Acts 2:37-41

The Response to Peter’s Sermon

37 Now [when they] heard [this], they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "What should we do, men [and] brothers?"

38 And Peter [said] to them, "Repent and be baptized, each 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 For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all those [who are] far away, as many as the Lord our God calls to himself."

40 And with many other words he solemnly urged and exhorted them, saying, "Be saved from this crooked generation!"

41 So those who accepted his message were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added.
