Passage

Jonah 2 (ESV)

Jonah 2:1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish,
Jonah 2:2 saying, “I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.
Jonah 2:3 For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.
Jonah 2:4 Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’
Jonah 2:5 The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head
Jonah 2:6 at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.
Jonah 2:7 When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.
Jonah 2:8 Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.
Jonah 2:9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord!”
Jonah 2:10 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.

Acts 4:23-31 - Jon B

Acts 4:23–31 (ESV)

Acts 4:23 When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

Acts 4:24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them,

Acts 4:25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit, “ ‘Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples plot in vain?

Acts 4:26 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed’—

Acts 4:27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

Acts 4:28 to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.

Acts 4:29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness,

Acts 4:30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

Acts 4:31 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.
