Acts 4:23-31
Legacy Standard Bible
23 So when they were released, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God with one accord and said, “O Master, it is You who (A)made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who (B)by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David Your servant, said,
‘(C)Why did the [a]Gentiles rage,
And the peoples devise vain things?
26 (D)The kings of the earth [b]took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the Lord and against His [c](E)Christ.’
27 For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy [d](F)Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both (G)Herod and (H)Pontius Pilate, along with (I)the [e]Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever Your hand and (J)Your purpose predestined to occur. 29 And [f]now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your slaves may (K)speak Your word with all (L)confidence, 30 while You extend Your hand to heal, and [g](M)signs and wonders happen through the name of Your holy [h](N)Servant Jesus.” 31 And when they had prayed earnestly, the (O)place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all (P)filled with the Holy Spirit and began to (Q)speak the word of God with (R)confidence.

New International Version
The Believers Pray
23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God.(A) “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.(B) 25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David:(C)
“‘Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord
and against his anointed one.[a]’[b](D)
27 Indeed Herod(E) and Pontius Pilate(F) met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus,(G) whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen.(H) 29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.(I) 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders(J) through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”(K)
31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken.(L) And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit(M) and spoke the word of God(N) boldly.(O)
