Acts 4:23-31

(Found here)

After their release Peter and John went back to their own people
   and reported what the chief priests and elders had told them.
And when they heard it,
   they raised their voices to God with one accord
   and said, “Sovereign Lord, maker of heaven and earth
   and the sea and all that is in them,
   you said by the Holy Spirit
   through the mouth of our father David, your servant:

   Why did the Gentiles rage
       and the peoples entertain folly?
   The kings of the earth took their stand
       and the princes gathered together
       against the Lord and against his anointed.

Indeed they gathered in this city
   against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed,
   Herod and Pontius Pilate,
   together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,
   to do what your hand and your will had long ago planned to take place.
And now, Lord, take note of their threats,
   and enable your servants to speak your word
   with all boldness, as you stretch forth your hand to heal,
   and signs and wonders are done
   through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
As they prayed, the place where they were gathered shook,
   and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
   and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
