    28. Then afterward I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.

    29. Even on the male and female slaves, in those days, I will pour out my spirit.

    30. I will show portents in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.

    31. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.

    32. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.

  •   

    1. When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

    2. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

    3. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them.

    4. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.

    5. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem.

    6. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each.

    7. Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

    8. And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?

    9. Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

    10. Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

    11. Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.”

    12. All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

    13. But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.” Peter Addresses the Crowd

    14. But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say.

    15. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning.

    16. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

    17. ‘In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

    18. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.

    19. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist.

    20. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.

    21. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

  •   

    16. Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh.

    17. For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want.

    18. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law.

    19. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness,

    20. idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions,

    21. envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. The Fruit of the Spirit

    22. By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,

    23. gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.

    24. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

    25. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.

    26. Let us not become conceited, competing against one another, envying one another.

  •   

    7. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

    8. And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:

    9. about sin, because they do not believe in me;

    10. about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer;

    11. about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.

    12. “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

    13. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
