Your sons and your daughters
will prophesy. Your young men will see visions.
Your old men will dream dreams.
002:018 Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days,
I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
002:019 I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the
earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
002:020 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,
before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
002:021 It will be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord
will be saved.'{Joel 2:28-32}
002:022 "Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth,
a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders
and signs which God did by him in the midst of you,
even as you yourselves know,
002:023 him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and
foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men,
crucified and killed;
002:024 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death,
because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
002:025 For David says concerning him, 'I saw the Lord always before my face,
For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
002:026 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced.
Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;
002:027 because you will not leave my soul in Hades{or, Hell}, neither will
you allow your Holy One to see decay.
002:028 You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full
of gladness with your presence.'{Psalm 16:8-11}
002:029 "Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David,
that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us
to this day.
002:030 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn
with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body,
according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit
on his throne,
002:031 he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ,
that neither was his soul left in Hades{or, Hell}, nor did
his flesh see decay.
002:032 This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
002:033 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having
received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit,
he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.
002:034 For David didn't ascend into the heavens, but he says himself,
'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit by my right hand,
002:035 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."'{Psalm 110:1}
002:036 "Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has
made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."
002:037 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart,
and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers,
what shall we do?"
