Acts 2:14-36 - Peter's Sermon On The Day Of Pentecost
14 And Peter, having stood with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Men Jews, and all ye dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and hear ye my words: 15 For not, as ye suppose, are these intoxicated, (for it is the third hour of the day.) 16 But this is that spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall be in the last days, says God, I pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elder dream dreams: 18 And also upon my servants and upon my maids in those days will I pour out from my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will give wonders in heaven above, and signs upon the earth below; blood, and fire, and steam of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and distinguished day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall be, every one, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
22 Men, Israelites, bear these words; Jesus the Nazarite, a man elected by God for you by powers and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, (as also ye yourselves know:) 23 This one, surrendered by the fixed counsel and foreknowledge of God, having taken by lawless hands, having fastened, ye slew: 24 Whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death: as it was not possible for him to be holden of it. 25 For David says about him, I saw beforehand the Lord before me always, for he is of my right hand, that I be not moved: 26 For this my heart was gladdened, and my tongue was transported with joy; and yet also shall my flesh encamp in hope: 27 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hades neither wilt thou give thy sanctified one to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou wilt fill me with gladness with thy face.
29 Men, brethren, it is permitted to speak with freedom of speech to you of the patriarch David, for he died and was buried, and his tomb is with us even till this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God swore with an oath to him, of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up Christ to sit upon his throne: 31 Foreknowing, he spake of the rising up of Christ, that his soul was not left in hades, neither did his flesh see corruption.
32 This Jesus God raised up, of which all we are witnesses. 33 Therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out this, which ye now see and hear. 34 For David ascended not into the heavens: and he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand, 35 Even till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know certainly, that God made him Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.
