4:24 When they heard this, they raised their voices to God with one mind 1  and said, “Master of all, 2  you who made the heaven, the earth, 3  the sea, and everything that is in them,

1 sn With one mind. Compare Acts 1:14.

2 tn Or “Lord of all.”

3 tn Grk “and the earth, and the sea,” but καί (kai) has not been translated before “the earth” and “the sea” since contemporary English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
