Peter Urges The Crowd To Repent And Be Baptized. About 3,000 Respond

³⁷ And having heard it, they were pierced in the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Men, brothers, what should we do?” ³⁸ And Peter says to them, “Repent, and let each of you be baptized on-the-basis-of ^[a] 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 the ones far-away— all-whom the Lord our God will call-to Himself ”. ⁴⁰ And he solemnly-testified with many other words, and was exhorting them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation”. ⁴¹ So indeed, the ones having welcomed^[b] his word were baptized. And about three-thousand souls were added on that day.
