⁷ And ^(A)they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking ^(B)Galileans? ⁸ And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? ⁹ Parthians and ^(C)Medes and ^(D)Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, ¹¹ both Jews and ^(E)proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” ¹² And ^(F)all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” ¹³ But others ^(G)mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”

³² This Jesus ^(A)God raised up, ^(B)and of that we all are witnesses. ^33 (C)Being therefore ^(D)exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from ^(E)the Father ^(F)the promise of the Holy Spirit, ^(G)he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.

³⁶ Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that ^(A)God has made him ^(B)both Lord and Christ, this Jesus ^(C)whom you crucified.”

³⁷ Now when ^(D)they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, ^(E)what shall we do?” ³⁸ And Peter said to them, ^(F)“Repent and ^(G)be baptized every one of you ^(H)in the name of Jesus Christ ^(I)for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive ^(J)the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For ^(K)the promise is for you and ^(L)for your children and for all ^(M)who are far off, everyone ^(N)whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” ⁴⁰ And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, ^(O)“Save yourselves from this ^(P)crooked generation.” ⁴¹ So those who received his word were baptized, and ^(Q)there were added that day about three thousand souls.

The Fellowship of the Believers

⁴² And ^(R)they devoted themselves to the apostles' ^(S)teaching and the ^(T)fellowship, to ^(U)the breaking of bread and the prayers. ⁴³ And awe^[a] came upon every soul, and ^(V)many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. ⁴⁴ And all who believed were together and ^(W)had all things in common. ⁴⁵ And ^(X)they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. ⁴⁶ And day by day, ^(Y)attending the temple ^(Z)together and ^(AA)breaking bread in their homes, they received their food ^(AB)with glad and generous hearts, ⁴⁷ praising God and ^(AC)having favor with all the people. And the Lord ^(AD)added to their number ^(AE)day by day those who ^(AF)were being saved.
