2:14 But Peter stood up 1 with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: “You men of Judea 2 and all you who live in Jerusalem, 3 know this 4 and listen carefully to what I say. 2:15 In spite of what you think, these men are not drunk, 5 for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. 6 2:16 But this is what was spoken about through the prophet Joel: 7
2:17 ‘And in the last days 8 it will be,’ God says,
‘that I will pour out my Spirit on all people, 9
and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
and your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
2:18 Even on my servants, 10 both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 11
2:19 And I will perform wonders in the sky 12 above
and miraculous signs 13 on the earth below,
blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
2:20 The sun will be changed to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the great and glorious 14 day of the Lord comes.
2:21 And then 15 everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ 16
2:22 “Men of Israel, 17 listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man clearly attested to you by God with powerful deeds, 18 wonders, and miraculous signs 19 that God performed among you through him, just as you yourselves know – 2:23 this man, who was handed over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed 20 by nailing him to a cross at the hands of Gentiles. 21 2:24 But God raised him up, 22 having released 23 him from the pains 24 of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power. 25 2:25 For David says about him,
‘I saw the Lord always in front of me, 26
for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.
2:26 Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced;
my body 27 also will live in hope,
