21. And having threatened them further, they released them, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, because they were all praising Elohim for what had been done.
22. For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been done.
23. And having been released, they went to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and elders said to them.
24. And having heard that, they lifted up their voice to Elohim with one mind and said, “יהוה, You are Elohim, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them,
25. who by the mouth of Your servant Dawiḏ have said, ‘Why did the gentiles rage, and the people plot in vain?
26. ‘The sovereigns of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against יהוה and against His Messiah.’
27. “For truly, in this city there were gathered together against Your set-apart Servant יהושע, whom You anointed, both Herodes and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles and the people of Yisra’ĕl
28. to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose decided before to be done.
29. “And now, יהוה, look on their threats, and give to Your servants all boldness to speak Your word,
30. by stretching out Your hand for healing, and signs, and wonders to take place through the Name of Your set-apart Servant יהושע.”
31. And when they had prayed, the place where they came together was shaken. And they were all filled with the Set-apart Spirit, and they spoke the word of Elohim with boldness.
32. And the group of those who believed were of one heart and one being. And no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had all in common.
33. And with great power the emissaries gave witness to the resurrection of the Master יהושע, and great favour was upon them all.
34. For there was not anyone needy among them, for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of what was sold,
35. and laid them at the feet of the emissaries, and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
