Acts 4:23-31 - The Believers Pray For Continued Bold Witness
23 And being dismissed they came to their friends, and related to them what the chief priests and elders said to them. 24 And when they heard it they lifted up their voice with one consent to God, and said, Master, thou who hast made heaven, and the earth, the sea, and all things in them, 25 who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the nations rage and the peoples devise vain things? 26 the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were assembled together against the Lord, and against his anointed.
27 For of a truth, in this city, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles and people of Israel, were assembled together against thy holy servant Jesus whom thou hast anointed, 28 to do what thy hand and counsel before appointed to be done. 29 And now, Lord, look down upon their threatenings, and grant to thy servants with all boldness to speak thy word, 30 by stretching out thy hand, that cures and miracles and prodigies may be performed by the name of thy holy servant Jesus. 31 And when they had prayed the place was shaken in which they were assembled, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God with boldness.
