Exegesis
The next clause, kai hoi neaniskoi humon horaseis opsontai {καὶ οἱ νεανίσκοι ὑμῶν ὁράσεις ὄψονται | kaí hoi ne-a-nís-koi hy-môn ho-rá-seis óp-son-tai} “and your young men will see visions,” places the object horaseis “visions” directly before the middle verb opsontai “they will see,” underscoring the experiential nature of their visionary encounters.
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.
