She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came up again.Running over to her, the servant said,“ Please give me a little drink of water from your jug.”“ Yes, my lord,” she answered,“ have a drink.” And she quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and gave him a drink.When she had given him a drink, she said,“ I’ll draw water for your camels, too, until they have had enough to drink.”So she quickly emptied her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw water for all his camels.

Why did they waste their time with futile plans?The kings of the earth prepared for battle; the rulers gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.’“ In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilate the governor, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were all united against Jesus, your holy servant, whom you anointed.But everything they did was determined beforehand according to your will.And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word.Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had.The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all.
