Acts 2:34-47 ▼

34 for David is not ascended to heaven: yet he saith himself, "the Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,

35 until I make thy foes thy footstool."

36 therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

37 Now when they heard this, their hearts were struck with remorse, and they said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, men and brethren, what shall we do?

38 Peter replied, repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy spirit.

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

40 and with many other discourses did he conjure and exhort them, to save themselves from that depraved generation.

41 then they that embraced his doctrine, were baptized: and there were about three thousand converts made that very day.

42 they continued stedfastly in the apostolical doctrine of a community, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43 and all the people were allarm'd at the many prodigies and miracles which were done by the apostles.

44 All that believed were united together, and had all things in common,

45 so that they sold their possessions and goods, and distributed the money to every one as his occasions required.

46 and continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they did eat their meals with gladness, and simplicity of heart,

47 praising God, and showing benevolence to all the people, and the Lord encreased the church daily with new converts.
