Update:  2023.01.15

 

Acts 2:1 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) in (en) the (tō) [day, RE] to be fulfilled (sumplērousthai), the (tēn) day (hēmeran) of the (tēs) Pentecost (pentēkostēs), [the apostles, v1:26, RE] were being (ēsan) all (pantes) alike (homou) upon (epi) the (to) [day, RE] of it (auto).

 

Acts 2:2 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) [an] echo (ēchos) unexpectedly (aphnō) caused itself to become (egeneto) out (ek) of the (tou) heaven (ouranou), so be it as (hōsper) [the heaven, RE] bearing (pheromenēs) [a] forceful (biaias) breath (pnoēs).

 

And (kai) [the] [echo, RE] filled (eplērōsen) the (ton) whole (holon) house (oikon) where (hou) they were being (ēsan) ones causing themselves to sit down (kathēmenoi)

 

(See John 7:39, *20:21-22; Acts 2:2.  Was Jesus telling them what to listen for, and what to do when the day of Pentecost arrives?)

 

Acts 2:3 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) [the apostles, v1:26, RE] were caused to gaze at (ōphthēsan) tongues (glōssai) being thoroughly divided (diamerizomenai) to them (autois), [tongues, RE] as if (hōsei) of fire (puros).

 

And (kai) [[a] tongue, RE] sat down (ekathisen) upon (eph’) each (hekaston) one (hena) of them (autōn).

 

(For God making the liturgists of him as flames of fire, see Psalm 104:4; Acts 2:3-4a, 7:30; 2 Thes. 1:7-8; Heb. 1:7; Rev. 1:14, 2:18, 19:12)

 

Acts 2:4 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) all (pantes) were filled (eplēsthēsan) of holy (hagiou) Spirit (pneumatos).

 

And (kai) they caused themselves to start (ērxanto) to speak (lalein) tongues (glōssais), ones of another kind (heterais), down as (kathos) the (to) Spirit (pneuma) was giving (edidou) to them (autois) to utter away clearly (apophthengesthai).

 

Acts 2:5 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) there were being (ēsan) into (eis) Jerusalem (Hierousalēm) Judeans (Ioudaioi) homing-down (katoikountes), well-received (eulabeis) males (andres), from (apo) every (pantos) ethnic group (ethnous) of the ones (tōn) under (hupo) the (to) heaven (ouranon).

 

Acts 2:6 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (tēs) sound (phōnēs) of this (tautēs) [echo, v2, RE] having caused itself to come to pass (genomenēs), the (to) plethora (plēthos) came together (sunēlthen), and (kai) it was poured in together with4797 (sunechuthē) [the apostles, v1:26, RE];

 

because (hoti), of them (autōn) speaking (lalountōn) [the] [males, v5, RE] were hearing (ēkouon), each (hekastos) one (heis), the (tē) dialect (dialektō) [being] his own (idia)!

 

Acts 2:7 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) all (pantes) were causing themselves to be ecstatic (existanto).

 

And (kai) they were being amazed (ethaumazon), saying (legontes), “Behold (idou), are (eisin) absolutely not (ouch) absolutely all (hapantes) these (houtoi), the ones (hoi) speaking (lalountes), Galileans (Galilaioi)!?

 

Acts 2:8 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) how (pōs) <do> we (hēmeis) hear (akouomen), each one (hekastos) of us (hēmōn), the (tē) dialect (dialektō) [being] his own (idia) in (en) which (hē) we were generated (egennēthēmen);

 

Acts 2:9 (LIT/UBS4) Parthians (Parthoi), and (kai) Medes (Mēdoi), and (kai) Elamites (Elamitai), and (kai) the ones (hoi) homing-down (katoikountes) the (tēn) Mesopotamia (Mesopotamian),

 

and (te) Judea (Ioudaian), and (kai) Cappadocia (Kappadokian), Pontus (Ponton) and (kai) the (tēn) Asia (asian),

 

Acts 2:10 (LIT/UBS4) and (te) Phrygia (Phrugian), and (kai) Pamphylia (Pamphulian), Egypt (Aigupton) and (kai) the (ta) parts (merē) of the (tēs) Libya (Libuēs), of the (tēs) [parts, RE] down (kata) Cyrene (Kurēnēn), and (kai) the (hoi) Roman (Rōmaioi) bands of us staying over (epidēmountes),

 

Acts 2:11 (LIT/UBS4) and (te) Judean (Ioudaioi) proselytes (prosēlutoi) also (kai), Cretes (Krētes) and (kai) Arabs (Arabes)!?

