Acts 4:24

And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said,. Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:

'WITH ONE ACCORD'-(Acts 1:14; Acts 2:46; Acts 5:12; Acts 7:57; Acts 15:25). It could be that one prayed and all others mentally joined in or said Amen. Or, all 12 apostles by inspiration uttered these words at the same time.

'O LORD' despotes des-pot'-ace; perhaps from 1210 and posis (a husband); an absolute ruler ("despot"): -Lord, master.

-'a term used of. slave owner and of ruler of unchallengeable power. The Sanhedrin might utter warnings, threats and prohibitions, and try to silence the church, but their authority was subject to. higher authority still, and the edicts of men cannot overturn the decrees of God.' (Stott p. 99)

-We should also note that the "Lord" in these verse refers to the Father (Acts 4:27).

'IT IS THOU WHO DIDST MAKE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH'-'First, he is the God of creation' (Stott p. 99). The God revealed in the O.T. is the same as the God revealed in the N.T. (Exodus 2:11; Nehemiah 9:6; Psalms 146:6).
