Acts 2:19-20

Context

2:19 And I will perform wonders in the sky 1  above

and miraculous signs 2  on the earth below,

blood and fire and clouds of smoke.

2:20 The sun will be changed to darkness

and the moon to blood

before the great and glorious 3  day of the Lord comes.

1 tn Or “in the heaven.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven” depending on the context. Here, in contrast to “the earth below,” a reference to the sky is more likely.

2 tn Here the context indicates the miraculous nature of the signs mentioned; this is made explicit in the translation.

3 tn Or “and wonderful.”