 

We hear (akouomen) them (autōn) speaking (lalountōn), the (tais) tongues (glossais) [being] ours (hēmeterais), the (ta) great things (megaleia) of the (tou) God (theou)!”

 

(For the normal and common practice of the church to speak in tongues to pray to God, see Mark 16:17; Acts 2:4-11, 10:46, 19:6; Rom. 8:26-27; 1 Cor. 12:3, 30, 13:1, 14:2-28, 39; Eph. 6:18; Col. 4:3; Jude 1:20)

 

Acts 2:12 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) all (pantes) were causing themselves to be ecstatic (existanto)!

 

And (kai) they were being thoroughly perplexed (diēporoun), saying (legontes) another (allon) to (pros) another (allos), “What (ti) does this (touto) desire (thelei) to be (einai)?”

 

Acts 2:13 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) ones of another kind (heteroi), ones thoroughly jeering (diachleuazontes), they were saying (elegon) that (hoti), “They are (eisin) ones having been filled (memestōmenoi) of sweet wine (gleukous)!”

 

Acts 2:14 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) Peter (Petros) having been caused to stand (statheis), together with (sun) the (tois) eleven (hendeka), he lifted up (epēren) the (tēn) voice (phōnēn) of him (autou) and (kai) caused himself to utter away clearly (apephthenxato) to them (autois),

 

“Males (andres), Judeans (Ioudaioi), and (kai) all (pantes) the ones (hoi) homing-down (katoikountes) Jerusalem (Hierousalēm), <let> this (touto) be (estō) known (gnōston) to you (humin), and (kai) cause yourselves to ear-in (enōtisasthe) the (ta) statements (rhēmata) of me (mou);

 

Acts 2:15 (LIT/UBS4) because (gar) these ones (houtoi) are absolutely not drunk (ou methuousin) as (hōs) you (humeis) undertake it (hupolambanete), because (gar) it is (estin) [the] third (tritē) hour (hōra) of the (tēs) day (hēmeras)!

 

Acts 2:16 (LIT/UBS4) BUT (alla), this (touto) is (estin) the (to) [statement, RE] having been stated (eirēmenon) through (dia) the (tou) prophet (prophētou) Joel (iōēl)!

 

Acts 2:17 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) it shall cause itself  to be (estai) in (en) the (tais) last (eschatais) days (hēmerais), says (legei) the (ho) God (theos, YHWH elohim), “I shall pour out (ekcheō) from (apo) the (tou) Spirit (pneumatos) of me (mou) upon (epi) all (pasan) flesh (sarka);

 

and (kai) the (hoi) sons (huioi) of you (humōn) and (kai) the (hai) daughters (thugateres) of you (humōn) shall prophesy (prosphēteusousin);  (note active voice verb)

 

and (kai) the (hoi) young ones (neaniskoi) of you (humōn) shall cause themselves to gaze at (opsontai) visions (horaseis);  (note middle voice verb)

 

and (kai) the (hoi) elders (presbuteroi) of you (humōn) shall be caused to dream (enupnaisthēsontai) dreams (enupnia) (note passive voice verb)

 

Acts 2:18 (LIT/UBS4) and (kai) even (ge) upon (epi) the (tous) slaves (doulous) of me (mou), and (kai) upon (epi) the (tas) female slaves (doulas) of me (mou), in (en) the (tais) days (hēmerais) for those things (ekeinais), I shall pour out (ekcheō) from (apo) the (tou) Spirit (pneumatos) of me (mou) and (kai) they shall prophesy (prophēteusousin).

