Πραξεις 4

1 λαλουντων δε αυτων προσ τον λαον επεστησαν αυτοισ οι ιερεισ και ο στρατηγοσ του ιερου και οι σαδδουκαιοι

And as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,

2 διαπονουμενοι δια το διδασκειν αυτουσ τον λαον και καταγγελλειν εν τω ιησου την αναστασιν των νεκρων

Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3 και επεβαλον αυτοισ τασ χειρασ και εθεντο εισ τηρησιν εισ την αυριον ην γαρ εσπερα ηδη

And they laid hands on them, and put [them] in custody to the next day: for it was now evening.

4 πολλοι δε των ακουσαντων τον λογον επιστευσαν και εγενηθη ο αριθμοσ των ανδρων ωσει χιλιαδεσ πεντε

But many of them who heard the word, believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

5 εγενετο δε επι την αυριον συναχθηναι αυτων τουσ αρχοντασ και πρεσβυτερουσ και γραμματεισ εισ ιερουσαλημ

And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

6 και ανναν τον αρχιερεα και καιαφαν και ιωαννην και αλεξανδρον και οσοι ησαν εκ γενουσ αρχιερατικου

And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were assembled at Jerusalem.

7 και στησαντεσ αυτουσ εν μεσω επυνθανοντο εν ποια δυναμει η εν ποιω ονοματι εποιησατε τουτο υμεισ

And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name have ye done this?

8 τοτε πετροσ πλησθεισ πνευματοσ αγιου ειπεν προσ αυτουσ αρχοντεσ του λαου και πρεσβυτεροι του ισραηλ

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

9 ει ημεισ σημερον ανακρινομεθα επι ευεργεσια ανθρωπου ασθενουσ εν τινι ουτοσ σεσωσται

If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made sound.

10 γνωστον εστω πασιν υμιν και παντι τω λαω ισραηλ οτι εν τω ονοματι ιησου χριστου του ναζωραιου ον υμεισ εσταυρωσατε ον ο θεοσ ηγειρεν εκ νεκρων εν τουτω ουτοσ παρεστηκεν ενωπιον υμων υγιησ

Be it known to 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 sound.

11 ουτοσ εστιν ο λιθοσ ο εξουθενηθεισ υφ υμων των οικοδομουντων ο γενομενοσ εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ

This is the stone which was set at naught by you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

12 και ουκ εστιν εν αλλω ουδενι η σωτηρια ουτε γαρ ονομα εστιν ετερον το δεδομενον εν ανθρωποισ εν ω δει σωθηναι ημασ

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved.

13 θεωρουντεσ δε την του πετρου παρρησιαν και ιωαννου και καταλαβομενοι οτι ανθρωποι αγραμματοι εισιν και ιδιωται εθαυμαζον επεγινωσκον τε αυτουσ οτι συν τω ιησου ησαν

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

14 τον δε ανθρωπον βλεποντεσ συν αυτοισ εστωτα τον τεθεραπευμενον ουδεν ειχον αντειπειν

And beholding the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

15 κελευσαντεσ δε αυτουσ εξω του συνεδριου απελθειν συνεβαλλον προσ αλληλουσ

But when they had commanded them to withdraw from the council, they conferred among themselves,

16 λεγοντεσ τι ποιησομεν τοισ ανθρωποισ τουτοισ οτι μεν γαρ γνωστον σημειον γεγονεν δι αυτων πασιν τοισ κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ φανερον και ου δυναμεθα αρνησασθαι

Saying, 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].

17 αλλ ινα μη επι πλειον διανεμηθη εισ τον λαον απειλη απειλησομεθα αυτοισ μηκετι λαλειν επι τω ονοματι τουτω μηδενι ανθρωπων

But that it may spread no further among the people, let us strictly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

18 και καλεσαντεσ αυτουσ παρηγγειλαν αυτοισ το καθολου μη φθεγγεσθαι μηδε διδασκειν επι τω ονοματι του ιησου

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus.

19 ο δε πετροσ και ιωαννησ αποκριθεντεσ προσ αυτουσ ειπον ει δικαιον εστιν ενωπιον του θεου υμων ακουειν μαλλον η του θεου κρινατε

But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.

