27. For You will not abandon my soul to Hades,nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
28. You have made known to me the ways of life;You will make me full of joy with Your presence.’
29. “Brothers, I may speak confidently to you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30. But being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of his seed according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
31. he foresaw this and spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.
32. God raised up this Jesus, of which we all are witnesses.
33. Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured out this which you now see and hear.
34. For David has not ascended to the heavens, yet he says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord,“Sit at My right hand,
35. Until I make Your enemiesYour footstool.” ’
36. “Therefore, let all the house of Israel assuredly know that God has made this Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37. When they heard this, they were stung in the heart and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38. Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39. For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
40. With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”
41. Then those who gladly received his word were baptized, and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
42. They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in the prayers.
43. Fear came to every soul. And many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44. All who believed were together and had all things in common.
45. They sold their property and goods and distributed them to all, according to their need.
46. And continuing daily with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
47. praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
