KJVButG235 thisG5124 isG2076(G5748) that which was spokenG2046(G5772) byG1223 the prophetG4396 JoelG2493;
17 ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.
KJVAndG2532 it shall come to passG2071(G5704) inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250, saithG3004(G5719) GodG2316, I will pour outG1632(G5692) ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151 uponG1909 allG3956 fleshG4561: andG2532 yourG5216 sonsG5207 andG2532 yourG5216 daughtersG2364 shall prophesyG4395(G5692), andG2532 yourG5216 young menG3495 shall seeG3700(G5695) visionsG3706, andG2532 yourG5216 old menG4245 shall dreamG1798 dreamsG1797(G5701):
18 Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
KJVAndG2532G1065 onG1909 myG3450 servantsG1401 andG2532 onG1909 myG3450 handmaidensG1399 I will pour outG1632(G5692) inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151; andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395(G5692):
19 I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
KJVAndG2532 I will shewG1325(G5692) wondersG5059 inG1722 heavenG3772 aboveG507, andG2532 signsG4592 inG1909 the earthG1093 beneathG2736; bloodG129, andG2532 fireG4442, andG2532 vapourG822 of smokeG2586:

22 “Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, even as you yourselves know,
KJVYe menG435 of IsraelG2475, hearG191(G5657) theseG5128 wordsG3056; JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480, a manG435 approvedG584(G5772) ofG575 GodG2316 amongG1519 youG5209 by miraclesG1411 andG2532 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592, whichG3739 GodG2316 didG4160(G5656) byG1223 himG846 inG1722 the midstG3319 of youG5216, asG2531 ye yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 knowG1492(G5758):
23 him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
KJVHimG5126, being deliveredG1560 by the determinateG3724(G5772) counselG1012 andG2532 foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316, ye have takenG2983(G5631), and byG1223 wickedG459 handsG5495 have crucifiedG4362(G5660) and slainG337(G5627):
24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
KJVWhomG3739 GodG2316 hath raised upG450(G5656), having loosedG3089(G5660) the painsG5604 of deathG2288: becauseG2530 it wasG2258(G5713) notG3756 possibleG1415 that heG846 should be holdenG2902(G5745) ofG5259 itG846.
25 For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
KJVForG1063 DavidG1138 speakethG3004(G5719) concerningG1519 himG846, I foresawG4308(G5710) the LordG2962 alwaysG1223G3956 beforeG1799 myG3450 face, forG3754 he isG2076(G5748) onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, thatG3363 I shouldG4531 notG3363 be movedG4531(G5686):
26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
KJVThereforeG1223G5124 didG2165 myG3450 heartG2588 rejoiceG2165(G5681), andG2532 myG3450 tongueG1100 was gladG21(G5662); moreoverG1161G2089 alsoG2532 myG3450 fleshG4561 shall restG2681(G5692) inG1909 hopeG1680:
27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.
KJVBecauseG3754 thou wiltG1459 notG3756 leaveG1459(G5692) myG3450 soulG5590 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 wilt thou sufferG1325(G5692) thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492(G5629) corruptionG1312.
28 You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
KJVThou hast made knownG1107(G5656) to meG3427 the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; thou shalt makeG4137 meG3165 fullG4137(G5692) of joyG2167 withG3326 thyG4675 countenanceG4383.
29 “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
KJVMenG435 and brethrenG80, letG2036 meG1832(G5752) freelyG3326G3954 speakG2036(G5629) untoG4314 youG5209 ofG4012 the patriarchG3966 DavidG1138, thatG3754 he isG5053 bothG2532 deadG5053(G5656) andG2532 buriedG2290(G5648), andG2532 hisG846 sepulchreG3418 isG2076(G5748) withG1722 usG2254 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250.
30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
KJVThereforeG3767 beingG5225(G5723) a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492(G5761) thatG3754 GodG2316 had swornG3660(G5656) with an oathG3727 to himG846, that ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450(G5693) ChristG5547 to sitG2523(G5658) onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362;
31 he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay.
KJVHe seeing this beforeG4275(G5631) spakeG2980(G5656) ofG4012 the resurrectionG386 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 hisG846 soulG5590 wasG2641 notG3756 leftG2641(G5681) inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 hisG846 fleshG4561 did seeG1492(G5627) corruptionG1312.
32 This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
KJVThisG5126 JesusG2424 hathG450 GodG2316 raised upG450(G5656), whereofG3739 weG2249 allG3956 areG2070(G5748) witnessesG3144.
33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear.
KJVThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG2316 exaltedG5312(G5685), andG5037 having receivedG2983(G5631) ofG3844 the FatherG3962 the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632(G5656) thisG5124, whichG3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 seeG991(G5719) andG2532 hearG191(G5719).
34 For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand
KJVForG1063 DavidG1138 is notG3756 ascendedG305(G5627) intoG1519 the heavensG3772: butG1161 he saithG3004(G5719) himselfG846, The LORDG2962 saidG2036(G5627) unto myG3450 LordG2962, Sit thouG2521(G5737) onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188,
35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
KJVUntilG2193 I makeG302G5087(G5632) thyG4675 foesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG4228G5286.
36 “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
KJVThereforeG3767 letG1097 allG3956 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097(G5720) assuredlyG806, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath madeG4160(G5656) that sameG5126 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 have crucifiedG4717(G5656), bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547.
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
KJVNowG1161 when they heardG191(G5660) this, they were prickedG2660(G5648) in their heartG2588, andG5037 saidG2036(G5627) untoG4314 PeterG4074 andG2532 to the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, MenG435 and brethrenG80, whatG5101 shall we doG4160(G5692)?
38 Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
KJVThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG5346(G5713) untoG4314 themG846, RepentG3340(G5657), andG2532 be baptizedG907(G5682) every oneG1538 of youG5216 inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 ye shall receiveG2983(G5695) the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”
KJVForG1063 the promiseG1860 isG2076(G5748) unto youG5213, andG2532 to yourG5216 childrenG5043, andG2532 to allG3956 that are afar offG1519G3112, even as many asG3745 the LordG2962 ourG2257 GodG2316 shall callG302G4341(G5667).
40 With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
KJVAndG5037 with manyG4119 otherG2087 wordsG3056 did he testifyG1263(G5711) andG2532 exhortG3870(G5707), sayingG3004(G5723), Save yourselvesG4982(G5682) fromG575 thisG5026 untowardG4646 generationG1074.
41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
KJVThenG3303G3767 they that gladlyG780 receivedG588(G5666) hisG846 wordG3056 were baptizedG907(G5681): andG2532 the sameG1565 dayG2250 there were addedG4369(G5681) unto them aboutG5616 three thousandG5153 soulsG5590.
42 They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
