Acts 2:30-40

30 Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon his throne,

31 with prophetic foresight he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, to the effect that He was not left forsaken in the Unseen World, nor did His body undergo decay.

32 This Jesus, God has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify.

33 "Being therefore lifted high by the mighty hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out this which you see and hear.

34 For David did not ascend into Heaven, but he says himself, "`The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand

35 until I make thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'

36 "Therefore let the whole House of Israel know beyond all doubt that God has made Him both LORD and CHRIST--this Jesus whom you crucified."

37 Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, "Brethren, what are we to do?"

38 "Repent," replied Peter, "and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, with a view to the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39 For to you belongs the promise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, whoever the Lord our God may call."

40 And with many more appeals he solemnly warned and entreated them, saying, "Escape from this crooked generation."
