12All those people were amazed, and did not know what to think about what was happening. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13But some of them ◄made fun of/laughed at► those who believed in Jesus. They said, “ These people are talking like this because they are drunk!”
14So Peter stood up with the other eleven apostles and spoke loudly to the crowd of people, saying, “ My fellow Jews and you others who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
15Some of you think that we(exc) are drunk , but we are not drunk. It is only nine o'clock in the morning, and people here never get drunk this early in the day!
16Instead, what has happened to us is the miraculous thing that the prophet Joel wrote about long ago. Joel wrote: God says,
17‘During the last/final days before I judge all people, I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people SYN everywhere. As a result, your sons and daughters will tell people messages from me, the young men among you will see visions from me, and the old men among you will have dreams that I will give them.
18During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit even to men and women believers who are my slaves/servants, so they can tell people messages from me.
19I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show that I am powerful. Here on the earth CHI I will cause wars with blood, fire and thick/dark smoke everywhere.
20In the sky the sun will appear dark to people and the moon will appear red to them. Those things will happen before the important and splendid/amazing day MTY when I, the Lord God, will come to judge everyone.
21Before that time, all those who ask me MTY to save them from the guilt of their sins will be saved { I, the Lord, will save all those who ask me MTY to save them from the guilt of their sins.}’”
22Peter continued , “ My fellow Israelites, listen to me! When Jesus from Nazareth town lived among you, God proved to you that he had sent him by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know that this is true .
