Acts 4:23-31

Common English Bible CEB

23 After their release, Peter and John returned to the brothers and sisters and reported everything the chief priests and elders had said.

24 They listened, then lifted their voices in unison to God, "Master, you are the one who created the heaven, the earth, the sea, and everything in them.

25 You are the one who spoke by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant: Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples plot in vain?

26 The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers gathered together as one against the Lord and against his Christ.

27 Indeed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with Gentiles and Israelites, did gather in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.

28 They did what your power and plan had already determined would happen.

29 Now, Lord, take note of their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with complete confidence.

30 Stretch out your hand to bring healing and enable signs and wonders to be performed through the name of Jesus, your holy servant."

31 After they prayed, the place where they were gathered was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking God's word with confidence.
