Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 2:37

37 ¶ Now when they heard this , they were pricked in their heart , and said unto Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren , What shall we do ?

So great and true their grief, they were concerned as if they had been run thorow; (the pains the mind suffer are most acute) this was foretold, Zech 12.10.

An ordinary compellation which the Apostle had given them, ver. 29.

Not what we shall say or believe; Conversion, if real, goes further than Profession, and is in heart and deed, not in speech and word onely: they desire to know if that there be any hope, that such sinners as they, might obtain forgiveness of their sins.
