A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek: Humbly Attempted with a View to Assist the Unlearned with Clearer and More Explicit Views of the Mind of the Spirit in the Scriptures of Truth
Haweis, Thomas
Bible. New Testament
(21)Wherefore from among the men who have associated with us always
during the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
(22)beginning from his baptism by John, until the day in which he was
taken up from us, must there be chosen with us a witness of his
resurrection, even one of these. (23)So they appointed two persons,
Joseph called Barsabas, whose sirname was Justus, and Matthias. (24)And
joining in prayer, they said, Do thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts
of all men, point out the one of these two which thou hast chosen,
(25)to take a part in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas
by transgression fell, to go to his own place. (26)And they drew lots
for them and the lot fell to Matthias and he was by unanimous suffrage
numbered with the eleven apostles.
CHAP. II.
SO when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with
unanimity assembled together. (2)And there came suddenly from heaven a
sound as it were of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole
house where they were sitting. (3)And there was an appearance to them
of divided tongues, as of fire, and it rested on every one of them.
(4)And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them power to express
themselves.
(5)Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, men of piety, from every
nation under heaven. (6)And when this report spread, the multitude
collected around them, and were overwhelmed with astonishment, because
they heard them speaking every one in his own peculiar dialect. (7)And
they were all amazed, and wondered, saying one to another, Are not all
these who are speaking Galileans? (8)And how do we hear every man in
our own peculiar dialect, in which from our birth we were brought up?
(9)Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they who inhabit
Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, (10)and
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia adjoining Cyrene,
and the sojourners, who are Romans, both Jews and proselytes,
(11)Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own several
tongues the marvellous things of God. (12)And they were all amazed, and
much perplexed, and knew not what to think, saying one to another, What
can this mean? (13)But others scoffing said, These men are brimful of
sweet wine. (14)But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his
voice, and addressed them; Men of Judea, and all ye who dwell at
Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words: (15)for
these men are not, as ye suppose, drunk, for it is only the third hour
of the day. (16)But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel;
(17)"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour
out of my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall
dream dreams: (18)and upon my servants and my handmaidens in those days
