* But Peter , standing up (5685 ) with the eleven , lifted up (5656 ) his voice , and said (5662 ) unto them , Ye men of Judaea , and all ye that dwell (5723 ) at Jerusalem , be (5749 ) this known unto you , and hearken (5663 ) to my words : * For these are not drunken (5719 ), as ye suppose (5719 ), seeing it is (5748 ) but the third hour of the day . * But this is (5748 ) that which was spoken (5772 ) by the prophet Joel ; * And it shall come to pass (5704 ) in the last days , saith (5719 ) God , I will pour out (5692 ) of my Spirit upon all flesh : and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy (5692 ), and your young men shall see (5695 ) visions , and your old men shall dream (5701 ) dreams : * And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out (5692 ) in those days of my Spirit ; and they shall prophesy (5692 ): * And I will shew (5692 ) wonders in heaven above , and signs in the earth beneath ; blood , and fire , and vapour of smoke : * The sun shall be turned (5691 ) into darkness , and the moon into blood , before that great and notable day of the Lord come (5629 ): * And it shall come to pass (5704 ), that whosoever shall call on (5672 ) the name of the Lord shall be saved (5701 ). * Ye men of Israel , hear (5657 ) these words ; Jesus of Nazareth , a man approved (5772 ) of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs , which God did (5656 ) by him in the midst of you , as ye yourselves also know (5758 ): * Him , being delivered by the determinate (5772 ) counsel and foreknowledge of God , ye have taken (5631 ), and by wicked hands have crucified (5660 ) and slain (5627 ): * Whom God hath raised up (5656 ), having loosed (5660 ) the pains of death : because it was (5713 ) not possible that he should be holden (5745 ) of it . * For David speaketh (5719 ) concerning him , I foresaw (5710 ) the Lord always before my face , for he is (5748 ) on my right hand , that I should not be moved (5686 ): * Therefore did my heart rejoice (5681 ), and my tongue was glad (5662 ); moreover also my flesh shall rest (5692 ) in hope : * Because thou wilt not leave (5692 ) my soul in hell , neither wilt thou suffer (5692 ) thine Holy One to see (5629 ) corruption . * Thou hast made known (5656 ) to me the ways of life ; thou shalt make me full (5692 ) of joy with thy countenance . * Men and brethren , let me (5752 ) freely speak (5629 ) unto you of the patriarch David , that he is both dead (5656 ) and buried (5648 ), and his sepulchre is (5748 ) with us unto this day . * Therefore being (5723 ) a prophet , and knowing (5761 ) that God had sworn (5656 ) with an oath to him , that of the fruit of his loins , according to the flesh , he would raise up (5693 ) Christ to sit (5658 ) on his throne ; * He seeing this before (5631 ) spake (5656 ) of the resurrection of Christ , that his soul was not left (5681 ) in hell , neither his flesh did see (5627 ) corruption . * This Jesus hath God raised up (5656 ), whereof we all are (5748 ) witnesses . * Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted (5685 ), and having received (5631 ) of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost , he hath shed forth (5656 ) this , which ye now see (5719 ) and hear (5719 ). * For David is not ascended (5627 ) into the heavens : but he saith (5719 ) himself , The LORD said (5627 ) unto my Lord , Sit thou (5737 ) on my right hand , * Until I make (5632 ) thy foes thy footstool . * Therefore let all the house of Israel know (5720 ) assuredly , that God hath made (5656 ) that same Jesus , whom ye have crucified (5656 ), both Lord and Christ . * Now when they heard (5660 ) this , they were pricked (5648 ) in their heart , and said (5627 ) unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles , Men and brethren , what shall we do (5692 )? * Then Peter said (5713 ) unto them , Repent (5657 ), and be baptized (5682 ) every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins , and ye shall receive (5695 ) the gift of the Holy Ghost . * For the promise is (5748 ) unto you , and to your children , and to all that are afar off , even as many as the Lord our God shall call (5667 ). * And with many other words did he testify (5711 ) and exhort (5707 ), saying (5723 ), Save yourselves (5682 ) from this untoward generation . * Then they that gladly received (5666 ) his word were baptized (5681 ): and the same day there were added (5681 ) unto them about three thousand souls . * And they continued (5713 ) stedfastly (5723 ) in the apostles doctrine and fellowship , and in breaking of bread , and in prayers .
