Acts 2:32-47 ▼

32 This Jesus hath God raised up from the dead, of which we all are witnesses.

33 Therefore being exalted by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the holy Spirit, He hath poured forth this gift, which ye now see and hear.

34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he himself says, "The Lord said to my Lord,

35 Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool."

36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made this very Jesus, whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.

37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

38 And Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Spirit:

39 for the promise is to you and to your children, yea and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

40 And with many other words did he press and exhort them, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

41 They therefore that received his word with readiness were baptized: and in that same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

42 And they continued stedfast in the apostles doctrine, and fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43 And fear came upon all the people: and many miracles and signs were wrought by the apostles.

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common.

45 And they sold their possessions and goods, and distributed to all, according as any one had need.

46 And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

47 praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
