Acts 2:34-41

34David didn’t go up to heaven, but he said, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Take the honored position—the one next to me [God the Father] on the heavenly throne—

35until I put your enemies under your control.” ’

36“All the people of Israel should know beyond a doubt that God made Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

37When the people heard this, they were deeply upset. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”

38Peter answered them, “All of you must turn to God and change the way you think and act, and each of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins will be forgiven. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift.

39This promise belongs to you and to your children and to everyone who is far away. It belongs to everyone who worships the Lord our God.”

40Peter said much more to warn them. He urged, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”

41Those who accepted what Peter said were baptized. That day about 3,000 people were added ⌞to the group⌟.
