Acts of the Apostles
The Acts of our fathers the apostles, may their blessings be with us.
Acts 2 : 38 - 47
Chapter 2
| 38 | Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
|
| 39 | For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."
|
| 40 | And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation."
|
| 41 | Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
|
| 42 | And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
|
| 43 | Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
|
| 44 | Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,
|
| 45 | and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.
|
| 46 | So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
|
| 47 | praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
|
The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God.
Amen.
