'And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Rukha on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

And even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Rukha in those days, and they will prophesy.

"Men of Israyel, hear these words. Yeshua the Natsraya, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,

For Dawid says concerning him, 'I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken.

For Dawid did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit by my right hand,

Now when they heard this, they were acutely distressed, and said to Kipha and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"

Kipha said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Yeshua Meshikha for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Rukha d'Qudsha.
