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.
23This man was handed over by God's predetermined plan and foreknowledge; and you, by the hand of lawless men, put him to death by nailing him to a cross.
24But God raised him up, freeing him from the pains of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
25For David says about him, 'I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is beside my right hand so that I should not be moved.
26Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Also, my flesh will live in certain hope.
27For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.
28You revealed to me the ways of life; you will make me full of gladness with your face.'
29Brothers, I can speak to you confidently about the patriarch David, he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30Therefore, he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him, that he would set one of the fruit of his body upon his throne.
31He saw what was to happen in the future and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, 'He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.'
32This Jesus—God raised him up, of which we all are witnesses.
33Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promised Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out what you see and hear.
34For David did not ascend to the heaven, but he says, 'The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
35until I make your enemies the stool for your feet.”'
36Therefore, let all the house of Israel certainly know that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37Now when they heard this, they were pierced in their hearts, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38Then Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
