You have made this a better nation.Most excellent Felix, we gladly admit this everywhere and in every way. And we are very thankful.I don’t want to bother you. But would you be kind enough to listen to us for a short time?“ We have found that Paul is a troublemaker. This man stirs up trouble among Jews all over the world.

Why do the nations plan evil together? Why do they make useless plans?The kings of the earth rise up against the Lord. The rulers of the earth join together against his anointed king.“ Let us break free from their chains,” they say.“ Let us throw off their ropes.”The God who sits on his throne in heaven laughs. The Lord makes fun of those rulers and their plans.When he is angry, he warns them. When his anger blazes out, he terrifies them.He says to them,“ I have placed my king on my holy mountain of Zion.”
