Acts 2:14-21

English Standard Version

Peter's Sermon at Pentecost

¹⁴But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. ¹⁵For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, ^(A)since it is only the third hour of the day.^[a] ¹⁶But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷^(B)“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
^(C)that I will pour out my Spirit ^(D)on all flesh,
and your sons and ^(E)your daughters shall prophesy,
    and your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams;
¹⁸even on my male servants and female servants
    in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and ^(F)they shall prophesy.
¹⁹And I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
²⁰^(G)the sun shall be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood,
    before ^(H)the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
²¹And it shall come to pass that ^(I)everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
