Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
1λαλουντων δε αυτων προσ τον λαον επεστησαν αυτοισ οι ιερεισ και ο στρατηγοσ του ιερου και οι σαδδουκαιοι
2being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
2διαπονουμενοι δια το διδασκειν αυτουσ τον λαον και καταγγελλειν εν τω ιησου την αναστασιν των νεκρων
3They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
3και επεβαλον αυτοισ τασ χειρασ και εθεντο εισ τηρησιν εισ την αυριον ην γαρ εσπερα ηδη
4But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
4πολλοι δε των ακουσαντων τον λογον επιστευσαν και εγενηθη ο αριθμοσ των ανδρων ωσει χιλιαδεσ πεντε
5In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
5εγενετο δε επι την αυριον συναχθηναι αυτων τουσ αρχοντασ και πρεσβυτερουσ και γραμματεισ εισ ιερουσαλημ
6Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
6και ανναν τον αρχιερεα και καιαφαν και ιωαννην και αλεξανδρον και οσοι ησαν εκ γενουσ αρχιερατικου
7When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done 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, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
8τοτε πετροσ πλησθεισ πνευματοσ αγιου ειπεν προσ αυτουσ αρχοντεσ του λαου και πρεσβυτεροι του ισραηλ
9if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
9ει ημεισ σημερον ανακρινομεθα επι ευεργεσια ανθρωπου ασθενουσ εν τινι 5101 I-DSN ουτοσ σεσωσται
10may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.
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
11He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
11ουτοσ εστιν ο λιθοσ ο εξουθενηθεισ υφ υμων των οικοδομουντων ο γενομενοσ εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ
12There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among 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
13Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they 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
14Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
14τον δε ανθρωπον βλεποντεσ συν αυτοισ εστωτα τον τεθεραπευμενον ουδεν ειχον αντειπειν
15But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
15κελευσαντεσ δε αυτουσ εξω του συνεδριου απελθειν συνεβαλλον προσ αλληλουσ
16saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t 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 so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t 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
18They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach 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 answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
19ο δε πετροσ και ιωαννησ αποκριθεντεσ προσ αυτουσ ειπον ει δικαιον εστιν ενωπιον του θεου υμων ακουειν μαλλον η του θεου κρινατε
20for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
20ου δυναμεθα γαρ ημεισ α ειδομεν και ηκουσαμεν μη λαλειν
21When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
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 on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
22ετων γαρ ην πλειονων τεσσαρακοντα ο ανθρωποσ εφ ον εγεγονει το σημειον τουτο τησ ιασεωσ
23Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
23απολυθεντεσ δε ηλθον προσ τουσ ιδιουσ και απηγγειλαν οσα προσ αυτουσ οι αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι ειπον
24When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is 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
25who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
25ο δια στοματοσ δαυιδ παιδοσ σου ειπων ινα τι εφρυαξαν εθνη και λαοι εμελετησαν κενα
26The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
26παρεστησαν οι βασιλεισ τησ γησ και οι αρχοντεσ συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο κατα του κυριου και κατα του χριστου αυτου
27“For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 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
28to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
28ποιησαι οσα η χειρ σου και η βουλη σου προωρισεν γενεσθαι
29Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
29και τα νυν κυριε επιδε επι τασ απειλασ αυτων και δοσ τοισ δουλοισ σου μετα παρρησιασ πασησ λαλειν τον λογον σου
30while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done 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
31When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
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 those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
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 gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
33και μεγαλη δυναμει απεδιδουν το μαρτυριον οι αποστολοι τησ αναστασεωσ του κυριου ιησου χαρισ τε μεγαλη ην επι παντασ αυτουσ
34For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
34ουδε γαρ ενδεησ τισ υπηρχεν εν αυτοισ οσοι γαρ κτητορεσ χωριων η οικιων υπηρχον πωλουντεσ εφερον τασ τιμασ των πιπρασκομενων
35and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
35και ετιθουν παρα τουσ ποδασ των αποστολων διεδιδοτο δε εκαστω καθοτι αν τισ χρειαν ειχεν
36Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
36ιωσησ δε ο επικληθεισ βαρναβασ απο των αποστολων ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον υιοσ παρακλησεωσ λευιτησ κυπριοσ τω γενει
37having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
37υπαρχοντοσ αυτω αγρου πωλησασ ηνεγκεν το χρημα και εθηκεν παρα τουσ ποδασ των αποστολων
