'For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done' — the Jerusalem church's prayer acknowledges that Herod, Pontius Pilate, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel's actions against Jesus were gathered together under divine sovereign purpose. The verse is the sharpest New Testament statement of the compatibility of human moral responsibility and divine foreordination: those who crucified Christ were both genuinely guilty and instruments of God's predetermined plan. Calvin and Reformed theologians have cited this verse as a definitive statement of the concurrence doctrine — that human acts, even sinful ones, serve God's larger purposes without God being their author.
