29Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.
30Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.
31Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.
32This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.
33Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.
34For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
35Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
36Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.
37Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?
38But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.
40And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
41They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
42And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all.
44And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common.
45Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.
