19 And Peter and John having answered to them, said, If it is just before God to hear you rather than God, judge ye.
20 For we cannot, the things we have seen and heard, not speak.
21 And they having made additional threats, loosed them, finding nothing how they might chastise them, for sake of the people: for all honoured God for that having been done.
22 For the man was more than forty years, upon whom this sign of healing was done.
23 And having been loosed, they came to their own, and announced to them what the chief priests and elders said.
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.
