will I pour out of my spirit; and they shall prophesy: (19)and I will perform prodigies in the heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke. (20)The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and illustrious day of the Lord come. (21)And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Lord shall be saved[25]." (22)Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarean, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yourselves also know: (23)him, by the destined counsel and foreknowledge of God delivered up, ye have seized, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: (24)whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby. (25)For David speaketh concerning him, "I have seen the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand, that I might not be shaken: (26)therefore is my heart full of joy, and my tongue hath exulted; and still shall my flesh also repose in hope, (27)that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor permit that Holy One of thine to see corruption. (28)Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with delight by thy countenance[26]." (29)Men and brethren, permit me to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he hath been both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us to this day. (30)Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah to sit upon his throne; (31)he, foreseeing this, spake of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul should not be left in the mansion of the dead, and that his flesh should not see corruption. (32)This very Jesus hath God raised up, of which we all are witnesses. (33)He therefore being exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, hath poured out this, which ye now see and hear. (34)For David is not ascended into the heavens: for he saith himself, "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit on my right hand, (35)until I make thine enemies a footstool for thy feet[27]." (36)Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him Lord and Messiah, even that very Jesus whom ye crucified. (37)Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? (38)Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptised every one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (39)For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off; even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (40)And with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this untoward generation.
