And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness,
In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
