Acts 2:37–47

³⁷And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, ‘What shall we do, men, brethren?’ ³⁸and Peter said unto them, ‘Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, ³⁹for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.’ ⁴⁰Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, ‘Be saved from this perverse generation;’ ⁴¹then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls.

⁴²And they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers. ⁴³And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles, ⁴⁴and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common, ⁴⁵and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need. ⁴⁶Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart, ⁴⁷praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly.
