Acts 2:15–24

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.’

²²“Men of Israel, listen to these words: ^aJesus the Nazarene, ^ba man ¹attested to you by God with ²miracles and ^cwonders and ³signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know—

²³this Man, delivered over by the ^apredetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, ^byou nailed to a cross by the hands of ¹godless men and put Him to death.

²⁴“¹But ^aGod raised Him up again, putting an end to the ²agony of death, since it ^bwas impossible for Him to be held ³in its power.
