Acts 2:16-36

Lamsa(i) 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 It shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And upon my servants and upon my maidservants will I pour out my spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will show wonders in heaven, and signs on the earth; blood and fire and vapor of smoke: 20 The sun shall be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and fearful day of the Lord shall come. 21 And it shall come to pass that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 22 Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man of God, who appeared among you by miracles and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves know: 23 The very one who was chosen for this purpose from the very beginning of knowledge and will of God, you have delivered into the hands of wicked men, and you have crucified and murdered him: 24 Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible for the grave to hold him. 25 For David said concerning him, I foresaw my Lord always, for he is on my right hand, so that I should not be shaken: 26 Therefore my heart is comforted and my glory is exalted; even my body shall rest in hope: 27 Because you will not leave my soul in the grave neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. 28 You have revealed to me the way of life; you will fill me with joy with your presence. 29 Now men and brethren, permit me to speak to you openly concerning Patriarch David, who is dead and buried and whose sepulchre is with us to this day. 30 For he was a prophet, and he knew that God had sworn by an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up one to sit on his throne. 31 So he foresaw and spoke concerning the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in the grave, neither did his body see corruption. 32 This very Jesus, God has raised up, and we are all his witnesses. 33 It is he who is exalted by the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, and has poured out gifts which you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend into heaven, because he himself said, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this very Jesus whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
