AND as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

Λαλούντων δὲ αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ἐπέστησαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ ὁ στρατηγὸς τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ οἱ Σαδδουκαῖοι,

[Заⷱ҇ 10] Глаго́лющымъ же и҆̀мъ къ лю́демъ, наидо́ша на ни́хъ свѧще́нницы и҆ воево́да церко́вный и҆ саддꙋке́є,

2

Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

διαπονούμενοι διὰ τὸ διδάσκειν αὐτοὺς τὸν λαὸν καὶ καταγγέλλειν ἐν τῷ Ἰησοῦ τὴν ἀνάστασιν τῶν νεκρῶν·

жа́лѧще сѝ, за є҆́же ᲂу҆чи́ти и҆̀мъ лю́ди и҆ возвѣща́ти ѡ҆ і҆и҃сѣ воскрⷭ҇нїе ме́ртвыхъ:

3

And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.

καὶ ἐπέβαλον αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ ἔθεντο εἰς τήρησιν εἰς τὴν αὔριον· ἦν γὰρ ἑσπέρα ἤδη.

и҆ возложи́ша на ни́хъ рꙋ́ки и҆ положи́ша и҆̀хъ въ соблюде́нїе до ᲂу҆́трїѧ: бѣ́ бо ве́черъ ᲂу҆жѐ.

4

Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

πολλοὶ δὲ τῶν ἀκουσάντων τὸν λόγον ἐπίστευσαν, καὶ ἐγενήθη ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ὡσεὶ χιλιάδες πέντε.

Мно́зи же ѿ слы́шавшихъ сло́во вѣ́роваша: и҆ бы́сть число̀ мꙋже́й ꙗ҆́кѡ ты́сѧщъ пѧ́ть.

5

And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν αὔριον συναχθῆναι αὐτῶν τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ γραμματεῖς εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ,

Бы́сть же наꙋ́трїе собра́тисѧ кнѧзє́мъ и҆́хъ и҆ ста́рцємъ и҆ кни́жникѡмъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ,

6

And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

καὶ Ἄνναν τὸν ἀρχιερέα καὶ Καϊάφαν καὶ Ἰωάννην καὶ Ἀλέξανδρον καὶ ὅσοι ἦσαν ἐκ γένους ἀρχιερατικοῦ,

и҆ а҆́ннѣ а҆рхїере́ю и҆ каїа́фѣ и҆ і҆ѡа́ннꙋ и҆ а҆леѯа́ндрꙋ, и҆ є҆ли́цы бѣ́ша ѿ ро́да а҆рхїере́йска:

7

And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?

καὶ στήσαντες αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ μέσῳ ἐπυνθάνοντο· ἐν ποίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ ἐν ποίῳ ὀνόματι ἐποιήσατε τοῦτο ὑμεῖς;

и҆ поста́вльше и҆̀хъ посредѣ̀, вопроша́хꙋ: ко́ею си́лою и҆лѝ ко́имъ и҆́менемъ сотвори́сте сїѐ вы̀;

8

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

τότε Πέτρος πλησθεὶς Πνεύματος Ἁγίου εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἄρχοντες τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ Ἰσραήλ,

Тогда̀ пе́тръ, и҆спо́лнивсѧ дх҃а ст҃а, речѐ къ ни̑мъ: кнѧ̑зи лю́дстїи и҆ ста́рцы і҆и҃лєвы,

9

If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

εἰ ἡμεῖς σήμερον ἀνακρινόμεθα ἐπὶ εὐεργεσίᾳ ἀνθρώπου ἀσθενοῦς, ἐν τίνι οὗτος σέσωσται,

а҆́ще мы̀ дне́сь и҆стѧзꙋ́еми є҆смы̀ ѡ҆ бл҃годѣѧ́нїи человѣ́ка не́мощна, ѡ҆ чесо́мъ се́й спасе́сѧ,

10

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

γνωστὸν ἔστω πᾶσιν ὑμῖν καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου, ὃν ὑμεῖς ἐσταυρώσατε, ὃν ὁ Θεὸς ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἐν τούτῳ οὗτος παρέστηκεν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ὑγιής.

разꙋ́мно бꙋ́ди всѣ̑мъ ва́мъ и҆ всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ во и҆́мѧ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ назѡре́а, є҆го́же вы̀ распѧ́сте, є҆го́же бг҃ъ воскр҃сѝ ѿ ме́ртвыхъ, ѡ҆ се́мъ се́й стои́тъ пред̾ ва́ми здра́въ:

11

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ λίθος ὁ ἐξουθενηθεὶς ὑφ᾿ ὑμῶν τῶν οἰκοδομούντων, ὁ γενόμενος εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας.

