Acts 2:38

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening church service when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the burglar red-handed, and yelled, "STOP! Acts 2:38 (meaning, repent and be baptized...)!"
The burglar immediately stopped! The woman then calmly called the police and explained what she had done.
As the officer cuffed the burglar, he asked him, "why did you just stand there? All the lady did was yell Scripture to you."
Scripture? replied the burglar, "I thought she said she had an axe and two 38's!"
