Acts 4:20-30

20 For we cannot * but speak the things which we have seen and heard .

21 So when they had further threatened them , they let them go , finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done .

22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed .

23 And being let go , they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

24 And when they heard that , they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said , Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

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 stood up , and the rulers were gathered together * against the Lord, and against his Christ.

27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed , both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together ,

28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done .

29 And now, Lord, behold * their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
