Peter Declares To The Crowd That This Event Is God Pouring Out His Promised Spirit

¹⁴ And Peter, having stood with the eleven, raised his voice and declared^[a] to them, “Men, Jews, and all the ones dwelling-in Jerusalem: let this be known to you, and pay-attention-to my words. ¹⁵ For these ones are not drunk, as you are assuming^[b]. For it is the third^[c] hour of the day. ¹⁶ But this is the thing having been spoken through the prophet Joel [in Joel 2:28-32]: ¹⁷ ‘And it shall be in the last days, God says, that I will pour-out from^[d] My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your older men will dream with dreams. ¹⁸ And^[e] indeed upon My male-slaves and upon My female-slaves I will pour-out from My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. ¹⁹ And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth below— blood, and fire and a vapor of smoke. ²⁰ The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious^[f] day of the Lord comes. ²¹ And it shall be that everyone who calls-upon the name of the Lord will be saved’.