 

(For what is God’s prophesied true “tent”, his new holy place under his new covenant, the prophesied promise of the Father to place himself into believers to live in them as his new permanent domicile, a true “tent” not built with mortal’s hands but with his own hand, see Ex. 15:17; 2 Sam. 7:5-16; Isa. 8:14; Ezek. 11:16; Joel 2:28-29; Amos 9:11-12; Mat. 3:11, 16:18, 26:61, 27:39-40; Mark 14:58, 15:29; Luke 3:21-22, 24:49; *John 2:19-22, 3:1-, 4:20-24, 7:37-39, 14:2, *23; Acts 1:4-5, 2:16-18, 33, 38-39, *7:44-50, *15:16-18, *17:24, *20:28; *Rom. 8:9-11, 12:4-5; 1 Cor. *3:16-17, *6:19-20, 10:16-17, 12:12-28; *2 Cor. 5:1, *6:16-18; Gal. 3:14, 22; Eph. 1:13-14, 22-23, *2:17-22, 3:6, 4:11-16, 5:30-32; Col. 1:18-27, 2:6-10, 3:15; *1 Thes. 5:9-11; *1 Tim. 3:15; *2 Tim. 1:14; Heb. *3:4-6, 8:2, *9:11-15, *24, 10:21, 36; 1 Pet. 2:4-5; 1 John 4:12-16; Rev. 3:12, 7:15, 11:19, *13:6, *21:3, 22)

 

(For slaves having highly esteemed value, see Mat. 10:25, 20:25-28, 24:45-47, 25:14-30; Mark 10:42-45; Luke 7:2-10, 12:37-38, 42-44, 19:12-27; John 15:15-16; Acts 2:18; 1 Tim. 6:1; 2 Tim. 2:24.)

 

Acts 2:19 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) I shall give (dōsō) wonders (terata) in (en) the (tō) heaven (ouranō) up high (anō), and (kai) signs (sēmeia) upon (epi) the (tēs) land (gēs) down below (katō):

 

blood (haima), and (kai) fire (pur), and (kai) [a] mist (atmida) of smoke (kapnou);

 

Acts 2:20 (LIT/UBS4) the (ho) sun (hēlios) shall be turned together (metastraphēsetai) into (eis) darkness (skotos), and (kai) the (hē) bright moon (selēnē) into (eis) blood (haima).

 

[These, AE] [are] to come (elthein) before (prin) the (tēn) great (megalēn) and (kai) conspicuous (epiphanē) day (hēmeran) of [the] lord (kuriou, YHWH).

 

Acts 2:21 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) it shall cause itself to be (estai), perhaps (an) everyone (pas), one who (hos) may cause himself to call aloud upon (epikalesētai) the (to) name (onoma) of [the] lord (kuriou, YHWH), he shall cause himself to be (estai) made whole (sōthēsetai)!”

 

(See Joel 2:28-32)

 

(For the promise of the Father, of God himself placing himself into believers to live in them, see Joel 2:28-29; Mat. 3:11; Luke 24:49; John 7:37-39; Acts 1:4-5, 2:16-21, 33, 39, 20:28; Gal. 3:14, 22; Eph. 1:13-14, 3:6; 1 Thes. 5:9-11; 2 Thes. 2:13-14; Heb. 9:11-15, 10:36-39; 1 Pet. 2:4-9)

 

Acts 2:22 (LIT/UBS4) Males (andres), Israelites (israēlitai), hear (akousate) the (tous) words (logous) of these (toutous)

 

Jesus (Iēsoun) the (ton) Nazarene (nazōraion) [was] [a] male (andra) having been pointed out (apodedeigmenon) from (apo) the (tou) God (theou) into (eis) you (humas).

 

Inherently powered works (dunamesin), and (kai) wonders (terasin), and (kai) signs (sēmeiois) which (hois) the (ho) God (theos) did (epoiēsen) through (di’) him (autou) [were being] in (en) [the] midst (mesō) of you (humōn), down according to as (kathōs) you have seen (oidate) yourselves (autoi)!

