Acts 12:4

²¹There are many plans in a man’s heart, but the LORD’s counsel will prevail.

^33[+] He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

¹²But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.

³⁶Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”

³⁷Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

³⁸Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.

²⁸to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.

¹⁸Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”

⁵But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”

⁶But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai’s people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even Mordecai’s people.

⁷In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, and chose the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

³They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.

¹Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
