Exegesis
The first result is propheteusousin hoi huioi humon kai hai thugateres humon {προφητεύσουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν | pro-phē-TEU-sou-sin hoi hu-ioí hy-môn kai hai thu-ga-TÉ-res hy-môn} “your sons and your daughters will prophesy,” where the subject groups are coordinated by kai and placed after the verb, allowing the focus to fall first on the charismatic activity “will prophesy.”
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.
