Acts 2:14-41

14ThenG1161 PeterG4074 stood upG2476 withG4862 theG3588 ElevenG1733, lifted upG1869 hisG846 voiceG5456, andG2532 addressedG669 the crowd: “MenG435 of JudeaG2453 andG2532 allG3956 whoG3588 dwellG2730 in JerusalemG2419, let this beG3778 G1510 knownG1110 to youG4771, andG2532 listen carefully toG1801 myG1473 wordsG4487. 15 TheseG3778 men are not drunkG3756 G3184, asG5613 youG4771 supposeG5274 . It isG1510 only the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of theG3588 dayG2250!1 16NoG235, thisG3778 isG1510 whatG3588 was spokenG2046 byG1223 theG3588 prophetG4396 JoelG2493:

17 ‘InG1722 theG3588 lastG2078 daysG2250 , GodG2316 saysG3004,I will pour outG1632 MyG1473 SpiritG4151 onG1909 allG3956 peopleG4561 .YourG4771 sonsG5207 andG2532 daughtersG2364 will prophesyG4395 ,yourG4771 young menG3495 will seeG3708 visionsG3706 ,yourG4771 old menG4245 will dreamG1797 dreamsG1798.18 EvenG1065 onG1909 MyG1473 menservantsG1401 andG2532 maidservantsG1399I will pour outG1632 G575 MyG1473 SpiritG4151 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250,andG2532 they will prophesyG4395.19 I will showG1325 wondersG5059 inG1722 theG3588 heavensG3772 aboveG507andG2532 signsG4592 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093 belowG2736,bloodG129 andG2532 fireG4442 andG2532 billowsG822 of smokeG2586.20TheG3588 sunG2246 will be turnedG3344 toG1519 darknessG4655,andG2532 theG3588 moonG4582 toG1519 bloodG129,beforeG4250 theG3588 comingG2064 of the greatG3173 andG2532 gloriousG2016 DayG2250 of the LordG2962.21AndG2532 everyoneG3956 whoG3739 callsG1437 G1941 on theG3588 nameG3686 of the LordG2962will be savedG4982.’2

22MenG435 of IsraelG2475, listen toG191 thisG3778 messageG3056: JesusG2424 ofG3588 NazarethG3480 was a manG435 certifiedG584 byG575 GodG2316 toG1519 youG4771 by miraclesG1411 , wondersG5059, andG2532 signsG4592, whichG3739 GodG2316 didG4160 among youG1722 G4771 G3319 throughG1223 HimG846, asG2531 you yourselvesG846 knowG1492. 23HeG3778 was delivered upG1560 byG3588 God’sG3588 G2316 setG3724 planG1012 andG2532 foreknowledgeG4268, and you, byG1223 the handsG5495 of the lawlessG459, put Him to deathG337 by nailing Him to the crossG4362. 24But GodG2316 raised Him from the deadG3739 G450, releasingG3089 Him from theG3588 agonyG5604 ofG3588 deathG2288, becauseG2530 it wasG1510 impossibleG3756 G1415 for death to keepG2902 HimG846 inG5259 its gripG846.

DavidG1138 saysG3004 aboutG1519 HimG846:

‘I sawG4308 3 theG3588 LordG2962 alwaysG1223 G3956 beforeG1799 meG1473;becauseG3754 He isG1510 atG1537 myG1473 right handG1188, I will not be shakenG2443 G3361 G4531.26ThereforeG1223 G3778 myG1473 heartG2588 is gladG2165 andG2532 myG1473 tongueG1100 rejoicesG21 ;myG1473 bodyG4561 alsoG2532 will dwellG2681 inG1909 hopeG1680,27becauseG3754 You will not abandonG3756 G1459 myG1473 soulG5590 toG1519 HadesG86,norG3761 will You letG1325 YourG4771 Holy OneG3741 seeG3708 decayG1312.28You have made knownG1107 to meG1473 the pathsG3598 of lifeG2222;You will fillG4137 meG1473 with joyG2167 inG3326 YourG4771 presenceG4383.’4

29BrothersG435 G80, I canG1832 tellG2036 youG4314 G4771 with confidenceG3326 G3954 thatG3754 theG3588 patriarchG3966 DavidG1138 diedG5053 andG2532 was buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 tombG3418 isG1510 withG1722 usG1473 toG891 thisG3778 dayG2250. 30But he wasG5225 a prophetG4396 andG2532 knewG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had promisedG3660 himG846 on oathG3727 that He would placeG2523 one ofG1537 his descendants onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362.5 31Foreseeing thisG4308, David spokeG2980 aboutG4012 theG3588 resurrectionG386 of theG3588 ChristG5547, thatG3754 He was not abandonedG3777 G1459 toG1519 HadesG86, norG3777 did HisG846 bodyG4561 seeG3708 decayG1312. 32 GodG2316 has raisedG450 thisG3778 Jesus to lifeG2424, to whichG3739 weG1473 areG1510 allG3956 witnessesG3144.

33ExaltedG5312, thenG3767, to theG3588 right handG1188 of GodG2316 , He has receivedG2983 fromG3844 theG3588 FatherG3962 theG3588 promisedG1860 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and has poured outG1632 whatG3739 youG4771 nowG2532 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191. 34ForG1063 DavidG1138 did notG3756 ascendG305 intoG1519 heavenG3772, butG1161 he himselfG846 saysG3004:

‘TheG3588 LordG2962 saidG2036 toG3588 myG1473 LordG2962,“SitG2521 atG1537 MyG1473 right handG118835untilG2193 G302 I makeG5087 YourG4771 enemiesG2190a footstoolG5286 forG3588 YourG4771 feetG4228.”’6

36ThereforeG3767 let allG3956 IsraelG3624 G2474 knowG1097 with certaintyG806 thatG3754 GodG2316 has madeG4160 thisG3778 JesusG2424, whomG3739 youG4771 crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547!”

37When the people heardG191 this, they were cutG2660 to theG3588 heartG2588 andG5037 askedG2036 G4314 PeterG4074 andG2532 theG3588 otherG3062 apostlesG652, “BrothersG435 G80, whatG5101 shall we doG4160?”

PeterG4074 repliedG5346 , “RepentG3340 andG2532 be baptizedG907, every oneG1538 of youG4771, inG1909 theG3588 nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for theG1519 forgivenessG859 of yourG4771 sinsG266, andG2532 you will receiveG2983 theG3588 giftG1431 of theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 39 This promiseG1860 belongsG1510 to youG4771 andG2532 yourG4771 childrenG5043 andG2532 to allG3956 whoG3588 G1519 are far offG3112—to all whomG3745 G302 the LordG2962 ourG1473 GodG2316 will call to HimselfG4341.”

40WithG5037 manyG4119 otherG2087 wordsG3056 he testifiedG1263, andG2532 he urgedG3870 themG846 , “Be savedG4982 fromG575 thisG3778 corruptG4646 generationG1074.” 41 Those whoG3588 embracedG588 hisG846 messageG3056 were baptizedG907, andG2532 aboutG5616 three thousandG5153 G5590 were addedG4369 to the believers thatG1565 dayG2250.7
