Acts 2:12–21

¹²All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” ¹³But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.”

Peter Addresses the Crowd

¹⁴But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Fellow Jews^g and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. ¹⁵Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning.^{* 16}No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷‘In the last days it will be, God declares,

that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,

and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

and your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.^*

¹⁸Even upon my slaves, both men and women,

in those days I will pour out my Spirit,

and they shall prophesy.^*

¹⁹And I will show portents in the heaven above

and signs on the earth below,

blood, and fire, and smoky mist.

²⁰The sun shall be turned to darkness

and the moon to blood,

before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.^*

²¹Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’^*
