After they were released, they went to their own people and reported everything the chief priests and the elders had said to them.When they heard this, they all raised their voices to God and said,“ Master, You are the One who made the heaven, the earth, and the sea, and everything in them.You said through the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David Your servant: Why did the Gentiles rage and the peoples plot futile things?The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers assembled together against the Lord and against His Messiah.“ For, in fact, in this city both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, assembled together against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed,to do whatever Your hand and Your plan had predestined to take place.And now, Lord, consider their threats, and grant that Your slaves may speak Your message with complete boldness,while You stretch out Your hand for healing, signs, and wonders to be performed through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”When they had prayed, the place where they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak God’s message with boldness.

But I will show you the One to fear: Fear Him who has authority to throw people into hell after death. Yes, I say to you, this is the One to fear!Aren’t five sparrows sold for two pennies?

2 Corinthians 1 3-2 Corinthians 1 7
Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God.For as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so through Christ our comfort also overflows.If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is experienced in your endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.And our hope for you is firm, because we know that as you share in the sufferings, so you will share in the comfort.
