PETER’S FIRST SPEECH ON PENTECOST DAY AND ITS EFFECT (Acts 2:14-41) CONTENTS: 1. PETER’S FIRST SPEECH 2. ITS EFFECT PETER’S FIRST SPEECH On hearing the false accusation that the disciples who were under the influence of the Holy Spirit, were drunk, Peter stood up to refute the charge of drunkenness. This led to his first speech on the day of Pentecost. Peter told his hearers that it was unlikely that they would be drunk at the third hour of the day, that is, 9.00am. He made references to the Old Testament to prove that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah. He quoted Prophet Joel 2:28 to show that they were not under the influence of the Holy Spirit .
