Acts 2:34-47 ▼

34 For Dauid is not ascended into heaue, but he sayeth: The Lorde sayde to my Lorde, syt thou on my ryght,

35 Untill I make thy foes thy footstoole.

36 Therfore, let all the house of Israel know for a suretie, that God hath made that same Iesus, whom ye haue crucified, Lorde and Christe.

37 Nowe when they hearde this, they were pricked in their heartes, and sayde vnto Peter, & vnto the other Apostles: Ye men & brethren, what shall we do?

38 Then Peter sayde vnto them: Repent, and be baptized euery one of you in the name of Iesus Christe, for the remission of sinnes, and ye shall receaue the gyft of the holy ghost.

39 For the promise was made vnto you, and to your chyldren, and to all that are a farre of, euen as many as the Lorde our God shall call.

40 And with many other wordes bare he witnesse, and exhorted them, saying: Saue your selues from this vntowarde generation.

41 Then they that gladly receaued his worde, were baptized: And the same day there were added vnto them, about three thousande soules.

42 And they continued stedfastly in the Apostles doctrine and felowship, and in breakyng of bread, and in prayers.

43 And feare came vpon euery soule. And many wonders and signes were done by the Apostles.

44 And all that beleued, kept them selues together, and had all thynges common,

45 And solde their possessions & goodes, and parted them to all men, as euery man had neede.

46 And they continued dayly with one accorde in the temple, and brake bread from house to house, and dyd eate their meate together, with gladnesse and singlenesse of heart,

47 Praysyng God, & had fauour with all the people. And the Lorde added to the Churche dayly, such as should be saued.
