Acts 2:37–47

³⁷Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?

³⁸But Peter said to them: Do penance: and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

³⁹For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.

⁴⁰And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

⁴¹They therefore that received his word were baptized: and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

⁴²And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles and in the communication of the breaking of bread and in prayers.

⁴³And fear came upon every soul. Many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem: and there was great fervor in all.

⁴⁴And all they that believed were together and had all things common.

⁴⁵Their possessions and goods they sold and divided them to all, according as every one had need.

⁴⁶And continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart:

⁴⁷Praising God and having favour with all the people. And the Lord increased daily together such as should be saved.
