An elderly lady arrived home from church to find a thief in her house.
She shouted at the top of her voice "ACTS 2:38", the verse that says "Repent and be baptised."
The thief froze, and remained till the police arrived to arrest him. As the officer was walking him to the patrol car, he asked "Why did you freeze when she called out the scripture"?
The thief said, "Scripture? I thought she said she had an axe and two .38's"
