Acts 5

Commentary from 29 fathers

1

BUT a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

Ἀνὴρ δέ τις Ἀνανίας ὀνόματι σὺν Σαπφείρῃ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπώλησε κτῆμα

[Заⷱ҇ 13] Мꙋ́жъ же нѣ́кїй, а҆на́нїа и҆́менемъ, съ сапфі́рою жено́ю свое́ю, продадѐ село̀

2

And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

καὶ ἐνοσφίσατο ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς, συνειδυίας καὶ τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνέγκας μέρος τι παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων ἔθηκεν.

и҆ ᲂу҆таѝ ѿ цѣны̀, свѣ́дꙋщей и҆ женѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ прине́съ ча́сть нѣ́кꙋю, пред̾ нога́ми а҆пⷭ҇лъ положѝ.

3

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

εἶπε δὲ Πέτρος· Ἀνανία, διατί ἐπλήρωσεν σατανᾶς τὴν καρδίαν σου, ψεύσασθαί σε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον καὶ νοσφίσασθαι ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς τοῦ χωρίου;

Рече́ же пе́тръ: а҆на́нїе, почто̀ и҆спо́лни сатана̀ се́рдце твоѐ солга́ти дх҃ꙋ ст҃о́мꙋ и҆ ᲂу҆таи́ти ѿ цѣны̀ села̀;

4

Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

οὐχὶ μένον σοι ἔμενε καὶ πραθὲν ἐν τῇ σῇ ἐξουσίᾳ ὑπῆρχε; τί ὅτι ἔθου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο; οὐκ ἐψεύσω ἀνθρώποις, ἀλλὰ τῷ Θεῷ.

сꙋ́щее тебѣ̀ не твое́ ли бѣ̀, и҆ прода́ное не въ твое́й ли вла́сти бѧ́ше; что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ положи́лъ є҆сѝ въ се́рдцы твое́мъ ве́щь сїю̀; не человѣ́кѡмъ солга́лъ є҆сѝ, но бг҃ꙋ.

5

And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

ἀκούων δὲ Ἀνανίας τοὺς λόγους τούτους πεσὼν ἐξέψυξε, καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας ταῦτα.

Слы́шавъ же а҆на́нїа словеса̀ сїѧ̑, па́дъ и҆́здше: и҆ бы́сть стра́хъ вели́къ на всѣ́хъ слы́шащихъ сїѧ̑.

6

And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

ἀναστάντες δὲ οἱ νεώτεροι συνέστειλαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες ἔθαψαν.

Вста́вше же ю҆́нѡши взѧ́ша є҆го̀ и҆ и҆зне́сше погребо́ша.

7

And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

Ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ὡρῶν τριῶν διάστημα καὶ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, μὴ εἰδυῖα τὸ γεγονός, εἰσῆλθεν.

Бы́сть же ꙗ҆́кѡ трїе́мъ часѡ́мъ минꙋ́вшымъ, и҆ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀ не вѣ́дꙋщи бы́вшагѡ вни́де.

8

And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

ἀπεκρίθη δὲ αὐτῇ Πέτρος· εἰπέ μοι, εἰ τοσούτου τὸ χωρίον ἀπέδοσθε; δὲ εἶπε· ναί, τοσούτου.

Ѿвѣща́ же є҆́й пе́тръ: рцы́ ми, а҆́ще на толи́цѣ село̀ ѿда́ста; Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: є҆́й, на толи́цѣ.

9

Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

δὲ Πέτρος εἶπε πρὸς αὐτήν· τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τὸ Πνεῦμα Κυρίου; ἰδοὺ οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τὸν ἄνδρα σου ἐπὶ τῇ θύρᾳ καὶ ἐξοίσουσί σε.

Пе́тръ же речѐ къ не́й: что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ согласи́стасѧ и҆скꙋси́ти дх҃а гдⷭ҇нѧ; сѐ, но́ги погре́бшихъ мꙋ́жа твоего̀ при две́рехъ, и҆ и҆знесꙋ́тъ тѧ̀.

