Acts 2:37–47

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.

⁴²And they persevered in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles, in breaking of bread and prayers. ⁴³And fear was upon every soul, and many wonders and signs took place through the apostles’ means. ⁴⁴And all that believed were together, and had all things common, ⁴⁵and sold their possessions and substance, and distributed them to all, according as any one might have need. ⁴⁶And every day, being constantly in the temple with one accord, and breaking bread in the house, they received their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, ⁴⁷praising God, and having favour with all the people; and the Lord added to the assembly daily those that were to be saved.
