Acts 2:14-18

¹⁴Then Peter got up to talk to those people. The 11 other close followers of Jesus got up too. Peter said, in a loud voice, “All you mob that are Jews that live in Jerusalem, listen to me properly now and I’ll tell you the true story.

¹⁵You reckon we are drunk, but no, we are not drunk. It is only 9 o’clock in the morning, too early for anyone to get drunk.

¹⁷‘God said, “In the last days, before I judge everybody, I will give my Holy Spirit to everyone. I will give my spirit to your sons and daughters and they will tell other people the things that I tell them to say. Your young men will see the special things that I will show them, and your old men will dream about the special things I want them to know.

¹⁸I will even give my Holy Spirit to all my workers, men and women, and they will tell other people the things that I tell them to say.”
