Acts

Acts 2:16–21

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.

¹⁹I will show wonders in the heavens above

and signs on the earth below,

blood and fire and billows of smoke.

²⁰The sun will be turned to darkness,

and the moon to blood,

before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

²¹And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord

will be saved.’^e
