Acts 4:18-28

Listen to Acts 4:18-28
18 And having called them, they charged [them] not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John answering said to them, If it be righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge ye;
20 for as for us *we* cannot refrain from speaking of the things which we have seen and heard.
21 But they, having further threatened them, let them go, finding no way how they might punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for what had taken place;
22 for the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was above forty years old.
23 And having been let go, they came to their own [company], and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24 And they, having heard [it], lifted up [their] voice with one accord to God, and said, Lord, *thou* art the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;
25 who hast said by the mouth of thy servant David, Why have [the] nations raged haughtily and [the] peoples meditated vain things?
26 The kings of the earth were there, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ.
27 For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with [the] nations, and peoples of Israel, have been gathered together in this city
28 to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel had determined before should come to pass.
