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,
2:27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades, 28
nor permit your Holy One to experience 29 decay.
2:28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will make me full of joy with your presence.’ 30
2:29 “Brothers, 31 I can speak confidently 32 to you about our forefather 33 David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 2:30 So then, because 34 he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants 35 on his throne, 36 2:31 David by foreseeing this 37 spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, 38 that he was neither abandoned to Hades, 39 nor did his body 40 experience 41 decay. 42 2:32 This Jesus God raised up, and we are all witnesses of it. 43 2:33 So then, exalted 44 to the right hand 45 of God, and having received 46 the promise of the Holy Spirit 47 from the Father, he has poured out 48 what you both see and hear. 2:34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says,
‘The Lord said to my lord,
“Sit 49 at my right hand
2:35 until I make your enemies a footstool 50 for your feet.”’ 51
2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt 52 that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified 53 both Lord 54 and Christ.” 55
