15For these are not drunk, as you suppose, jsince it is only 5the third hour of the day. 16But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17‘And kit shall come to pass in the last days, says God,

lThat I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;

Your sons and myour daughters shall prophesy,

Your young men shall see visions,

Your old men shall dream dreams.

18And on My menservants and on My maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days;

nAnd they shall prophesy.

19oI will show wonders in heaven above

And signs in the earth beneath:

Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

20pThe sun shall be turned into darkness,

And the moon into blood,

Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.

21And it shall come to pass

That qwhoever calls on the name of the Lord

Shall be saved.’

22“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you rby miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—23Him, sbeing delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, tyou 6have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24uwhom God raised up, having 7loosed the 8pains of death, because it was not possible that He should 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.
