New Testament

Acts 2:36-44 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.
