Acts 2:12-18

12And they were beside themselves with amazement and were greatly perplexed, saying one to another, “What could this mean?”

13But others were laughing and joking and ridiculing them, saying, “They are full of sweet wine and are drunk!”

14But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be explained to you; listen closely and pay attention to what I have to say.

15These people are not drunk, as you assume, since it is [only] the third hour of the day (9:00 a.m.);

16but this is [the beginning of] what was spoken of through the prophet Joel:

17‘And it shall be in the last days,’ says God, ‘That I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see [divinely prompted] visions, And your old men shall dream [divinely prompted] dreams;

18Even on My bond-servants, both men and women, I will in those days pour out My Spirit And they shall prophesy.
