Acts 2:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 2:13

11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.”

12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”

13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”

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 ‘And^a 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.

19 ^aI will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

20 ^aThe sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
