And about three-thousand souls were added on that day.

And many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. ⁴⁴ And all the ones believing were at the same^[e] place, and were having all things common. ⁴⁵ And they were selling properties and possessions, and distributing them to all— as anyone was having a need. ⁴⁶ And while continuing daily with-one-accord in the temple and breaking bread^[f] house by house, they were sharing-in food with gladness and simplicity of heart, ⁴⁷ while praising God and having favor with the whole people. And the Lord was adding the ones being saved daily at-the-same-place.
