38 Peter said to them, “Turn to God and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 This promise is for you and your children. It is for everyone our Lord God will choose, no matter where they live.”
40 Peter told them many other things as well. Then he said, “I beg you to save yourselves from what will happen to all these evil people.”
41 On that day about 3,000 believed his message and were baptized.
42 They spent their time learning from the apostles, and they were like family to each other. They also broke bread and prayed together.
43 Everyone was amazed by the many miracles and wonders that the apostles worked.
44 All the Lord's followers often met together, and they shared everything they had.
