Peter addressed the large crowd on Pentecost, concluding with the appeal in v. 38 to repent, be baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This reference to the gift of God's spirit is in the context of the apostles having used those gifts in speaking in tongues to the crowd, explaining that by doing so they were providing a fulfilment of Joel's prophecy about the giving of the miraculous gifts (Acts 2:16-20). It is therefore reasonable to assume that Peter was promising the miraculous gifts of the spirit to that crowd of Jews who were listening to him.
Petro alihutubia mkutano mkubwa siku ya Pentekoste, akamalizia kwa ombi lililo katika aya ya 38 kutubu, kubatizwa na kupokea kipawa cha Roho Mtakatifu. Huku kutajwa kipawa cha Roho ya Mungu kupo katika maneno yenyewe ya mitume wakiisha tumia karama hizo za kunena katika lugha katika mkutano, kunaelezea ya kwamba kufanya hivyo walikuwa wanatimiza unabii wa Yoeli unaohusu kupewa karama za kufanya miujiza (Mdo. 2:16 -20).kwa sababu hiyo inafaa kukubali kuwa ni kweli kwamba Petro alikuwa anaahidi karama za Roho kwa ule mkusanyiko wa Wayahudi waliokuwa wanamsikiliza.
