Acts 2:12–21

¹²And ^sall were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” ¹³But others ^tmocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”

Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost

¹⁴But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. ¹⁵For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, ^usince it is only the third hour of the day.^{2 16}But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

^17v“ ‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,

^wthat I will pour out my Spirit ^xon all flesh,

and your sons and ^yyour daughters shall prophesy,

and your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams;

¹⁸even on my male servants and female servants

in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and ^zthey shall prophesy.

¹⁹And I will show wonders in the heavens above

and signs on the earth below,

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;

^20athe sun shall be turned to darkness

and the moon to blood,

before ^bthe day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.

²¹And it shall come to pass that ^ceveryone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
