Then Esther sent for Hathak. He was one of the king’s officials. He had been appointed to take care of her. She ordered him to find out what was troubling Mordecai. She wanted to know why he was so upset.So Hathak went out to see Mordecai. He was in the open area in front of the palace gate.Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him. He told him about the exact amount of money Haman had promised to add to the royal treasures. He said Haman wanted it to be used to pay some men to destroy the Jews.Mordecai also gave Hathak a copy of the order. It commanded people to wipe out the Jews. The order had been sent from Susa. Mordecai told Hathak to show the order to Esther. He wanted Hathak to explain it to her. Mordecai told him to tell her to go and beg the king for mercy. Mordecai wanted her to make an appeal to the king for her people.Hathak went back and reported to Esther what Mordecai had said.Then Esther directed him to give an answer to Mordecai. She told him to say,“ There is a certain law that everyone knows about. All the king’s officials know about it. The people in the royal territories know about it. It applies to any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner courtyard without being sent for. It says they must be put to death. But there is a way out. Suppose the king reaches out his gold scepter toward them. Then their lives will be spared. But 30 days have gone by since the king sent for me.”Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai.Then he sent back an answer. He said,“ You live in the king’s palace. But don’t think that just because you are there you will be the only Jew who will escape.What if you don’t say anything at this time? Then help for the Jews will come from another place. But you and your family will die. Who knows? It’s possible that you became queen for a time just like this.”Then Esther sent a reply to Mordecai. She said,“ Go. Gather together all the Jews who are in Susa. And fast for my benefit. Don’t eat or drink anything for three days. Don’t do it night or day. I and my attendants will fast just as you do. Then I’ll go to the king. I’ll do it even though it’s against the law. And if I have to die, I’ll die.”So Mordecai went away. He carried out all Esther’s directions.

Acts 4:23-33
Peter and John were allowed to leave. They went back to their own people. They reported everything the chief priests and the elders had said to them.The believers heard this. Then they raised their voices together in prayer to God.“ Lord and King,” they said,“ you made the heavens, the earth and the sea. You made everything in them.Long ago you spoke by the Holy Spirit. You spoke through the mouth of our father David, who served you. You said,“‘ Why are the nations angry? Why do the people make useless plans?The kings of the earth rise up. The rulers of the earth gather together against the Lord and against his anointed king.’( Psalm 2:1, 2)In fact, Herod and Pontius Pilate met with the Gentiles in this city. They also met with the people of Israel. All of them made plans against your holy servant Jesus. He is the one you anointed.They did what your power and purpose had already decided should happen.Now, Lord, consider the bad things they say they are going to do. Help us to be very bold when we speak your word.Stretch out your hand to heal. Do signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. They were bold when they spoke God’s word.All the believers were agreed in heart and mind. They didn’t claim that anything they had was their own. Instead, they shared everything they owned.With great power the apostles continued their teaching. They were telling people that the Lord Jesus had risen from the dead. And God’s grace was working powerfully in all of them.

Luke 24:14-31
They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.As they talked about those things, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them.But God kept them from recognizing him.Jesus asked them,“ What are you talking about as you walk along?” They stood still, and their faces were sad.One of them was named Cleopas. He said to Jesus,“ Are you the only person visiting Jerusalem who doesn’t know? Don’t you know about the things that have happened there in the last few days?”“ What things?” Jesus asked.“ About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.“ He was a prophet. He was powerful in what he said and did in the sight of God and all the people.The chief priests and our rulers handed Jesus over to be sentenced to death. They nailed him to a cross.But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to set Israel free. Also, it is the third day since all this happened.Some of our women amazed us too. Early this morning they went to the tomb.But they didn’t find his body. So they came and told us what they had seen. They saw angels, who said Jesus was alive.Then some of our friends went to the tomb. They saw it was empty, just as the women had said. They didn’t see Jesus’ body there.”Jesus said to them,“ How foolish you are! How long it takes you to believe all that the prophets said!Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer these things and then receive his glory?”Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures. He began with Moses and all the Prophets.They approached the village where they were going. Jesus kept walking as if he were going farther.But they tried hard to keep him from leaving. They said,“ Stay with us. It is nearly evening. The day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.He joined them at the table. Then he took bread and gave thanks. He broke it and began to give it to them.Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. But then he disappeared from their sight.
