37 Now when 1they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, 2what shall we do? ”
38 And Peter said to them, 3“Repent and 4be baptized every one of you 5in the name of Jesus Christ 6for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive 7the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For 8the promise is for you and 9for your children and for all 10who are far off, everyone 11whom the Lord our God calls to himself. ”
