Peter’s Sermon on the Day of Pentecost

¹⁴But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them, “Judean men, and all those who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and pay attention to my words! ¹⁵For these men are not drunk, as you assume, because it is the third hour of the day. ¹⁶But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

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

‘I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,

and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,

and your young men will see visions,

and your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸And even on my male slaves and on my female slaves

I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

¹⁹And I will cause wonders in the heaven^g above

and signs on the earth below,

blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

²⁰The sun will be changed to darkness

and the moon to blood,

before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

²¹And it will be that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.’^h
