Acts 2:12–21

¹²And ^athey all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

¹³But others were mocking and saying, “^aThey are full of ¹sweet wine.”

Peter’s Sermon

¹⁴But Peter, ¹taking his stand with ^athe eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: “Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words.

¹⁵“For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, ^afor it is only the ¹third hour of the day;

¹⁶but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷‘^aAnd it shall be in the last days,’ God says,

‘That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all ¹mankind;

And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

And your young men shall see visions,

And your old men shall dream dreams;

¹⁸Even on My bondslaves, both men and women,

I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit

And they shall prophesy.

¹⁹‘And I will grant wonders in the sky above

And signs on the earth below,

Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.

²⁰‘The sun will be turned into darkness

And the moon into blood,

Before the great and glorious day of the Lord shall come.

²¹‘And it shall be that ^aeveryone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
