Matthew(i)
1 When the fyfty daye was come, they were all with one accorde together in one place.
2 And sodainly there came a sounde from heauen, as it had bene the comynge of a myghty wynd, and it filled al the housse where they sate.
3 And there appeared vnto them clouen tounges, lyke as they had bene fyre, and it sate vpon eche of them,
4 and they were all filled with the holye ghoste, and began to speake wyth other tounges, euen as the spyryte gaue them vtteraunce.
5 And there were dwelling at Hierusalem Iewes, deuout men, whyche were of all nations vnder heauen.
6 When thys was noysed aboute, the multitude came together & were astonied, because that euery man hearde them speake hys owne toung.
7 They wondred all & merueyled sayinge among them selues: Behold are not al these which speake of Galile?
8 And how heare we euery man his own tounge wherin we were borne?
9 Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia, of Iewry, and of Cappadocia, and of Ponthus and Asia,
10 Phrysia, Pamphilia, and of Egypte, and of the parties of Libia, which is besyde Syren, and straungers of Rome, Iewes, and conuertes,
11 Grekes, and Arabians: we haue heard them speake: wyth our owne tounges the great workes of God.
12 They were all amased, and woundered saiynge one to another: what meaneth thys?
13 Other mocked them sayinge: they are full of newe wyne.
14 But Peter stepped forth wyth the eleuen, and lyfte vp his voyce, and sayed vnto them: Ye men of Iewrye, and all ye that inhabite Hierusalem: be thys knowen vnto you, and wyth youre eares heare my wordes.
15 These art not drounke, as ye suppose, for it is yet but the thyrde houre of the day.
16 But thys is that which was spoken by the Prophet Iohel:
17 It shal be in the laste daies saith God, of my spirite: I wil pour out vpon all flesh. And your sonnes and daughters shal prophesie, & your youngmen shal se visions, and your oldmen shall dreame dreames.
18 And on my seruauntes and on my handmaydens, I wyll pour out of my spirite in those dayes, and they shall prophesye.
19 And I wyll shewe wounders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the earth beneth, bloude & fyre, and the vapoure of smoke.
20 The sonne shalbe turned into darckenes, and the mone into bloude, before that greate and notable day of the Lorde come.
21 And it shall be, that whosoeuer shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saued.
