Now they heard the disciples declaring that it was the Son of God who had been crucified. Priests and rulers trembled. Conviction and anguish seized the people. "They were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Among those who listened to the disciples were devout Jews, who were sincere in their belief. The power that accompanied the words of the speaker convinced them that Jesus was indeed the Messiah.

Nu hørte de disciplene erklære, at det var Guds Søn, som var blevet korsfæstet. Præsterne og rådsherrerne skælvede. Folket var grebet af skyldfølelse og angst." Da de hørte dette, stak det dem i hjertet, og de sagde til Peter og de øvrige apostle: "Brødre, hvad skal vi gøre?" Blandt dem, der lyttede til disciplene, var der fromme jøder, der var oprigtige i deres tro. Den kraft, som ledsagede den talendes ord, overbeviste dem om, at Jesus virkelig var Messias.
