30 Therefore, being a prophet, aand knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body,1 according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, athat His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.
32 aThis Jesus God has raised up, bof which we are all witnesses.
33 Therefore abeing exalted to bthe right hand of God, and chaving received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He dpoured out this which you now see and hear.
34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
a‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
a‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’
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.
