*
And being let go ,
they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them .
*
So when they heard that ,
they raised their voice to God with one accord and said : "
Lord ,
You are God ,
who made heaven and earth and the sea ,
and all that is in them ,
*
who by the mouth of Your servant David have said : "
Why did the nations rage ,
And the people plot vain things ?
*
The kings of the earth took their stand ,
And the rulers were gathered together Against the LORD and against His Christ .'
* "
For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus ,
whom You anointed ,
both Herod and Pontius Pilate ,
with the Gentiles and the people of Israel ,
were gathered together
*
to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done .
*
Now ,
Lord ,
look on their threats ,
and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word ,
*
by stretching out Your hand to heal ,
and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus ."
*
And when they had prayed ,
the place where they were assembled together was shaken ;
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit ,
and they spoke the word of God with boldness .
*
Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul ;
neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own ,
but they had all things in common .
*
And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus .
And great grace was upon them all .
*
Nor was there anyone among them who lacked ;
for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them ,
and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold ,
*
and laid them at the apostles '
feet ;
and they distributed to each as anyone had need .
*
And Joses ,
who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (
which is translated Son of Encouragement ),
a Levite of the country of Cyprus ,
*
having land ,
sold it ,
and brought the money and laid it at the apostles '
feet .
