Acts 2:28-47
28You have madeG1107 knownG1107 to me the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; You will makeG4137 me fullG4137 of gladnessG2167 with Your presenceG4383.’
29“1BrothersG435G80, I mayG1832 confidentlyG3954 sayG3004 to you regardingG4012 the 2patriarchG3966 DavidG1160 that he bothG2532 3diedG5053 and 4was buriedG2290, and 5his tombG3418 is 6with us to thisG3778 dayG2250. 30SoG3767 because he was 7a prophetG4396 and knewG3609 that 8GodG2316 had swornG3660 to him with an oathG3727 to seatG2523 one 9of his descendantsG2590G3751 on his throneG2362, 31he lookedG4275 aheadG4275 and spokeG2980 of the resurrectionG386 of the 10ChristG5547, that 11He was neitherG3777 abandonedG1459 to HadesG86, norG3777 did His fleshG4561 12sufferG3708 decayG1312. 32It is thisG3778 JesusG2424 whom 13GodG2316 raisedG450 upG450, 14a fact to whichG3739 we are allG3956 15witnessesG3144. 33ThereforeG3767, 16since He has been exaltedG5312 1718at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, and 19has receivedG2983 20the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 from the FatherG3962, He has 21pouredG1632 outG1632 thisG3778 whichG3739 you bothG2532 seeG991 and hearG191. 34For it was not DavidG1160 who ascendedG305 into 22heavenG3772, but he himselfG846 saysG3004: ‘23The LordG2962 saidG3004 to my LordG2962, “SitG2521 at My rightG1188 handG1188,35UntilG2193 I makeG5087 Your enemiesG2190 a footstoolG5286 for Your feetG4228.”’ 36ThereforeG3767 let allG3956 the 24houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 for certainG806 that GodG2316 has madeG4160 Him bothG2532 25LordG2962 and 26ChristG5547--thisG3778 JesusG2424 27whomG3739 you crucifiedG4717.”
37NowG1161 when they heardG191 this, they were 28piercedG2660 to the heartG2588, and saidG3004 to PeterG4074 and the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, “29BrothersG435G80, 30whatG5101 are we to doG4160?” 38PeterG4074 said to them, “31RepentG3340, and eachG1538 of you be 32baptizedG907 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for the forgivenessG859 of your sinsG266; and you will receiveG2983 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 39For 33the promiseG1860 is for you and your childrenG5043 and for allG3956 whoG3588 are 34farG3112 awayG3112, as manyG3745 as the LordG2962 our GodG2316 will callG4341 to Himself.” 40And with manyG4183 otherG2087 wordsG3056 he solemnlyG1263 35testifiedG1263 and kept on urgingG3870 them, sayingG3004, “36Be savedG4982 from thisG3778 37perverseG4646 generationG1074!” 41SoG3767 thenG3767, thoseG3588 who had receivedG588 his wordG3056 were baptizedG907; and that dayG2250 there were addedG4369 aboutG5616 threeG5153 thousandG5153 3839soulsG5590. 42They were 40continuallyG4342 devotingG4342 themselvesG4342 to the apostles’G652 teachingG1322 and to fellowshipG2842, to 41the breakingG2800 of breadG740 and 42to 43prayerG4335.
4344EveryoneG3956 kept feelingG1096 a senseG5401 ofG5401 aweG5401; and manyG4183 45wondersG5059 and 46signsG4592 were takingG1096 placeG1096 throughG1223 the apostlesG652. 44And allG3956 the believersG4100 47were togetherG1909G3588G846 and 48hadG2192 allG537 thingsG537 in commonG2839; 45and they 49would sellG4097 their propertyG2933 and possessionsG5223 and shareG1266 them with allG3956, toG2530 theG2530 extentG2530 thatG2530 anyoneG5100 hadG2192 needG5532. 4650DayG2250 by dayG2250 continuingG4342 with oneG3661 mindG3661 in the templeG2413, and 51breakingG2806 breadG740 52from houseG3624 to houseG3624, they were takingG3335 their 53mealsG5160 togetherG3335 with gladnessG20 and 54sincerityG858 of heartG2588, 47praisingG134 GodG2316 and 55havingG2192 favorG5485 with allG3650 the peopleG2992. And the LordG2962 56was addingG4369 to 57their numberG846 dayG2250 by dayG2250 58thoseG3588 who were being savedG4982.
