16 These are the names of the apostles of the Lord: Peter, John and James; Philip, Andrew and Nathaniel; 17 Thomas, James the son of Alpheus and Simon Zelotes; Matthew, Jude, the son of Alpheus and Matthias. CHAPTER 182. _Events of the day of Pentecost. Endowment of the apostles. The Christine Church is established. Peter preaches the introductory sermon. The sermon. Three thousand people are baptized and become members of the church._ Now, when the day of Pentecost had come Jerusalem was filled with pious Jews and proselytes from many lands. 2 The Christines all were met and were in perfect harmony. 3 And as they sat in silent prayer they heard a sound a-like the distant murmur of a coming storm. 4 The sound grew loud, and louder still, until, like thunder peals, it filled the room where the apostles sat. 5 A brilliant light appeared, and many thought, The building is afire. 6 Twelve balls, that seemed like balls of fire, fell from heaven--a ball from every sign of all the circle of the heavens, and on the head of each apostle there appeared a flaming ball of fire. 7 And every ball sent seven tongues of fire toward heaven, and each apostle spoke in seven dialects of earth. 8 The ignorant rabble treated lightly what they heard and saw; they said, These men are drunk, and know not what they say. 9 But men of learning were amazed; they said, Are not these men who speak all Jews? how is it that they speak in all the languages of earth? 10 And Peter said, You people of Jerusalem, and you who live beyond the city’s gates; Peace be to you, and all mankind. 11 This is the time that holy men of old desired to see; by faith they saw this hour, and now they stand with us in ecstasy. 12 The prophet Joel in the olden times told of the things you see and hear. The Holy Breath spoke with his tongue and said, 13 And it shall come to pass in latter days, that I will breathe upon the sons of men, and fill them with the blessedness of holiness. 14 Your sons and daughters will stand forth and prophesy; your young men will be seers; your old men will dream dreams. 15 And I will show forth wonders in the heavens above, and marvelous signs in earth. 16 Sounds will proceed from heaven and voices will be heard that men will fail to comprehend. 17 The sun will fail to shine, the moon will wade in blood before the coming of the great day of the Lord. 18 And it will come to pass that they who call upon the name of God in faith shall be redeemed. 19 This is the day of Christine power; the day that he, the man from Galilee, is glorified. 20 He came as babe in Bethlehem and from his day of birth the kings of earth went forth intent to take his life. 21 God held him in the hollow of his hand. 22 Men called him Jesus, and they called him well, for he was sent to seek and save the lost.
