ButPeter, standing upwith the eleven, lifted uphisvoice,andsaid unto them, Ye men of Judaea,andall ye that dwell at Jerusalem,bethisknown unto you,andhearken to mywords:
15
Forthesearenotdrunken, asyesuppose, seeing it is but the thirdhour of the day.
16
Butthisis that which was spokenby the prophetJoel;
17

18
And*onmyservantsandonmyhandmaidens I will pour outinthosedaysofmySpirit;and they shall prophesy:
19
And I will shewwondersinheavenabove,andsignsin the earthbeneath;blood,andfire,andvapour of smoke:
20

21

WhomGod hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death:because it wasnotpossible that he should be holdenofit.
25
ForDavidspeakethconcerninghim, I foresaw the Lordalways*beforemy face, for he isonmy right hand,that I shouldnot be moved:

29
Men and brethren,letme[a]freely*speakuntoyouof the patriarchDavid,that he isbothdeadandburied, andhissepulchreiswithusuntothisday.

Thereforebeing a prophet,andknowingthatGod had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of hisloins, according to the flesh, he would raise upChrist to sitonhisthrone;
31
He seeing this beforespakeof the resurrection of Christ,thathissoulwasnotleftinhell,neitherhisflesh did seecorruption.
33
Thereforebeing by the right hand of Godexalted, and having receivedof the Father the promise of the HolyGhost, he hath shed forththis,whichyenowseeandhear.

ForDavid is notascendedinto the heavens:but he saithhimself, The LORDsaid unto myLord, Sit thouonmy right hand,
