Acts 2:29-41

New American Standard Bible

²⁹ “^[a]Brothers, I may confidently say to you regarding the ^(A)patriarch David that he both ^(B)died and ^(C)was buried, and ^(D)his tomb is ^[b]with us to this day. ³⁰ So because he was ^(E)a prophet and knew that ^(F)God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one ^[c]of his descendants on his throne, ³¹ he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the ^[d]Christ, that ^(G)He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh ^[e]suffer decay. ³² It is this Jesus whom ^(H)God raised up, ^[f]a fact to which we are all ^(I)witnesses. ³³ Therefore, ^[g]since He has been exalted ^[h](J)at the right hand of God, and ^(K)has received ^(L)the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He has ^(M)poured out this which you both see and hear. ³⁴ For it was not David who ascended into ^[i]heaven, but he himself says:

³⁶ Therefore let all the ^(O)house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both ^(P)Lord and ^[j]Christ—this Jesus ^(Q)whom you crucified.”

³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were ^[k]pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “^[l]Brothers, ^(R)what are we to do?” ³⁸ Peter said to them, “^(S)Repent, and each of you be ^(T)baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For ^(U)the promise is for you and your children and for all who are ^(V)far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” ⁴⁰ And with many other words he solemnly ^(W)testified and kept on urging them, saying, “^[m]Be saved from this ^(X)perverse generation!” ⁴¹ So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand ^[n](Y)souls.
