Acts 4:23-31 - The Believers Pray For Continued Bold Witness
23 Being dismissed they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, Thou art God, who hast made heaven and earth, and sea, and all things therein: 25 who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? 26 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his anointed.
27 For of a truth both Herod and Pontius Pilate, the Gentiles and the people of Israel, combined against thy holy child Jesus, 28 (whom Thou hast anointed,) to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel had before determined to be done. 29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings; and give unto thy servants to speak thy word with all freedom, while Thou art stretching forth thy hand to heal, 30 and while signs and wonders are done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with freedom.
