*
So they were all amazed and perplexed ,
saying to one another , "
Whatever could this mean ?"
*
Others mocking said , "
They are full of new wine ."
*
But Peter ,
standing up with the eleven ,
raised his voice and said to them , "
Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem ,
let this be known to you ,
and heed my words .
*
For these are not drunk ,
as you suppose ,
since it is only the third hour of the day .
*
But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel :
* "
And it shall come to pass in the last days ,
says God ,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh ;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy ,
Your young men shall see visions ,
Your old men shall dream dreams .
*
And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days ;
And they shall prophesy .
*
I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath :
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke .
*
The sun shall be turned into darkness ,
And the moon into blood ,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD .
*
And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved .'
* "
Men of Israel ,
hear these words :
Jesus of Nazareth ,
a Man attested by God to you by miracles ,
wonders ,
and signs which God did through Him in your midst ,
as you yourselves also know --
*
Him ,
being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God ,
you have taken by lawless hands ,
have crucified ,
and put to death ;
*
whom God raised up ,
having loosed the pains of death ,
because it was not possible that He should be held by it .
*
For David says concerning Him : "
I foresaw the LORD always before my face ,
For He is at my right hand ,
that I may not be shaken .
*
Therefore my heart rejoiced ,
and my tongue was glad ;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope .
*
For You will not leave my soul in Hades ,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption .
*
You have made known to me the ways of life ;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence .'
* "
Men and brethren ,
let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David ,
that he is both dead and buried ,
and his tomb is with us to this day .
*
Therefore ,
being a prophet ,
and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body ,
according to the flesh ,
He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne ,
*
he ,
foreseeing this ,
spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ ,
that His soul was not left in Hades ,
nor did His flesh see corruption .
*
This Jesus God has raised up ,
of which we are all witnesses .
