9Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome,
11Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.
12And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another: What meaneth this?
13But others mocking, said: These men are full of new wine.
14But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words.
15For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day:
16But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel:
17And it shall come to pass, in the last days, (saith the Lord,) I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18And upon my servants indeed, and upon my handmaids will I pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke.
20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord come.
21And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
22Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know:
23This same being delivered up, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.
24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it.
25For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.
26For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.
30Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.
31Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.
