MLV(i)
16 But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel,
17 God says, ‘And it will be in the last days, I will pour out from My Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young-men will see visions and your elderly-men will dream dreams.
18 For-sure, I will pour out of my Spirit upon my male bondservants and upon my female bondservants in those days, and they will prophesy.
19 And I will be giving you wonders in the heaven above and signs upon the earth below; blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and illustrious day of the Lord comes.
21 And it will be, that everyone, whoever calls upon the name of the Lord, will be saved.’
22 Men, Israelites! Hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man from God, having been shown to you by miracles and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, just-as you yourselves also know; 23 being given up by what had been determined by the plan and foreknowledge of God, you assassinated him, having taken him and fastened him to a cross through lawless hands; 24 whom God raised up, having loosed the travails of death, insomuch as it was not possible for him to be held-fast by it. 25 For David says in regard to him, ‘I am seeing the Lord always before my face, in my sight, because he is at my right hand, in order that I might not be shaken. 26 Because of this, my heart was joyous and my tongue was glad. Now my flesh will also reside in hope; 27 because you will not forsake my soul to Hades, neither will you give your Holy One to see decay. 28 You made known to me the ways of life. You will fill me with joy with your countenance.’ 29 Brethren, it is legal for me to speak publicly to you concerning the patriarch David, that he is both dead and was buried and his tomb is among us to this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that from the fruit of his loins, to raise up the Christ according to the flesh to sit upon his throne. 31 Foreseeing this, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul left to Hades, nor did his flesh see decay. 32 This Jesus, God raised up, of whom we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore having been exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out this, which you are seeing and hearing now. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, 35 until I should place your enemies as the footstool of your feet.’ 36 Therefore, let all the house of Israel know with certainty, that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.
