1On the day of Pentecost all the Lord's followers were together in one place.
I will give my Spirit
to everyone.
Your sons and daughters
will prophesy.
Your young men
will see visions,
and your old men
will have dreams.
18In those days I will give
my Spirit to my servants,
both men and women,
and they will prophesy.
19I will perform miracles
in the sky above
and wonders
on the earth below.
There will be blood and fire
and clouds of smoke.
20The sun will turn dark,
and the moon
will be as red as blood
before the great
and wonderful day
of the Lord appears.
21Then the Lord
will save everyone
who asks for his help.”
22Now, listen to what I have to say about Jesus from Nazareth. God proved that he sent Jesus to you by having him perform miracles, wonders, and signs. All of you know this.
23God had already planned and decided that Jesus would be handed over to you. So you took him and had evil men put him to death on a cross.
“I always see the Lord
near me,
and I will not be afraid
with him at my right side.
26Because of this,
my heart will be glad,
my words will be joyful,
and I will live in hope.
27The Lord won't leave me
in the grave.
I am his holy one,
and he won't let
my body decay.
28He has shown me
the path to life,
and he makes me glad
by being near me.”
29My friends, it is right for me to speak to you about our ancestor David. He died and was buried, and his tomb is still here.
30But David was a prophet, and he knew that God had made a promise he would not break. He had told David that someone from his own family would some day be king.
31David knew this would happen, and so he told us that Christ would be raised to life. He said that God would not leave him in the grave or let his body decay.
32All of us can tell you that God has raised Jesus to life!
33Jesus was taken up to sit at the right side of God, and he was given the Holy Spirit, just as the Father had promised. Jesus is also the one who has given the Spirit to us, and that is what you are now seeing and hearing.
34David didn't go up to heaven. So he wasn't talking about himself when he said, “The Lord told my Lord to sit at his right side, and prayed together.
Life among the Lord's followers43Everyone was amazed by the many miracles and wonders that the apostles performed.
44All the Lord's followers often met together, and they shared everything they had. together in different homes and shared their food happily and freely,
47while praising God. Everyone liked them, and each day the Lord added to their group others who were being saved.
