That’s when Peter stood up and, backed by the other eleven, spoke out with bold urgency: “Fellow Jews, all of you who are visiting Jerusalem, listen carefully and get this story straight. These people aren’t drunk as some of you suspect. They haven’t had time to get drunk—it’s only nine o’clock in the morning. This is what the prophet Joel announced would happen:“In the Last Days,” God says,“I will pour out my Spiriton every kind of people:Your sons will prophesy,also your daughters;Your young men will see visions,your old men dream dreams.When the time comes,I’ll pour out my SpiritOn those who serve me, men and women both,and they’ll prophesy.I’ll set wonders in the sky aboveand signs on the earth below,Blood and fire and billowing smoke,the sun turning black and the moon blood-red,Before the Day of the Lord arrives,the Day tremendous and marvelous;And whoever calls out for helpto me, God, will be saved.”
