Peter's Sermon at Pentecost

³⁶ Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that _j God has made him _k both Lord and Christ, this Jesus _l whom you crucified."

³⁷ Now when _m they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, _n what shall we do?" ³⁸ And Peter said to them, _o "Repent and _p be baptized every one of you _q in the name of Jesus Christ _r for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive _s the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For _t the promise is for you and _u for your children and for all _v who are far off, everyone _w whom the Lord our God calls to himself." ⁴⁰ And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, _x "Save yourselves from this _y crooked generation."
