Acts 4:23-26 King James Version (KJV)
23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and
reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto
them.
24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God
with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made
heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the
heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered
together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
Acts 4:23-26
NHEB 23 Being let go, they came to their own company, and
reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to
them. 24 When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God
with with one accord, and said, "Sovereign Lord, it is you who
made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them; 25
who by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of your servant,
David, said, 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a
vain thing? 26 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the
rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his
Messiah.'
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
23 The left and first went to the people who were concerned
about them to let them know they were out, we should let people
who care about know who the Lord works thru us and help us. They
did not see the report as a reason to stop but more of a need to
trust fully in the Lord and He would provide more faith for
them.
24 They did not get scared because of the Pharisees but
continued to praise the Lord, if the Pharisees only knew what
they were doing by letting them go, but if they truly knew what
they were doing they would have turned to God because of their
actions. In times of trouble and concern we should still give
praise to the Lord.
25 This is from Psalms. This may here fulfill scripture or they
be seeing it as they saying this because they have the scripture
on their hearts because of their faith in Him. The world is
against them today the world still hates true Christianity
because it goes against their self will and teaches submission
to the Lord. The world has plotted many times to remove
Christians this plan started with trying to remove Christ then
the disciples all these plans would fail the plotters would go
away but Christianity still stands strong today strong by Him.
26 The world may be against us but we have Christ on our side we
are on the winning side and there is no one that can stand
against us truly with Him on our side, He will be permitted to
serve His will if we follow Him.
