 Acts 2 tells the story of the beginning of the church in Jerusalem with the events of Pentecost. On this day the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in languages foreign to them (<autott>acts_2:4|Acts 2:4</autott>) and preach to a crowd. Peter proclaimed the good news of Jesus Christ, and about three thousand became Christians that day. Acts 2 tells the story of the beginning of the church in Jerusalem with the events of Pentecost.

 Peter went on to call the people to respond: "Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (<autott>acts_2:38|Acts 2:38</autott>). That day about three thousand accepted his message, were baptised, and were added to the number of believers. These first converts were Jews, both from Judea and from the wider Jewish Diaspora. They became known as "followers of the Way" (<autott>acts_9:2|Acts 9:2</autott>). Peter went on to call the people to respond: "Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (<autott>acts_2:38|Acts 2:38</autott>).

-The outpouring of the Spirit had been promised long before. Joel had spoken of it, but so had Moses (<autott>numbers_11:29|Numbers 11:29</autott>), Jeremiah (<autott>jeremiah_31:31|Jeremiah 31:31</autott>), Ezekiel ([[Ezekiel 36]]:25–27 and <autott>ezekile_37:14|Ezekiel 37:14</autott>), and John the Baptist, who said that the coming one would baptise with the Holy Spirit. Pentecost was the fulfillment of these promises and the sign that the "last days" had now begun (<autott>acts_2:17|Acts 2:17<autott>).+The outpouring of the Spirit had been promised long before.

 The chapter closes with a picture of the new community that was formed. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to fellowship, the breaking of bread, and to prayer. They shared their possessions, cared for one another, and met daily in the temple and in their homes. With joy and simplicity, they praised God, and the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved (Acts 2:42–47). The chapter closes with a picture of the new community that was formed.