се́й є҆́сть ка́мень ᲂу҆коре́ный ѿ ва́съ зи́ждꙋщихъ, бы́вый во главꙋ̀ ᲂу҆́гла, и҆ нѣ́сть ни ѡ҆ є҆ди́нѣмъ же и҆нѣ́мъ спⷭ҇нїѧ:

12

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἄλλῳ οὐδενὶ ἡ σωτηρία· οὐδὲ γὰρ ὄνομά ἐστιν ἕτερον ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανὸν τὸ δεδομένον ἐν ἀνθρώποις ἐν ᾧ δεῖ σωθῆναι ἡμᾶς.

нѣ́сть бо и҆но́гѡ и҆́мене под̾ небесе́мъ, да́ннагѡ въ человѣ́цѣхъ, ѡ҆ не́мже подоба́етъ спⷭ҇ти́сѧ на́мъ.

13

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

Θεωροῦντες δὲ τὴν τοῦ Πέτρου παρρησίαν καὶ Ἰωάννου, καὶ καταλαβόμενοι ὅτι ἄνθρωποι ἀγράμματοί εἰσι καὶ ἰδιῶται, ἐθαύμαζον, ἐπεγίνωσκόν τε αὐτοὺς ὅτι σὺν τῷ Ἰησοῦ ἦσαν,

[Заⷱ҇ 11] Ви́дѧще же петро́во дерзнове́нїе и҆ і҆ѡа́нново и҆ разꙋмѣ́вше, ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ̑ка некни̑жна є҆ста̀ и҆ прѡ́ста, дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ, зна́хꙋ же и҆̀хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ со і҆и҃сомъ бѣ́ста:

14

And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

τὸν δὲ ἄνθρωπον βλέποντες σὺν αὐτοῖς ἑστῶτα τὸν τεθεραπευμένον, οὐδὲν εἶχον ἀντειπεῖν.

ви́дѧще же и҆сцѣлѣ́вшаго человѣ́ка съ ни́ма стоѧ́ща, ничто́же и҆мѧ́хꙋ проти́вꙋ рещѝ.

15

But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

κελεύσαντες δὲ αὐτοὺς ἔξω τοῦ συνεδρίου ἀπελθεῖν, συνέβαλλον πρὸς ἀλλήλους

Повелѣ́вше же и҆́ма во́нъ и҆з̾ со́нмища и҆зы́ти, стѧза́хꙋсѧ дрꙋ́гъ со дрꙋ́гомъ,

16

Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

λέγοντες· τί ποιήσομεν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις; ὅτι μὲν γὰρ γνωστὸν σημεῖον γέγονε δι᾿ αὐτῶν, πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἱερουσαλὴμ φανερὸν καὶ οὐ δυνάμεθα ἀρνήσασθαι·

глаго́люще: что̀ сотвори́мъ человѣ́кома си́ма; ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́бѡ наро́читое зна́менїе бы́сть и҆́ма, всѣ̑мъ живꙋ́щымъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ ꙗ҆́вѣ, и҆ не мо́жемъ ѿврещи́сѧ:

17

But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

ἀλλ᾿ ἵνα μὴ ἐπὶ πλεῖον διανεμηθῇ εἰς τὸν λαόν, ἀπειλῇ ἀπειλησώμεθα αὐτοῖς μηκέτι λαλεῖν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ μηδενὶ ἀνθρώπων.

но да не бо́лѣе простре́тсѧ въ лю́дехъ, преще́нїемъ да запрети́мъ и҆́ма ктомꙋ̀ не глаго́лати ѡ҆ и҆́мени се́мъ ни є҆ди́номꙋ ѿ человѣ́къ.

18

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

καὶ καλέσαντες αὐτοὺς παρήγγειλαν αὐτοῖς τὸ καθόλου μὴ φθέγγεσθαι μηδὲ διδάσκειν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.

И҆ призва́вше и҆̀хъ, заповѣ́даша и҆́ма ѿню́дъ не провѣщава́ти нижѐ ᲂу҆чи́ти ѡ҆ и҆́мени і҆и҃совѣ.

19

But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

ὁ δὲ Πέτρος καὶ Ἰωάννης ἀποκριθέντες πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἶπον· εἰ δίκαιόν ἐστιν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἀκούειν μᾶλλον ἢ τοῦ Θεοῦ κρίνατε.

