DB1 | The Appointment of the Seven Ac.6.1-7 | KNSB Contents | notes| 6 | katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE | Passage | New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
| 6 1 | Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, the Hellenists murmured against the Hebrews because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. | The Appointment of the Seven Ac.6.1-7 (Jerusalem) | Ἐν δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις πληθυνόντων τῶν μαθητῶν ἐγένετο γογγυσμὸς τῶν Ἑλληνιστῶν πρὸς τοὺς Ἑβραίους, ὅτι παρεθεωροῦντο ἐν τῇ διακονίᾳ τῇ καθημερινῇ αἱ χῆραι αὐτῶν. |
| 2 | And the twelve summoned the body of the disciples and said, "It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. | προσκαλεσάμενοι δὲ οἱ δώδεκα τὸ πλῆθος τῶν μαθητῶν εἶπαν, Οὐκ ἀρεστόν ἐστιν ἡμᾶς καταλείψαντας τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ διακονεῖν τραπέζαις· | |
| 3 | Therefore, brethren, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint to this duty. | ἐπισκέψασθε δέ, ἀδελφοί, ἀνδρας ἐξ ὑμῶν μαρτυρουμένους ἑπτὰ πλήρεις πνεύματος καὶ σοφίας, οὓς καταστήσομεν ἐπὶ τῆς χρείας ταύτης· | |
| 4 | But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word." | ἡμεῖς δὲ τῇ προσευχῇ καὶ τῇ διακονίᾳ τοῦ λόγου προσκαρτερήσομεν. | |
| 5 | And what they said pleased the whole multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. | καὶ ἠρεσεν ὁ λόγος ἐνώπιον παντὸς τοῦ πλήθους, καὶ ἐξελέξαντο Στέφανον, ἀνδρα πλήρης πίστεως καὶ πνεύματος ἀγίου, καὶ Φίλιππον καὶ Πρόχορον καὶ Νικάνορα καὶ Τίμωνα καὶ Παρμενᾶν καὶ Νικόλαον προσήλυτον Ἀντιοχέα, | |
| 6 | These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands upon them. | οὓς ἐστησαν ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀποστόλων, καὶ προσευξάμενοι ἐπέθηκαν αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας. | |
| 7 | And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith. | Καὶ ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ ηὐξανεν, καὶ ἐπληθύνετο ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν μαθητῶν ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ σφόδρα, πολύς τε ὀχλος τῶν ἱερέων ὑπήκουον τῇ πίστει. | |
| 8 | And Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. | The Arrest of Stephen Ac.6.8-15 (Jerusalem) | Στέφανος δὲ πλήρης χάριτος καὶ δυνάμεως ἐποίει τέρατα καὶ σημεῖα μεγάλα ἐν τῷ λαῷ. |
| 9 | Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, arose and disputed with Stephen. | ἀνέστησαν δέ τινες τῶν ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς τῆς λεγομένης Λιβερτίνων καὶ Κυρηναίων καὶ Ἀλεξανδρέων καὶ τῶν ἀπὸ Κιλικίας καὶ Ἀσίας συζητοῦντες τῷ Στεφάνῳ, | |
| 10 | But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke. | καὶ οὐκ ἰσχυον ἀντιστῆναι τῇ σοφίᾳ καὶ τῷ πνεύματι ᾧ ἐλάλει. | |
| 11 | Then they secretly instigated men, who said, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God." | τότε ὑπέβαλον ἀνδρας λέγοντας ὅτι Ἀκηκόαμεν αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ῥήματα βλάσφημα εἰς Μωϋσῆν καὶ τὸν θεόν· | |
| 12 | And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, | συνεκίνησάν τε τὸν λαὸν καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ τοὺς γραμματεῖς, καὶ ἐπιστάντες συνήρπασαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἠγαγον εἰς τὸ συνέδριον, | |
| 13 | and set up false witnesses who said, "This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the law; | ἐστησάν τε μάρτυρας ψευδεῖς λέγοντας, Ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος οὐ παύεται λαλῶν ῥήματα κατὰ τοῦ τόπου τοῦ ἀγίου τούτου καὶ τοῦ νόμου· | |
