Therefore, one of the men who have been with us continuously throughout the time the Lord Yeshua traveled around among us,

from the time Yochanan was immersing people until the day Yeshua was taken up from us — one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection.”

Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen

‘Adonai says: “In the Last Days, I will pour out from my Spirit upon everyone. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Even on my slaves, both men and women, will I pour out from my Spirit in those days; and they will prophesy.

The sun will become dark and the moon blood before the great and fearful Day of Adonai comes.

And then, whoever calls on the name of Adonai will be saved.”’

“Men of Isra’el! Listen to this! Yeshua from Natzeret was a man demonstrated to you to have been from God by the powerful works, miracles and signs that God performed through him in your presence. You yourselves know this.

“But God has raised him up and freed him from the suffering of death; it was impossible that death could keep its hold on him.

God raised up this Yeshua! And we are all witnesses of it!

“Moreover, he has been exalted to the right hand of God; has received from the Father what he promised, namely, the Ruach HaKodesh; and has poured out this gift, which you are both seeing and hearing.

‘Adonai said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’

Therefore, let the whole house of Isra’el know beyond doubt that God has made him both Lord and Messiah — this Yeshua, whom you executed on a stake!”

For the promise is for you, for your children, and for those far away — as many as Adonai our God may call!”

Kefa said, “I don’t have silver, and I don’t have gold, but what I do have I give to you: in the name of the Messiah, Yeshua of Natzeret, walk!”
