11. (both Jews and those who had become Jews), Crete and Arabia. But we hear these men telling in our own languages about the great things God has done!”

12. They were all amazed and confused. They asked each other, “What does this mean?”

13. But others were making fun of them, saying, “They have had too much wine.”

14. But Peter stood up with the 11 apostles. In a loud voice he spoke to the crowd: “My fellow Jews, and all of you who are in Jerusalem, listen to me. Pay attention to what I have to say.

15. These men are not drunk, as you think; it is only nine o’clock in the morning!

16. But Joel the prophet wrote about what is happening here today:

17. ‘God says: In the last daysI will give my Spirit freely to all kinds of people.Your sons and daughters will prophesy.Your old men will dream dreams.Your young men will see visions.
