Acts 2:14-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Peter Addresses the Crowd
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Fellow Jews[a] and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. 15 Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning.(A) 16 No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 ‘In the last days it will be, God declares,
that I will pour out 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.(B)
18 Even upon my slaves, both men and women,
in those days I will pour out my Spirit,
and they shall prophesy.(C)
19 And I will show portents in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and smoky mist.
20 The sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.(D)
21 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’(E)

Peter Addresses the Crowd
14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning!(A) 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 “‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.(B)
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,(C)
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.(D)
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,(E)
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood(F)
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord(G) will be saved.’[a](H)
