Acts 2:16-21

16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:
17 1"'And in the last days it shall be, God declares, 2that I will pour out my Spirit 3on all flesh, and your sons and 4your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants[a] and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and 5they 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 6the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before 7the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that 8everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
