Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi pasan sarka {ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα | e-pì pâ-san sár-ka} “upon all flesh” uses epi with the accusative to denote direction or extension of this action, and the idiom “all flesh” signals universality across humanity rather than a restricted group.
In context — Acts 2:17
And it will be in the last days, says God , I will pour out from My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy , and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
