Acts 2:34-41

34For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says, ‘The Lord said to my lord, “Sit at my right hand

35until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’

36Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ.”

37Now when they heard this, they were acutely distressed and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “What should we do, brothers?”

38Peter said to them, “Repent, and each one of you be baptized 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 your children, and for all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

40With many other words he testified and exhorted them saying, “Save yourselves from this perverse generation!”

41So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added.
