Acts 2:14-36 - Peter's Sermon On The Day Of Pentecost
14 Then Peter stood with the Eleven around him, and raising his voice he addressed them, "Men of Judea and all you residents of Jerusalem, let me explain this to you, and give close attention to my words. 15 These men are not drunk as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 'It will occur in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all mankind. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will have visions. Your old men will have dreams. 18 Even on my slaves, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will become prophets. 19 I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs upon the earth below, yes, blood and fire and smoky mist. 20 The sun will turn to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 Then everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.'
22 "Fellow Israelites, listen to what I say. Jesus of Nazareth, as you yourselves well know, a man accredited to you by God through mighty deeds and wonders and wonder-works which God performed through Him right here among you, 23 this very Jesus, I say, after He was betrayed, in accordance with the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you had wicked men kill by nailing Him to a cross; 24 but God raised Him up by loosing Him from the pangs of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held by the power of death. 25 For David says of Him: 'I always kept my eyes upon the Lord, for He is at my right hand, so that I may not be removed. 26 So my heart is glad and my tongue exults, and my body still lives in hope. 27 For you will not forsake my soul to Hades. Nor will you let your Holy One experience decay. 28 You have made known to me the ways of life, and you will fill me with delight in your presence.'
29 "Brothers, I may confidently say to you about the patriarch David, that he died and was buried, and that his grave is here among us to this very day. 30 So, as he was a prophet and knew that God with an oath had promised to put one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he foresaw the resurrection of the Christ and told of it, for He was not forsaken to Hades, and His body did not undergo decay.
32 I mean Jesus whom God raised from the dead, to which fact we are all witnesses, 33 So He has been exalted to God's right hand and has received from His Father, as promised, and poured out upon us the Holy Spirit, as you see and hear. 34 For David did not go up to heaven, but he himself says: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, 35 Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet."'
36 "Therefore, let all the descendants of Israel understand beyond a doubt that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ."
