| 14 | But Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: 'Fellow Jews, and all you who live in Jerusalem, mark this and give me a hearing. | Peter's Speech at Pentecost Ac.2.14-3.10 (Jerusalem) | Σταθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος σὺν τοῖς ἑνδεκα ἐπῆρεν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπεφθέγξατο αὐτοῖς, Ἄνδρες Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἰερουσαλὴμ πάντες, τοῦτο ὑμῖν γνωστὸν ἐστω καὶ ἐνωτίσασθε τὰ ῥήματά μου. |
| 15 | These men are not drunk, as you imagine; for it is only nine in the morning. | οὐ γὰρ ὡς ὑμεῖς ὑπολαμβάνετε οὗτοι μεθύουσιν, ἐστιν γὰρ ὡρα τρίτη τῆς ἡμέρας, | |
| 16 | No, this is what the prophet spoke of: | ἀλλὰ τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ εἰρημένον διὰ τοῦ προφήτου Ἰωήλ, | |
| 17 | "God says, 'This will happen in the last days: I will pour out upon everyone a portion of my spirit; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy; your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. | - I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh Ac.2.17-21 | Jl.2.28-32 | Καὶ ἔσται ἐν ταῖς ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις, λέγει ὁ θεός, ἐκχεῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματός μου ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα, καὶ προφητεύσουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν, καὶ οἱ νεανίσκοι ὑμῶν ὁράσεις ὄψονται, καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ὑμῶν ἐνυπνίοις ἐνυπνιασθήσ-σονται· |
| 18 | Yes, I will endue even my slaves, both men and women, with a portion of my spirit, and they shall prophesy. | καί γε ἐπὶ τοὺς δούλους μου καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς δούλας μου ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐκχεῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματός μου, καὶ προφητεύσουσιν. | |
| 19 | And I will show portents in the sky above, and signs on the earth below-blood and fire and drifting smoke. | καὶ δώσω τέρατα ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω καὶ σημεῖα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κάτω, αἷμα καὶ πῦρ καὶ ἀτμίδα καπνοῦ· | |
| 20 | The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before that great, resplendent day, the day of the Lord, shall come. | ὁ ἥλιος μεταστραφήσεται εἰς σκότος καὶ ἡ σελήνη εἰς αἷμα πρὶν ἐλθεῖν ἡμέραν κυρίου τὴν μεγάλην καὶ ἐπιφανῆ. | |
| 21 | And then, everyone who invokes the name of the Lord shall be saved.'" | καὶ ἔσται πᾶς ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου σωθήσεται. | |
| 22 | 'Men of Israel, listen to me: I speak of Jesus of Nazareth, a man singled out by God and made known to you through miracles, portents, and signs, which God worked among you through him, as you well know. | Ac.2.22-39 | Ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται, ἀκούσατε τοὺς λόγους τούτους· Ἰησοῦν τὸν Ναζωραῖον, ἀνδρα ἀποδεδειγμένον ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς δυνάμεσι καὶ τέρασι καὶ σημείοις οἷς ἐποίησεν δῖ αὐτου ' ὁ θεὸς ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν, καθὼς αὐτοὶ οἴδατε, |
| 23 | When he had been given up to you, by the deliberate will and plan of God, you used heathen men to crucify and kill him. | τοῦτον τῇ ὡρισμένῃ βουλῇ καὶ προγνώσει τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκδοτον διὰ χειρὸς ἀνόμων προσπήξαντες ἀνείλατε, | |
| 24 | But God raised him to life again, setting him free from the pangs of death, because it could not be that death should keep him in its grip. | ὃν ὁ θεὸς ἀνέστησεν λύσας τὰς ὠδῖνας τοῦ θανάτου, καθότι οὐκ ἦν δυνατὸν κρατεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ὑπ' αὐτοῦ· | |
| 25 | 'For David says of him:
For he is at my right hand so that I may not be shaken; | - I saw the Lord always before me Ac.2.25-28 | Ps.16.8-11 | Δαυὶδ γὰρ λέγει εἰς αὐτόν, Προορώμην τὸν κύριον ἐνώπιόν μου διὰ παντός, |
| 26 | Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue spoke my joy; Moreover, my flesh shall dwell in hope, | διὰ τοῦτο ηὐφράνθη ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἠγαλλιάσατο ἡ γλῶσσά μου, ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου κατασκηνώσει ἐπ' ἐλπίδι· | |
| 27 | For thou wilt not abandon my soul to death, Nor let thy loyal servant suffer corruption. | ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ᾅδην, οὐδὲ δώσεις τὸν ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν. | |
