Acts of the Apostles 4

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 While they were still speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees confronted them,	1 Ενω δε αυτοι ελαλουν προς τον λαον, ηλθον επ' αυτους οι ιερεις και ο στρατηγος του ιερου και οι Σαδδουκαιοι,
2 disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.	2 αγανακτουντες διοτι εδιδασκον τον λαον και εκηρυττον δια του Ιησου την εκ νεκρων αναστασιν?
3 They laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, since it was already evening.	3 και επεβαλον επ' αυτους τας χειρας και εθεσαν υπο φυλαξιν εως της αυριον, διοτι ητο ηδη εσπερα.
4 But many of those who heard the word came to believe and (the) number of men grew to (about) five thousand.	4 Πολλοι δε των ακουσαντων τον λογον επιστευσαν, και εγεινεν ο αριθμος των ανδρων ως πεντε χιλιαδες.
5 On the next day, their leaders, elders, and scribes were assembled in Jerusalem,	5 Και τη επαυριον συνηχθησαν εις την Ιερουσαλημ οι αρχοντες αυτων και οι πρεσβυτεροι και οι γραμματεις,
6 with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly class.	6 και Αννας ο αρχιερευς και Καιαφας και Ιωαννης και Αλεξανδρος και οσοι ησαν εκ γενους αρχιερατικου.
7 They brought them into their presence and questioned them, "By what power or by what name have you done this?"	7 Και στησαντες αυτους εις το μεσον, ηρωτων? Δια ποιας δυναμεως η δια ποιου ονοματος επραξατε τουτο σεις;
8 Then Peter, filled with the holy Spirit, answered them, "Leaders of the people and elders:	8 Τοτε ο Πετρος, πλησθεις Πνευματος Αγιου, ειπε προς αυτους? Αρχοντες του λαου και πρεσβυτεροι του Ισραηλ,
9 If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a cripple, namely, by what means he was saved,	9 εαν ημεις ανακρινωμεθα σημερον δια ευεργεσιαν προς ανθρωπον ασθενουντα, δια ποιας δυναμεως ουτος ιατρευθη,
10 then all of you and all the people of Israel should know that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead; in his name this man stands before you healed.	10 ας ηναι γνωστον εις παντας υμας και εις παντα τον λαον του Ισραηλ οτι δια του ονοματος του Ιησου Χριστου του Ναζωραιου, τον οποιον σεις εσταυρωσατε, τον οποιον ο Θεος ανεστησεν εκ νεκρων, δια τουτου παρισταται ουτος ενωπιον υμων υγιης.
11 He is 'the stone rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.'	11 Ουτος ειναι ο λιθος ο εξουθενηθεις εφ' υμων των οικοδομουντων, οστις εγεινε κεφαλη γωνιας.
12 There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved."	12 Και δεν υπαρχει δι' ουδενος αλλου η σωτηρια? διοτι ουτε ονομα αλλο ειναι υπο τον ουρανον δεδομενον μεταξυ των ανθρωπων, δια του οποιου πρεπει να σωθωμεν.
13 Observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving them to be uneducated, ordinary men, they were amazed, and they recognized them as the companions of Jesus.	13 Θεωρουντες δε την παρρησιαν του Πετρου και Ιωαννου, και πληροφορηθεντες οτι ειναι ανθρωποι αγραμματοι και ιδιωται, εθαυμαζον και ανεγνωριζον αυτους οτι ησαν μετα του Ιησου?
14 Then when they saw the man who had been cured standing there with them, they could say nothing in reply.	14 βλεποντες δε τον ανθρωπον τον τεθεραπευμενον ισταμενον μετ' αυτων, δεν ειχον ουδεν να αντειπωσι.
15 So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin, and conferred with one another, saying,	15 Προσταξαντες δε αυτους να απελθωσιν εξω του συνεδριου, συνεβουλευθησαν προς αλληλους,
16 "What are we to do with these men? Everyone living in Jerusalem knows that a remarkable sign was done through them, and we cannot deny it.	16 λεγοντες? Τι θελομεν καμει εις τους ανθρωπους τουτους; επειδη οτι μεν εγεινε δι' αυτων γνωστον θαυμα, ειναι φανερον εις παντας τους κατοικουντας την Ιερουσαλημ, και δεν δυναμεθα να αρνηθωμεν τουτο?
17 But so that it may not be spread any further among the people, let us give them a stern warning never again to speak to anyone in this name."	17 αλλα δια να μη διαδοθη περισσοτερον εις τον λαον, ας απειλησωμεν αυτους αυστηρως να μη λαλωσι πλεον εν τω ονοματι τουτω προς μηδενα ανθρωπον.
18 So they called them back and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.	18 Και καλεσαντες αυτους, παρηγγειλαν εις αυτους να μη λαλωσι καθολου μηδε να διδασκωσιν εν τω ονοματι του Ιησου.
