And when they heard that, they lifted up
their voice to God with one accord,
and said, Lord, thou art God, which
hast made heaven, and earth, and
the sea, and all that in them is:
Who by the mouth of thy servant
David hast said, Why did the
heathen rage, and the people imagine
vain things? The kings of the earth
stood up, and the rulers were
gathered together against the Lord,
and against his Christ. For of a truth
against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou
hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius
Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the
people of Israel, were gathered
together, For to do whatsoever thy
hand and thy counsel determined
before to be done. And now, Lord, behold
their threatenings: and grant unto thy
servants, that with all boldness they may
speak thy word, By stretching forth thine
hand to heal; and that signs and wonders
may be done by the name of thy holy
child Jesus. And when they had prayed,
the place was shaken where they were
assembled together; and they were all filled
with the Holy Ghost, and they spake
the word of God with boldness. And the
multitude of them that believed were of one
heart and of one soul: neither said any of
them that ought of the things which he
possessed was his own; but they had
all things common. And with great power
gave the apostles witness of the resurrection
of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was
upon them all.
Acts 4:24-33
