Acts 2:28–41

²⁸Thou hast made known to me the paths of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy countenance. ²⁹Brethren, let it be allowed to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he has both died and been buried, and his monument is amongst us unto this day. ³⁰Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, of the fruit of his loins to set upon his throne; ³¹he, seeing it before, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither has he been left in hades nor his flesh seen corruption. ³²This Jesus has God raised up, whereof all we are witnesses. ³³Having therefore been exalted by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which ye behold and hear. ³⁴For David has not ascended into the heavens, but he says himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand ³⁵until I have put thine enemies to be the footstool of thy feet. ³⁶Let the whole house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

³⁷And having heard it they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, What shall we do, brethren? ³⁸And Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptised, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God may call. ⁴⁰And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation. ⁴¹Those then who had accepted his word were baptised; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