19 Peter and John, however, said to them in reply, "Whether it is right in the sight of God for us to obey you rather than God, you be the judges.	19 Ο δε Πετρος και Ιωαννης αποκριθεντες προς αυτους, ειπον? Αν ηναι δικαιον ενωπιον του Θεου να ακουωμεν εσας μαλλον παρα τον Θεον, κρινατε.
20 It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard."	20 Διοτι ημεις δεν δυναμεθα να μη λαλωμεν οσα ειδομεν και ηκουσαμεν.
21 After threatening them further, they released them, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people who were all praising God for what had happened.	21 Οι δε, παλιν απειλησαντες αυτους απελυσαν, μη ευρισκοντες το πως να τιμωρησωσιν αυτους, δια τον λαον, διοτι παντες εδοξαζον τον Θεον δια το γεγονος.
22 For the man on whom this sign of healing had been done was over forty years old.	22 Επειδη ο ανθρωπος, εις τον οποιον εγεινε το θαυμα τουτο της θεραπειας, ητο περισσοτερον των τεσσαρακοντα ετων.
23 After their release they went back to their own people and reported what the chief priests and elders had told them.	23 Και αφου απελυθησαν, ηλθον προς τους οικειους και απηγγειλαν οσα ειπον προς αυτους οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι.
24 And when they heard it, they raised their voices to God with one accord and said, "Sovereign Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them,	24 Οι δε ακουσαντες, ομοθυμαδον υψωσαν την φωνην προς τον Θεον και ειπον? Δεσποτα, συ εισαι ο Θεος, οστις εκαμες τον ουρανον και την γην και την θαλασσαν και παντα τα εν αυτοις,
25 you said by the holy Spirit through the mouth of our father David, your servant: 'Why did the Gentiles rage and the peoples entertain folly?	25 οστις ειπας δια στοματος Δαβιδ του δουλου σου? Δια τι εφρυαξαν τα εθνη και οι λαοι εμελετησαν ματαια;
26 The kings of the earth took their stand and the princes gathered together against the Lord and against his anointed.'	26 παρεσταθησαν οι βασιλεις της γης και οι αρχοντες συνηχθησαν ομου κατα του Κυριου και κατα του Χριστου αυτου.
27 Indeed they gathered in this city against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed, Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,	27 Διοτι συνηχθησαν επ' αληθειας εναντιον του αγιου Παιδος σου Ιησου, τον οποιον εχρισας, και ο Ηρωδης και ο Ποντιος Πιλατος μετα των εθνων και των λαων του Ισραηλ,
28 to do what your hand and (your) will had long ago planned to take place.	28 δια να καμωσιν οσα η χειρ σου και η βουλη σου προωρισε να γεινωσι?
29 And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and enable your servants to speak your word with all boldness,	29 και τωρα, Κυριε, βλεψον εις τας απειλας αυτων και δος εις τους δουλους σου να λαλωσι τον λογον σου μετα πασης παρρησιας,
30 as you stretch forth (your) hand to heal, and signs and wonders are done through the name of your holy servant Jesus."	30 εκτεινων την χειρα σου εις θεραπειαν και γινομενων σημειων και τεραστιων δια του ονοματος του αγιου Παιδος σου Ιησου.
31 As they prayed, the place where they were gathered shook, and they were all filled with the holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.	31 Μετα δε την δεησιν αυτων εσεισθη ο τοπος οπου ησαν συνηγμενοι, και επλησθησαν απαντες Πνευματος Αγιου και ελαλουν τον λογον του Θεου μετα παρρησιας.
32 The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common.	32 Του δε πληθους των πιστευσαντων η καρδια και η ψυχη ητο μια, και ουδε εις ελεγεν οτι ειναι εαυτου τι εκ των υπαρχοντων αυτου αλλ' ειχον τα παντα κοινα.
33 With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all.	33 Και μετα δυναμεως μεγαλης απεδιδον οι αποστολοι την μαρτυριαν της αναστασεως του Κυριου Ιησου, και χαρις μεγαλη ητο επι παντας αυτους.
34 There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale,	34 Επειδη ουδε ητο τις μεταξυ αυτων ενδεης? διοτι οσοι ησαν κτητορες αγρων η οικιων, πωλουντες εφερον τας τιμας των πωλουμενων
35 and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need.	35 και εθετον εις τους ποδας των αποστολων? και διεμοιραζετο εις εκαστον κατα την χρειαν την οποιαν ειχε.
36 Thus Joseph, also named by the apostles Barnabas (which is translated "son of encouragement"), a Levite, a Cypriot by birth,	36 Και ο Ιωσης, ο επονομασθεις υπο των αποστολων Βαρναβας, το οποιον μεθερμηνευομενον ειναι υιος παρηγοριας Λευιτης, Κυπριος το γενος,
37 sold a piece of property that he owned, then brought the money and put it at the feet of the apostles.	37 εχων αγρον επωλησε και εφερε τα χρηματα και εθεσεν εις τους ποδας των αποστολων.
