- Acts 2:17-32
- And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith
God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see
visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my
servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days
of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders
in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire,
and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and
the moon into blood, before that great and notable
day of the Lord come:
- And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall
call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Ye men of
Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved
of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God
did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him,
being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge
of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and
slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death:
because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
- For David speaketh concerning
Him, I foresaw
the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that
I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my
tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because
thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known
to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy
countenance. Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of
the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his
sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet,
and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the
fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up
Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the
resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither
his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up,
whereof we all are witnesses.
