making them a footstool under your feet.*
36So let everyone in Israel know for certain that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, to be both Lord and Messiah!
37Peters words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, Brothers, what should we do?
38Peter replied, Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away*all who have been called by the Lord our God. 40Then Peter continued preaching for a long time, strongly urging all his listeners, Save yourselves from this crooked generation!
41Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that dayabout 3,000 in all.
