Acts 4:24-30

Good News Translation

²⁴^(A)When the believers heard it, they all joined together in prayer to God: “Master and Creator of heaven, earth, and sea, and all that is in them! ²⁵^(B)By means of the Holy Spirit you spoke through our ancestor David, your servant, when he said,

‘Why were the Gentiles furious;
    why did people make their useless plots?
²⁶The kings of the earth prepared themselves,
    and the rulers met together
    against the Lord and his Messiah.’

²⁷^(C)For indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together in this city with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Jesus, your holy Servant, whom you made Messiah. ²⁸They gathered to do everything that you by your power and will had already decided would happen. ²⁹And now, Lord, take notice of the threats they have made, and allow us, your servants, to speak your message with all boldness. ³⁰Reach out your hand to heal, and grant that wonders and miracles may be performed through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
