Acts 4:24-34

²⁴When they heard what had happened, they prayed to God together: “Lord, you made heaven and earth and sea, and everything that is in them.

²⁵You spoke by the Holy Spirit through David, our forefather and your servant, saying ‘Why did the people of the other nations become so angry? Why did they plot so foolishly against me?

²⁶The kings of the earth prepared for war the rulers united together against the Lord and against his Chosen One.’

²⁷Now this has really happened right here in this city! Both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the foreigners and the people of Israel, united together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed as Messiah.

²⁸They did whatever you had already decided because you had the power and the will to do it.

²⁹Now Lord: look at all their threats against us! Help us your servants to speak your word really boldly.

³⁰As you exercise your power to heal, may signs and miracles be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus!”

³¹When they had finished praying, the building they were meeting in was shaken. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God boldly.

³²All the believers thought and felt the same way. None of them claimed anything they had as their own, but shared everything with each other.

³³The apostles gave their testimony regarding the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with tremendous power, and God greatly blessed them all.

³⁴None of them needed anything because those who had lands or properties sold them.
