Dan. 6:10‑28• 10And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and, his windows being open in his upper chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
11But those men came in a body, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
12Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree: Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask anything of any god or man within thirty days, except of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.
13Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
14Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore distressed thereby, and set his heart on Daniel to save him; and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
15Then these men came in a body unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
16Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will save thee.
17And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his nobles, that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
18Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were concubines brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
19Then the king arose with the light at break of day, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
20And when he came near unto the den, he cried with a mournful voice unto Daniel: the king spoke and said unto Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God whom thou servest continually been able to save thee from the lions?
21Then Daniel spoke unto the king, O king, live for ever!
22My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
23Thereupon was the king exceeding glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
24And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces ere they came to the bottom of the den.
25Then king Darius wrote unto all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
26I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
27He saveth and delivereth, and he worketh signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth: who hath saved Daniel from the power of the lions.
28And this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Acts 4:5‑12,24‑33• 5And it came to pass on the morrow that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together at Jerusalem,
6and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priestly family;
7and having placed them in the midst they inquired, In what power or in what name have *ye* done this?
8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
9if *we* this day are called upon to answer as to the good deed done to the infirm man, how *he* has been healed,
10be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean, whom *ye* have crucified, whom God has raised from among the dead, by *him* this man stands here before you sound in body.
11*He* is the stone which has been set at nought by you the builders, which is become the corner stone.
12And salvation is in none other, for neither is there another name under heaven which is given among men by which we must be saved.
24And they, having heard it, lifted up their voice with one accord to God, and said, Lord, *thou* art the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;
25who hast said by the mouth of thy servant David, Why have the nations raged haughtily and the peoples meditated vain things?
26The kings of the earth were there, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ.
27For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the nations, and peoples of Israel, have been gathered together in this city
28to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel had determined before should come to pass.
29And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and give to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word,
30in that thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and that signs and wonders take place through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.
31And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God with boldness.
32And the heart and soul of the multitude of those that had believed were one, and not one said that anything of what he possessed was his own, but all things were common to them;
33and with great power did the apostles give witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
