1 # And <1161> as they <846> spake <2980> (5723) unto <4314> the people <2992>, the priests <2409> , and <2532> the captain <4755> of the temple <2411>, and <2532> the Sadducees <4523>, came upon <2186> (5627) them <846>,
2 Being grieved <1278> (5740) that <1223> they <846> taught <1321> (5721) the people <2992> , and <2532> preached <2605> (5721) through <1722> Jesus <2424> the resurrection <386> from <1537> the dead <3498>.
3 And <2532> they laid <1911> (5627) hands <5495> on them <846>, and <2532> put <5087> (5639) them in <1519> hold <5084> unto <1519> the next day <839>: for <1063> it was <2258> (5713) now <2235> eventide <2073>.
4 Howbeit <1161> many <4183> of them which heard <191> (5660) the word <3056> believed <4100> (5656); and <2532> the number <706> of the men <435> was <1096> (5675) about <5616> five <4002> thousand <5505>.
5 # And <1161> it came to pass <1096> (5633) on <1909> the morrow <839>, that their <846> rulers <758>, and <2532> elders <4245>, and <2532> scribes <1122>,
6 And <2532> Annas <452> the high priest <749>, and <2532> Caiaphas <2533>, and <2532> John <2491> , and <2532> Alexander <223>, and <2532> as many as <3745> were <2258> (5713) of <1537> the kindred <1085> of the high priest <748>, were gathered together <4863> (5683) at <1519> Jerusalem <2419>.
7 And <2532> when they had set <2476> (5660) them <846> in <1722> the midst <3319>, they asked <4441> (5711), By <1722> what <4169> power <1411>, or <2228> by <1722> what <4169> name <3686> , have <4160> <0> ye <5210> done <4160> (5656) this <5124>?
8 Then <5119> Peter <4074>, filled <4130> (5685) with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> them <846>, Ye rulers <758> of the people <2992>, and <2532> elders <4245> of Israel <2474>,
 - FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT
9 If <1487> we <2249> this day <4594> be examined <350> (5743) of <1909> the good deed done <2108> to the impotent <772> man <444>, by <1722> what means <5101> he <3778> is made whole <4982> (5769);
10 Be it <2077> (5749) known <1110> unto you <5213> all <3956>, and <2532> to all <3956> the people <2992> of Israel <2474>, that <3754> by <1722> the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> of Nazareth <3480>, whom <3739> ye <5210> crucified <4717> (5656), whom <3739> God <2316> raised <1453> (5656) from <1537> the dead <3498>, even by <1722> him <5129> doth <3936> <0> this man <3778> stand here <3936> (5758) before <1799> you <5216> whole <5199>.
11 This <3778> is <2076> (5748) the stone <3037> which <3588> was set at nought <1848> (5685) of <5259> you <5216> builders <3618> (5723), which <3588> is become <1096> (5637) the head <2776> of <1519> the corner <1137>.
12 Neither <2532> <3756> is there <2076> (5748) salvation <4991> in <1722> any <3762> other <243>: for <1063> there is <2076> (5748) none <3777> other <2087> name <3686> under <5259> heaven <3772> given <1325> (5772) among <1722> men <444>, whereby <1722> <3739> we <2248> must <1163> (5748) be saved <4982> (5683).
13 Now <1161> when they saw <2334> (5723) the boldness <3954> of Peter <4074> and <2532> John <2491>, and <2532> perceived <2638> (5642) that <3754> they were <1526> (5748) unlearned <62> and <2532> ignorant <2399> men <444>, they marvelled <2296> (5707); and <5037> they took knowledge <1921> (5707) of them <846>, that <3754> they had been <2258> (5713) with <4862> Jesus <2424>.
14 And <1161> beholding <991> (5723) the man <444> which was healed <2323> (5772) standing <2476> (5761) with <4862> them <846>, they could <2192> (5707) say <471> <0> nothing <3762> against it <471> (5629).
15 # But <1161> when they had commanded <2753> (5660) them <846> to go aside <565> (5629) out of <1854> the council <4892>, they conferred <4820> (5627) among <4314> themselves <240>,
16 Saying <3004> (5723), What <5101> shall we do <4160> (5692) to these <5125> men <444> ? for <1063> that <3754> indeed <3303> a notable <1110> miracle <4592> hath been done <1096> (5754) by <1223> them <846> is manifest <5318> to all them <3956> that dwell <2730> (5723) in Jerusalem <2419>; and <2532> we cannot <3756> <1410> (5736) deny <720> (5664) it.
17 But <235> that <3363> <0> it spread <1268> (5686) no <3363> further <1909> <4119> among <1519> the people <2992>, let us straitly <547> threaten <546> (5672) them <846>, that they speak <2980> (5721) henceforth <3371> to no <3367> man <444> in <1909> this <5129> name <3686>.
18 And <2532> they called <2564> (5660) them <846>, and commanded <3853> (5656) them <846> not <3361> to speak <5350> (5738) at all <2527> nor <3366> teach <1321> (5721) in <1909> the name <3686> of Jesus <2424>.
 - TEACHING OFFICE
19 But <1161> Peter <4074> and <2532> John <2491> answered <611> (5679) and said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> them <846>, Whether <1487> it be <2076> (5748) right <1342> in the sight <1799> of God <2316> to hearken <191> (5721) unto you <5216> more than <3123> <2228> unto God <2316>, judge ye <2919> (5657).
