It’s only nine in the morning!' 16 'No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel.' 17 ‘In the last days,’ says God, ‘I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. 22 Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did through Him among you, as you yourselves know— 23 He was delivered up by God’s determined plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross. 24 But God raised Him from the dead, freeing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on Him. 25 David said about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me, because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.’ 26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover, my body also will rest in hope, 27 because You will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. 28 You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence. 29 “Fellow Israelites, I can confidently say to you that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30 Being therefore a prophet and knowing that God had sworn an oath to him that He would set one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, and we are all witnesses of it. 33 Exalted to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend to heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at My right hand, 35 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.’ 36 Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37 When they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'Brothers, what shall we do?' 38 Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.' 40 With many other words he warned them, and he kept urging them, 'Be saved from this corrupt generation.' 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
  • Acts 3:12-26 : 12 When Peter saw this, he addressed the people: "Fellow Israelites, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied before Pilate, though he had decided to release Him. 14 You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you. 15 You killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. We are witnesses of this. 16 By faith in His name, this man—whom you see and know—has been made strong. The faith that comes through Jesus has given him this complete healing in the presence of you all. 17 And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your leaders also did. 18 But God fulfilled what He had foretold through the mouths of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer. 19 Repent, therefore, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away. 20 So that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus, who has been appointed for you as the Christ. 21 Heaven must receive Him until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God spoke about through the holy prophets from ages past. 22 Moses said: 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you. 23 And it will be that every person who does not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.' 24 Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days. 25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers when He said to Abraham: 'Through your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.' 26 When God raised up His servant, Jesus, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.

This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, seeking to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the magician (for that is how his name is translated) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9 But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, stared intently at him. 10 And he said, 'You are full of all deceit and all fraud, son of the devil, enemy of all righteousness! Will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?' 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.

Paul looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed. 10 Paul said loudly, 'Stand upright on your feet!' And the man jumped up and began to walk. 11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices in the Lycaonian language, saying, 'The gods have come down to us in human form!'
