Verse
Acts - ch 4 v 21 - 37
- And they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done.
- For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought.
- And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto them.
- And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:
- who by the Holy Spirit, `by' the mouth of our father David thy servant, didst say, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples imagine vain things?
- The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed:
- for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,
- to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass.
- And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness,
- while thy stretchest forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant Jesus.
- And when they had prayed, the place was shaken wherein they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
- And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul: and not one `of them' said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
- And with great power gave the apostles their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
- For neither was there among them any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
- and laid them at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need.
- And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of exhortation), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
- having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
