Acts 2:17-27

17 'And it will be in the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
18 And even on my male slaves and on my female slaves I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
19 And I will cause wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun will be changed to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And it will be [that] everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.'
22 "Israelite men, listen to these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, just as [you] yourselves know--
23 this man, delivered up by the determined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed [by] nailing to [a cross] through the hand of lawless men.
24 God raised {him} up, having brought to an end the pains of death, because it was not possible [for] him to be held by it.
25 For David says with reference to him, 'I saw the Lord before me {continually}, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.
26 For this [reason] my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced greatly, furthermore also my flesh will live in hope,
27 because you will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will you permit your Holy One to experience decay.
