Peter’s Sermon

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, asince it is only the third hour of the day.  
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘Anda it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
bThat I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and cyour daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams. 
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
aAnd they shall prophesy.

Acts 2:15

But the third hour of the day - That is, about nine o' clock in the morning, previously to which the Jews scarcely ever ate or drank, for that hour was the hour of prayer. This custom appears to have been so common that even the most intemperate among the Jews were not known to transgress it; Peter therefore spoke with confidence when he said, these are not drunken - seeing it is but the third hour of the day, previously to which even the intemperate did not use wine.
