10in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the districts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; some of us are visitors from Rome,
11either Jews by birth or converts, and some are Cretans and Arabians — yet we all alike hear them speaking in our own languages of the great things that God has done.”
12They were all utterly amazed and bewildered. “What does it mean?” they asked one another.
13But there were some who said with a sneer, “They have had too much new wine.”
14Then Peter, surrounded by the eleven other apostles, stood up, and, raising his voice, addressed the crowd. “People of Judea,” he began, “and all you who are staying in Jerusalem, let me tell you what this means. Mark well my words.
15These people are not drunk, as you suppose; for it is only now nine in the morning! No!
16This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel —
17‘It will come about in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; Your sons and your daughters will become prophets, Your young men will see visions, And your old men dream dreams;
18Yes, even on the slaves — for they are mine — both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit, And they will become prophets;
19And I will show wonders in the heavens above, And signs on the earth below — Blood and fire and mist of smoke;
20The sun will become darkness, And the moon blood-red, Before the day of the Lord comes — that great and awful day.
21Then will everyone who invokes the name of the Lord be saved.’
22People of Israel, listen to what I am saying. Jesus of Nazareth, a man whose mission from God to you was proved by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God showed amongst you through him, as you know full well —
23He, I say, in accordance with God's definite plan and with his previous knowledge, was betrayed, and you, by the hands of lawless men, nailed him to a cross and put him to death.
24But God released him from the pangs of death and raised him to life, it being impossible for death to retain its hold on him.
25Indeed he was the one David was referring to when he said — ‘I have had the Lord ever before my eyes, For he stands at my right hand, so that I should not be disquieted.
26Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; Yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;
27For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, Nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption.
28You have shown me the path to life, You will fill me with gladness in your presence.’
