Quite a Difference in Interpretation.......😷

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening worship service and was startled to find an intruder in her house! Catching the man in the act of burglarizing her home, she yelled, "STOP! Acts 2:38!" ("Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.") When the burglar heard this, he stopped dead in his tracks, blanched and raised two shaking hands. The woman quickly called the police and told them exactly what happened. They arrived minutes later with sirens blaring. Several officers strode in and took the unresisting man into custody. As he was placing the handcuffs on the burglar, one of the officers asked, "Why did you just stand there? All the lady did was mention a scripture verse." "Scripture? What scripture??" replied the confused burglar. "She said she had an axe and two 38s!"

There is a real anecdote told by my gandparents.
An old pious lady, friend of them both, walked by night by the street between two cementeries.
She weared black dress and covered her head with an also black lace shawl.
A thief said to her: "your money or your life!"
The pious lady answered opening her arms: "I no more belong to this world, son"
The thief is probably stil running.
