Acts 2:14-39 But Peter stepped forth with the eleven, and lift up his voice, and said unto them, "Ye men of Jewry, and all ye that inhabit Jerusalem: be this known unto you, and with your ears hear my words.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ But Peter stepped forth with the eleven, and lift up his voice, and said unto them, "Ye men of Jewry, and all ye that inhabit Jerusalem: be this known unto you, and with your ears hear my words. ¹⁵ These are not drunken, as ye suppose — For it is yet but the third hour of the day - ¹⁶ but this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel, ¹⁷ 'It shall be in the last days, saith God, of my spirit I will pour out 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 on my servants, and on my handmaidens I will pour out of my spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. ¹⁹ And I will show wonders in heaven above, and tokens in the earth beneath, blood and fire, and the vapour of smoke. ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great, and notable day of the Lord come.' ²¹ And it shall be that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. ²² "Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you with miracles and wonders, and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know: ²³ him have ye taken by the hands of unrighteous persons, after he was delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, and have crucified and slain him whom God hath raised up: ²⁴ and loosed the sorrows of death, because it was impossible that he should be holden of it. ²⁵ For David speaketh of him, 'Aforehand, saw I God always before me: For he is on my righthand, that I should not be moved. ²⁶ Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad. Moreover also, my flesh shall rest in hope ²⁷ because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt suffer thine holy to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou hast showed me the ways of life; and shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.' ²⁹ "Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David: For he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre remaineth with us unto his day. ³⁰ Therefore seeing he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him, that the fruit of his loins should sit on his seat — in that Christ should rise again in the flesh - ³¹ He saw before, and spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul should not be left in hell: neither his flesh should see corruption. ³² This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. ³³ Since now that he by the righthand of God exalted is, and hath received of the father the promise of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth that which ye now see and hear. ³⁴ For David is not ascended into heaven, but he said, ³⁵ 'The Lord said to my Lord sit on my right hand, until I make thy foes, thy footstool.' ³⁶ So therefore let all the house of Israel know for a surety, that God hath made the same Jesus whom ye have crucified, Lord and Christ." ³⁷ When they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter, and unto the other apostles, "Ye men and brethren, what shall we do?" ³⁸ Peter said unto them, "Repent, and be baptised every one of of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy ghost. ³⁹ "For the promise was made unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar, even as many as the Lord God shall call."
