  • World English Bible [WEB]
American Standard Version [ASV] King James Version [KJV] Webster's Bible [WB] World English Bible [WEB]
  • 21 When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
  • 22 But the officers who came didn't find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
  • 23 "We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!"
  • 24 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
  • 25 One came and told them, "Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people."
  • 26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
  • 27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
  • 28 saying, "Didn't we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us."
  • 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men.
  • 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

  • 21 And when they heard [this], they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought.
  • 22 But the officers that came found them not in the prison; and they returned, and told,
  • 23 saying, The prison-house we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
  • 24 Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow.
  • 25 And there came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people.
  • 26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, [but] without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
  • 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,

What is the Sinner's Prayer for Salvation?

The sinners prayer is a common Christian term for a prayer that is said when someone wants to repent of their sin, ask God for forgiveness, and verbally state their belief in the life, death, and saving resurrection of Jesus Christ.

"For, if with your lips you acknowledge the truth of the message that JESUS IS LORD, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with their hearts people believe and so attain to righteousness, while with their lips they make their Profession of faith and so find salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Christ's death on the cross paid in full the debt of our sin. Action must be taken to take hold of the gift.

Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and there is nothing that I can do to save myself. I confess my complete helplessness to forgive my own sin or to work my way to heaven through any good works. At this moment I trust Christ alone and receive by faith all Grace purchased by Jesus as the One who bore my sin when He died on the cross. I believe that He did all that will ever be necessary for me to stand in your holy presence. I thank you that Christ was raised from the dead as a guarantee of my own resurrection. As best as I can, I now transfer my trust to Him and by my faith take hold of His grace and love for me. I am grateful that He has promised to receive me despite my many sins and failures. Thank you for your word that will guide me as to how I should live my remaining days. Please grant me the wisdom to discern correctly and motivation to grow my faith, obedience, understanding, appreciation, and love for you. Thank you for your Grace and mercy that I do not deserve. Thank you that my salvation is not based on my level of performance in my short life but in my receiving what your victory on the cross did pay for. Thank you that I can receive by my faith alone, your glorious gift of salvation. Thank you for hearing this prayer and for saving me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
