Acts 2:15–24

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.’^*

²²“Fellow Israelites,^h listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth,ⁱ a man attested to you by God with deeds of power, wonders, and signs that God did through him among you, as you yourselves know^*—²³this man, handed over to you according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law.^{* 24}But God raised him up, having released him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power.^*
