Prayer for Boldness
23 And being let go, Acts 2:44–46; 12:12they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: "Lord, Ex. 20:11; 2 Kin. 19:15; Neh. 9:6; Ps. 146:6You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them,
29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants Acts 4:13, 31; 9:27; 13:46; 14:3; 19:8; 26:26; Eph. 6:19that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, Acts 2:43; 5:12and that signs and wonders may be done Acts 3:6, 16through the name of Acts 4:27Your holy Servant Jesus."
31 And when they had prayed, Matt. 5:6; Acts 2:2, 4; 16:26the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, Acts 4:29and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
