Acts 2:37–47

About Three Thousand Souls Saved

³⁷Now when they heard this, they were ¹pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men, brothers, ^awhat should we do?”

³⁸And Peter said to them, “^aRepent, and each of you be ^bbaptized in the name of Jesus Christ ¹for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹“For ^athe promise is for you and your children and for all who are ^bfar off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.”

⁴⁰And with many other words he solemnly ^abore witness and kept on exhorting them, saying, “¹Be saved from this ^bcrooked generation!”

⁴¹So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand ^asouls.

⁴²And they were ^acontinually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to ^bthe breaking of bread and ^cto the prayers.

⁴³And fear came upon every soul; and many ^awonders and ¹signs were taking place through the apostles.

⁴⁴And all those who had believed ¹were together and ^ahad all things in common;

⁴⁵and they ^abegan selling their property and possessions and were ^bdividing them up with all, as anyone might have need.

^46aAnd daily devoting themselves with one accord in the temple and ^bbreaking bread ¹from house to house, they were taking their ²meals together with gladness and ³sincerity of heart,

⁴⁷praising God and ^ahaving favor with all the people. And the Lord ^bwas adding ¹to their number daily ^cthose who were being saved.
