29Men and brethren, I may boldly speake vnto you of the Patriarke Dauid, that hee is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre remaineth with vs vnto this day.
30Therefore, seeing hee was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that of the fruite of his loynes hee woulde raise vp Christ concerning the flesh, to set him vpon his throne,
31Hee knowing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soule shoulde not bee left in graue, neither his flesh shoulde see corruption.
32This Iesus hath God raised vp, whereof we all are witnesses.
33Since then that he by the right hande of God hath bene exalted, and hath receiued of his Father the promise of the holy Ghost, hee hath shed foorth this which yee nowe see and heare.
34For Dauid is not ascended into heauen, but he sayth, The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hande,
35Vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
36Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a suretie, that God hath made him both Lord, and Christ, this Iesus, I say, whome yee haue crucified.
37Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their heartes, and said vnto Peter and the other Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we doe?
38Then Peter said vnto them, Amend your liues, and bee baptized euery one of you in the Name of Iesus Christ for the remission of sinnes: and ye shall receiue the gift of the holy Ghost.
39For the promise is made vnto you, and to your children, and to all that are a farre off, euen as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40And with many other words he besought and exhorted them, saying, Saue your selues from this froward generation.
41Then they that gladly receiued his word, were baptized: and the same day there were added to the Church about three thousand soules.
42And they continued in the Apostles doctrine, and fellowship, and breaking of bread, and prayers.
43And feare came vpon euery soule: and many wonders and signes were done by ye Apostles.
44And all that beleeued, were in one place, and had all things common.
45And they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all me, as euery one had need.
