those day, Peter said to the people:
“Repent, and be Baptised every one
of you in the Name of Jesus Christ
for the Forgiveness of your sins, and
you shall receive the Gift of the Holy
Spirit.
For the Promise is to you and to your
children, and to all who are far off –
every one whom the Lord our God
Calls to Him.”
With many other words he Testified,
and exhorted them, saying: “Save
yourselves from this crooked
generation!”
Those who received his word were
Baptised, and that day there were
added about three thousand souls.
