2:16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

2:17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

2:18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

2:19And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

2:20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

2:22Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

2:23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

2:24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

2:25For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

2:26Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

2:27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

2:33Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

2:34For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

2:35Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

2:36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
