15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, (A)since it is only the third hour of the day.[a] 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

17 (B)“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
(C)that I will pour out my Spirit (D)on all flesh,
and your sons and (E)your daughters shall prophesy,
    and your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants and female servants
    in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and (F)they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20 (G)the sun shall be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood,
    before (H)the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that (I)everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