| 28 | Thou hast shown me the ways of life, Thou wilt fill me with gladness by thy presence." | ἐγνώρισάς μοι ὁδοὺς ζωῆς, πληρώσεις με εὐφροσύνης μετὰ τοῦ προσώπου σου. | |
| 29 | 'Let me tell you plainly, my friends, that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this very day. | Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ἐξὸν εἰπεῖν μετὰ παρρησίας πρὸς ὑμᾶς περὶ τοῦ πατριάρχου Δαυίδ, ὅτι καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν καὶ ἐτάφη καὶ τὸ μνῆμα αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἐν ἡμῖν ἀχρι τῆς ἡμέρας ταύ της· | |
| 30 | It is clear therefore that he spoke as a prophet who knew that God had sworn to him that one of his own direct descendants should sit on his throne; | προφήτης οὖν ὑπάρχων, καὶ εἰδὼς ὅτι ὁρκῳ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς ἐκ καρποῦ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ καθίσαι ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ, | |
| 31 | and when he said he was not abandoned to death, and his flesh never suffered corruption, he spoke with foreknowledge of the resurrection of the Messiah. | προϊδὼν ἐλάλησεν περὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τοῦ Χριστοῦ ὅτι οὔτε ἐγκατελείφθη εἰς ᾅδην | |
| 32 | The Jesus we speak of has been raised by God, as we can all bear witness. | τοῦτον τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἀνέστησεν ὁ θεός, οὗ πάντες ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν μάρτυρες. | |
| 33 | Exalted thus with Or: at. God's right hand, he received the Holy Spirit from the Father, as was promised, and all that you now see and hear flows from him. | τῇ δεξιᾷ οὖν τοῦ θεοῦ ὑψωθεὶς τήν τε ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἀγίου λαβὼν παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἐξέχεεν τοῦτο ὃ ὑμεῖς καὶ βλέπετε καὶ ἀκούετε. | |
| 34 | For it was not David who went up to heaven, his own words are: "The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand | - till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet Ac.2.34-35 | Ps.110.1 | οὐ γὰρ Δαυὶδ ἀνέβη εἰς τοὺς οὐρανούς, λέγει δὲ αὐτός, Εἶπεν ὁ κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου, |
| 35 | until I make your enemies your footstool.'" | ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου. | |
| 36 | Let all Israel then accept as certain that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.' | ἀσφαλῶς οὖν γινωσκέτω πᾶς οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι καὶ κύριον αὐτὸν καὶ Χριστὸν ἐποίησεν ὁ θεός, τοῦτον τὸν Ἰησοῦν ὃν ὑμεῖς ἐσταυρώσατε. | |
| 37 | When they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the apostles, Some witnesses read: the rest of the apostles. 'Friends, what are we to do?' | Ἀκούσαντες δὲ κατενύγησαν τὴν καρδίαν, εἶπόν τε πρὸς τὸν Πέτρον καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς ἀποστόλους, Τί ποιήσωμεν, ἀνδρες ἀδελφοί; | |
| 38 | 'Repent,' said Peter, 'repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus the Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. | Πέτρος δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς, Μετανοήσατε, καὶ βαπτισθήτω ἑκαστος ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς ἀφεσιν τῶν ἀμαρτιῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ λήμψεσθε τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ ἀγίου πνεύματος· | |
| 39 | For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God may call.' | ὑμῖν γάρ ἐστιν ἡ ἐπαγγελία καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς εἰς μακρὰν ὁσους ἂν προσκαλέσηται κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν. | |
| 40 | In these and many other words he pressed his case and pleaded with them: 'Save yourselves', he said, 'from this crooked age.' | ἑτέροις τε λόγοις πλείοσιν διεμαρΤύρατο, καὶ παρεκάλει αὐτοὺς λέγων, Σώθητε ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς τῆς σκολιᾶς ταύτης. | |
| 41 | Then those who accepted his word were baptized, and some three thousand were added to their number that day. | οἱ μὲν οὖν ἀποδεξάμενοι τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθησαν, καὶ προσετέθησαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ψυχαὶ ὡσεὶ τρισχίλιαι. | |
