The believers ask God for power

Acts 4:23–31

4:23 The believers ask God for power

23After Peter and Yohan had been released, they went to their own group and told them what the chief priests and elders had said. 24[ref]When they all heard this, they began to pray out loud to God, saying, “Master, you created heaven and earth and the sea, and everything in them. 25[ref]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?”

26The earthly kings and rulers stood and worked together against the master and against his messiah.’

27[ref]And indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met with the pagan Romans and the peoples of Israel to conspire against your holy servant Yeshua who you chose. 28Then they did exactly what your power and plan had already decided would happen. 29So now, master, see their threats and help us, your slaves, to be able to proclaim your message with boldness. 30Let 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.”

31As 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.

7and when he discovered that he was from King Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him across to Herod as he also happened to be in Yerushalem at that time. 8Herod was very pleased when he saw Yeshua 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 9and asked him lots of questions, but Yeshua didn’t answer any of them. 10Meanwhile the chief priests and the religious teachers were standing there loudly making many accusations against him. 11Then Herod and his soldiers also insulted and mocked Yeshua, and dressing him in posh clothes, Herod sent him back to Pilate.

28Then they led Yeshua out from Caiaphas’ place and towards the residence of the governor. It was now the early hours of the morning and as Jews, they didn’t enter the residence of the Roman governor so they wouldn’t become defiled and thus unable to eat the Passover meal. 29So Governor Pilate came outside to them and asked, “What charge are you all bringing against this man?”
