"The Promise of the Holy Spirit"
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit (YHVH's Power) and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together and were confounded, because every man heard them speaking in his own language. And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another,
“Behold, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how then do we each hear them speaking in our own tongue wherein we were born?
Parthians, Medes, Elamites and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians — we hear them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of YHVH (YEHOVAH)”
And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another,
What means this?
Others mocking said,
“These men are full of new wine”
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said unto them,
“You men of Judea and all ye who dwell in Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words. For these are not drunken as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day; but this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel: And it shall come to pass in the last days, said YHVH (YEHOVAH),
I will pour out 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. And on My servants and on My handmaidens I will pour out in those days My Spirit, and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath — blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood before that great and notable Day of the KING ALMIGHTY come. And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the YHVH (YEHOVAH) shall be saved!
Peter apostle and Cornelius centurion of Italian band.
Cornelius said to Peter,
Immediately therefore I sent to you, and you have done well, that you have come. Now therefore are we all here present before YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty to hear all things that are commanded YOU from YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty”.
Then Peter opened his mouth and said,
“In truth I perceive that YHVH (YEHOVAH) is no respecter of persons, but in every nation he that fears Him and worketh righteousness is accepted by Him".
The Word which YHVH (YEHOVAH) sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ
(Jesus is King and Lord of all) —
that Word, I say, you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: "how YHVH (YEHOVAH) anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit (Ghost) and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for YHVH (YEHOVAH) was with Him (Jesus of Nazareth).
And we are witnesses of all things which He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem — He whom they hanged on a tree and slew. Him YHVH (YEHOVAH) raised up the third day and showed Him openly, not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before by YHVH (YEHOVAH), even to us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead. And He (Jesus of Nazareth) commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by YHVH (YEHOVAH) to be the Judge of the quick and dead.
To Him (Jesus of Nazareth) all the prophets bear witness, that through His name whosoever believes in Him shall receive remission of sins”
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit (Ghost) fell on all those who heard the Word.
And those of the Circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the Gift of the Holy Spirit (Ghost) was poured out also on the Gentiles. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify YHVH (YEHOVAH).
Then answered Peter,
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit (Ghost), as well as we?
And he commanded them to be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Then they entreated him to tarry certain days.
