New Testament

Acts 2:16-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16. but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel:

17. 'And it shall be in the last days,' God says, 'That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams;

18. Even on My bondslaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit And they shall prophesy.

19. 'And I will grant wonders in the sky above And signs on the earth below, Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.

20. 'The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood, Before the great and glorious day of the Lord shall come.

21. 'And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'

22. "Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know-

23. this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.

24. But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.

25. For David says of Him, 'I saw the Lord always in my presence; For He is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken.

26. 'Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue exulted; Moreover my flesh also will live in hope;

27. Because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, Nor allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.
