29. My brothers, one can confidently say to you about the patriarch David that he died and was buried, and his tomb is in our midst to this day.
30. But since he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants upon his throne,
31. he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that neither was he abandoned to the netherworld nor did his flesh see corruption.
32. God raised this Jesus; of this we are all witnesses.
33. Exalted at the right hand of God, he received the promise of the holy Spirit from the Father and poured it forth, as you (both) see and hear.

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

40. He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”
41. Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day.

43. Awe came upon everyone, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44. All who believed were together and had all things in common;
45. they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one’s need.
46. Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their homes. They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart,
