Acts 4:25-27
Contemporary English Version

25 (A) And by the Holy Spirit you spoke to our ancestor David. He was your servant, and you told him to say:

“Why are all the Gentiles
    so furious?
Why do people
    make foolish plans?
26 The kings of earth
    prepare for war,
and the rulers
    join together
against the Lord
    and his Messiah.”

27 (B) Here in Jerusalem, Herod[a] and Pontius Pilate got together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel. Then they turned against your holy Servant[b] Jesus, your chosen Messiah.