| 14 | for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us." | ἀκηκόαμεν γὰρ αὐτοῦ λέγοντος ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος οὗτος καταλύσει τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἀλλάξει τὰ ἐθη ἂ παρέδωκεν ἡμῖν Μωϋσῆς. | |
| 15 | And gazing at him, all who sat at the council saw that his face was like the face of an angel. | καὶ ἀτενίσαντες εἰς αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ καθεζόμενοι ἐν τῷ συνεδρίῳ εἶδον τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ πρόσωπον ἀγγέλου. | |
| 7 1 | And the high priest said, "Is this so?" | Stephen's Speech Ac.7.1-53 (Jerusalem) | Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ ἀρχιερεύς, Εἰ ταῦτα οὑτως ἐχεὶ; |
| 2 | And Stephen said: "Brethren and fathers, hear me. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, | ὁ δὲ ἐφη, Ἀνδρες ἀδελφοὶ καὶ πατέρες, ἀκούσατε. Ὁ θεὸς τῆς δόξης ὠφθη τῷ πατρὶ ἡμῶν Ἀβραὰμ ὀντι ἐν τῇ Μεσοποταμίᾳ πρὶν ἢ κατοικῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐν Χαρράν, | |
| 3 | and said to him, 'Depart from your land and from your kindred and go into the land which I will show you.' | - Depart from your land and from your kindred Ac.7.3 | Gn.12.1 | Gn.48.4 | καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν, Ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς γῆς σου καὶ ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας σου, καὶ δεῦρο εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἄν σοι δείξω. |
| 4 | Then he departed from the land of the Chaldeans, and lived in Haran. And after his father died, God removed him from there into this land in which you are now living; | τότε ἐξελθὼν ἐκ γῆς Χαλδαίων κατῴκησεν ἐν Χαρράν. κἀκεῖθεν μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ μετῴκισεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην εἰς ἣν ὑμεῖς νῦν κατοικεῖτε, | |
| 5 | yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot's length, but promised to give it to him in possession and to his posterity after him, though he had no child. | - Ac.7.5 | Dt.2.5 | καὶ οὐκ ἐδωκεν αὐτῷ κληρονομίαν ἐν αὐτῇ οὐδὲ βῆμα ποδός, καὶ ἐπηγγείλατο δοῦναι αὐτῷ εἰς κατάσχεσιν αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ μετ' αὐτόν, οὐκ ὀντος αὐτῷ τέκνου. |
| 6 | And God spoke to this effect, that his posterity would be aliens in a land belonging to others, who would enslave them and ill-treat them four hundred years. | - his posterity would be aliens in a land belonging to others Ac.7.6 | Gn.15.13-14 | Ex.3.12 | Ex.12.40 | ἐλάλησεν δὲ οὑτως ὁ θεὸς ὅτι ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ πάροικον ἐν γῇ ἀλλοτρίᾳ, καὶ δουλώσουσιν αὐτὸ καὶ κακώσουσιν ἔτη τετρακόσια· |
| 7 | 'But I will judge the nation which they serve,' said God, 'and after that they shall come out and worship me in this place.' | καὶ τὸ ἔθνος ᾧ ἐὰν δουλεύσουσιν κρινῶ ἐγώ, ὁ θεὸς εἶπεν, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐξελεύσονται καὶ λατρεύσουσίν μοι ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ. | |
| 8 | And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs. | καὶ ἐδωκεν αὐτῷ διαθήκην περιτομῆς· καὶ οὑτως ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ περιέτεμεν αὐτὸν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ, καὶ Ἰσαὰκ τὸν Ἰακώβ, καὶ Ἰακὼβ τοὺς δώδεκα πατριάρχας. | |
| 9 | "And the patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt; but God was with him, | Καὶ οἱ πατριάρχαι ζηλώσαντες τὸν Ἰωσὴφ ἀπέδοντο εἰς Αἰγυπτον· καὶ ἦν ὁ θεὸς μετ' αὐτοῦ, | |
