“Who knows but that you have come to a royal position for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14)

“...And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king...” (Esther 4:14-16)

To stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, the rulers, elders, and teachers commanded Peter and John not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. [They had already] seized them and put them in jail.” (Acts 4: 17-19, 3)

“By what power or what name did you do this?” (Acts 4:7b)

Acts 4:1-31

Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him?... As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard…[The believers] raised their voices together in prayer to God…Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.” (Acts 4:19-20, 29-30)

When he came to Jerusalem he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus (Acts 9:26-27).

When [Saul] came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus. So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord (Acts 9:26-28).

All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had (Acts 4:32).
