On their releaseG630, Peter and John returnedG2064 toG4314 their own peopleG2398 andG2532 reportedG518 everything thatG3745 theG3588 chief priestsG749 andG2532 eldersG4245 had saidG2036 toG4314 themG846. 24When the believers heard thisG191, they lifted upG142 their voicesG5456 toG4314 GodG2316 with one accordG3661. “Sovereign LordG1203,” they saidG2036, “YouG4771 madeG4160 theG3588 heavenG3772 andG2532 theG3588 earthG1093 andG2532 theG3588 seaG2281 andG2532 everythingG3956 inG1722 themG846. 25You spokeG2036 byG1223 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 through the mouthG4750 of YourG4771 servantG3816,1 ourG1473 fatherG3962 DavidG1138:

InG1909 factG225, thisG3778 is theG3588 very cityG4172 where HerodG2264 andG5037G2532 PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 conspiredG4863 withG4862 the GentilesG1484 andG2532 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474 againstG1909 YourG4771 holyG40 servantG3816 JesusG2424, whomG3739 You anointedG5548. 28They carried outG4160 whatG3745 YourG4771 handG5495 andG2532 willG1012 had decided beforehandG4309 would happenG1096. 29AndG2532 nowG3568, LordG2962, considerG1896G1909 theirG846 threatsG547, andG2532 enableG1325 YourG4771 servantsG1401 to speakG2980 YourG4771 wordG3056 withG3326 completeG3956 boldnessG3954, 30asG1722G3588 YouG4771 stretch outG1614 YourG4771 handG5495 toG1519 healG2392 andG2532 perform signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 throughG1223 theG3588 nameG3686 of YourG4771 holyG40 servantG3816 JesusG2424.”

31After theyG846 had prayedG1189, their meetingG4863 placeG5117G1722G3739 was shakenG4531, andG2532 they were all filled withG537G4130 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 andG2532 spokeG2980 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316 boldlyG3326G3954.

TheG3588 multitudeG4128 ofG3588 believersG4100 wasG1510 oneG1520 in heartG2588 andG2532 soulG5590. NoG3761 oneG1520 claimed thatG2036 anyG5100 ofG3588 hisG846 possessionsG5225 wasG1510 his ownG2398, butG235 they sharedG1510G846G2839 everything they ownedG3956. 33With greatG3173 powerG1411 theG3588 apostlesG652 continued to giveG591 their testimonyG3142 about theG3588 resurrectionG386 of theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424. AndG5037 abundantG3173 graceG5485 wasG1510 uponG1909 themG846 allG3956.

There wereG1510 noG3761 needyG1729 onesG5100 amongG1722 themG846, becauseG1063 those whoG3745 ownedG5225G2935 landsG5564 orG2228 housesG3614 would sellG4453 their property, bringG5342 theG3588 proceedsG5092 fromG3588 the salesG4097, 35andG2532 layG5087 them atG3844 theG3588 apostlesG3588G652’ feetG4228 for distributionG1239 to anyoneG5100 asG2530G302 he hadG2192 needG5532.
