Luke
Acts 2:20ASV·traditional attribution

The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable day:

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

Peter stood up with the eleven to silence the mockers and show he was no drunkard. His sermon alone is recorded, but all the hundred and twenty likely preached too; three thousand were converted that day. Mark this: he who once denied Christ in fear now confesses Him with a courage that proves his full recovery and restoration to God's favor.

Albert Barnes Presbyterian

The sun darkened and moon reddened are images of calamity and war, not literal cosmic events. Smoke from burning cities obscures the sun; the moon takes on that lurid, blood-like hue when earthquakes and fires fill the air. These prodigies accompanied Jerusalem's destruction and mark the beginning of Messiah's wonders.
