18. In those days I will pour out my Spirit on my servants, men and women, and they will prophesy.
19. I will work wonders in the sky above. I will cause miraculous signs on the earth below. There will be blood, fire, and thick smoke.
20. The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon will be as red as blood. Then the great and glorious day of the Lord will come.
21. And everyone who trusts in the Lord will be saved.’ Joel 2:28-32
22. “My fellow Israelites, listen to these words: Jesus from Nazareth was a very special man. God clearly showed this to you. He proved it by the miracles, wonders, and miraculous signs he did through Jesus. You all saw these things, so you know this is true.
23. Jesus was handed over to you, and you killed him. With the help of evil men, you nailed him to a cross. But God knew all this would happen. It was his plan—a plan he made long ago.
24. Jesus suffered the pain of death, but God made him free. He raised him from death. There was no way for death to hold him.
25. David said this about him: ‘I saw the Lord before me always; he is at my right side to keep me safe.
26. So my heart is happy, and the words I speak are words of joy. Yes, even my body will live with hope,
27. because you will not leave me in the place of death. You will not let the body of your Holy One rot in the grave.
28. You taught me how to live. You will come close to me and give me great joy.’ Psalm 16:8-11
