³²“This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses.^* ³³Being therefore exalted at^m the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you see and hear.^* ³⁴For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,

‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at my right hand,^*

³⁵until I make your enemies your footstool.” ’

³⁶“Therefore let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah,ⁿ this Jesus whom you crucified.”

The First Converts

³⁷Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, “Brothers,^o what should we do?”^* ³⁸Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.^* ³⁹For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.”^* ⁴⁰And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” ⁴¹So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added.
