19. I will perform miracles in the sky aboveand wonders on the earth below.There will be blood, fire, and thick smoke;
20. the sun will be darkened,and the moon will turn red as blood,before the great and glorious Day of the Lord comes.
21. And then, whoever calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.’
22. “Listen to these words, fellow-Israelites! Jesus of Nazareth was a man whose divine authority was clearly proven to you by all the miracles and wonders which God performed through him. You yourselves know this, for it happened here among you.
23. In accordance with his own plan God had already decided that Jesus would be handed over to you; and you killed him by letting sinful men crucify him.
24. But God raised him from death, setting him free from its power, because it was impossible that death should hold him prisoner.
25. For David said about him:‘I saw the Lord before me at all times;he is near me, and I will not be troubled.
26. And so I am filled with gladness,and my words are full of joy.And I, mortal though I am,will rest assured in hope,
27. because you will not abandon me in the world of the dead;you will not allow your faithful servant to rot in the grave.
