2:16
No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
2:17
‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
2:18
Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
2:19
I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
2:20
The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.
2:21
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
2:22
Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.
2:23
He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.
2:24
But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep Him in its grip.
2:25
David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
2:26
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,
2:27
because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.
2:28
You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’
2:29
Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
2:30
But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.
2:31
Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.
2:32
God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.
2:33
Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
2:34
For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
2:35
until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
2:36
Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”
