Acts 2:37-47

37NowG1161 when they heardG191 this, they were 1piercedG2660 to the heartG2588, and saidG3004 to PeterG4074 and the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, “2BrothersG435G80, 3whatG5101 are we to doG4160?” 38PeterG4074 said to them, “4RepentG3340, and eachG1538 of you be 5baptizedG907 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for the forgivenessG859 of your sinsG266; and you will receiveG2983 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 39For 6the promiseG1860 is for you and your childrenG5043 and for allG3956 whoG3588 are 7farG3112 awayG3112, as manyG3745 as the LordG2962 our GodG2316 will callG4341 to Himself.” 40And with manyG4183 otherG2087 wordsG3056 he solemnlyG1263 8testifiedG1263 and kept on urgingG3870 them, sayingG3004, “9Be savedG4982 from thisG3778 10perverseG4646 generationG1074!” 41SoG3767 thenG3767, thoseG3588 who had receivedG588 his wordG3056 were baptizedG907; and that dayG2250 there were addedG4369 aboutG5616 threeG5153 thousandG5153 1112soulsG5590. 42They were 13continuallyG4342 devotingG4342 themselvesG4342 to the apostles’G652 teachingG1322 and to fellowshipG2842, to 14the breakingG2800 of breadG740 and 15to 16prayerG4335.

4317EveryoneG3956 kept feelingG1096 a senseG5401 ofG5401 aweG5401; and manyG4183 18wondersG5059 and 19signsG4592 were takingG1096 placeG1096 throughG1223 the apostlesG652. 44And allG3956 the believersG4100 20were togetherG1909G3588G846 and 21hadG2192 allG537 thingsG537 in commonG2839; 45and they 22would sellG4097 their propertyG2933 and possessionsG5223 and shareG1266 them with allG3956, toG2530 theG2530 extentG2530 thatG2530 anyoneG5100 hadG2192 needG5532. 4623DayG2250 by dayG2250 continuingG4342 with oneG3661 mindG3661 in the templeG2413, and 24breakingG2806 breadG740 25from houseG3624 to houseG3624, they were takingG3335 their 26mealsG5160 togetherG3335 with gladnessG20 and 27sincerityG858 of heartG2588, 47praisingG134 GodG2316 and 28havingG2192 favorG5485 with allG3650 the peopleG2992. And the LordG2962 29was addingG4369 to 30their numberG846 dayG2250 by dayG2250 31thoseG3588 who were being savedG4982.
