Acts 2:22 - Plain English Version22-23 Peter kept on talking. He said, “All you mob, listen, and I’ll tell you about Jesus, the man from Nazareth. He was a very special man. God helped him to do great and powerful things, to show you that he is really special. You mob saw Jesus doing those things right here in front of your eyes.

But God will save everybody that calls to him for help and asks him to save them.’ Joel wrote that in God’s book.”
