Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1But a certain man named Ananias, with Saphira his wife, sold a piece of land,
1ανηρ δε τισ ανανιασ ονοματι συν σαπφειρη τη γυναικι αυτου επωλησεν κτημα
2And by fraud kept back part of the price of the land, his wife being privy thereunto: and bringing a certain part of it, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
2και ενοσφισατο απο τησ τιμησ συνειδυιασ και τησ γυναικοσ αυτου και ενεγκασ μεροσ τι παρα τουσ ποδασ των αποστολων εθηκεν
3But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and by fraud keep part of the price of the land?
3ειπεν δε πετροσ ανανια δια τι επληρωσεν ο σατανασ την καρδιαν σου ψευσασθαι σε το πνευμα το αγιον και νοσφισασθαι σε απο τησ τιμησ του χωριου
4Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
4ουχι μενον σοι εμενεν και πραθεν εν τη ση εξουσια υπηρχεν τι οτι εθου εν τη καρδια σου το πραγμα τουτο ουκ εψευσω ανθρωποισ αλλα τω θεω
5And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.
5ακουων δε ο ανανιασ τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ πεσων εξεψυξεν και εγενετο φοβοσ μεγασ επι παντασ τουσ ακουοντασ ταυτα
6And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.
6ανασταντεσ δε οι νεωτεροι συνεστειλαν αυτον και εξενεγκαντεσ εθαψαν
7And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
7εγενετο δε ωσ ωρων τριων διαστημα και η γυνη αυτου μη ειδυια το γεγονοσ εισηλθεν
8And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.
8απεκριθη δε αυτη ο πετροσ ειπε μοι ει τοσουτου το χωριον απεδοσθε η δε ειπεν ναι τοσουτου
9And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
9ο δε πετροσ ειπεν προσ αυτην τι οτι συνεφωνηθη υμιν πειρασαι το πνευμα κυριου ιδου οι ποδεσ των θαψαντων τον ανδρα σου επι τη θυρα και εξοισουσιν σε
10Immediately she fell down before his feet, and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in, found her dead: and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
10επεσεν δε παραχρημα παρα τουσ ποδασ αυτου και εξεψυξεν εισελθοντεσ δε οι νεανισκοι ευρον αυτην νεκραν και εξενεγκαντεσ εθαψαν προσ τον ανδρα αυτησ
11And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.
11και εγενετο φοβοσ μεγασ εφ ολην την εκκλησιαν και επι παντασ τουσ ακουοντασ ταυτα
12And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
12δια δε των χειρων των αποστολων εγινετο σημεια και τερατα εν τω λαω πολλα και ησαν ομοθυμαδον απαντεσ εν τη στοα σολομωντοσ
13But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them; but the people magnified them.
13των δε λοιπων ουδεισ ετολμα κολλασθαι αυτοισ αλλ εμεγαλυνεν αυτουσ ο λαοσ
14And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord, was more increased:
14μαλλον δε προσετιθεντο πιστευοντεσ τω κυριω πληθη ανδρων τε και γυναικων
15Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter came, his shadow at the least, might overshadow any of them, and they might be delivered from their infirmities.
15ωστε κατα τασ πλατειασ εκφερειν τουσ ασθενεισ και τιθεναι επι κλινων και κραββατων ινα ερχομενου πετρου καν η σκια επισκιαση τινι αυτων
16And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighboring cities, bringing sick persons, and such as were troubled with unclean spirits; who were all healed.
16συνηρχετο δε και το πληθοσ των περιξ πολεων εισ ιερουσαλημ φεροντεσ ασθενεισ και οχλουμενουσ υπο πνευματων ακαθαρτων οιτινεσ εθεραπευοντο απαντεσ
17Then the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, (which is the heresy of the Sadducees,) were filled with envy.
17αναστασ δε ο αρχιερευσ και παντεσ οι συν αυτω η ουσα αιρεσισ των σαδδουκαιων επλησθησαν ζηλου
18And they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
18και επεβαλον τασ χειρασ αυτων επι τουσ αποστολουσ και εθεντο αυτουσ εν τηρησει δημοσια
19But an angel of the Lord by night opening the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said:
19αγγελοσ δε κυριου δια τησ νυκτοσ ηνοιξεν τασ θυρασ τησ φυλακησ εξαγαγων τε αυτουσ ειπεν
20Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
20πορευεσθε και σταθεντεσ λαλειτε εν τω ιερω τω λαω παντα τα ρηματα τησ ζωησ ταυτησ
21Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council, and all the ancients of the children of Israel; and they sent to the prison to have them brought.
