Acts 2:38
Compare all
36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37 Now when they heard this, athey were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”  
38 Then Peter said to them, a“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the1 remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  
39 For the promise is to you and ato your children, and bto all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”  

A Vital Church Grows

40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this1 perverse generation.”  
41 Then those who1 gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.  
42 aAnd they continued steadfastly in the apostles’1 doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.  
43 Then fear came upon every soul, and amany wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

John Wesley's Notes
<< Acts 2:37   Acts 2:39 >>


Acts 2:38

Repent - And hereby return to God: be baptized - Believing in the name of Jesus - And ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost - See the three - one God clearly proved. See Acts 26:20. The gift of the Holy Ghost does not mean in this place the power of speaking with tongues. For the promise of this was not given to all that were afar off, in distant ages and nations. But rather the constant fruits of faith, even righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Whomsoever the Lord our God shall call - (Whether they are Jews or Gentiles) by his word and by his Spirit: and who are not disobedient to the heavenly calling. But it is observable St. Peter did not yet understand the very words he spoke.
