THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Acts (Author Luke)

1:1The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

1:2Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

1:3To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

1:4And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

1:5For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

1:6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

1:7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

1:8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

1:9And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

1:10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

1:11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

2:1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2:2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

2:3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

2:4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

2:5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

2:6Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

2:7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

2:8And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

2:9Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

2:10Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

2:11Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

2:12And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

2:13Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

2:14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

2:15For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

2:16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

2:17And 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, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

2:18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

1 Corinthians (Author Paul)

12:8For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

12:9To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

12:10To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

12:11But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
