24 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 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?
26 The kings of the earth prepared themselves,and the rulers met togetheragainst the Lord and his Messiah.’
27 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.
28 They gathered to do everything that you by your power and will had already decided would happen.
29 And now, Lord, take notice of the threats they have made, and allow us, your servants, to speak your message with all boldness.
30 Stretch out your hand to heal, and grant that wonders and miracles may be performed through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
