\subsection{Acts 4}
|
|
\VS{1} Now while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of
|
|
the temple and the Sadducees approached them,
|
|
\VS{2} [greatly] annoyed because of
|
|
their teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the
|
|
dead,
|
|
\VS{3} and they put [their] hands upon them and placed them in prison to
|
|
[the] morrow; for it was already evening.
|
|
\VS{4} Now many of those having heard
|
|
the word believed, and the number of men became [about] five thousand.
|
|
|
|
\VS{5} Now it came [about] on the morrow [there were] gathered of them the rulers and the elders and the scribes in Jerusalem,
|
|
\VS{6} and Annas the chief priest and
|
|
Caiaphas and John and Alexander and as many as were of the
|
|
generation\footnote{or ``relatives'', ``descendants''} of chief priests,
|
|
\VS{7} and having stood them in the midst they were questioning them:
|
|
In\footnote{or ``By''} what sort of name do you do this?
|
|
\VS{8} And then
|
|
Peter having been filled of the Holy Spirit said to them: Rulers and elders
|
|
of the people,
|
|
\VS{9} if we today are judged weak upon the good-deeds of
|
|
men, by which this [one] is saved,
|
|
\VS{10} let\fnImperative{} it be known
|
|
to all you and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ
|
|
the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from [the] dead, in\footnote{or
|
|
``by''} this [one] does this [lame one] stand before you healthy.
|
|
\VS{11} This is the stone
|
|
rejected by you the builders, the [one] having become the chief cornerstone\footnote{Ps.118:22}.
|
|
\VS{12} And salvation is in\footnote{or ``by''} \negd{no} other; for
|
|
neither is there another name given under in which you must\footnote{i.e.
|
|
absolutely will} be saved.
|
|
\VS{13} Now seeing the boldness of Peter and
|
|
John, and understanding that they are unlettered and unskilled men, they
|
|
were marveling, and they were knowing that they were with Jesus,
|
|
\VS{14} and
|
|
seeing the man having been healed standing with them, they had nothing to
|
|
criticize.
|
|
\VS{15} So having commanded them to go out from the council, they
|
|
conferred with each other
|
|
\VS{16} saying: What should we do to these men?
|
|
For indeed it is today become known through them, manifest to all those
|
|
dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it.
|
|
\VS{17} But in order
|
|
that it not be more distributed to the crowd, let us threaten them to
|
|
\negd{no longer} be speaking upon this name to any men.
|
|
\VS{18} And having called them they commanded [them] completely
|
|
not to be uttering nor to be teaching upon the name of Jesus.
|
|
\VS{19} But Peter and John answering said
|
|
to them: If it is just before God, to be hearing\footnote{i.e. ``obeying''}
|
|
you rather than God, [you] judge.
|
|
\VS{20} For we are not able to not be speaking
|
|
[about] what we have seen and heard.
|
|
\VS{21} So having further threatened [them] they
|
|
dismissed them out, finding nothing [as to] how they many punish them, because of
|
|
the people, for everyone was glorifying God upon the [things] having come to pass,
|
|
\VS{22} for the man was more than forty years [old] upon whom came to pass this
|
|
sign of healing.
|
|
\VS{23} So having been dismissed, they came to their own
|
|
and reported to them as much as the chief priests and elders said to them.
|
|
\VS{24} So having heard, they with one purpose raised [their] voice to God and
|
|
said: Lord\fnDespotes(), you [are] the [one] having made the heaven and the earth and everything in them,
|
|
\VS{25} the [one] having said from the mouth of our father
|
|
David your child through the Holy Spirit\footnote{Ps.2:1-2}:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Why have the nations raged \\
|
|
And the peoples conspire empty [things]? \\
|
|
\VS{26} The kings of the land have taken [their] stand \\
|
|
Against the Lord and against his anointed\footnote{[CHRISTOS]} [one].
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{27} For they were in truth gathered in this city against your holy child
|
|
Jesus, whom you anointed, and Herod and Pontius Pilate with the nations and
|
|
peoples of Israel,
|
|
\VS{28} to do as much as your hand and your intention
|
|
predestined to come to pass.
|
|
\VS{29} And with respect to now, Lord, look
|
|
upon their threats, and give to your slaves with all boldness to be speaking
|
|
your word,
|
|
\VS{30} when you be stretching out [your] hand to healings and signs
|
|
and wonders to come to pass through the name [of your] holy child Jesus.
|
|
\VS{31} And
|
|
when they had asked, the place in which they were gathered shook, and they
|
|
were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they were speaking the word of God
|
|
with boldness.
|
|
\VS{32} Now the multitudes of those having believed were of
|
|
one heart and psyche-life\fnPsyche{}, and [there was] not one possessing anything to him [who] was saying he
|
|
was having his own [thing], but they were having everything common.
|
|
\VS{33} And
|
|
with great powers were the apostles of the Lord Jesus giving witness of the
|
|
resurrection, and great joy was upon them all.
|
|
\VS{34} For neither was any
|
|
impoverished among them, for as many as were possessors of lands or houses,
|
|
having sold [them] they were bringing the price of the [things] being sold,
|
|
\VS{35} and
|
|
were placing them beside the feet of the apostles, and they were
|
|
distributing to each to the degree anyone had need.
|
|
\VS{36} And Joseph the
|
|
[one] called Barnabbas by the apostles, which is being translated Son of
|
|
Encouragement, [a] Levite, of the people of Cypris,
|
|
\VS{37} possessing to him
|
|
[a] field, having sold [it], brought the money and placed it before the feet of the
|
|
apostles.
