Peter's Sermon at Pentecost

¹⁴ But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. ¹⁵ For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, ^(A)since it is only the third hour of the day.^{[a] 16} But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

³⁷ Now when ^(A)they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, ^(B)what shall we do?” ³⁸ And Peter said to them, ^(C)“Repent and ^(D)be baptized every one of you ^(E)in the name of Jesus Christ ^(F)for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive ^(G)the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁴¹ So those who received his word were baptized, and ^(A)there were added that day about three thousand souls.

The Fellowship of the Believers

⁴² And ^(B)they devoted themselves to the apostles' ^(C)teaching and the ^(D)fellowship, to ^(E)the breaking of bread and the prayers. ⁴³ And awe^[a] came upon every soul, and ^(F)many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. ⁴⁴ And all who believed were together and ^(G)had all things in common. ⁴⁵ And ^(H)they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. ⁴⁶ And day by day, ^(I)attending the temple ^(J)together and ^(K)breaking bread in their homes, they received their food ^(L)with glad and generous hearts, ⁴⁷ praising God and ^(M)having favor with all the people. And the Lord ^(N)added to their number ^(O)day by day those who ^(P)were being saved.