| 10 | and rescued him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over Egypt and over all his household. | - and rescued him out of all his afflictions Ac.7.10 | Gn.41.37-39 | Gn.41.40 | Ps.105.21 | καὶ ἐξείλατο αὐτὸν ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ χάριν καὶ σοφίαν ἐναντίον Φαραὼ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἡγούμενον ἐπ' Αἴγυπτον καὶ ἐφ' ὅλον τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ. |
| 11 | Now there came a famine throughout all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers could find no food. | - Now there came a famine throughout all Egypt and Canaan Ac.7.11 | Gn.41.54 | Gn.42.5 | ἦλθεν δὲ λιμὸς ἐφ' ὅλην τὴν Αἴγυπτον καὶ Χανάαν καὶ θλῖψις μεγάλη, καὶ οὐχ ηὑρισκον χορτάσματα οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν. |
| 12 | But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time. | ἀκούσας δὲ Ἰακὼβ ὀντα σιτία εἰς Αἰγυπτον ἐξαπέστειλεν τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν πρῶτον· | |
| 13 | And at the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh. | καὶ ἐν τῷ δευτέρῳ ἀνεγνωρίσθη Ἰωσὴφ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ φανερὸν ἐγένετο τῷ Φαραὼ τὸ γένος τοῦ Ἰωσήφ. | |
| 14 | And Joseph sent and called to him Jacob his father and all his kindred, seventy-five souls; | ἀποστείλας δὲ Ἰωσὴφ μετεκαλέσατο Ἰακὼβ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν συγγένειαν ἐν ψυχαῖς ἑβδομήκοντα πέντε, | |
| 15 | and Jacob went down into Egypt. And he died, himself and our fathers, | καὶ κατέβη Ἰακὼβ εἰς Αἰγυπτον. καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν, | |
| 16 | and they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem. | καὶ μετετέθησαν εἰς Συχὲμ καὶ ἐτέθησαν ἐν τῷ μνήματι ᾧ ὠνήσατο Ἀβραὰμ τιμῆς ἀργυρίου παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἑμμὼρ ἐν Συχέμ. | |
| 17 | "But as the time of the promise drew near, which God had granted to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt | Καθὼς δὲ ἠγγιζεν ὁ χρόνος τῆς ἐπαγγελίας ἧς ὡμολόγησεν ὁ θεὸς τῷ Ἀβραάμ, ηὐξησεν ὁ λαὸς καὶ ἐπληθύνθη ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, | |
| 18 | till there arose over Egypt another king who had not known Joseph. | ἀχρι οὗ ἀνέστη βασιλεὺς ἑτερος ἐπ' Αἰγυπτον ὃς οὐκ ᾐδει τὸν Ἰωσήφ. | |
| 19 | He dealt craftily with our race and forced our fathers to expose their infants, that they might not be kept alive. | οὗτος κατασοφισάμενος τὸ γένος ἡμῶν ἐκάκωσεν τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν τοῦ ποιεῖν τὰ βρέφη ἐκθετα αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ μὴ ζῳογονεῖσθαι. | |
| 20 | At this time Moses was born, and was beautiful before God. And he was brought up for three months in his father's house; | ἐν ᾧ καιρῷ ἐγεννήθη Μωϋσῆς, καὶ ἦν ἀστεῖος τῷ θεῷ· ὃς ἀνετράφη μῆνας τρεῖς ἐν τῷ οἰκῳ τοῦ πατρός· | |
| 21 | and when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son. | ἐκτεθέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀνείλατο αὐτὸν ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραὼ καὶ ἀνεθρέψατο αὐτὸν ἑαυτῇ εἰς υἱόν. | |
| 22 | And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds. | καὶ ἐπαιδεύθη Μωϋσῆς ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ Αἰγυπτίων, ἦν δὲ δυνατὸς ἐν λόγοις καὶ ἐργοις αὐτοῦ. | |
| 23 | "When he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel. | Ὡς δὲ ἐπληροῦτο αὐτῷ τεσσερακονταετὴς χρόνος, ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπισκέψασθαι τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ. | |
| 24 | And seeing one of them being wronged, he defended the oppressed man and avenged him by striking the Egyptian. | καὶ ἰδών τινα ἀδικούμενον ἠμύνατο καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐκδίκησιν τῷ καταπονουμένῳ πατάξας τὸν Αἰγύπτιον. | |