 

(For God making Jesus Christ his domicile, and he subsequently working IN and THROUGH Jesus Christ as his mortal agent in this cosmos, see *Mat. 9:8; Mark 6:5; Luke 5:17, 7:16; John 3:2, 5:19-20, 8:16, *29, 9:33, *10:38, *14:10-11, *16-20, 28, 16:32b; *Acts 2:22, 10:38; *2 Cor. 5:18-19; Eph. 3:16-19, 4:6; *Col. 1:19-20, 2:9; 1 John 5:20)

 

Acts 2:23 (LIT/UBS4) This one (touton) having been segregated (hōrismenē) [through, AE] the (tē) counsel (boulē) and (kai) foreknowledge (prognosei) of the (tou) God (theou), [being] [a] given out one (ekdoton) through (dia) [the] hand (cheiron) of lawless ones (anomōn), you annihilated (aneilete), having pegged4362 (prospēxantes) [this one, RE];

 

Acts 2:24 (LIT/UBS4) whom (hon) the (ho) God (theos) stood up (anestesen), he having let loose (lusas) the (tas) pains (ōdinas) of the (tou) death (thanatou);

 

because (kathoti) [death, RE] was absolutely not being (ouk ēn) inherently powered (dunaton) for him (auton) to be powerfully held (krateisthai) under (hup’) it (autou)!

 

Acts 2:25 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) David (Dauid) says (legei), [being] into (eis) him (auton), "I was causing myself to gaze before at (proorōmēn) the (ton) Lord (kurion, YHWH) in sight (enōpion) of me (mou), through (dia) everything (pantos), because (hoti) he is (estin) out (ek) right (dexiōn) of me (mou), in order that (hina) I may not be shaken (mē saleuthō).

 

Acts 2:26 (LIT/UBS4) Through (dia) [the sake, AE] of this (touto) the (hē) heart (kardia) of me (mou) was well-pleased (ēuphranthē), and (kai) the (hē) tongue (glōssa) of me (mou) caused itself to jump for joy (ēgalliasato)

 

'But (de) yet (eti), the (hē) flesh (sarx) of me (mou) shall tent down (kataskēnōsei) over (ep’) hope (elpidi) also (kai),

 

Acts 2:27 (LIT/UBS4) because (hoti) you shall absolutely not leave down (ouk enkataleipseis) into (eis) [a] grave (hadēn) the (tēn) soul (psuchēn) of me (mou)!

 

But (de) you shall absolutely not give (ou dōseis) the (ton) dedicated one (hosion) of you (sou) to see (idein) [a] thorough disintegration (diaphthoran)!

 

Acts 2:28 (LIT/UBS4) You made known (egnōrisas) to me (moi) ways (hodous) of life (zōēs)

 

You shall fill me full (plērōseis me) of well-mindedness (euphrosunēs) with (meta) the (tou) face (prosōpou) of you (sou)!'"

 

(For what the God planned before ages of times, and promised to the Word before it became flesh, that God would not allow his body, after it became flesh, to remain in the grave to decay into a thorough disintegration, see Psalm 16:8-11, 30:1-12, 69:1-36; Isa. 53; Acts 2:25-28, 13:32-37; Rom. 2:7-9, 16:25-27; 1 Cor. 15:42-49; Eph. 1:3-14, 6:24; 2 Tim. 1:8-12; 1 Pet. 1:17-23.)

 

Acts 2:29 (LIT/UBS4) Males (andres), brothers (adelphoi), is it being outside1832 (exon) [of the law, AE] to enunciate (eipein) to (pros) you (humas) with (meta) boldness (parrēsias) about (peri) the (tou) patriarch (patriarchou) David (Dauid), that (hoti) he came to [an] end (eteleutēsen) also (kai), and (kai) he was buried (etaphē);

 

and (kai) the (to) memorial (mnēma) of him (autou) is (estin) among (en) us (hēmin) until (achri) the (tēs) day (hēmeras) of this (tautēs)?

 

Acts 2:30 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun) [David, v29, RE], one being under control (huparchōn), [a] prophet (prophētēs), and (kai) he having seen (eidōs) that (hoti) the (ho) God (theos) swore (ōmosen) to him (autō) [an] oath (horkō) to sit down (kathisai) upon (epi) the (tou) throne (thronon) of him (autou) [a] production (karpou) out (ek) of the (tēs) loin (osphuos) of him (autou),

 

(For Christ Jesus having his own throne, see Mat. 19:28, 25:31; Luke 1:32; Acts 2:30; Col. 3:1; Heb. 1:8, 8:1, 12:2; 1 Pet. 3:22; Rev. 3:21, 5:6, 6:16, 7:9, 17, 12:5, 19:9-10, 21:3, 22:1, 3.)

