Acts 2:37-47

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.

42They were devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

43Reverential awe came over everyone, and many wonders and miraculous signs came about by the apostles.

44All who believed were together and held everything in common,

45and they began selling their property and possessions and distributing the proceeds to everyone, as anyone had need.

46Every day they continued to gather together by common consent in the temple courts, breaking bread from house to house, sharing their food with glad and humble hearts,

47praising God and having the good will of all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number every day those who were being saved.
