Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,
1λαλουντων δε αυτων προσ τον λαον επεστησαν αυτοισ οι ιερεισ και ο στρατηγοσ του ιερου και οι σαδδουκαιοι
2greatly disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
2διαπονουμενοι δια το διδασκειν αυτουσ τον λαον και καταγγελλειν εν τω ιησου την αναστασιν των νεκρων
3They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in custody until the next day.
3και επεβαλον αυτοισ τασ χειρασ και εθεντο εισ τηρησιν εισ την αυριον ην γαρ εσπερα ηδη
4But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.
4πολλοι δε των ακουσαντων τον λογον επιστευσαν και εγενηθη ο αριθμοσ των ανδρων ωσει χιλιαδεσ πεντε
5The next day the rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem,
5εγενετο δε επι την αυριον συναχθηναι αυτων τουσ αρχοντασ και πρεσβυτερουσ και γραμματεισ εισ ιερουσαλημ
6along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others from the high priest’s family.
6και ανναν τον αρχιερεα και καιαφαν και ιωαννην και αλεξανδρον και οσοι ησαν εκ γενουσ αρχιερατικου
7They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”
7και στησαντεσ αυτουσ εν μεσω επυνθανοντο εν ποια δυναμει η εν ποιω ονοματι εποιησατε τουτο υμεισ
8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people!
8τοτε πετροσ πλησθεισ πνευματοσ αγιου ειπεν προσ αυτουσ αρχοντεσ του λαου και πρεσβυτεροι του ισραηλ
9If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed,
9ει ημεισ σημερον ανακρινομεθα επι ευεργεσια ανθρωπου ασθενουσ εν τινι 5101 I-DSN ουτοσ σεσωσται
10then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
10γνωστον 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
11This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’
11ουτοσ εστιν ο λιθοσ ο εξουθενηθεισ υφ υμων των οικοδομουντων ο γενομενοσ εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ
12Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
12και ουκ εστιν εν αλλω ουδενι η σωτηρια ουτε γαρ ονομα εστιν ετερον το δεδομενον εν ανθρωποισ εν ω δει σωθηναι ημασ
13When they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they marveled and took note that these men had been with Jesus.
13θεωρουντεσ δε την του πετρου παρρησιαν και ιωαννου και καταλαβομενοι οτι ανθρωποι αγραμματοι εισιν και ιδιωται εθαυμαζον επεγινωσκον τε αυτουσ οτι συν τω ιησου ησαν
14And seeing the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in response.
14τον δε ανθρωπον βλεποντεσ συν αυτοισ εστωτα τον τεθεραπευμενον ουδεν ειχον αντειπειν
15So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.
15κελευσαντεσ δε αυτουσ εξω του συνεδριου απελθειν συνεβαλλον προσ αλληλουσ
16“What shall we do with these men?” they asked. “It is clear to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has occurred through them, and we cannot deny it.
16λεγοντεσ τι ποιησομεν τοισ ανθρωποισ τουτοισ οτι μεν γαρ γνωστον σημειον γεγονεν δι αυτων πασιν τοισ κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ φανερον και ου δυναμεθα αρνησασθαι
17But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”
17αλλ ινα μη επι πλειον διανεμηθη εισ τον λαον απειλη απειλησομεθα αυτοισ μηκετι λαλειν επι τω ονοματι τουτω μηδενι ανθρωπων
18Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
18και καλεσαντεσ αυτουσ παρηγγειλαν αυτοισ το καθολου μη φθεγγεσθαι μηδε διδασκειν επι τω ονοματι του ιησου
19But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.
19ο δε πετροσ και ιωαννησ αποκριθεντεσ προσ αυτουσ ειπον ει δικαιον εστιν ενωπιον του θεου υμων ακουειν μαλλον η του θεου κρινατε
20For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
20ου δυναμεθα γαρ ημεισ α ειδομεν και ηκουσαμεν μη λαλειν
21After further threats they let them go. They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.
21οι δε προσαπειλησαμενοι απελυσαν αυτουσ μηδεν ευρισκοντεσ το πωσ κολασονται αυτουσ δια τον λαον οτι παντεσ εδοξαζον τον θεον επι τω γεγονοτι
22For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
22ετων γαρ ην πλειονων τεσσαρακοντα ο ανθρωποσ εφ ον εγεγονει το σημειον τουτο τησ ιασεωσ
23On their release, Peter and John returned to their own people and reported everything that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
23απολυθεντεσ δε ηλθον προσ τουσ ιδιουσ και απηγγειλαν οσα προσ αυτουσ οι αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι ειπον
24When the believers heard this, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them.
24οι 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
25You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of Your servant, our father David: ‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
25ο δια στοματοσ δαυιδ παιδοσ σου ειπων ινα τι εφρυαξαν εθνη και λαοι εμελετησαν κενα
26The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against His Anointed One.’
26παρεστησαν οι βασιλεισ τησ γησ και οι αρχοντεσ συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο κατα του κυριου και κατα του χριστου αυτου
27In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.
27συνηχθησαν γαρ επ αληθειασ επι τον αγιον παιδα σου ιησουν ον εχρισασ ηρωδησ τε και ποντιοσ πιλατοσ συν εθνεσιν και λαοισ ισραηλ
28They carried out what Your hand and will had decided beforehand would happen.
28ποιησαι οσα η χειρ σου και η βουλη σου προωρισεν γενεσθαι
29And now, Lord, consider their threats, and enable Your servants to speak Your word with complete boldness,
29και τα νυν κυριε επιδε επι τασ απειλασ αυτων και δοσ τοισ δουλοισ σου μετα παρρησιασ πασησ λαλειν τον λογον σου
30as You stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”
30εν τω την χειρα σου εκτεινειν σε εισ ιασιν και σημεια και τερατα γινεσθαι δια του ονοματοσ του αγιου παιδοσ σου ιησου
31After they had prayed, their meeting place was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
31και δεηθεντων αυτων εσαλευθη ο τοποσ εν ω ησαν συνηγμενοι και επλησθησαν απαντεσ πνευματοσ αγιου και ελαλουν τον λογον του θεου μετα παρρησιασ
32The multitude of believers was one in heart and soul. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they owned.
32του 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
33With great power the apostles continued to give their testimony about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And abundant grace was upon them all.
33και μεγαλη δυναμει απεδιδουν το μαρτυριον οι αποστολοι τησ αναστασεωσ του κυριου ιησου χαρισ τε μεγαλη ην επι παντασ αυτουσ
34There were no needy ones among them, because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property, bring the proceeds from the sales,
34ουδε γαρ ενδεησ τισ υπηρχεν εν αυτοισ οσοι γαρ κτητορεσ χωριων η οικιων υπηρχον πωλουντεσ εφερον τασ τιμασ των πιπρασκομενων
35and lay them at the apostles’ feet for distribution to anyone as he had need.
35και ετιθουν παρα τουσ ποδασ των αποστολων διεδιδοτο δε εκαστω καθοτι αν τισ χρειαν ειχεν
36Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (meaning Son of Encouragement),
36ιωσησ δε ο επικληθεισ βαρναβασ απο των αποστολων ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον υιοσ παρακλησεωσ λευιτησ κυπριοσ τω γενει
37sold a field he owned, brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
37υπαρχοντοσ αυτω αγρου πωλησασ ηνεγκεν το χρημα και εθηκεν παρα τουσ ποδασ των αποστολων
