Acts 12:24

And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