| 25 | He supposed that his brethren understood that God was giving them deliverance by his hand, but they did not understand. | ἐνόμιζεν δὲ συνιέναι τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ὁ θεὸς διὰ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ δίδωσιν σωτηρίαν αὐτοῖς, οἱ δὲ οὐ συνῆκαν. | |
| 26 | And on the following day he appeared to them as they were quarreling and would have reconciled them, saying, 'Men, you are brethren, why do you wrong each other?' | τῇ τε ἐπιούσῃ ἡμέρᾳ ὠφθη αὐτοῖς μαχομένοις καὶ συνήλλασσεν αὐτοὺς εἰς εἰρήνην εἰπών, Ἀνδρες, ἀδελφοί ἐστε· ἵνατί ἀδικεῖτε ἀλλήλους; | |
| 27 | But the man who was wronging his neighbour thrust him aside, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? | - Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? Ac.7.27 | Lk.12.14 | ὁ δὲ ἀδικῶν τὸν πλησίον ἀπώσατο αὐτὸν εἰπών, Tίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστὴν ἐφ' ἡμῶν; |
| 28 | Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday? | μὴ ἀνελεῖν με σὺ θέλεις ὃν τρόπον ἀνεῖλες ἐχθὲς τὸν Αἰγύπτιον; | |
| 29 | At this retort Moses fled, and became an exile in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons. | ἐφυγεν δὲ Μωϋσῆς ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ, καὶ ἐγένετο πάροικος ἐν γῇ Μαδιάμ, οὗ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς δύο. | |
| 30 | "Now when forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush. | - in a flame of fire in a bush. Ac.7.30 | Ex.3.2 | Dt.33.16 | Καὶ πληρωθέντων ἐτῶν τεσσεράκοντα ὤφθη αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ ὄρους Σινᾶ ἄγγελος ἐν φλογὶ πυρὸς βάτου. |
| 31 | When Moses saw it he wondered at the sight; and as he drew near to look, the voice of the Lord came, | ὁ δὲ Μωϋσῆς ἰδὼν ἐθαύμαζεν τὸ ὁραμα· προσερχομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ κατανοῆσαι ἐγένετο φωνὴ κυρίου, | |
| 32 | 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob.' And Moses trembled and did not dare to look. | - I am the God of your fathers Ac.7.32 | Ex.3.6 | Ἐγὼ ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σου, ὁ θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακώβ. ἐντρομος δὲ γενόμενος Μωϋσῆς οὐκ ἐτόλμα κατανοῆσαι. |
| 33 | And the Lord said to him, 'Take off the shoes from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. | - where you are standing is holy ground. Ac.7.33 | Ex.3.5 | Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος, Λῦσον τὸ ὑπόδημα τῶν ποδῶν σου, ὁ γὰρ τόπος ἐφ' ᾧ ἕστηκας γῆ ἁγία ἐστίν. |
| 34 | I have surely seen the ill-treatment of my people that are in Egypt and heard their groaning, and I have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt.' | - I have surely seen the ill-treatment of my people Ac.7.34 | Ex.3.7-10 | Ex.2.24 | ἰδὼν εἶδον τὴν κάκωσιν τοῦ λαοῦ μου τοῦ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ τοῦ στεναγμοῦ αὐτῶν ἤκουσα, καὶ κατέβην ἐξελέσθαι αὐτούς· καὶ νῦν δεῦρο ἀποστείλω σε εἰς Αἴγυπτον. |
| 35 | "This Moses whom they refused, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?' God sent as both ruler and deliverer by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush. | - that appeared to him in the bush. Ac.7.35 | Ex.2.14 | Τοῦτον τὸν Μωϋσῆν, ὃν ἠρνήσαντο εἰπόντες,Tίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστήν; τοῦτον ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἀρχοντα καὶ λυτρωτὴν ἀπέσταλκεν σὺν χειρὶ ἀγγέλου τοῦ ὀφθέντος αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ βάτῳ. |
