Peter's Sermon at Pentecost
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 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.

Matthew 11:9-19
English Standard Version
9 What then did you go out to see? (A)A prophet?[a] Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is he of whom it is written,
(B)“‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.’
11 Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 (C)From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence,[b] and the violent take it by force. 13 (D)For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is (E)Elijah who is to come. 15 (F)He who has ears to hear,[c] let him hear.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,
17 “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came (G)neither eating (H)nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came (I)eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, (J)a friend of (K)tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”[d]
