The Promise of the Spirit

28 [a](A)It will come about after this
That I will (B)pour out My Spirit on all [b](C)mankind;
And your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will have dreams,
Your young men will see visions.
29 And even on the (D)male and female servants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

The Day of the Lord

30 I will [c](E)display wonders in the sky and on the earth,
Blood, fire, and columns of smoke.
31 The (F)sun will be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the (G)great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
32 And it will come about that (H)everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
Will [d]be saved;
For (I)on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who (J)escape,
Just as the Lord has said,
Even among the (K)survivors whom the Lord calls.

God’s Spirit Poured Out

28 [a]Then afterward
    I will pour out my spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
    your old men shall dream dreams,
    and your young men shall see visions.(A)
29 Even on the male and female slaves,
    in those days I will pour out my spirit.(B)

30 I will show portents in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.(C) 31 The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.(D) 32 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved, for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.(E)
