Acts 2:29-45

²⁹My brothers and sisters, let me tell you plainly that our ancestor David died and was buried, and his tomb is here with us to this day.

³⁰But he was a prophet, and knew that God had promised on oath to place one of his descendants on his throne.

³¹David saw what would happen and spoke about the resurrection of Christ—for Christ was not abandoned to the grave nor did he experience decay.

³²God has raised this Jesus from the dead, and we're all witnesses of that.

³³Now he's been exalted to God's right hand, and has received from the Father the Holy Spirit whom he promised, and has poured out what you're seeing and hearing.

³⁴For David didn't ascend into heaven, but he did say: the Lord told my Lord, ‘Sit down here at my right hand

³⁵until I have made your enemies a stool to put your feet on.’

³⁶Now let everyone in Israel be totally convinced of this: God has made this Jesus, who you killed on a cross, both Lord and Messiah!”

³⁷When the people heard this they were conscience-stricken. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”

³⁸“Repent!” Peter told them. “All of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹This promise is given to you, to your children, and to all who are far away—everyone the Lord our God calls.”

⁴⁰Peter went on speaking, giving them much more evidence. He warned them, “Save yourselves from this perverted generation.”

⁴¹Those who accepted what he'd said were baptized, adding about three thousand people to the group of believers that day.

⁴²They committed themselves to what the apostles had taught them, and to the fellowship of the believers, “breaking bread” and praying together.

⁴³Everyone was in awe, and many miracles and signs were done through the apostles.

⁴⁴All the believers were together and shared everything they had.

⁴⁵They sold their property and belongings, sharing the proceeds with everyone as they needed.
