24. And when they heard it, they lifted their voices with one mind to God and said, “Master, you are the one who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them,
25. the one who said by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of our father David, your servant, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples conspire in vain?
26. The kings of the earth stood opposed, and the rulers assembled together at the same place, against the Lord and against his Christ.’
27. For in truth both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, assembled together in this city against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed,
28. to do all that your hand and plan had predestined to take place.
29. And now, Lord, concern yourself with their threats and grant your slaves to speak your message with all boldness,
30. as you extend your hand to heal and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
31. And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.
32. Now the group of those who believed were one heart and soul, and no one said anything of what belonged to him was his own, but all things were theirs in common.
33. And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all.