10

Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

ἔπεσε δὲ παραχρῆμα παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξέψυξεν· εἰσελθόντες δὲ οἱ νεανίσκοι εὗρον αὐτὴν νεκράν, καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες ἔθαψαν πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς.

Паде́ же а҆́бїе пред̾ нога́ма є҆гѡ̀ и҆ и҆́здше: вше́дше же ю҆́нѡши ѡ҆брѣто́ша ю҆̀ ме́ртвꙋ и҆ и҆зне́сше погребо́ша бли́з̾ мꙋ́жа є҆ѧ̀.

11

And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐφ᾿ ὅλην τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας ταῦτα.

И҆ бы́сть стра́хъ вели́къ на все́й цр҃кви и҆ на всѣ́хъ слы́шащихъ сїѧ̑.

12

And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

Διὰ δὲ τῶν χειρῶν τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν τῷ λαῷ πολλά· καὶ ἦσαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἅπαντες ἐν τῇ στοᾷ Σολομῶντος·

[Заⷱ҇ 14] Рꙋка́ми же а҆пⷭ҇льскими бы́ша зна́мєнїѧ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ въ лю́дехъ мнѡ́га: и҆ бѧ́хꙋ є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ всѝ въ притво́рѣ соломѡ́ни:

13

And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

τῶν δὲ λοιπῶν οὐδεὶς ἐτόλμα κολλᾶσθαι αὐτοῖς, ἀλλ᾿ ἐμεγάλυνεν αὐτοὺς λαός·

ѿ про́чихъ же никто́же смѣ́ѧше прилѣплѧ́тисѧ и҆̀мъ, но велича́хꙋ и҆̀хъ лю́дїе.

14

And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

μᾶλλον δὲ προσετίθεντο πιστεύοντες τῷ Κυρίῳ πλήθη ἀνδρῶν τε καὶ γυναικῶν,

Па́че же прилага́хꙋсѧ вѣ́рꙋющїи гдⷭ҇еви, мно́жество мꙋже́й же и҆ же́нъ,

15

Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

ὥστε κατὰ τὰς πλατείας ἐκφέρειν τοὺς ἀσθενεῖς καὶ τιθέναι ἐπὶ κλινῶν καὶ κραβάττων, ἵνα ἐρχομένου Πέτρου κἂν σκιὰ ἐπισκιάσῃ τινὶ αὐτῶν.

ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ на стѡ́гны и҆зноси́ти недꙋ̑жныѧ и҆ полага́ти на посте́лехъ и҆ на ѻ҆дрѣ́хъ, да грѧдꙋ́щꙋ петрꙋ̀ понѐ сѣ́нь є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆сѣни́тъ нѣ́коего ѿ ни́хъ.

16

There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

συνήρχετο δὲ καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πέριξ πόλεων εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ φέροντες ἀσθενεῖς καὶ ὀχλουμένους ὑπὸ πνευμάτων ἀκαθάρτων, οἵτινες ἐθεραπεύοντο ἅπαντες.

Схожда́шесѧ же и҆ мно́жество ѿ ѡ҆кре́стныхъ градѡ́въ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, приносѧ́ще недꙋ̑жныѧ и҆ стра́ждꙋщыѧ ѿ дꙋ̑хъ нечи́стыхъ, и҆̀же и҆сцѣлѣва́хꙋсѧ всѝ.

17

Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

Ἀναστὰς δὲ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ, οὖσα αἵρεσις τῶν Σαδδουκαίων, ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου

Воста́въ же а҆рхїере́й и҆ всѝ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ, сꙋ́щаѧ є҆́ресь саддꙋке́йскаѧ, и҆спо́лнишасѧ за́висти,

18

And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

καὶ ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀποστόλους, καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτοὺς ἐν τηρήσει δημοσίᾳ.

и҆ возложи́ша рꙋ́ки своѧ̑ на а҆пⷭ҇лы и҆ посла́ша и҆̀хъ въ соблюде́нїе ѻ҆́бщее.

