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.

2:39. For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are
far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.

2:40. And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them,
saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

2:41. They therefore that received his word were baptized: and there
were added in that day about three thousand souls.

2:42. And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles and in
the communication of the breaking of bread and in prayers.

2:43. And fear came upon every soul. Many wonders also and signs were
done by the apostles in Jerusalem: and there was great fervor in all.

2:44. And all they that believed were together and had all things
common.

2:45. Their possessions and goods they sold and divided them to all,
according as every one had need.

2:46. And continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking
bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and
simplicity of heart:

2:47. Praising God and having favour with all the people. And the Lord
increased daily together such as should be saved.
