Acts 2:4-22

⁴They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them to speak.

⁵Now there were Jews who were living in Jerusalem, godly men, from every nation under heaven.

⁶When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and was confused because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

⁷They were amazed and marveled; they said, “Really, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

⁸Why is it that we are hearing them, each in our own language in which we were born?

⁹Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,

¹⁰Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya toward Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,

¹¹Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our languages about the mighty works of God.”

¹²They were all amazed and perplexed; they said to one another, “What does this mean?”

¹³But others mocked and said, “They are full of new wine.”

¹⁴But Peter stood with the eleven, raised his voice, and said to them, “Men of Judea and all of you who live at Jerusalem, let this be known to you; pay attention to my words.

¹⁵For these people are not drunk as you assume, for 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,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸Also on my servants and my female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

¹⁹I will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth below, blood, fire, and vapor of smoke.

²⁰The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and remarkable day of the Lord comes.

²¹It will be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'

²²Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man accredited to you by God by the mighty deeds, the wonders, and the signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.
