Acts 2:14-36 - Peter's Sermon On The Day Of Pentecost
14 Peter however, together with the Eleven, stood up and addressed them in a loud voice. "Men of Judaea, and all you inhabitants of Jerusalem," he said, "be in no uncertainty about this matter but pay attention to what I say. 15 For this is not intoxication, as you suppose, it being only the third hour of the day. 16 But that which was predicted through the Prophet Joel has happened:
17 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, God says, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall have dreams; 18 and even upon My bondservants, both men and women, at that time, I will pour out My Spirit, and they shall prophesy. 19 I will display marvels in the sky above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire, and pillars of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, to usher in the day of the Lord-- that great and illustrious day; 21 and every one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
22 "Listen, Israelites, to what I say. Jesus, the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles and marvels and signs which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know, Him-- 23 delivered up through God's settled purpose and foreknowledge--you by the hands of Gentiles have nailed to a cross and have put to death. 24 But God has raised Him to life, having terminated the throes of death, for in fact it was not possible for Him to be held fast by death. 25 For David says in reference to Him, "'I constantly fixed my eyes upon the Lord, because He is at my right hand in order that I may continue unshaken. 26 For this reason my heart is glad and my tongue exults. My body also shall rest in hope. 27 For Thou wilt not leave me in the Unseen World forsaken, nor give up Thy holy One to undergo decay. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of Life: Thou wilt fill me with gladness in Thy presence.'
29 "As to the patriarch David, I need hardly remind you, brethren, that he died and was buried, and that we still have his tomb among us. 30 Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon his throne, 31 with prophetic foresight he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, to the effect that He was not left forsaken in the Unseen World, nor did His body undergo decay.
32 This Jesus, God has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify. 33 "Being therefore lifted high by the mighty hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out this which you see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend into Heaven, but he says himself, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand 35 until I make thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
36 "Therefore let the whole House of Israel know beyond all doubt that God has made Him both LORD and CHRIST--this Jesus whom you crucified."
