^{19 Ref} But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:

^{20 Ref} for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.

^{21 Ref} And they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done.

^{22 Ref} For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought.

^{23 Ref} And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto them.

^{24 Ref} And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:

^{25 Ref} who by the Holy Spirit, `by' the mouth of our father David thy servant, didst say, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples imagine vain things?

^{26 Ref} The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed:

^{27 Ref} for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,

^{28 Ref} to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass.

^{29 Ref} And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness,

^{30 Ref} while thy stretchest forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant Jesus.

^{31 Ref} And when they had prayed, the place was shaken wherein they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