19

But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,

ἄγγελος δὲ Κυρίου διὰ τῆς νυκτὸς ἤνοιξε τὰς θύρας τῆς φυλακῆς, ἐξαγαγών τε αὐτοὺς εἶπε·

А҆́гг҃лъ же гдⷭ҇ень но́щїю ѿве́рзе двє́ри темни́цы, и҆зве́дъ же и҆̀хъ, речѐ:

20

Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

πορεύεσθε, καὶ σταθέντες λαλεῖτε ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ τῷ λαῷ πάντα τὰ ρήματα τῆς ζωῆς ταύτης.

и҆ди́те и҆ ста́вше глаго́лите въ це́ркви лю́демъ всѧ̑ глаго́лы жи́зни сеѧ̀.

21

And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

ἀκούσαντες δὲ εἰσῆλθον ὑπὸ τὸν ὄρθρον εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν καὶ ἐδίδασκον. παραγενόμενος δὲ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ συνεκάλεσαν τὸ συνέδριον καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γερουσίαν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ. καὶ ἀπέστειλαν εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον ἀχθῆναι αὐτούς.

[Заⷱ҇ 15] Слы́шавше же внидо́ша по ᲂу҆́треницѣ {ᲂу҆́трѡ} въ це́рковь и҆ ᲂу҆ча́хꙋ. Прише́дъ же а҆рхїере́й и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ, созва́ша собо́ръ и҆ всѧ̑ ста́рцы ѿ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ и҆ посла́ша во ᲂу҆зи́лище, привестѝ и҆̀хъ.

22

But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,

οἱ δὲ ὑπηρέται παραγενόμενοι οὐχ εὗρον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ, ἀναστρέψαντες δὲ ἀπήγγειλαν

Слꙋги̑ же ше́дше не ѡ҆брѣто́ша и҆̀хъ въ темни́цѣ, возвра́щшежесѧ возвѣсти́ша,

23

Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.

λέγοντες ὅτι τὸ μὲν δεσμωτήριον εὕρομεν κεκλεισμένον ἐν πάσῃ ἀσφαλείᾳ καὶ τοὺς φύλακας ἑστῶτας πρὸ τῶν θυρῶν, ἀνοίξαντες δὲ ἔσω οὐδένα εὕρομεν.

глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ темни́цꙋ ᲂу҆́бѡ ѡ҆брѣто́хомъ заключе́нꙋ со всѧ́кимъ ᲂу҆твержде́нїемъ и҆ блюсти́тєли стоѧ́щыѧ пред̾ две́рьми: ѿве́рзше же, внꙋ́трь ни є҆ди́нагѡ ѡ҆брѣто́хомъ.

24

Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν τοὺς λόγους τούτους τε ἱερεὺς καὶ στρατηγὸς τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, διηπόρουν περὶ αὐτῶν τί ἂν γένοιτο τοῦτο.

Ꙗ҆́коже слы́шаша словеса̀ сїѧ̑ а҆рхїере́й же и҆ воево́да церко́вный и҆ первосвѧще́нницы, недоꙋмѣва́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ ни́хъ, что̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ бꙋ́детъ сїѐ.

25

Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

παραγενόμενος δέ τις ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἄνδρες, οὓς ἔθεσθε ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ, εἰσὶν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἑστῶτες καὶ διδάσκοντες τὸν λαόν.

Прише́дъ же нѣ́кто возвѣстѝ и҆̀мъ, глаго́лѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сѐ, мꙋ́жїе, и҆̀хже всади́сте въ темни́цꙋ, сꙋ́ть въ це́ркви стоѧ́ще и҆ ᲂу҆ча́ще лю́ди.

