# Acts 2:38 Explanation **Acts 2:38** states: *"Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'"* In context, Peter is responding to the crowd's conviction after his Pentecost sermon about Jesus's death and resurrection, telling them how to respond to the gospel. He calls them to repent (turn from sin to God), be baptized as a public identification with Christ, and promises they will receive forgiveness and the Holy Spirit—establishing the pattern for Christian conversion in the early church.
