Acts of the Apostles 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 But while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the magistrate of the temple and the Sadducees overwhelmed them,	1 Ενω δε αυτοι ελαλουν προς τον λαον, ηλθον επ' αυτους οι ιερεις και ο στρατηγος του ιερου και οι Σαδδουκαιοι,
2 being grieved that they were teaching the people and announcing in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.	2 αγανακτουντες διοτι εδιδασκον τον λαον και εκηρυττον δια του Ιησου την εκ νεκρων αναστασιν?
3 And they laid hands on them, and they placed them under guard until the next day. For it was now 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 had heard the word believed. And the number of men became five thousand.	4 Πολλοι δε των ακουσαντων τον λογον επιστευσαν, και εγεινεν ο αριθμος των ανδρων ως πεντε χιλιαδες.
5 And it happened on the next day that their leaders and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,	5 Και τη επαυριον συνηχθησαν εις την Ιερουσαλημ οι αρχοντες αυτων και οι πρεσβυτεροι και οι γραμματεις,
6 including Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the priestly family.	6 και Αννας ο αρχιερευς και Καιαφας και Ιωαννης και Αλεξανδρος και οσοι ησαν εκ γενους αρχιερατικου.
7 And stationing them in the middle, they questioned them: “By what power, or in whose 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, said to them: “Leaders of the people and elders, listen.	8 Τοτε ο Πετρος, πλησθεις Πνευματος Αγιου, ειπε προς αυτους? Αρχοντες του λαου και πρεσβυτεροι του Ισραηλ,
9 If we today are judged by a good deed done to an infirm man, by which he has been made whole,	9 εαν ημεις ανακρινωμεθα σημερον δια ευεργεσιαν προς ανθρωπον ασθενουντα, δια ποιας δυναμεως ουτος ιατρευθη,
10 let it be known to all of you and to all of the people of Israel, that in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead, by him, this man stands before you, healthy.	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, which was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.	11 Ουτος ειναι ο λιθος ο εξουθενηθεις εφ' υμων των οικοδομουντων, οστις εγεινε κεφαλη γωνιας.
12 And there is no salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which it is necessary for us 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 Then, seeing the constancy of Peter and John, having verified that they were men without letters or learning, they wondered. And they recognized that they had been with 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 Also, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they were unable to say anything to contradict them.	14 βλεποντες δε τον ανθρωπον τον τεθεραπευμενον ισταμενον μετ' αυτων, δεν ειχον ουδεν να αντειπωσι.
15 But they ordered them to withdraw outside, away from the council, and they conferred among themselves,	15 Προσταξαντες δε αυτους να απελθωσιν εξω του συνεδριου, συνεβουλευθησαν προς αλληλους,
16 saying: “What shall we do to these men? For certainly a public sign has been done through them, before all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It is manifest, 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 lest it spread further among the people, let us threaten them not to speak anymore in this name to any man.”	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 And calling them in, they warned 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 Yet truly, Peter and John said in response to them: “Judge whether it is just in the sight of God to listen to you, rather than to God.	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 For we are unable to refrain from speaking the things that we have seen and heard.”	20 Διοτι ημεις δεν δυναμεθα να μη λαλωμεν οσα ειδομεν και ηκουσαμεν.
21 But they, threatening them, sent them away, having not found a way that they might punish them because of the people. For all were glorifying the things that had been done in these events.	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 in whom this sign of a cure had been accomplished was more than forty years old.	22 Επειδη ο ανθρωπος, εις τον οποιον εγεινε το θαυμα τουτο της θεραπειας, ητο περισσοτερον των τεσσαρακοντα ετων.
23 Then, having been released, they went to their own, and they reported in full what the leaders of the priests and the elders had said to them.	23 Και αφου απελυθησαν, ηλθον προς τους οικειους και απηγγειλαν οσα ειπον προς αυτους οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι.
24 And when they had heard it, with one accord, they lifted up their voice to God, and they said: “Lord, you are the One who made heaven and earth, 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 who, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said: ‘Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?	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 have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ.’	26 παρεσταθησαν οι βασιλεις της γης και οι αρχοντες συνηχθησαν ομου κατα του Κυριου και κατα του Χριστου αυτου.
27 For truly Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, joined together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed	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 counsel had decreed would be done.	28 δια να καμωσιν οσα η χειρ σου και η βουλη σου προωρισε να γεινωσι?
29 And now, O Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to your servants that they may speak your word with all confidence,	29 και τωρα, Κυριε, βλεψον εις τας απειλας αυτων και δος εις τους δουλους σου να λαλωσι τον λογον σου μετα πασης παρρησιας,
30 by extending your hand in cures and signs and miracles, to be done through the name of your holy Son, Jesus.”	30 εκτεινων την χειρα σου εις θεραπειαν και γινομενων σημειων και τεραστιων δια του ονοματος του αγιου Παιδος σου Ιησου.
31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered was moved. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they were speaking the Word of God with confidence.	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 Then the multitude of believers were of one heart and one soul. Neither did anyone say that any of the things that he possessed were his own, but all things were common to them.	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 And with great power, the Apostles were rendering testimony to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord. And great grace was in 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 And neither was anyone among them in need. For as many as were owners of fields or houses, selling these, were bringing the proceeds of the things that they were selling,	34 Επειδη ουδε ητο τις μεταξυ αυτων ενδεης? διοτι οσοι ησαν κτητορες αγρων η οικιων, πωλουντες εφερον τας τιμας των πωλουμενων
35 and were placing it before the feet of the Apostles. Then it was divided to each one, just as he had need.	35 και εθετον εις τους ποδας των αποστολων? και διεμοιραζετο εις εκαστον κατα την χρειαν την οποιαν ειχε.
36 Now Joseph, who the Apostles surnamed Barnabas (which is translated as ‘son of consolation’), who was a Levite of Cyprian descent,	36 Και ο Ιωσης, ο επονομασθεις υπο των αποστολων Βαρναβας, το οποιον μεθερμηνευομενον ειναι υιος παρηγοριας Λευιτης, Κυπριος το γενος,
37 since he had land, he sold it, and he brought the proceeds and placed these at the feet of the Apostles.	37 εχων αγρον επωλησε και εφερε τα χρηματα και εθεσεν εις τους ποδας των αποστολων.
