- 1And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,Λαλούντων δὲ αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ἐπέστησαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ⸀ἱερεῖς καὶ ὁ στρατηγὸς τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ οἱ Σαδδουκαῖοι
- 2Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.διὰ τὸ διδάσκειν αὐτοὺς τὸν λαὸν καὶ καταγγέλλειν ἐν τῷ Ἰησοῦ τὴν ἀνάστασιν ⸂τὴν ἐκ⸃ νεκρῶν
- 3And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.καὶ ἐπέβαλον αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ ἔθεντο εἰς τήρησιν εἰς τὴν αὔριον ἦν γὰρ ἑσπέρα ἤδη
- 4Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.πολλοὶ δὲ τῶν ἀκουσάντων τὸν λόγον ἐπίστευσαν καὶ ἐγενήθη ⸀ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ⸀ὡς χιλιάδες πέντε
- 5And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν αὔριον συναχθῆναι αὐτῶν τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ ⸀τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ ⸁τοὺς γραμματεῖς ⸀ἐν
- 6And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.καὶ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ Καϊάφας καὶ Ἰωάννης καὶ Ἀλέξανδρος⸃ καὶ ὅσοι ἦσαν ἐκ γένους ἀρχιερατικοῦ
- 7And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?καὶ στήσαντες αὐτοὺς ἐν ⸀τῷ μέσῳ ἐπυνθάνοντο Ἐν ποίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ ἐν ποίῳ ὀνόματι ἐποιήσατε τοῦτο ὑμεῖς
- 8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,τότε Πέτρος πνεύματος ἁγίου εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς Ἄρχοντες τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ⸀πρεσβύτεροι
- 9If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;εἰ ἡμεῖς σήμερον ἀνακρινόμεθα ἐπὶ εὐεργεσίᾳ ἀνθρώπου ἀσθενοῦς ἐν τίνι οὗτος
- 10Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.γνωστὸν ἔστω πᾶσιν ὑμῖν καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου ὃν ὑμεῖς ἐσταυρώσατε ὃν ὁ θεὸς ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐν τούτῳ οὗτος παρέστηκεν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ὑγιής
- 11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ λίθος ὁ ἐξουθενηθεὶς ὑφ’ ὑμῶν τῶν ὁ γενόμενος εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας
- 12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἄλλῳ οὐδενὶ ἡ σωτηρία ⸀οὐδὲ γὰρ ὄνομά ἐστιν ἕτερον ⸂ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανὸν⸃ τὸ δεδομένον ἐν ἀνθρώποις ἐν ᾧ δεῖ ἡμᾶς
- 13Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.Θεωροῦντες δὲ τὴν τοῦ Πέτρου καὶ Ἰωάννου καὶ καταλαβόμενοι ὅτι ἄνθρωποι ἀγράμματοί εἰσιν καὶ ἰδιῶται ἐθαύμαζον ἐπεγίνωσκόν τε αὐτοὺς ὅτι σὺν τῷ Ἰησοῦ ἦσαν
- 14And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.τόν ⸀τε ἄνθρωπον βλέποντες σὺν αὐτοῖς ἑστῶτα τὸν τεθεραπευμένον οὐδὲν εἶχον ἀντειπεῖν
- 15But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,κελεύσαντες δὲ αὐτοὺς ἔξω τοῦ συνεδρίου ἀπελθεῖν συνέβαλλον πρὸς ἀλλήλους
- 16Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.λέγοντες Τί ⸀ποιήσωμεν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις ὅτι μὲν γὰρ γνωστὸν σημεῖον γέγονεν δι’ αὐτῶν πᾶσιν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν φανερόν καὶ οὐ δυνάμεθα ⸀ἀρνεῖσθαι
- 17But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.ἀλλ’ ἵνα μὴ ἐπὶ πλεῖον διανεμηθῇ εἰς τὸν λαόν ⸀ἀπειλησώμεθα αὐτοῖς μηκέτι λαλεῖν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ μηδενὶ ἀνθρώπων
- 18And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.καὶ καλέσαντες αὐτοὺς παρήγγειλαν ⸀τὸ καθόλου μὴ φθέγγεσθαι μηδὲ διδάσκειν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Ἰησοῦ
