On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles, empowering them to speak in various languages and share the message of Jesus Christ with a diverse crowd. Peter, filled with the Spirit, delivered a compelling sermon that explained the significance of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. His words resonated deeply with the listeners, leading many to a moment of conviction and decision. This verse captures the response of those who accepted Peter's message: they were baptized, symbolizing their new faith and commitment to follow Christ. The addition of about three thousand people to the early church community illustrates the powerful work of the Holy Spirit and the openness of hearts ready to receive the Gospel. This event marks a pivotal moment in church history, showcasing the beginning of the church's expansion and the fulfillment of Jesus' promise that His followers would be witnesses to the ends of the earth. It reminds believers today of the importance of sharing their faith and the potential for God to work mightily through their witness.
Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
