Jesus was the fulfilment of the prophets of the Old Testament (by the way, this includes people like Moses, as well as the prophets with books named after them). They were all looking forward to the coming of the Messiah, and that forgiveness would come through Him. The Bible is quite clear that all men are sinners, and this includes Israel. Indeed, the Old Testament majors on the sinfulness of Israel!

While Peter was speaking the Holy Spirit came down on the gathering. Note that Peter didn’t ask for this to happen, it was a direct action of the Holy Spirit. When we serve God we do so together with the Holy Spirit, and it is more than a matter of the Holy Spirit blessing what we do. He is God and He acts.