| 42 | They met constantly to hear the apostles teach, and to share the common life, to break bread, and to pray. | ἦσαν δὲ προσκαρτεροῦντες τῇ διδαχῇ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ τῇ κοινωνίᾳ, τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἀρτου καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς. | |
| 43 | A sense of awe was everywhere, and many marvels and signs were brought about through the apostles. | Ἐγίνετο δὲ πάσῃ ψυχῇ φόβος, πολλά τε τέρατα καὶ σημεῖα διὰ τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο. | |
| 44 | All whose faith had drawn them together held everything in common: Or: All who had become believers held everything together in common. | πάντες δὲ οἱ πιστεύοντες ἦσαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ εἶχον ἀπαντα κοινά, | |
| 45 | they would sell their property and possessions and make a general distribution as the need of each required. | καὶ τὰ κτήματα καὶ τὰς ὑπάρξεις ἐπίπρασκον καὶ διεμέριζον αὐτὰ πᾶσιν καθότι ἀν τις χρείαν εἶχεν· | |
| 46 | With one mind they kept up their daily attendance at the temple, and, breaking bread in private houses, shared their meals with unaffected joy, | καθ' ἡμέραν τε προσκαρτεροῦντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, κλῶντές τε κατ' οἶκον ἀρτον, μετελάμβανον τροφῆς ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει καὶ ἀφελότητι καρδίας, | |
| 47 | as they praised God and enjoyed the favour of the whole people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those whom he was saving. | αἰνοῦντες τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἐχοντες χάριν πρὸς ὁλον τὸν λαόν. ὁ δὲ κύριος προσετίθει τοὺς σῳζομένους καθ' ἡμέραν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό. | |
| 3 1 | ONE DAY at three in the afternoon, the hour of prayer, Peter and John were on their way up to the temple. | The lame man healed at the gate of the Temple Acts 3:1-10 (Beautiful Gate, The Temple, Jerusalem) | Πέτρος δὲ καὶ Ἰωάννης ἀνέβαινον εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἐπὶ τὴν ὡραν τῆς προσευχῆς τὴν ἐνάτην. |
| 2 | Now a man who had been a cripple from birth used to be carried there and laid every day by the gate of the temple called 'Beautiful Gate', to beg from people as they went in. | καί τις ἀνὴρ χωλὸς ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ ὑπάρχων ἐβαστάζετο, ὃν ἐτίθουν καθ' ἡμέραν πρὸς τὴν θύραν τοῦ ἱεροῦ τὴν λεγομένην ὡραίαν τοῦ αἰτεῖν ἐλεημοσύνην παρὰ τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὸ ἱερόν· | |
| 3 | When he saw Peter and John on their way into the temple he asked for charity. | ὃς ἰδὼν Πέτρον καὶ Ἰωάννην μέλλοντας εἰσιέναι εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἠρώτα ἐλεημοσύνην λαβεῖν. | |
| 4 | But Peter fixed his eyes on him, as John did also, and said, 'Look at us.' | ἀτενίσας δὲ Πέτρος εἰς αὐτὸν σὺν τῷ Ἰωάννῃ εἶπεν, Βλέψον εἰς ἡμᾶς. | |
| 5 | Expecting a gift from them, the man was all attention. | ὁ δὲ ἐπεῖχεν αὐτοῖς προσδοκῶν τι παρ' αὐτῶν λαβεῖν. | |
| 6 | And Peter said, 'I have no silver or gold; but what I have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.' | εἶπεν δὲ Πέτρος, Ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον οὐχ ὑπάρχει μοι, ὃ δὲ ἐχω τοῦτό σοι δίδωμι· ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου περιπάτει. | |
| 7 | Then he grasped him by the right hand and pulled him up; and at once his feet and ankles grew strong; | καὶ πιάσας αὐτὸν τῆς δεξιᾶς χειρὸς ἠγειρεν αὐτόν· παραχρῆμα δὲ ἐστερεώθησαν αἱ βάσεις αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ σφυδρά, | |
| 8 | he sprang up, stood on his feet, and started to walk. He entered the temple with them, leaping and praising God as he went. | καὶ ἐξαλλόμενος ἐστη καὶ περιεπάτει, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν σὺν αὐτοῖς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν περιπατῶν καὶ ἀλλόμενος καὶ αἰνῶν τὸν θεόν. | |
| 9 | Everyone saw him walking and praising God, | καὶ εἶδεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτὸν περιπατοῦντα καὶ αἰνοῦντα τὸν θεόν, | |
| 10 | and when they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at Beautiful Gate, they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. | ἐπεγίνωσκον δὲ αὐτὸν ὅτι αὐτὸς ἦν ὁ πρὸς τὴν ἐλεημοσύνην καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῇ Ὡραίᾳ Πύλῃ τοῦ ἱεροῦ, καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν θάμβους καὶ ἐκστάσεως ἐπὶ τῷ συμβεβηκότι αὐτῷ. | |
