Prayer for Boldness(A)
23 And being let go, (B)they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, (C)You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who [a]by the mouth of Your servant David have said:
(D)‘Why did the nations rage,
And the people plot vain things?
26 The kings of the earth took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the Lord and against His Christ.’
27 “For (E)truly against (F)Your holy Servant Jesus, (G)whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 (H)to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants (I)that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, (J)and that signs and wonders may be done (K)through the name of (L)Your holy Servant Jesus.”
31 And when they had prayed, (M)the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, (N)and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Sharing in All Things
32 Now the multitude of those who believed (O)were of one heart and one soul; (P)neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with (Q)great power the apostles gave (R)witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And (S)great grace was upon them all.

Esther 4:5-17
New King James Version
5 Then Esther called Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs whom he had appointed to attend her, and she gave him a command concerning Mordecai, to learn what and why this was. 6 So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the city square that was in front of the king’s gate. 7 And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and (A)the sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king’s treasuries to destroy the Jews. 8 He also gave him (B)a copy of the written decree for their destruction, which was given at [a]Shushan, that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her, and that he might command her to go in to the king to make supplication to him and plead before him for her people. 9 So Hathach returned and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a command for Mordecai: 11 “All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that any man or woman who goes into (C)the inner court to the king, who has not been called, (D)he has but one law: put all to death, except the one (E)to whom the king holds out the golden scepter, that he may live. Yet I myself have not been (F)called to go in to the king these thirty days.” 12 So they told Mordecai Esther’s words.
13 And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai: 16 “Go, gather all the Jews who are present in [b]Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for (G)three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; (H)and if I perish, I perish!”
17 So Mordecai went his way and did according to all that Esther commanded [c]him.
