No wisdom, wise saying or plan can succeed against the Lord.

Come. We must deal with them carefully. If we don’t, there will be even more of them. Then if war breaks out, they’ll join our enemies. They’ll fight against us and leave the country.”

Peter and John were allowed to leave. They went back to their own people. They reported everything the chief priests and the elders had said to them.The believers heard this. Then they raised their voices together in prayer to God.“ Lord and King,” they said,“ you made the heavens, the earth and the sea. You made everything in them.Long ago you spoke by the Holy Spirit. You spoke through the mouth of our father David, who served you. You said,“‘ Why are the nations angry? Why do the people make useless plans?The kings of the earth rise up. The rulers of the earth gather together against the Lord and against his anointed king.’( Psalm 2:1, 2)In fact, Herod and Pontius Pilate met with the Gentiles in this city. They also met with the people of Israel. All of them made plans against your holy servant Jesus. He is the one you anointed.They did what your power and purpose had already decided should happen.

Make your battle plans! But you won’t succeed. Give your orders! But they won’t be carried out. That’s because God is with us.

How terrible it will be for people who try hard to hide their plans from the Lord! They do their work in darkness. They think,“ Who sees us? Who will know?”

It was early in the morning. All the chief priests and the elders of the people planned how to put Jesus to death.

Sinful people make plans to harm those who do what is right. They grind their teeth at them.But the Lord laughs at those who do evil. He knows the day is coming when he will judge them.

The kings of the earth rise up against the Lord. The rulers of the earth join together against his anointed king.
