³²So Jesus is the One whom God raised from the dead. And we are all witnesses to this. ³³Jesus was lifted up to heaven and is now at God’s right side. The Father has given the Holy Spirit to Jesus as he promised. So Jesus has poured out that Spirit, and this is what you now see and hear. ³⁴David was not the one who was lifted up to heaven, but he said:

‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit by me at my right side,

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

³⁶“So, all the people of Israel should know this truly: God has made Jesus—the man you nailed to the cross—both Lord and Christ.”

³⁷When the people heard this, they felt guilty and asked Peter and the other apostles, “What shall we do?”

³⁸Peter said to them, “Change your hearts and lives and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹This promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away. It is for everyone the Lord our God calls to himself.”

⁴⁰Peter warned them with many other words. He begged them, “Save yourselves from the evil of today’s people!” ⁴¹Then those people who accepted what Peter said were baptized. About three thousand people were added to the number of believers that day.
