‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.
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.

PETER FOR THE FIRST TIME, PUBLICLY PREACHES CHRIST. (Acts 2:14-36) Peter, standing up with the eleven--in advance, perhaps, of the rest.
Commenting on Acts 2:14-36
Pour out my Spirit in sharp contrast with the mere drops of all preceding time. The Spirit is poured on all flesh, hitherto confined to Abraham's seed, without distinction of sex, age, or rank. Visions and dreams suit the old economy; in the New Testament they are the exception, not the rule.
