Acts 2:37–47

³⁷Now when ^mthey heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, ⁿwhat shall we do?” ³⁸And Peter said to them, ^o“Repent and ^pbe baptized every one of you ^qin the name of Jesus Christ ^rfor the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive ^sthe gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹For ^tthe promise is for you and ^ufor your children and for all ^vwho are far off, everyone ^wwhom the Lord our God calls to himself.” ⁴⁰And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, ^x“Save yourselves from this ^ycrooked generation.” ⁴¹So those who received his word were baptized, and ^zthere were added that day about three thousand souls.

The Fellowship of the Believers

⁴²And ^athey devoted themselves to the apostles’ ^bteaching and the ^cfellowship, to ^dthe breaking of bread and the prayers. ⁴³And awe⁵ came upon every soul, and ^emany wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. ⁴⁴And all who believed were together and ^fhad all things in common. ⁴⁵And ^fthey were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. ⁴⁶And day by day, ^gattending the temple ^htogether and ⁱbreaking bread in their homes, they received their food ^jwith glad and generous hearts, ⁴⁷praising God and ^khaving favor with all the people. And the Lord ^ladded to their number ^mday by day those who ⁿwere being saved.
