Do you know that it was not just Peter speaking? All of the Apostles were speaking/preaching the Good News. (just saying)
Acts, Chapter 2:
4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

It does go on to specify Peter stood up and began preaching the message of Christ who they killed and who rose again
“But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:”
Acts 2:14
I find it interesting it’s Peter again when the gentiles have the spirit poured upon them at thier “ pentocost “
“While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.
Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.”
Acts 10:44-48 KJV
“And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; and put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.”
Acts 15:7-9
Seems Peter was beginning to carry out the great commission

The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4
When the Lord made Adam from the earth it had no life. Wasn't till the Lord breathed a living Spirit into Adam did he live. Same is true when our parents come together to bring forth a child. The child comes forth from the earth but has no life till the Lord gives it a living soul.

4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God, 6 who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not in a written code but in the Spirit; for the written code kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Cor. 3
