Acts 2:9-20

⁹Parthians and Medes and Elamites; those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,

¹⁰in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; and visitors from Rome—both Jews and proselytes—

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.
