The Acts 2:16-27 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

16. but this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel,

17. And it shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elders shall dream with dreams;

18. yea, even upon my bondmen and upon my bondwomen in those days will I pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

19. And I will give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

20. the sun shall be changed to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and gloriously appearing day of the Lord come.

21. And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

22. Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazaraean, a man borne witness to by God to you by works of power and wonders and signs, which God wrought by him in your midst, as yourselves know

23. --him, given up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, by the hand of lawless men, have crucified and slain.

24. Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death, inasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held by its power;

25. for David says as to him, I foresaw the Lord continually before me, because he is at my right hand that I may not be moved.

26. Therefore has my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted; yea more, my flesh also shall dwell in hope,

27. for thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor wilt thou give thy gracious one to see corruption.
