25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did 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 thy 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 thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. |
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, |
30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. |
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. |
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. |
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. |
34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, |
35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. |
36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, |
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet. |
