Acts 2:12-18

12They stood there amazed and perplexed. “What can this mean?” they asked each other.

13But others in the crowd ridiculed them, saying, “They’re just drunk, that’s all!”

14Then 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.

15These people are not drunk, as some of you are assuming. Nine o’clock in the morning is much too early for that.

16No, what you see was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel:

17‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

18In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike— and they will prophesy.
