Acts 2:14-36

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁴ But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them, “You men of Judea! All you who inhabit Jerusalem! Be it known to you and hear my words!

¹⁵ “For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.

¹⁶ “But this is that which was spoken by the Prophet Joel,

¹⁷ ‘And it shall be in the last days, says God, “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.

¹⁸ “And on My servants, and on My handmaids, I will pour out 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 vapors of smoke.

²⁰ “The Sun shall be turned to darkness, and the Moon to blood, before that great and notable Day of the Lord comes.

²¹ “And it shall be, that whoever shall call on the Name of the Lord, shall be saved.”’

²² “You men of Israel! Hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a proven man of God among you, through great works and wonders and signs which God did through him in the midst of you (as you yourselves also know),

²³ “whom, after you had taken, crucified and killed with wicked hands (being delivered by the determinate decree and foreknowledge of God),

²⁴ “and Whom God has raised up, having released the sorrows of death because it was impossible for Him to be held by it,

²⁵ “(for David says concerning Him, ‘I beheld the Lord always before me. For He is at my right hand, so that I should not be shaken.

²⁶ ‘Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad, and moreover my flesh shall also rest in hope.

²⁷ ‘Because You will not leave my soul in the grave. Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

²⁸ ‘You have shown me the ways of life and shall make me full of joy with Your countenance.’

²⁹ “Men, brothers, I may boldly say to you of the patriarch David that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher remains with us to this day.

³⁰ “Therefore, seeing he was a Prophet, and knew that God had sworn an oath to him that He would raise up Christ in the flesh from the fruit of his loins, to set Him upon his throne,

³¹ “he, knowing this beforehand, spoke of the resurrection of Christ - that His soul should not be left in the grave, nor should His flesh see corruption.

³² “God has raised up this Jesus. Of which we are all witnesses.

³³ “Therefore, since He has been exalted by the right hand of God and has received the promise of the Holy Ghost from His Father, He has poured out that which you now see and hear.

³⁴ “For David has not ascended into the heaven, but he says, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand,

³⁵ “Until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”’

³⁶ “Therefore, let all the House of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ - this Jesus Whom you have crucified!”
