Acts 2:14-42
Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them,“ Fellow Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and pay attention to my words.For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it’s only nine in the morning.On the contrary, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all people; then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.I will even pour out my Spirit on my servants in those days, both men and women and they will prophesy.I will display wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and a cloud of smoke.The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.“ Fellow Israelites, listen to these words: This Jesus of Nazareth was a man attested to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did among you through him, just as you yourselves know.Though he was delivered up according to God’s determined plan and foreknowledge, you used lawless people to nail him to a cross and kill him.God raised him up, ending the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by death.For David says of him: I saw the Lord ever before me; because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices. Moreover, my flesh will rest in hope,because you will not abandon me in Hades or allow your holy one to see decay.You have revealed the paths of life to me; you will fill me with gladness in your presence.“ Brothers and sisters, I can confidently speak to you about the patriarch David: He is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn an oath to him to seat one of his descendants on his throne.Seeing what was to come, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Messiah: He was not abandoned in Hades, and his flesh did not experience decay.“ God has raised this Jesus; we are all witnesses of this.Therefore, since he has been exalted to the right hand of God and has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, he has poured out what you both see and hear.For it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but he himself says: The Lord declared to my Lord,‘ Sit at my right handuntil I make your enemies your footstool.’“ Therefore let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles,“ Brothers, what should we do?”Peter replied,“ Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”With many other words he testified and strongly urged them, saying,“ Be saved from this corrupt generation!”So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added to them.They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.

Acts 10:34-43
Peter began to speak:“ Now I truly understand that God doesn’t show favoritism,but in every nation the person who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.He sent the message to the Israelites, proclaiming the good news of peace through Jesus Christ— he is Lord of all.You know the events that took place throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John preached:how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about doing good and healing all who were under the tyranny of the devil, because God was with him.We ourselves are witnesses of everything he did in both the Judean country and in Jerusalem, and yet they killed him by hanging him on a tree.God raised up this man on the third day and caused him to be seen,not by all the people, but by us whom God appointed as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be the judge of the living and the dead.All the prophets testify about him that through his name everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins.”

Revelation 20:1-3
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven holding the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand.He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.He threw him into the abyss, closed it, and put a seal on it so that he would no longer deceive the nations until the thousand years were completed. After that, he must be released for a short time.
