36"Therefore let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah."
37When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: "Brothers, what should we do?"
38Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call."
40With many other words he testified and strongly urged them, saying, "Be saved from this corrupt generation."
41So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added to them.
42They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.
43Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles.
44Now all the believers were together and held all things in common.
45They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as any had need.
46Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts,
47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. Every day the Lord was adding to their number those who were being saved.
