28. They did what your power and plan had already determined would happen.
29. Now, Lord, take note of their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with complete confidence.
30. Stretch out your hand to bring healing and enable signs and wonders to be performed through the name of Jesus, your holy servant."
31. After they prayed, the place where they were gathered was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking God’s word with confidence.
32. The community of believers was one in heart and mind. None of them would say, "This is mine!" about any of their possessions, but held everything in common.
33. The apostles continued to bear powerful witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and an abundance of grace was at work among them all.
34. There were no needy persons among them. Those who owned properties or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds from the sales,
