Acts 2:32-47

New International Version

³² God has raised this Jesus to life,^(A) and we are all witnesses^(B) of it. ³³ Exalted^(C) to the right hand of God,^(D) he has received from the Father^(E) the promised Holy Spirit^(F) and has poured out^(G) what you now see and hear. ³⁴ For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,

³⁶ “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord^(I) and Messiah.”^(J)

³⁷ When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”^(K)

³⁸ Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized,^(L) every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.^(M) And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.^{(N) 39} The promise is for you and your children^(O) and for all who are far off^(P)—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

⁴⁰ With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”^{(Q) 41} Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number^(R) that day.

The Fellowship of the Believers

⁴² They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching^(S) and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread^(T) and to prayer.^{(U) 43} Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.^{(V) 44} All the believers were together and had everything in common.^{(W) 45} They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.^{(X) 46} Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.^(Y) They broke bread^(Z) in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, ⁴⁷ praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.^(AA) And the Lord added to their number^(AB) daily those who were being saved.
