The Lord Will Pour Out His Spirit
28 [a] (A)“And it shall come to pass afterward,

The Coming of the Holy Spirit
2 When (A)the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like (B)a mighty rushing wind, and (C)it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues (D)as of fire appeared to them and rested[a] on each one of them. 4 And they were all (E)filled with the Holy Spirit and began (F)to speak in other tongues (G)as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6 And (H)at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 7 And (I)they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking (J)Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? 9 Parthians and (K)Medes and (L)Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11 both Jews and (M)proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” 12 And (N)all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But others (O)mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”
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, (P)since it is only the third hour of the day.[b] 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:
17 (Q)“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
(R)that I will pour out my Spirit (S)on all flesh,
and your sons and (T)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 (U)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 (V)the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before (W)the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that (X)everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
John 16:7-16
English Standard Version
7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for (A)if I do not go away, (B)the Helper will not come to you. But (C)if (D)I go, (E)I will send him to you. 8 (F)And when he comes, he will (G)convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, (H)because they do not believe in me; 10 (I)concerning righteousness, (J)because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 (K)concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world (L)is judged.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When (M)the Spirit of truth comes, (N)he will (O)guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but (P)whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will (Q)glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 (R)All that the Father has is mine; (S)therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy
