Acts 2 Summary
Acts 2 records the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and Peter’s sermon, when about three thousand were added to the church.
The Spirit comes with wind and fire, and the disciples speak in many languages. Peter explains it as the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy and proclaims the risen Jesus.
Cut to the heart, the crowd asks what to do; Peter calls them to ‘repent and be baptized,’ and the church is born and begins to share life together.