20 ου δυναμεθα γαρ ημεισ α ειδομεν και ηκουσαμεν μη λαλειν

For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

21 οι δε προσαπειλησαμενοι απελυσαν αυτουσ μηδεν ευρισκοντεσ το πωσ κολασονται αυτουσ δια τον λαον οτι παντεσ εδοξαζον τον θεον επι τω γεγονοτι

So 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.

22 ετων γαρ ην πλειονων τεσσαρακοντα ο ανθρωποσ εφ ον εγεγονει το σημειον τουτο τησ ιασεωσ

For the man was above forty years old on whom this miracle of healing was performed.

23 απολυθεντεσ δε ηλθον προσ τουσ ιδιουσ και απηγγειλαν οσα προσ αυτουσ οι αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι ειπον

And being dismissed, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

24 οι δε ακουσαντεσ ομοθυμαδον ηραν φωνην προσ τον θεον και ειπον δεσποτα συ ο θεοσ ο ποιησασ τον ουρανον και την γην και την θαλασσαν και παντα τα εν αυτοισ

And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou [art] God, who hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that is in them;

25 ο δια στοματοσ δαυιδ παιδοσ σου ειπων ινα τι εφρυαξαν εθνη και λαοι εμελετησαν κενα

Who, by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

26 παρεστησαν οι βασιλεισ τησ γησ και οι αρχοντεσ συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο κατα του κυριου και κατα του χριστου αυτου

The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were assembled against the Lord, and against his Christ.

27 συνηχθησαν γαρ επ αληθειασ επι τον αγιον παιδα σου ιησουν ον εχρισασ ηρωδησ τε και ποντιοσ πιλατοσ συν εθνεσιν και λαοισ ισραηλ

For in truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were assembled,

28 ποιησαι οσα η χειρ σου και η βουλη σου προωρισεν γενεσθαι

To do whatever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

29 και τα νυν κυριε επιδε επι τασ απειλασ αυτων και δοσ τοισ δουλοισ σου μετα παρρησιασ πασησ λαλειν τον λογον σου

And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant to thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

30 εν τω την χειρα σου εκτεινειν σε εισ ιασιν και σημεια και τερατα γινεσθαι δια του ονοματοσ του αγιου παιδοσ σου ιησου

By stretching forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

31 και δεηθεντων αυτων εσαλευθη ο τοποσ εν ω ησαν συνηγμενοι και επλησθησαν απαντεσ πνευματοσ αγιου και ελαλουν τον λογον του θεου μετα παρρησιασ

And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

32 του δε πληθουσ των πιστευσαντων ην η καρδια και η ψυχη μια και ουδε εισ τι των υπαρχοντων αυτων ελεγεν ιδιον ειναι αλλ ην αυτοισ απαντα κοινα

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart, and of one soul: neither said any [of them] that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

33 και μεγαλη δυναμει απεδιδουν το μαρτυριον οι αποστολοι τησ αναστασεωσ του κυριου ιησου χαρισ τε μεγαλη ην επι παντασ αυτουσ

And with great power the apostles gave testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

34 ουδε γαρ ενδεησ τισ υπηρχεν εν αυτοισ οσοι γαρ κτητορεσ χωριων η οικιων υπηρχον πωλουντεσ εφερον τασ τιμασ των πιπρασκομενων

Neither was there any among them that was in want: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

35 και ετιθουν παρα τουσ ποδασ των αποστολων διεδιδοτο δε εκαστω καθοτι αν τισ χρειαν ειχεν

And laid [them] down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made to every man according as he had need.

36 ιωσησ δε ο επικληθεισ βαρναβασ απο των αποστολων ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον υιοσ παρακλησεωσ λευιτησ κυπριοσ τω γενει

And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation, ) a Levite, [and] of the country of Cyprus,

37 υπαρχοντοσ αυτω αγρου πωλησασ ηνεγκεν το χρημα και εθηκεν παρα τουσ ποδασ των αποστολων

Having land, sold [it], and brought the money, and laid [it] at the apostles' feet.