26

Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

τότε ἀπελθὼν στρατηγὸς σὺν τοῖς ὑπηρέταις ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς οὐ μετὰ βίας· ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ τὸν λαόν, ἵνα μὴ λιθασθῶσιν·

Тогда̀ ше́дъ воево́да со слꙋга́ми, приведѐ и҆̀хъ не съ нꙋ́ждею, боѧ́хꙋсѧ бо люді́й, да не ка́менїемъ побїю́тъ и҆̀хъ:

27

And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

ἀγαγόντες δὲ αὐτοὺς ἔστησαν ἐν τῷ συνεδρίῳ. καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς ἀρχιερεὺς

приве́дше же и҆̀хъ, поста́виша на со́нмищи, и҆ вопросѝ и҆̀хъ а҆рхїере́й, глаго́лѧ:

28

Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

λέγων· οὐ παραγγελίᾳ παρηγγείλαμεν ὑμῖν μὴ διδάσκειν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ; καὶ ἰδοὺ πεπληρώκατε τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τῆς διδαχῆς ὑμῶν, καὶ βούλεσθε ἐπαγαγεῖν ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς τὸ αἷμα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου.

не запреще́нїемъ ли запрети́хомъ ва́мъ не ᲂу҆чи́ти ѡ҆ и҆́мени се́мъ; и҆ сѐ, и҆спо́лнисте і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ ᲂу҆че́нїемъ ва́шимъ и҆ хо́щете навестѝ на ны̀ кро́вь чл҃вѣ́ка сегѡ̀.

29

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Πέτρος καὶ οἱ ἀπόστολοι εἶπον· πειθαρχεῖν δεῖ Θεῷ μᾶλλον ἀνθρώποις.

Ѿвѣща́въ же пе́тръ и҆ а҆пⷭ҇ли рѣ́ша: повинова́тисѧ подоба́етъ бг҃ови па́че, не́жели человѣ́кѡмъ:

30

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἤγειρεν Ἰησοῦν, ὃν ὑμεῖς διεχειρίσασθε κρεμάσαντες ἐπὶ ξύλου·

бг҃ъ ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ воздви́же і҆и҃са, є҆го́же вы̀ ᲂу҆би́сте, повѣ́сивше на дре́вѣ:

31

Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

τοῦτον Θεὸς ἀρχηγὸν καὶ σωτῆρα ὕψωσε τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ δοῦναι μετάνοιαν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.

сего̀ бг҃ъ нача́льника и҆ сп҃са возвы́си десни́цею свое́ю, да́ти покаѧ́нїе і҆и҃леви и҆ ѡ҆ставле́нїе грѣхѡ́въ:

32

And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν αὐτοῦ μάρτυρες τῶν ρημάτων τούτων, καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα δὲ τὸ Ἅγιον ἔδωκεν Θεὸς τοῖς πειθαρχοῦσιν αὐτῷ.

и҆ мы̀ є҆смы̀ тогѡ̀ свидѣ́телїе глагѡ́лъ си́хъ, и҆ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й, є҆го́же дадѐ бг҃ъ повинꙋ́ющымсѧ є҆мꙋ̀.

33

When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες διεπρίοντο καὶ ἐβουλεύοντο ἀνελεῖν αὐτούς.

Ѻ҆ни́ же слы́шавше распыха́хꙋсѧ и҆ совѣща́ша ᲂу҆би́ти и҆̀хъ.

34

Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

Ἀναστὰς δέ τις ἐν τῷ συνεδρίῳ Φαρισαῖος ὀνόματι Γαμαλιήλ, νομοδιδάσκαλος τίμιος παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, ἐκέλευσεν ἔξω βραχύ τι τοὺς ἀποστόλους ποιῆσαι,

Воста́въ же нѣ́кїй на со́нмищи фарїсе́й, и҆́менемъ гамалїи́лъ, законоꙋчи́тель че́стенъ всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ, повелѣ̀ внѣ̀ ма́лѡ что̀ а҆пⷭ҇лѡмъ ᲂу҆стꙋпи́ти,

35

And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

εἶπέ τε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται, προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις τί μέλλετε πράσσειν.

