11Cretans and Arabians; we hear them declaring the great works of God in our own languages.”
12Yes they were all amazed and perplexed, saying one to another, “Whatever is going on?”
13But different ones were jeering, saying, “They are full of sweet wine!”
14So Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and proclaimed to them: “Men—Jews and all who are dwelling in Jerusalem—let this be known to you; indeed, listen to my speech!
15Because these are not drunk, as you suppose (since it is only the third hour of the day),
16but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17‘It will be in the last days, says God: I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and your daughters will prophesy; your young men will see visions; your old men will dream a dream.
18In those days I will indeed pour out from my Spirit upon my male slaves and upon my female slaves, and they will prophesy.
19I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and smoke vapor.
20The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into ‘blood’ before the great and glorious day of the Lord will come.
21And it will be: whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!’
22“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Natsorean, a man from God attested to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in your midst, as you yourselves well know,
23Him—being delivered up by the established purpose and foreknowledge of God—you murdered, having taken Him with lawless hands and crucified Him;
24whom God raised up, ending the labor pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
25For David says concerning Him: ‘I always saw the Lord before my face, because He is at my right side so that I not be shaken.
26Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Furthermore, even my flesh will repose upon hope,
27because You will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see decay.
28You have made known to me roads of life; with Your presence You make me full of gladness.’
29“Men, brothers, be it permitted to speak to you plainly about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30So then, he being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath that of the fruit, according to flesh, of his loins He would raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne,
31he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah, that His soul was not abandoned in Hades, nor did His flesh see decay.
