included it even though it’s premature—the catacombs came later.

Good Morning Dan, and glad Wednesday to each visitor!

The ‘Power of the Holy Spirit’ revealed; glory to God, as His church begins to grow.

Some of the best here, are from unknown artists. Certainly #23 Styka is powerful!

Thank You Dan!

I notice Peter here really beginning to grow into his office, vocally vindicating Jesus’ choice and commissioning of him as the disciples’ leader.

But where does such boldness and wisdom originate?

If I may, I suggest adding "submitted to, and under the active guidance of, the Holy Spirit."
