that of an impetuous wind, which filled all the house where they were. <A name="4"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>and there appeared several little flames, and sat upon each of them: <A name="5"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>and they were all filled with the holy ghost, and began to speak in different languages, as the spirit gave them utterance.<p> <A name="6"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>now many devout Jews were residing at Jerusalem, who came from all quarters of the world. <A name="7"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>and upon the rumour of this event, the multitude came together, and were confounded, every man hearing the disciples speak in his own language. <A name="8"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>struck with astonishment and admiration, they said to one another, are not these

raised up, <A name="25"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>having delivered him from the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be overpower'd by it.<p> <A name="26"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>for David says concerning him, "I had the Lord always present before me, he is on my right hand, that I

class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>men and brethren, let me with assurance tell you of the patriarch David, who died and was buried here, his sepulchre being with us to this day: <A name="31"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>that, as he was a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him, to place the fruit of his loins upon his throne: foreseeing this, <A name="32"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>he spoke of the resurrection of Christ, when he said, "that his soul was not lest in the grave, neither did his body undergo corruption."' <A name="33"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>'tis this Jesus whom God hath raised up, of which we all are witnesses. <A name="34"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the father the promise of the holy spirit, he has diffused that spirit, the effects of which ye now see and hear.<p> <A name="35"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>for David is not ascended to heaven: yet he saith himself, "the Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,<p> <A name="36"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>until I make thy foes thy footstool." <A name="37"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.<p> <A name="38"></a><p class="hdg">Three Thousand Believe<p><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>Now when they heard this, their hearts

that they sold their possessions and goods, and distributed the money to every one as his occasions required. <A name="47"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/2-46.htm"><b>46</b></a></span>and continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they did eat their meals with gladness, and simplicity of heart, <span class="reftext"><a
