37 Now when they had heard these things, they were contrite in heart, and they said to Peter and to the other Apostles: 'What should we do, noble brothers?'
38 Yet truly, Peter said to them: 'Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For the Promise is for you and for your sons, and for all who are far away: for whomever the Lord our God will have called.'
40 And then, with very many other words, he testified and he exhorted them, saying, 'Save yourselves from this depraved generation.'
41 Therefore, those who accepted his discourse were baptized. And about three thousand souls were added on that day.
