Acts 2:32–41

^32aThis Jesus God has raised up, ^bof which we are all witnesses. ³³Therefore ^cbeing exalted ¹to ^dthe right hand of God, and ^ehaving received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He ^fpoured out this which you now see and hear.

³⁴“For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:

^g‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at My right hand,

³⁵Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

³⁶“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

³⁷Now when they heard this, ^hthey were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”

³⁸Then Peter said to them, ⁱ“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the ²remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹For the promise is to you and ^jto your children, and ^kto all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

⁴⁰And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this ³perverse generation.” ⁴¹Then those who ⁴gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
