Acts 2:29-47 ▼

29 Men, brothers, it is permitted me to speak with freedom to you? concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us unto this day,

30 being therefore a prophet and knowing that God swore to him with an oath to seat one out of the fruit of his loins upon his throne.

31 Having foreseen, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was He abandoned into Hades, nor did His flesh see decay.

32 This Jesus God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.

33 Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He poured out this which you? both see and hear.

34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

35 until I place Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet.”’

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

37 And having heard, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?”

38 And Peter says to them, “Repent and be baptized, every 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.

39 For the promise is to you? and to your? children and to all those at a distance, as many as the Lord our God shall summon.”

40 And he earnestly testified many other words and was exhorting them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation.”

41 Therefore those indeed having received his word were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added.

42 Now they were steadfastly continuing in the teaching of the apostles and in the fellowship, in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers.

43 And fear was coming upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.

44 And all those believing were in the same place and were having all things in common.

45 And they were selling the possessions and the goods and were dividing them to all, as anyone had need.

46 And every day they were steadfastly continuing with one accord in the temple and breaking bread at each house. They were partaking of food with gladness and sincerity of heart,

47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord kept adding every day to the same those being saved.
