Book of Acts, New American Bible

Acts 2. 1. When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together.

2 And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind,  and it filled the entire house in which they were.

3 Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.

4 And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

41 Those who accepted [Peter's] message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day.

42 They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers.

43 Awe came upon everyone, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

44 All who believed were together and had all things in common;

45 they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one's need.

46 Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their homes. They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart,

47 praising God and enjoying favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