 

Acts 2:31 (LIT/UBS4) [David, v29, RE] having gazed before at (proidōn) [the production, v30, RE], he spoke (elalēsen) about (peri) the (tēs) standing up (anastaseōs) of the (tou) Christ (Christou), that (hoti) he was absolutely not left down (oute enkateleiphthē) into (eis) [a] grave (hadēn), and the (hē) flesh (sarx) of him (autou) absolutely did not see (oute eiden) [a] thorough disintegration (diaphthoran)!

 

(For the oath of God, see 2 Sam. 7:12-16; Psalm 89)

 

Acts 2:32 (LIT/UBS4) This one (touton), the (ton) Jesus (Iēsoun), the (ho) God (theos) stood up (anestēsen), of whom (hou) we (hēmeis) all (pantes) are (esmen) witnesses (martures)!

 

Acts 2:33 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), [Jesus, v32, RE] having been set above5312 (hupsōtheis) to the (tē) right (dexia) of the (tou) God (theos), and (te) he having received (labōn) the (tēn) promise (epaggelian) of the (tou) Spirit (pneumatos), of the (tou) holy one (hagiou) alongside (para) of the (tou) Father (patros), [Jesus, v32, RE] poured out (execheen) this (touto) which (ho) you (humeis) see (blepete) and (kai) hear (akouete)!

 

(For the God working in and through Christ Jesus to pour out God's gift of holy Spirit Spirit, see Mat. 3:11; Tit. 3:6)

 

(For what is God’s prophesied true “tent”, his new holy place under his new covenant, the prophesied promise of the Father to place himself into believers to live in them as his new permanent domicile, a true “tent” not built with mortal’s hands but with his own hand, see Ex. 15:17; 2 Sam. 7:5-16; Isa. 8:14; Ezek. 11:16; Joel 2:28-29; Amos 9:11-12; Mat. 3:11, 16:18, 26:61, 27:39-40; Mark 14:58, 15:29; Luke 3:21-22, 24:49; *John 2:19-22, 3:1-, 4:20-24, 7:37-39, 14:2, *23; Acts 1:4-5, 2:16-18, 33, 38-39, *7:44-50, *15:16-18, *17:24, *20:28; *Rom. 8:9-11, 12:4-5; 1 Cor. *3:16-17, *6:19-20, 10:16-17, 12:12-28; *2 Cor. 5:1, *6:16-18; Gal. 3:14, 22; Eph. 1:13-14, 22-23, *2:17-22, 3:6, 4:11-16, 5:30-32; Col. 1:18-27, 2:6-10, 3:15; *1 Thes. 5:9-11; *1 Tim. 3:15; *2 Tim. 1:14; Heb. *3:4-6, 8:2, *9:11-15, *24, 10:21, 36; 1 Pet. 2:4-5; 1 John 4:12-16; Rev. 3:12, 7:15, 11:19, *13:6, *21:3, 22)

 

(See Mark 16:19; John 7:39, 13:32; Acts 2:33; Heb. 12:2; 1 Pet. 1:8)

 

Acts 2:34 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) David (Dauid) absolutely did not step up (ou anebē) into (eis) the (tous) heavens (ouranous), but (de) he (autos) says (legei), ‘The (ho) Lord (kurios, YHWH) enunciated (eipen) to the (tō) lord (kuriō, ādôn) of me (mou), “Cause yourself to sit down (kathou) out (ek) right (dexiōn) of me (mou)

 

Acts 2:35 (LIT/UBS4) until (heōs) perhaps (an) I may put (thō) the (tous) hated ones (echthrous) of you (sou) [as, AE] [a] footstool under (hupopodion) the (tōn) feet (podōn) of you (sou)!”

