Then Peter stepped forward with the eleven other apostles and shouted to the crowd, “Listen carefully, all of you, fellow Jews and residents of Jerusalem! Make no mistake about this. These people are not drunk, as some of you are assuming. Nine o’clock in the morning is much too early for that No, what you was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel:
“In the last days, ‘ God says ‘I will pour our My Spirit upon all the people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on My servants – men and women alike – and they will prophesy. And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below – blood and fire and clouds of smoke. The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives. But everyone who calls on the Lord will be saved.'” (vv. 14-21, NLT)
