Peter, Witness of the Resurrection14Then Peter stood up with the Eleven and, with a loud voice, addressed them: “Fellow Jews and all foreigners now staying in Jerusalem, listen to what I have to say.

Therefore let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.

When they heard this, they were deeply troubled. Then they asked Peter and the other apostles:

“What shall we do, brothers?”

Peter answered:

“Each of you must repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven. Then, you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

For the promise of God was made to you and your children and to all those from afar, whom our God may call.”

With many other words, Peter gave the message and appealed to them, saying:

“Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”

Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand people were added that day.
