Acts 2:14-36

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

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’.

Listen Everyone: You Killed Jesus The Nazarene, But God Raised Him From The Dead

²² “Men, Israelites, listen-to these words: As to Jesus the Nazarene, a man having been attested by God to you with^[g] miracles and wonders and signs which God did through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— ²³ this One, given-over^[h] by the determined^[i] purpose^[j] and foreknowledge of God, you killed, having fastened^[k] Him to a cross by the hand of Lawless ones, ²⁴ Whom God raised-up, having put-an-end-to^[l] the pains^[m] of death, because it was not possible that He be held-on-to by it.

David Predicted This. And Jesus Poured Out What You Both See And Hear

²⁵ “For David says with reference to Him [in Ps 16:8-11], ‘I was seeing the Lord in my presence continually, because He is on my right side so that I may not be shaken. ²⁶ For this reason my heart was cheered and my tongue rejoiced-greatly. And furthermore, my flesh will also dwell in hope, ²⁷ because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor give^[n] Your holy One to see^[o] decay. ²⁸ You made the ways of life known to me. You will make me full of gladness with Your presence’. ²⁹ Men, brothers, it is proper to say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both came-to-an-end^[p] and was buried. And his tomb is with us to this day. ³⁰ Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God swore to him with an oath to seat One from the fruit of his loins upon his throne, ³¹ having foreseen it, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ— that He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh see decay. ³² God raised up this Jesus, of which we are all witnesses. ³³ Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He poured-out this which you are both seeing and hearing. ³⁴ For David did not go up into the heavens, but he himself says [in Ps 110:1], ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Be sitting on My right side ³⁵ until I put Your enemies as a footstool of Your feet”’.

Therefore, Let All Israel Know That God Made Jesus Both Lord And Messiah

³⁶ “Therefore let all the house of Israel know with-certainty that God made Him both Lord and Christ— this Jesus Whom you crucified”.