| 36 | He led them out, having performed wonders and signs in Egypt and at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years. | οὗτος ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ποιήσας τέρατα καὶ σημεῖα ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ἐν Ἐρυθρᾷ Θαλάσσῃ καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐτη τεσσεράκοντα. | |
| 37 | This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, 'God will raise up for you a prophet from your brethren as he raised me up.' | - God will raise up for you a prophet from your brethren Ac.7.37 | Dt.18.15 | οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Μωϋσῆς ὁ εἰπας τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, Προφήτην ὑμῖν ἀναστήσει ὁ θεὸς ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν ὡς ἐμέ. |
| 38 | This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; and he received living oracles to give to us. | οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ γενόμενος ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ μετὰ τοῦ ἀγγέλου τοῦ λαλοῦντος αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ ὀρει Σινᾶ καὶ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, ὃς ἐδέξατο λόγια ζῶντα δοῦναι ἡμ ῖν, | |
| 39 | Our fathers refused to obey him, but thrust him aside, and in their hearts they turned to Egypt, | ᾧ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν ὑπήκοοι γενέσθαι οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἀλλὰ ἀπώσαντο καὶ ἐστράφησαν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν εἰς Αἰγυπτον, | |
| 40 | saying to Aaron, 'Make for us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.' | - Make for us gods to go before us Ac.7.40 | Ex.32.1 | Ex.32.23 | εἰπόντες τῷ Ἀαρών, Ποίησον ἡμῖν θεοὺς οἳ προπορεύσονται ἡμῶν· ὁ γὰρ μωϋσῆς οὗτος, ὃς ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐκ γῆς αἰγύπτου, οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί ἐγένετο αὐτῷ. |
| 41 | And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol and rejoiced in the works of their hands. | καὶ ἐμοσχοποίησαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἀνήγαγον θυσίαν τῷ εἰδώλῳ, καὶ εὐφραίνοντο ἐν τοῖς ἐργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν. | |
| 42 | But God turned and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: 'Did you offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices, | - Did you offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices Ac.7.42 | Am.5.25-27 | ἐστρεψεν δὲ ὁ θεὸς καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς λατρεύειν τῇ στρατιᾷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν βίβλῳ τῶν προφητῶν, Mὴ σφάγια καὶ θυσίας προσηνέγκατέ μοι |
| 43 | And you took up the tent of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship; and I will remove you beyond Babylon.' | - And you took up the tent of Moloch Ac.7.43 | Ex.27.21 | Ex.25.40 | καὶ ἀνελάβετε τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ Μολὸχ καὶ τὸ ἄστρον τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν Ῥαιφάν, τοὺς τύπους οὓς ἐποιήσατε προσκυνεῖν αὐτοῖς· καὶ μετοικιῶ ὑμᾶς ἐπέκεινα Βαβυλῶνος. |
| 44 | "Our fathers had the tent of witness in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses directed him to make it, according to the pattern that he had seen. | Ἡ σκηνὴ τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἦν τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καθὼς διετάξατο ὁ λαλῶν τῷ Μωϋσῇ ποιῆσαι αὐτὴν κατὰ τὸν τύπον ὃν ἑωράκει, | |
