Acts 2:18-28

18 even on my male servants^[a] and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and ¹they 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 ²the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before ³the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.

21 And it shall come to pass that ⁴everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'

22 "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, ⁵a man attested to you by God ⁶with ⁷mighty works and wonders and signs that ⁸God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know--

23 this Jesus, ⁹delivered up according to ¹⁰the definite plan and ¹¹foreknowledge of God, ¹²you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.

24 ¹³God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because ¹⁴it was not possible for him to be held by it.

25 For David says concerning him, ¹⁵"'I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;

26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; my flesh also will dwell ¹⁶in hope.

27 For you will not abandon my soul to ¹⁷Hades, ¹⁸or let your ¹⁹Holy One ²⁰see corruption.

28 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.'