20 For <1063> we <2249> cannot <3756> <1410> (5736) but <3361> speak <2980> (5721) the things which <3739> we have seen <1492> (5627) and <2532> heard <191> (5656).
21 So <1161> when they had further threatened them <4324> (5671), they let <630> <0> them <846> go <630> (5656), finding <2147> (5723) nothing <3367> how <4459> they might punish <2849> (5672) them <846>, because <1223> of the people <2992>: for <3754> all <3956> men glorified <1392> (5707) God <2316> for <1909> that which was done <1096> (5756).
22 For <1063> the man <444> was <2258> (5713) above <4119> forty <5062> years old <2094> , on <1909> whom <3739> this <5124> miracle <4592> of healing <2392> was shewed <1096> (5715).
23 # And <1161> being let go <630> (5685), they went <2064> (5627) to <4314> their own company <2398>, and <2532> reported <518> (5656) all <3745> that the chief priests <749> and <2532> elders <4245> had said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> them <846>.
24 And <1161> when they heard that <191> (5660), they lifted up <142> (5656) their voice <5456> to <4314> God <2316> with one accord <3661>, and <2532> said <2036> (5627), Lord <1203>, thou <4771> art God <2316>, which <3588> hast made <4160> (5660) heaven <3772>, and <2532> earth <1093>, and <2532> the sea <2281>, and <2532> all <3956> that in <1722> them is <846>:
25 Who <3588> by <1223> the mouth <4750> of thy <4675> servant <3816> David <1138> hast said <2036> (5631), Why <2444> did <5433> <0> the heathen <1484> rage <5433> (5656), and <2532> the people <2992> imagine <3191> (5656) vain things <2756>?
26 The kings <935> of the earth <1093> stood up <3936> (5656), and <2532> the rulers <758> were gathered <4863> (5681) together <1909> <846> against <2596> the Lord <2962>, and <2532> against <2596> his <846> Christ <5547>.
27 For <1063> of <1909> a truth <225> against <1909> thy <4675> holy <40> child <3816> Jesus <2424>, whom <3739> thou hast anointed <5548> (5656), both <5037> Herod <2264>, and <2532> Pontius <4194> Pilate <4091>, with <4862> the Gentiles <1484>, and <2532> the people <2992> of Israel <2474>, were gathered together <4863> (5681),
28 For to do <4160> (5658) whatsoever <3745> thy <4675> hand <5495> and <2532> thy <4675> counsel <1012> determined before <4309> (5656) to be done <1096> (5635).
29 And <2532> now <3569>, Lord <2962>, behold <1896> (5628) <1909> their <846> threatenings <547>: and <2532> grant unto <1325> (5628) thy <4675> servants <1401>, that with <3326> all <3956> boldness <3954> they may speak <2980> (5721) thy <4675> word <3056>,
30 By <1722> <4571> stretching forth <1614> (5721) thine <4675> hand <5495> to <1519> heal <2392>; and <2532> that signs <4592> and <2532> wonders <5059> may be done <1096> (5738) by <1223> the name <3686> of thy <4675> holy <40> child <3816> Jesus <2424>.
31 And <2532> when they <846> had prayed <1189> (5679), the place <5117> was shaken <4531> (5681) where <1722> <3739> they were <2258> (5713) assembled together <4863> (5772); and <2532> they were <4130> <0> all <537> filled <4130> (5681) with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, and <2532> they spake <2980> (5707) the word <3056> of God <2316> with <3326> boldness <3954>.
This is the power that comes when a group of believers pray as one.
The infilling of the Holy Spirit results in boldness.

32 # And <1161> the multitude <4128> of them that believed <4100> (5660) were <2258> (5713) of one heart <2588> and <2532> of one <3391> soul <5590>: neither <2532> <3761> said <3004> (5707) any <1520> of them that ought <5100> of the things which he <846> possessed <5224> (5723) was <1511> (5750) his own <2398>; but <235> they <846> had <2258> (5713) all things <537> common <2839>.
They lived s covenant relationship - what’s mine is yours.

33 And <2532> with great <3173> power <1411> gave <591> (5707) the apostles <652> witness <3142> of the resurrection <386> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>: and <5037> great <3173> grace <5485> was <2258> (5713) upon <1909> them <846> all <3956>.
34 Neither <3761> <1063> was <5225> (5707) there any <5100> among <1722> them <846> that lacked <1729>: for <1063> as many as <3745> were <5225> (5707) possessors <2935> of lands <5564> or <2228> houses <3614> sold them <4453> (5723), and brought <5342> (5707) the prices <5092> of the things that were sold <4097> (5746),
35 And <2532> laid them down <5087> (5707) at <3844> the apostles <652>' feet <4228>: and <1161> distribution was made <1239> (5712) unto every man <1538> according <2530> as <302> he had <2192> (5707) need <5100> <5532>.
36 And <1161> Joses <2500>, who <3588> by <5259> the apostles <652> was surnamed <1941> (5685) Barnabas <921>, (which <3739> is <2076> (5748), being interpreted <3177> (5746), The son <5207> of consolation <3874>,) a Levite <3019>, and of the country <1085> of Cyprus <2953>,
37 Having <5225> (5723) <846> land <68>, sold <4453> (5660) it, and brought <5342> (5656) the money <5536>, and <2532> laid <5087> (5656) it at <3844> the apostles <652>' feet <4228> .
