Acts 4:24-30

English Standard Version

²⁴And when they heard it, they lifted their voices ^(A)together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, ^(B)who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, ²⁵who through the mouth of our father David, your servant,^[a] said by the Holy Spirit,

^(C)“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
    and the peoples plot in vain?
²⁶The kings of the earth set themselves,
    and ^(D)the rulers were gathered together,
    against the Lord and against his ^(E)Anointed’^[b]—

²⁷for truly in this city there were gathered together against your ^(F)holy servant Jesus, ^(G)whom you anointed, both ^(H)Herod and ^(I)Pontius Pilate, along ^(J)with the Gentiles and ^(K)the peoples of Israel, ²⁸^(L)to do whatever your hand and ^(M)your plan had predestined to take place. ²⁹And now, Lord, ^(N)look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all ^(O)boldness, ³⁰while ^(P)you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed ^(Q)through the name of your ^(R)holy servant Jesus.”
