Peter Addresses the Crowd.
14Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed
the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me
explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15These men are not
drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! 16No, this is what
was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17" '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.
18Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
19I will show wonders in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.'[c]
22"Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man
accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did
among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23This man was handed over
to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of
wicked men,[d] put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24But God
raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it
was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. 25David said about him:
" 'I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will live in hope,
27because you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
28You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.'[e]
29"Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died
and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30But he was a prophet
and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his
descendants on his throne. 31Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the
resurrection of the Christ,[f] that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor
did his body see decay. 32God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all
witnesses of the fact. 33Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received
from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now
see and hear. 34For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
" 'The Lord said to my Lord:
"Sit at my right hand
35until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet." '[g]
36"Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this
Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to
Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
38Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the
name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39The promise is for you and your children and
for all who are far off-for all whom the Lord our God will call."
40With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them,
"Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." 41Those who
accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to
their number that day.
The Fellowship of the Believers
42They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the
fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled
with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.
44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45Selling
their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46Every
day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread
in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47praising
God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their
number daily those who were being saved.
The Gospel According to Mohammad.
O God, we follow the Messenger, the Prophet of the Gentiles that we found
described in The Torah and the Prophets... Qur'an.
There is but one Gospel and it is not a written book
