Acts 2:15–24

¹⁵For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it’s only nine in the morning.^{F 16}On the contrary, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷And it will be in the last days, says God,

that I will pour out my Spirit on all people;

then your sons and your daughters will prophesy,

your young men will see visions,

and your old men will dream dreams.^k

¹⁸I will even pour out my Spirit

on my servants in those days, both men and women

and they will prophesy.^l

¹⁹I will display wonders in the heaven above

and signs on the earth below:

blood and fire and a cloud of smoke.

²⁰The sun will be turned to darkness

and the moon to blood^m

before the great and glorious day of the Lordⁿ comes.

²¹Then everyone who calls

on the name of the Lord will be saved.^Ao

²²“Fellow Israelites, listen to these words: This Jesus of Nazareth was a man attested to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did among you through him, just as you yourselves know.^{p 23}Though he was delivered up according to God’s determined plan and foreknowledge, you used^B lawless people to nail him to a cross and kill him.^{q 24}God raised him up, ending the pains of death,^r because it was not possible for him to be held by death.