- 19But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.ὁ δὲ Πέτρος καὶ Ἰωάννης ἀποκριθέντες ⸂εἶπον πρὸς αὐτούς⸃ Εἰ δίκαιόν ἐστιν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἀκούειν μᾶλλον ἢ τοῦ θεοῦ κρίνατε
- 20For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.οὐ δυνάμεθα γὰρ ἡμεῖς ἃ εἴδαμεν καὶ ἠκούσαμεν μὴ λαλεῖν
- 21So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.οἱ δὲ ἀπέλυσαν αὐτούς μηδὲν εὑρίσκοντες τὸ πῶς ⸀κολάσωνται αὐτούς διὰ τὸν λαόν ὅτι πάντες ἐδόξαζον τὸν θεὸν ἐπὶ τῷ γεγονότι
- 22For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.ἐτῶν γὰρ ἦν πλειόνων ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐφ’ ὃν ⸀γεγόνει τὸ σημεῖον τοῦτο τῆς ἰάσεως
- 23And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.Ἀπολυθέντες δὲ ἦλθον πρὸς τοὺς ἰδίους καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν ὅσα πρὸς αὐτοὺς οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι εἶπαν
- 24And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἦραν φωνὴν πρὸς τὸν θεὸν καὶ εἶπαν Δέσποτα ⸀σὺ ὁ ποιήσας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς
- 25Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?ὁ ⸂τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν⸃ διὰ ⸂πνεύματος ἁγίου⸃ στόματος παιδός σου εἰπών Ἱνατί ἐφρύαξαν ἔθνη καὶ λαοὶ ἐμελέτησαν κενά
- 26The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ κατὰ τοῦ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ
- 27For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,συνήχθησαν γὰρ ἐπ’ ἀληθείας ⸂ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ⸃ ἐπὶ τὸν ἅγιον παῖδά σου Ἰησοῦν ὃν ἔχρισας τε καὶ Πόντιος Πιλᾶτος σὺν ἔθνεσιν καὶ λαοῖς Ἰσραήλ
- 28For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.ποιῆσαι ὅσα ἡ χείρ σου καὶ ἡ ⸀βουλὴ προώρισεν γενέσθαι
- 29And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,καὶ τὰ νῦν κύριε ἐπὶ τὰς ἀπειλὰς αὐτῶν καὶ δὸς τοῖς δούλοις σου μετὰ πάσης λαλεῖν τὸν λόγον σου
- 30By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.ἐν τῷ τὴν χεῖρά ⸀σου ἐκτείνειν σε εἰς ἴασιν καὶ σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα γίνεσθαι διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ ἁγίου παιδός σου Ἰησοῦ
- 31And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.καὶ δεηθέντων αὐτῶν ἐσαλεύθη ὁ τόπος ἐν ᾧ ἦσαν συνηγμένοι καὶ ἅπαντες ⸂τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος⸃ καὶ ἐλάλουν τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ μετὰ
- 32And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.Τοῦ δὲ πλήθους τῶν πιστευσάντων ἦν ⸀καρδία καὶ ⸀ψυχὴ μία καὶ οὐδὲ εἷς τῶν ὑπαρχόντων ⸀αὐτῷ ἔλεγεν ἴδιον εἶναι ἀλλ’ ἦν αὐτοῖς ⸀πάντα κοινά
- 33And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.καὶ ⸂δυνάμει μεγάλῃ⸃ ἀπεδίδουν τὸ μαρτύριον οἱ ἀπόστολοι ⸂τῆς ἀναστάσεως τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ⸃ χάρις τε μεγάλη ἦν ἐπὶ πάντας αὐτούς
- 34Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐνδεής ⸀ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὅσοι γὰρ κτήτορες χωρίων ἢ οἰκιῶν ὑπῆρχον πωλοῦντες ἔφερον τὰς τιμὰς τῶν πιπρασκομένων
- 35And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.καὶ ἐτίθουν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων διεδίδετο δὲ ἑκάστῳ καθότι ἄν χρείαν εἶχεν
- 36And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,⸀Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ὁ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον υἱὸς παρακλήσεως Κύπριος τῷ γένει
- 37Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.ὑπάρχοντος αὐτῷ ἀγροῦ πωλήσας ἤνεγκεν τὸ χρῆμα καὶ ἔθηκεν ⸀παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων
