41 They, therefore, who received his word with readiness, were immersed: and there were added to the disciples that very day, about three thousand souls.

42 And they continued steadfast in the teaching, in the fellowship, in the breaking of the load, and in the prayers of the Apostles.

43 Fear also fell upon every soul, and many miracles and signs were wrought by the Apostles.

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things in common.

45 They also sold their possessions and effects, and distributed them to every one according to his necessity.

46 Moreover, they continued unanimously in the temple every day; and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with joy and simplicity of heart,

47 praising God, having favor with all the people: and the Lord daily added the saved to the congregation.
