¹⁵For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it’s only nine in the morning. ^r¹⁶On 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 humanity;

then your sons and your daughters will prophesy,

your young men will see visions,

and your old men will dream dreams. ^s

¹⁸I will even pour out My Spirit

on My male and female slaves in those days,

and they will prophesy. ^t

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 ^u

before the great and remarkable Day of the Lord ^v comes.

²¹Then everyone who calls

on the name of the Lord will be saved. ^w^x

²²“Men of Israel, listen to these words: This Jesus the Nazarene was a man pointed out to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did among you through Him, just as you yourselves know. ^y²³Though He was delivered up according to God’s determined plan and foreknowledge, you used ^zlawless people ^ato nail Him to a cross and kill Him. ^b²⁴God raised Him up, ending the pains of death, ^cbecause it was not possible for Him to be held by it.

Read in Logos

Acts 2:24: God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
