Acts 2:14-36 - Peter's Sermon On The Day Of Pentecost

14 Then Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea and all ye that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known unto you and hearken to my words; 15 for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 And 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; 18 and for certain on my slaves and on my handmaids I will pour out in those days of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy; 19 and I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke; 20 the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood before that great and notable day of the Lord shall come; 21 and it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

22 Ye 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, 23 him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain, 24 whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be held by it. 25 For David speaks concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved, 26 therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover even my flesh shall rest in hope 27 because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne; 31 he, seeing this before, spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades, neither did his flesh see corruption.

32 This Jesus God has raised up, of whom we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore being raised up by the right hand of God and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which ye now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand 35 until I make thy foes thy footstool.

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