The Response to Peter’s Address
2:37 Now when they heard this, they were acutely distressed and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles , “What should we do , brothers ?”
2:38 Peter said to them , “Repent , and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins , and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit .
2:39 For the promise is for you and your children , and for all who are far away , as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”
2:40 With many other words he testified and exhorted them saying , “Save yourselves from this perverse generation !”
2:41 So those who accepted his message were baptized , and that day about three thousand people were added .
