Acts 4:13-31

Acts 4:13-31

[13] Now  when they saw  the boldness  of Peter  and  John,  and  perceived  that  unlearned  and  ignorant  men,  they marvelled;  and  they took knowledge  of them,  that  with  Jesus.  [14] beholding  the man  which was healed  standing  with  them,  they could  nothing  [15] But  when they had commanded  them  to go aside  out of  the council,  they conferred  among  themselves,  [16] Saying,  What  shall we do  men?  for  that  indeed  a notable  miracle  hath been done  by  them  is manifest  to all them  that dwell  in Jerusalem;  and  we cannot  deny  [17] But  it spread  further  among  the people,  threaten  them,  that they speak  henceforth  to no  man  in  name.  [18] And  they called  them,  and commanded  them  not  to speak  at all  nor  teach  in  the name  of Jesus.  [19] But  Peter  and  John  answered  and said  unto  them,  Whether  right  in the sight  of God  to hearken  more than  unto God,  judge ye.  [20] For  cannot  but  speak  the things which  and  heard.  [21] So  when they had further threatened them,  them  go,  finding  nothing  how  they might punish  them,  because  of the people:  for  all  men glorified  God  for  that which was done.  [22] For  the man  above  forty  years old,  on  whom  miracle  of healing  was shewed.  [23] And  being let go,  they went  to  their own company,  and  reported  all  that the chief priests  and  elders  had said  unto  them.  [24] And  when they heard that,  they lifted up  their voice  to  God  with one accord,  and  said,  Lord,  thou  art God,  which  hast made  heaven,  and  earth,  and  the sea,  and  all  that in  them is:  [25] Who  by  the mouth  servant  David  hast said,  the heathen  rage,  and  the people  imagine  vain things?  [26] The kings  of the earth  stood up,  and  the rulers  were gathered  together  against  the Lord,  and  against  his  Christ.  [27] For  of  a truth  against  holy  child  Jesus,  whom  thou hast anointed,  both  Herod,  and  Pontius  Pilate,  with  the Gentiles,  and  the people  of Israel,  were gathered together,  [28] For to do  whatsoever  hand  and  counsel  determined before  to be done.  [29] And  Lord,  behold  their  threatenings:  and  grant unto  servants,  that with  all  boldness  they may speak  word,  [30] By  stretching forth  hand  to  heal;  and  that signs  and  wonders  may be done  by  the name  holy  child  Jesus.  [31] And  when they  had prayed,  the place  was shaken  where  assembled together;  and  all  filled  with the Holy  Ghost,  and  they spake  the word  of God  with  boldness.
