Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost
14 But Peter, taking his stand with athe eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: “Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words. 15 For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, afor it is the third hour of the day; 16 but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 ‘aAnd it shall be in the last days,’ God says,
‘That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see visions,
And your old men shall dream dreams;
18 Even on My male slaves and female slaves,
I will in those days pour out My Spirit
And they shall prophesy.
19 And I will put wonders in the sky above
And signs on the earth below,
Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood,
Before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
21 And it will be that aeveryone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
