Exegesis
Two aorist passive indicatives, ebaptisthēsan {ἐβαπτίσθησαν | ebaptísthēsan} ‘they were baptized’ and prosetethēsan {προσετέθησαν | prosetéthēsan} ‘they were added’, are coordinated with kai {καὶ | kaí}, presenting baptism and incorporation into the community as sequential yet closely linked results of receiving the word.
In context — Acts 2:41
So then those who received his word were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added.
