Acts 2:37-44

³⁷When the people heard what Peter said , they felt very guilty IDM. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we (exc) do so that God will forgive us ?”

³⁸Peter answered them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then we(exc) will baptize you, if you now believe in Jesus Christ. Then God will give you the Holy Spirit.

³⁹God has promised to do that MTY for you and your descendants, and for all others who believe in him, even those who live far away from here. The Lord our God will give his Spirit to everyone whom he invites to become his people!”

⁴⁰Peter spoke much more and spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “ Ask God to save you so that he will not punish you when he punishes these evil people who have rejected Jesus!”

⁴¹So the people who believed Peter's message were baptized. There were about three thousand SYN who joined the group of believers that day.

⁴²They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together with the other believers. And they continually ate together and celebrated the Lord's Supper, and continually prayed together.

⁴³All the people SYN who were in Jerusalem were greatly revering God because the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.

⁴⁴All of those who believed in Jesus were united and regularly met together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