21ακουσαντεσ δε εισηλθον υπο τον ορθρον εισ το ιερον και εδιδασκον παραγενομενοσ δε ο αρχιερευσ και οι συν αυτω συνεκαλεσαν το συνεδριον και πασαν την γερουσιαν των υιων ισραηλ και απεστειλαν εισ το δεσμωτηριον αχθηναι αυτουσ
22But when the ministers came, and opening the prison, found them not there, they returned and told,
22οι δε υπηρεται παραγενομενοι ουχ ευρον αυτουσ εν τη φυλακη αναστρεψαντεσ δε απηγγειλαν
23Saying: The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing before the doors; but opening it, we found no man within.
23λεγοντεσ οτι το μεν δεσμωτηριον ευρομεν κεκλεισμενον εν παση ασφαλεια και τουσ φυλακασ εστωτασ προ των θυρων ανοιξαντεσ δε εσω ουδενα ευρομεν
24Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass.
24ωσ δε ηκουσαν τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ ο τε ιερευσ και ο στρατηγοσ του ιερου και οι αρχιερεισ διηπορουν περι αυτων τι αν γενοιτο τουτο
25But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing, and teaching the people.
25παραγενομενοσ δε τισ απηγγειλεν αυτοισ οτι ιδου οι ανδρεσ ουσ εθεσθε εν τη φυλακη εισιν εν τω ιερω εστωτεσ και διδασκοντεσ τον λαον
26Then went the officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
26τοτε απελθων ο στρατηγοσ συν τοισ υπηρεταισ ηγαγεν αυτουσ ου μετα βιασ εφοβουντο γαρ τον λαον ινα μη λιθασθωσιν
27And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
27αγαγοντεσ δε αυτουσ εστησαν εν τω συνεδριω και επηρωτησεν αυτουσ ο αρχιερευσ
28Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.
28λεγων ου παραγγελια παρηγγειλαμεν υμιν μη διδασκειν επι τω ονοματι τουτω και ιδου πεπληρωκατε την ιερουσαλημ τησ διδαχησ υμων και βουλεσθε επαγαγειν εφ ημασ το αιμα του ανθρωπου τουτου
29But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.
29αποκριθεισ δε πετροσ και οι αποστολοι ειπον πειθαρχειν δει θεω μαλλον η ανθρωποισ
30The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.
30ο θεοσ των πατερων ημων ηγειρεν ιησουν ον υμεισ διεχειρισασθε κρεμασαντεσ επι ξυλου
31Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
31τουτον ο θεοσ αρχηγον και σωτηρα υψωσεν τη δεξια αυτου δουναι μετανοιαν τω ισραηλ και αφεσιν αμαρτιων
32And we are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.
32και ημεισ εσμεν αυτου μαρτυρεσ των ρηματων τουτων και το πνευμα δε το αγιον ο εδωκεν ο θεοσ τοισ πειθαρχουσιν αυτω
33When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them to death.
33οι δε ακουοντεσ διεπριοντο και εβουλευοντο ανελειν αυτουσ
34But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while.
34αναστασ δε τισ εν τω συνεδριω φαρισαιοσ ονοματι γαμαλιηλ νομοδιδασκαλοσ τιμιοσ παντι τω λαω εκελευσεν εξω βραχυ τι τουσ αποστολουσ ποιησαι
35And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.
35ειπεν τε προσ αυτουσ ανδρεσ ισραηλιται προσεχετε εαυτοισ επι τοισ ανθρωποισ τουτοισ τι μελλετε πρασσειν
36For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing.
36προ γαρ τουτων των ημερων ανεστη θευδασ λεγων ειναι τινα εαυτον ω προσεκληθη αριθμοσ ανδρων ωσει τετρακοσιων οσ ανηρεθη και παντεσ οσοι επειθοντο αυτω διελυθησαν και εγενοντο εισ ουδεν
37After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed.
37μετα τουτον ανεστη ιουδασ ο γαλιλαιοσ εν ταισ ημεραισ τησ απογραφησ και απεστησεν λαον ικανον οπισω αυτου κακεινοσ απωλετο και παντεσ οσοι επειθοντο αυτω διεσκορπισθησαν
38And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
38και τα νυν λεγω υμιν αποστητε απο των ανθρωπων τουτων και εασατε αυτουσ οτι εαν η εξ ανθρωπων η βουλη η το εργον τουτο καταλυθησεται
39But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. And they consented to him.
39ει δε εκ θεου εστιν ου δυνασθε καταλυσαι αυτο μηποτε και θεομαχοι ευρεθητε
40And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus; and they dismissed them.
40επεισθησαν δε αυτω και προσκαλεσαμενοι τουσ αποστολουσ δειραντεσ παρηγγειλαν μη λαλειν επι τω ονοματι του ιησου και απελυσαν αυτουσ
41And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus.
41οι μεν ουν επορευοντο χαιροντεσ απο προσωπου του συνεδριου οτι υπερ του ονοματοσ του ιησου κατηξιωθησαν ατιμασθηναι
42And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus.
42πασαν τε ημεραν εν τω ιερω και κατ οικον ουκ επαυοντο διδασκοντεσ και ευαγγελιζομενοι ιησουν τον χριστον
