28to do as much as your power and your plan had decided beforehand would happen. 29And now, Lord, pay attention to their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your message with great courage, while you extend your hand to heal, and to bring about miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 31When they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God courageously. 32The group of those who believed were of one heart and mind, and no one said that any of his possessions was his own, but everything was held in common.