Пе́тръ же и҆ і҆ѡа́ннъ ѿвѣща̑вша къ ни̑мъ рѣ́ста: а҆́ще првⷣно є҆́сть пред̾ бг҃омъ ва́съ послꙋ́шати па́че, не́жели бг҃а, сꙋди́те:

20

For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

οὐ δυνάμεθα γὰρ ἡμεῖς ἃ εἴδομεν καὶ ἠκούσαμεν μὴ λαλεῖν.

не мо́жемъ бо мы̀, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣхомъ и҆ слы́шахомъ, не глаго́лати.

21

So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

οἱ δὲ προσαπειλησάμενοι ἀπέλυσαν αὐτούς, μηδὲν εὑρίσκοντες τὸ πῶς κολάσονται αὐτούς, διὰ τὸν λαόν, ὅτι πάντες ἐδόξαζον τὸν Θεὸν ἐπὶ τῷ γεγονότι·

Ѻ҆ни́ же призапре́щше и҆́ма, пꙋсти́ша ѧ҆̀, ничто́же ѡ҆брѣ́тше ка́кѡ мꙋ́чити и҆̀хъ, люді́й ра́ди, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѝ прославлѧ́хꙋ бг҃а ѡ҆ бы́вшемъ:

22

For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.

ἐτῶν γὰρ ἦν πλειόνων τεσσαράκοντα ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐφ᾿ ὃν ἐγεγόνει τὸ σημεῖον τοῦτο τῆς ἰάσεως.

лѣ́тъ бо бѧ́ше мно́жае четы́редесѧти человѣ́къ то́й, на не́мже бы́сть чꙋ́до сїѐ и҆сцѣле́нїѧ.

23

And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

Ἀπολυθέντες δὲ ἦλθον πρὸς τοὺς ἰδίους καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν ὅσα πρὸς αὐτοὺς οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι εἶπον.

[Заⷱ҇ 12] Ѿпꙋщє́на же бы̑вша прїидо́ста ко свои̑мъ и҆ возвѣсти́ста, є҆ли̑ка къ ни́ма а҆рхїере́є и҆ ста́рцы рѣ́ша.

24

And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἦραν φωνὴν πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν καὶ εἶπον· Δέσποτα, σὺ ὁ ποιήσας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς,

Ѻ҆ни́ же слы́шавше є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ воздвиго́ша гла́съ къ бг҃ꙋ и҆ реко́ша: влⷣко, ты̀, бж҃е, сотвори́вый не́бо и҆ зе́млю и҆ мо́ре и҆ всѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же въ ни́хъ,

25

Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

ὁ διὰ στόματος Δαυῒδ παιδός σου εἰπών· ἵνα τί ἐφρύαξαν ἔθνη καὶ λαοὶ ἐμελέτησαν κενά;

и҆́же дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ ᲂу҆сты̑ ѻ҆тца̀ на́шегѡ дв҃да ѻ҆́трока твоегѡ̀ ре́клъ є҆сѝ: вскꙋ́ю шата́шасѧ ꙗ҆зы́цы, и҆ лю́дїе поꙋчи́шасѧ тщє́тнымъ;

26

The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ κατὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ.

предста́ша ца́рїе зе́мстїи, и҆ кнѧ̑зи собра́шасѧ вкꙋ́пѣ на гдⷭ҇а и҆ на хрⷭ҇та̀ є҆гѡ̀.

27

For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

συνήχθησαν γὰρ ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας ἐπὶ τὸν ἅγιον παῖδά σου Ἰησοῦν, ὃν ἔχρισας, Ἡρῴδης τε καὶ Πόντιος Πιλᾶτος σὺν ἔθνεσι καὶ λαοῖς Ἰσραήλ,

Собра́шасѧ бо вои́стиннꙋ во гра́дѣ се́мъ на ст҃а́го ѻ҆́трока твоего̀ і҆и҃са, є҆го́же пома́залъ є҆сѝ, и҆́рѡдъ же и҆ понті́йскїй пїла́тъ съ ꙗ҆зы̑ки и҆ людьмѝ і҆и҃левыми,

28

For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

ποιῆσαι ὅσα ἡ χείρ σου καὶ ἡ βουλή σου προώρισε γενέσθαι.

