Acts 2:34-47 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

34. For it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but he himself says:The Lord declared to my Lord,‘Sit at My right hand

35. until I make Your enemies Your footstool.’

36. “Therefore let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah! ”

37. When they heard this, they came under deep conviction and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: “Brothers, what must we do? ”

38. “Repent,” Peter said to them, “and be baptized, each 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 who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

40. And with many other words he testified and strongly urged them, saying, “Be saved from this corrupt generation! ”

41. So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about 3,000 people were added to them.

42. And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to the prayers.

43. Then fear came over everyone, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles.

44. Now all the believers were together and held all things in common.

45. They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as anyone had a need.

46. Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple complex, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with a joyful and humble attitude,

47. praising God and having favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to them those who were being saved.
