Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:15 - and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:16 - saying, 'What shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem is manifest, and we are not able to deny it;

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:25 - who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:26 - the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ;

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:34 - for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the thing sold,
