The believers ask God for power

Acts 4:23–31

4:23 The believers ask God for power

23 After Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) and Yohan (John; Grk. Yoannes) had been released, they went to their own group and told them what the chief priests and elders had said. 24 When they all heard this, they began to pray out loud to God, saying, “Yahweh, you created heaven and earth and the sea, and everything in them.[ref] 25 You spoke long ago by the holy spirit through our ancestor who was your servant, David, when you said,

‘Why are the other nations angry and why have their peoples tried new ideas?”

26 The earthly kings and rulers stood and worked together against Yahweh and against his messiah.’[ref]

27 And indeed Herodes (Herod)[ref] and Pontios Pilatos (Pilate)[ref] met with the pagan Romaios and the peoples of Yisrael (Israel) to conspire against your holy servant Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) who you chose. 28 Then they did exactly what your power and plan had already decided would happen. 29 So now, Yahweh, see their threats and help us, your slaves, to be able to proclaim your message with boldness. 30 Let us experience your power to heal and do miracles and things that confirm the scriptures by means of the name and authority of your holy servant, Yeshua.”

31 As they finished their requests, the place where they had met was shaken and all of them were filled with the holy spirit, and they went out and boldly proclaimed God’s message.

Luk 23:7-11:

7 and when he discovered that he was from King Herodes’s (Herod’s) jurisdiction, he sent him across to Herodes as he also happened to be in Yerushalem (Jerusalem) at that time. 8 Herodes was very pleased when he saw Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) being brought in because he’d been wanting to see him for quite some time because of everything he’d heard about him. He was hoping to see Yeshua do a miracle in front of his eyes 9 and asked him lots of questions, but Yeshua didn’t answer any of them. 10 Meanwhile the chief priests and the religious teachers were standing there loudly making many accusations against him. 11 Then Herodes and his soldiers also insulted and mocked Yeshua, and dressing him in posh clothes, Herodes sent him back to Pilatos.
