Chapter 1, verse 20 - Chapter 2, verse 11
20
For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell therein
21
“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22
beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
23
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24
They prayed, and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
25
to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
26
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Chapter 2
1
Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2
Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3
Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
4
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
5
Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
6
When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
7
They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?
8
How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
9
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
10
Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11
Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