сотвори́ти, є҆ли̑ка рꙋка̀ твоѧ̀ и҆ совѣ́тъ тво́й преднаречѐ бы́ти:

29

And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

καὶ τὰ νῦν, Κύριε, ἔπιδε ἐπὶ τὰς ἀπειλὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ δὸς τοῖς δούλοις σου μετὰ παρρησίας πάσης λαλεῖν τὸν λόγον σου

и҆ нн҃ѣ, гдⷭ҇и, при́зри на прещє́нїѧ и҆́хъ и҆ да́ждь рабѡ́мъ твои̑мъ со всѧ́кимъ дерзнове́нїемъ глаго́лати сло́во твоѐ,

30

By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

ἐν τῷ τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐκτείνειν σε εἰς ἴασιν καὶ σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα γίνεσθαι διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ ἁγίου παιδός σου Ἰησοῦ.

внегда̀ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ простре́ти тѝ во и҆сцѣлє́нїѧ, и҆ зна́менїємъ и҆ чꙋдесє́мъ быва́ти и҆́менемъ ст҃ы́мъ ѻ҆́трока твоегѡ̀ і҆и҃са.

31

And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

καὶ δεηθέντων αὐτῶν ἐσαλεύθη ὁ τόπος ἐν ᾧ ἦσαν συνηγμένοι, καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν ἅπαντες Πνεύματος Ἁγίου, καὶ ἐλάλουν τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ παρρησίας.

И҆ помоли́вшымсѧ и҆̀мъ, подви́жесѧ мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же бѧ́хꙋ со́брани, и҆ и҆спо́лнишасѧ всѝ дх҃а ст҃а и҆ глаго́лахꙋ сло́во бж҃їе со дерзнове́нїемъ.

32

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

Τοῦ δὲ πλήθους τῶν πιστευσάντων ἦν ἡ καρδία καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ μία, καὶ οὐδὲ εἷς τι τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτῷ ἔλεγεν ἴδιον εἶναι, ἀλλ᾿ ἦν αὐτοῖς ἅπαντα κοινά.

Наро́дꙋ же вѣ́ровавшемꙋ бѣ̀ се́рдце и҆ дꙋша̀ є҆ди́на, и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ же что̀ ѿ и҆мѣ́нїй свои́хъ глаго́лаше своѐ бы́ти, но бѧ́хꙋ и҆̀мъ всѧ̑ ѡ҆́бща.

33

And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

καὶ μεγάλῃ δυνάμει ἀπεδίδουν τὸ μαρτύριον οἱ ἀπόστολοι τῆς ἀναστάσεως τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, χάρις τε μεγάλη ἦν ἐπὶ πάντας αὐτούς.

И҆ ве́лїею си́лою воздаѧ́хꙋ свидѣ́тельство а҆пⷭ҇ли воскрⷭ҇нїю гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, блгⷣть же бѣ̀ ве́лїѧ на всѣ́хъ и҆́хъ.

34

Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐνδεής τις ὑπῆρχεν ἐν αὐτοῖς· ὅσοι γὰρ κτήτορες χωρίων ἢ οἰκιῶν ὑπῆρχον, πωλοῦντες ἔφερον τὰς τιμὰς τῶν πιπρασκομένων καὶ ἐτίθουν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων·

Не бѧ́ше бо ни́щь ни є҆ди́нъ въ ни́хъ: є҆ли́цы бо госпо́дїе се́лѡмъ и҆лѝ домовѡ́мъ бѧ́хꙋ, продаю́ще приноша́хꙋ цѣ́ны продае́мыхъ

35

And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

διεδίδετο δὲ ἑκάστῳ καθότι ἄν τις χρείαν εἶχεν.

и҆ полага́хꙋ при нога́хъ а҆пⷭ҇лъ: даѧ́шесѧ же коемꙋ́ждо, є҆гѡ́же а҆́ще кто̀ тре́боваше.

36

And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,

Ἰωσῆς δὲ ὁ ἐπικληθεὶς Βαρνάβας ὑπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων, ὅ ἔστι μεθερμηνευόμενον υἱὸς παρακλήσεως, Λευΐτης, Κύπριος τῷ γένει,

І҆ѡсі́а же, нарече́нный варна́ва ѿ а҆пⷭ҇лъ, є҆́же є҆́сть сказа́емо сы́нъ ᲂу҆тѣше́нїѧ, леѵі́тъ, кѵ́прѧнинъ ро́домъ,

37

Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

ὑπάρχοντος αὐτῷ ἀγροῦ, πωλήσας ἤνεγκε τὸ χρῆμα καὶ ἔθηκε παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων.

и҆мѣ́ѧ село̀, прода́въ принесѐ цѣ́нꙋ и҆ положѝ пред̾ нога́ми а҆пⷭ҇лъ.
