Acts 2:16-21

Peter's Sermon at Pentecost

16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

17 v "'And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
w that I will pour out my Spirit x on all flesh,
and your sons and y your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants 1 and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and z they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20 a the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before b the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that c everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
