An elderly returns home from an evening church service and is startled by an
intruder.
Catching the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yells, "Stop! Acts 2:38!" ("...Repent and be baptized....")
The burglar stops dead in his tracks and the woman calmly calls the police, explaining what she did.
Later, an officer cuffs the burglar and asks, "Why did you just stand there? All the woman did was yell a Bible scripture at you."
"Scripture?" replies the burglar. "I thought she said she had an ax and two 38's!!!"
