Acts 2:32–41

³²“God brought this man Jesus back to life. We are all witnesses to that. ³³God used his power to give Jesus the honored position—the one next to him on the heavenly throne. Jesus has also received and has poured out the Holy Spirit as the Father had promised, and this is what you’re seeing and hearing. ³⁴David didn’t go up to heaven, but he said, 

‘The Lord said to my Lord, 

the honored position—the one next to me [God the Father] on the heavenly throne— 

³⁵until I put your enemies under your control.” ’ 

³⁶“All the people of Israel should know beyond a doubt that God made Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” 

³⁷When the people heard this, they were deeply upset. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” 

³⁸Peter answered them, “All of you must turn to God and change the way you think and act, and each of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins will be forgiven. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. ³⁹This promise belongs to you and to your children and to everyone who is far away. It belongs to everyone who worships the Lord our God.” 

⁴⁰Peter said much more to warn them. He urged, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” ⁴¹Those who accepted what Peter said were baptized. That day about 3,000 people were added ⸤to the group⸥.
