Peter Raises His Voice

14But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.”

15For these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.

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

17And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out from my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

18Even on my male servants and my female servants in those days I will pour out from my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

19And I will give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and a cloud of smoke.

20The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

22Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, just as you yourselves know—

23this man, delivered up according to the determined plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed by nailing him to a cross through the hands of lawless men.

24whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

25For David says concerning him, ‘I kept seeing the Lord before me continually, because he is at my right hand, so that I may not be shaken.’

26Because of this my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover, even my flesh will dwell in hope.

27because you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.

28You made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with gladness with your presence.

29Men, brothers, I may speak to you with boldness about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us to this day.

30Therefore, being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one from the fruit of his loins on his throne,

31Foreseeing this, he spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah: that he was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.

32God raised up this Jesus, of whom we all are witnesses.

33Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.

34For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,”’

35until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.

36Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Messiah—this Jesus whom you crucified.