 

(For Christ Jesus' footstool, see Psalm 110:1; Mat. 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:43; Acts 2:35; *Rom. 16:20; 1 Cor. 15:25-28; Eph. 1:22; Heb. 1:13, 2:8, 10:13)

 

Acts 2:36 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), know (ginōsketō) securely (asphalōs), all (pas) the (ho) house (oikos) of Israel (Israēl), that (hoti) the (ho) God (theos) has made (epoiēsen) him (auton) both (kai) [a] lord (kurion) and (kai) Christ (Christon), this one (touton), the (ton) Jesus (Iēsoun) whom (hon) you (humeis) staked (estaurosate)!”

 

Acts 2:37 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) having heard (akosantes) [Peter, RE] they were pierced down (katenugēsan) [into, AE] the (tē) heart (kardia);

 

and (te) they enunciated (eipon) to (pros) the (ton) Peter (Petron) and (kai) the (tous) remaining (loitous) apostles (apostolous), “What (ti) may we do (poiēsōmen), males (andres), brothers (adelphoi)?

 

Acts 2:38 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) Peter (Petros) shed light5346 (phēsin) to (pros) them (autous), “Repent (metanoēsate) and (kai) be baptized (baptisthētō), each one (hekastos) of you (humōn), over (epi) the (tō) name (onomati) of Jesus (Iēsou) Christ (Christou), into (eis) [a] letting go (aphesin) of the (tōn) sins (hamartiōn) of you (humōn).

 

And (kai) you shall cause yourselves to receive (lēmpsesthe) the (tēn) gift (dōrean) of the (tou) holy (hagiou) Spirit (pneumatos)!

 

Acts 2:39 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) to you (humin) is (estin) the (hē) promise (epaggelia), and (kai) to the (tois) ones born (teknois) of you (humōn), and (kai) to all (pasin) the ones (tois) into (eis) distance (makran), perhaps (an) as many as (hosous) [the] lord (kurios) may cause himself to call aloud to (proskalesētai) the (ho) God (theos) of us (hēmōn)."

Acts 2:41 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), truly (men), the ones (hoi) having caused themselves to receive from (apodexamenoi) the (ton) Word (logon) of him (autou) were baptized (ebaptisthēsan)

 

And (kai) there were added to (prosetethēsan) [Jesus Christ, v38, RE] in (en) the (tē) day (hēmera) of that (ekeinē) as if (hōsei) three thousands (trischiliai) of souls (psuchai)!

 

Acts 2:42 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) they were being (ēsan) ones persevering forward (proskarterountes) in (en) to the (tē) orthodoxy (didachē) of the (tōn) apostles (apostolōn), and (kai) to the (tē) fellowship (koinonia) - to the (tē) breaking (klasei) of the (tou) bread (artou), and (kai) to the (tais) prayers of well-thankfulness to4335 (proseuchais) [God, AE].

 

Acts 2:43 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) for every (pasē) soul (psuchē) fear (phobos) was being caused to come to pass (egineto).

Acts 2:44 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) all (pantes) the ones (hoi) believing (pisteuontes) were being (ēsan) [ones believing, RE] over (epi) [the sake, AE] of the (to) same (auto) [belief, v 2:44, 47, Eph. 4:5, Tit. 1:4, RE].

Acts 2:46 (LIT/UBS4) And (te) down (kath’) [each, AE] day (hēmeran) they were persevering forward (proskarterountes), like-passioned (homothumadon) in (en) the (tō) sacred place (hierō)

 

And (te) they were ones breaking (klōntes) bread (arton) down (kat’) [each, AE] house (oikon), partaking (metelambanon) of food (tropsēs) in (en) jumping for joy (agalliasei), and (kai) [in, RE] singleness of purpose (apselotēti) of heart (kardias)

 

Acts 2:47 (LIT/UBS4) they were praising (ainountes) the (ton) God (theon).

 

And (kai) they were holding (echontes) grace (charin) toward (pros) the (ton) whole (holos) people (laon)

(For the birth and growth of the assembly, of the one body of Christ, of the ones being added who believe upon the name of Jesus, see Acts 2:41, 47, 5:14)

 

(For where the lord was adding more to the ones being made whole, see Acts 2:46-47, in the sacred place and upon the same place, and Acts 5:12, in the colonnade of Solomon)
