24 And they, having heard, lifted up the voice unanimously to God, and said, Sovereign, thou God having made heaven, and earth, and sea, and all things which in them: 25 Having said by the mouth of David thy servant, That why were the nations insolent, and did the people practise vain things. 26 Kings of the earth stood up, and rulers were gathered together upon one and the same, against the Lord, and against his Christ. 27 For against the truth were they gathered together against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the nations and peoples of Israel, 28 To do what thy hands and thy counsel predestinated to be. 29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats: and give to thy servants, with all freedom of speech to speak thy word, 30 In thy stretching out thy hand for healing; and signs and wonders to be for the name of thine holy child Jesus. 31 And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spake the word of God with freedom of speech. 32 And the heart and soul of the multitude of them believing were one: and not one said any of the things being to him to be his own; but all were common to them. 33 And in great power the sent gave back testimony of the rising up of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 For neither was any in want among them: for as many as were possessors of farms or houses, selling, brought the prices of things sold, 35 And laid down at the feet of the sent: and it was distributed to each as any had need. 36 And Joses, surnamed Barnabas by the sent, (which is interpreted, Son of consolation,) a Levite, a Cyprian by birth, 37 A field being to him having sold, he brought the money and laid at the feet of the sent.