| 45 | Our fathers in turn brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations which God thrust out before our fathers. So it was until the days of David, | ἣν καὶ εἰσήγαγον διαδεξάμενοι οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν μετὰ Ἰησοῦ ἐν τῇ κατασχέσει τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξῶσεν ὁ θεὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἑως τῶν ἡμερῶν Δαυίδ, | |
| 46 | who found favour in the sight of God and asked leave to find a habitation for the God of Jacob. | ὃς εὗρεν χάριν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ᾐτήσατο εὑρεῖν σκήνωμα τῷ οἰκῳ Ἰακώβ. | |
| 47 | But it was Solomon who built a house for him. | Σολομῶν δὲ οἰκοδόμησεν αὐτῷ οἶκον. | |
| 48 | Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made with hands; as the prophet says, | ἀλλ' οὐχ ὁ ὑψιστος ἐν χειροποιήτοις κατοικεῖ· καθὼς ὁ προφήτης λέγει, | |
| 49 | 'Heaven is my throne, and earth my footstool. What house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest? | - Heaven is my throne, and earth my footstool Ac.7.49 | Is.66.1-2 | Ὁ οὐρανός μοι θρόνος, ἡ δὲ γῆ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν μου· ποῖον οἶκον οἰκοδομήσετέ μοι, λέγει κύριος, ἢ τίς τόπος τῆς καταπαύσεώς μου; |
| 50 | Did not my hand make all these things? | οὐχὶ ἡ χείρ μου ἐποίησεν ταῦτα πάντα; | |
| 51 | "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. | Σκληροτράχηλοι καὶ ἀπερίτμητοι καρδίαις καὶ τοῖς ὠσίν, ὑμεῖς ἀεὶ τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἀγίῳ ἀντιπίπτετε, ὡς οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ ὑμεῖς. | |
| 52 | Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered, | τίνα τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἐδίωξαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν; καὶ ἀπέκτειναν τοὺς προκαταγγείλαντας περὶ τῆς ἐλεύσεως τοῦ δικαίου οὗ νῦν ὑμεῖς προδόται καὶ φονεῖς ἐγένεσθε, | |
| 53 | you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it." | οἱτινες ἐλάβετε τὸν νόμον εἰς διαταγὰς ἀγγέλων, καὶ οὐκ ἐφυλάξατε. | |
| 54 | Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth against him. | The Stoning of Stephen Ac.7.54-8.1 (Jerusalem) | Ἀκούοντες δὲ ταῦτα διεπρίοντο ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν καὶ ἐβρυχον τοὺς ὀδόντας ἐπ' αὐτόν. |
| 55 | But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; | ὑπάρχων δὲ πλήρης πνεύματος ἀγίου ἀτενίσας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εἶδεν δόξαν θεοῦ καὶ Ἰησοῦν ἑστῶτα ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ θεοῦ, | |
| 56 | and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God." | καὶ εἶπεν, Ἰδοὺ θεωρῶ τοὺς οὐρανοὺς διηνοιγμένους καὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκ δεξιῶν ἑστῶτα τοῦ θεοῦ. | |
| 57 | But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together upon him. | κράξαντες δὲ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ συνέσχον τὰ ὦτα αὐτῶν, καὶ ὡρμησαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐπ' αὐτόν, | |
| 58 | Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. | καὶ ἐκβαλόντες ἐξω τῆς πόλεως ἐλιθοβόλουν. καὶ οἱ μάρτυρες ἀπέθεντο τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας νεανίου καλου μένου Σαύλου. | |
| 59 | And as they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." | καὶ ἐλιθοβόλουν τὸν Στέφανον ἐπικαλούμενον καὶ λέγοντα, Κύριε Ἰησοῦ, δέξαι τὸ πνεῦμά μου. | |
| 60 | And he knelt down and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." And when he had said this, he fell asleep. | θεὶς δὲ τὰ γόνατα ἐκραξεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, Κύριε, μὴ στήσῃς αὐτοῖς ταύτην τὴν ἀμαρτίαν. καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐκοιμήθη. | |
