Acts 2:15–24

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

²²“Israelite men, listen to these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, just as you yourselves know—²³this man, delivered up by the determined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed by^* nailing to a cross^* through the hand of lawless men. ²⁴God raised himⁱ up, having brought to an end the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
