Acts 2:28-47

28Thou hast made known to me [the] paths of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy countenance. 29Brethren, let it be allowed to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he has both died and been buried, and his monument is amongst us unto this day. 30Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that 1God had sworn to him with an oath, of the fruit of his loins to set upon his throne; 31he, seeing [it] before, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither has he been left in hades nor his flesh seen corruption. 32This Jesus has 2God raised up, whereof all we are witnesses. 33Having therefore been exalted by the right hand of 3God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which ye behold and hear. 34For David has not ascended into the heavens, but he says himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand 35until I have put thine enemies [to be] the footstool of thy feet. 36Let the whole house of Israel therefore know assuredly that 4God has made him, this Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37And having heard [it] they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, What shall we do, brethren? 38And Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptised, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all who [are] afar off, as many as [the] Lord our 5God may call. 40And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation. 41Those then who had accepted his word were baptised; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls. 42And they persevered in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles, in breaking of bread and prayers. 43And fear was upon every soul, and many wonders and signs took place through the apostles' means. 44And all that believed were together, and had all things common, 45and sold their possessions and substance, and distributed them to all, according as any one might have need. 46And every day, being constantly in the temple with one accord, and breaking bread in [the] house, they received their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47praising 6God, and having favour with all the people; and the Lord added [to the assembly] daily those that were to be saved.
