2:37 Now when they heard this, 1 they were acutely distressed 2 and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “What should we do, brothers?” 2:38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and each one of you be baptized 3 in the name of Jesus Christ 4 for 5 the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 6 2:39 For the promise 7 is for you and your children, and for all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.” 2:40 With many other words he testified 8 and exhorted them saying, “Save yourselves from this perverse 9 generation!” 2:41 So those who accepted 10 his message 11 were baptized, and that day about three thousand people 12 were added. 13
2:42 They were devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, 14 to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 15 2:43 Reverential awe 16 came over everyone, 17 and many wonders and miraculous signs 18 came about by the apostles. 2:44 All who believed were together and held 19 everything in common, 2:45 and they began selling 20 their property 21 and possessions and distributing the proceeds 22 to everyone, as anyone had need. 2:46 Every day 23 they continued to gather together by common consent in the temple courts, 24 breaking bread from 25 house to house, sharing their food with glad 26 and humble hearts, 27 2:47 praising God and having the good will 28 of all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number every day 29 those who were being saved.
