Acts 2:29-47
29 "Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and
was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and
knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his
descendants on his throne. 31 Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the
resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor
did
his body see decay. 32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all
witnesses of the fact. 33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has
received
from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now
see
and hear. 34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
"'The Lord said to my Lord:"Sit at my right hand 35 until I make your
enemiesa footstool for your feet." '
36 "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus,
whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to
Peter
and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name
of
Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the
gift
of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for
all
who are far off - for all whom the Lord our God will call."
40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save
yourselves from this corrupt generation." 41 Those who accepted his
message
were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that
day.
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the
fellow****p,
to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe,
and
many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44 All the
believers were together and had everything in common. 45 Selling their
possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46 Every day
they
continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their
homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and
enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number
daily those who were being saved.
May God bless,
