Exegesis
The text issues two imperatives, metanoēsate {Μετανοήσατε | Me-ta-no-ḗ-sa-te} “repent” (second person plural) and baptisthētō {βαπτισθήτω | bap-tis-thḗ-tō} “let be baptized” (third person singular passive), coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaí}.
In context — Acts 2:38
But Peter told them, “Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be pardoned, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit .”
