Acts

Acts 2:16–18

¹⁶No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

¹⁷‘In the last days, God says,

I will pour out My Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

your young men will see visions,

your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days,

and they will prophesy.