рече́ же къ ни̑мъ: мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃льтѧне, внима́йте себѣ̀ ѡ҆ человѣ́цѣхъ си́хъ, что̀ хо́щете сотвори́ти:

36

For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

πρὸ γὰρ τούτων τῶν ἡμερῶν ἀνέστη Θευδᾶς, λέγων εἶναί τινα ἑαυτόν, προσεκλίθη ἀριθμὸς ἀνδρῶν ὡσεὶ τετρακοσίων· ὃς ἀνῃρέθη, καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ἐπείθοντο αὐτῷ διελύθησαν καὶ ἐγένοντο εἰς οὐδέν.

пред̾ си́ми бо де́ньми воста̀ ѳе́ѵда, глаго́лѧ бы́ти вели́ка нѣ́коего себѐ, є҆мꙋ́же прилѣпи́шасѧ число́мъ мꙋже́й ꙗ҆́кѡ четы́реста: и҆́же ᲂу҆бїе́нъ бы́сть, и҆ всѝ, є҆ли́цы повинꙋ́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀, разыдо́шасѧ и҆ бы́ша ни во что́же:

37

After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

μετὰ τοῦτον ἀνέστη Ἰούδας Γαλιλαῖος ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς ἀπογραφῆς καὶ ἀπέστησε λαὸν ἱκανὸν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ· κἀκεῖνος ἀπώλετο, καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ἐπείθοντο αὐτῷ διεσκορπίσθησαν.

по се́мъ воста̀ і҆ꙋ́да галїле́анинъ во дни̑ написа́нїѧ и҆ ѿвлечѐ лю́ди довѡ́льны в̾слѣ́дъ себє̀: и҆ то́й поги́бе, и҆ всѝ, є҆ли́цы послꙋ́шаша є҆гѡ̀, разсы́пашасѧ:

38

And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

καὶ τὰ νῦν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπόστητε ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τούτων καὶ ἐάσατε αὐτούς· ὅτι ἐὰν ἐξ ἀνθρώπων βουλὴ αὕτη τὸ ἔργον τοῦτο, καταλυθήσεται·

и҆ нн҃ѣ, глаго́лю ва́мъ, ѿстꙋпи́те ѿ человѣ̑къ си́хъ и҆ ѡ҆ста́вите и҆̀хъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ ѿ человѣ̑къ совѣ̑тъ се́й и҆лѝ дѣ́ло сїѐ, разори́тсѧ,

39

But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

εἰ δὲ ἐκ Θεοῦ ἐστιν, οὐ δύνασθε καταλῦσαι αὐτό, μή ποτε καὶ θεομάχοι εὑρεθῆτε.

а҆́ще ли же ѿ бг҃а є҆́сть, не мо́жете разори́ти то̀, да не ка́кѡ и҆ бг҃обо́рцы ѡ҆брѧ́щетесѧ.

40

And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

ἐπείσθησαν δὲ αὐτῷ, καὶ προσκαλεσάμενοι τοὺς ἀποστόλους δείραντες παρήγγειλαν μὴ λαλεῖν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἀπέλυσαν αὐτούς.

Послꙋ́шаша же є҆гѡ̀, и҆ призва́вше а҆пⷭ҇лы, би́вше запрети́ша и҆̀мъ не глаго́лати ѡ҆ и҆́мени і҆и҃совѣ и҆ ѿпꙋсти́ша и҆̀хъ.

41

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

οἱ μὲν οὖν ἐπορεύοντο χαίροντες ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ συνεδρίου, ὅτι ὑπὲρ τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ κατηξιώθησαν ἀτιμασθῆναι·

Ѻ҆ни́ же ᲂу҆̀бо и҆дѧ́хꙋ ра́дꙋющесѧ ѿ лица̀ собо́ра, ꙗ҆́кѡ за и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са сподо́бишасѧ безче́стїе прїѧ́ти:

42

And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

πᾶσαν τε ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ κατ᾿ οἶκον οὐκ ἐπαύοντο διδάσκοντες καὶ εὐαγγελιζόμενοι Ἰησοῦν τὸν Χριστόν.

по всѧ̑ же дни̑ въ це́ркви и҆ въ домѣ́хъ не престаѧ́хꙋ ᲂу҆ча́ще и҆ благовѣствꙋ́юще і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
