PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 En Iconio, Pablo y Bernabé entraron juntos en la sinagoga de los judíos y hablaron de tal manera que creyó una gran multitud de judíos y de griegos.
1 In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
1 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν Ἰκονίῳ κατὰ τὸ αὐτὸ εἰσελθεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ λαλῆσαι οὕτως ὥστε πιστεῦσαι Ἰουδαίων τε καὶ Ἑλλήνων πολὺ πλῆθος.
2 Pero los judíos que no creyeron alborotaron y pusieron en contra de los hermanos el ánimo de los gentiles.
2 But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
2 οἱ δὲ ἀπειθοῦντες Ἰουδαῖοι ἐπήγειραν καὶ ἐκάκωσαν τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν ἐθνῶν κατὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν.
3 Con todo, se quedaron allí mucho tiempo, hablando con valentía en el Señor. Él daba testimonio de la palabra de su gracia, concediendo que se hicieran señales y maravillas por medio de sus manos.
3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
3 ἱκανὸν μὲν οὖν χρόνον διέτριψαν παρρησιαζόμενοι ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ τῷ μαρτυροῦντι τῷ λόγῳ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ, διδόντι σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα γίνεσθαι διὰ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.
4 Pero la gente de la ciudad estaba dividida: unos estaban con los judíos, y otros con los apóstoles.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
4 ἐσχίσθη δὲ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς πόλεως, καὶ οἱ μὲν ἦσαν σὺν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, οἱ δὲ σὺν τοῖς ἀποστόλοις.
5 Cuando los gentiles y los judíos, junto con sus gobernantes, intentaron maltratarlos y apedrearlos,
5 When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
5 ὡς δὲ ἐγένετο ὁρμὴ τῶν ἐθνῶν τε καὶ Ἰουδαίων σὺν τοῖς ἄρχουσιν αὐτῶν ὑβρίσαι καὶ λιθοβολῆσαι αὐτούς,
6 ellos se dieron cuenta y huyeron a Listra y Derbe, ciudades de Licaonia, y a la región de alrededor.
6 they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
6 συνιδόντες κατέφυγον εἰς τὰς πόλεις τῆς Λυκαονίας Λύστραν καὶ Δέρβην καὶ τὴν περίχωρον,
7 Allí siguieron anunciando las buenas noticias.
7 There they preached the Good News.
7 κἀκεῖ ἦσαν εὐαγγελιζόμενοι.
8 En Listra había un hombre sentado, inválido de los pies. Era cojo desde el vientre de su madre y nunca había caminado.
8 At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
8 Καί τις ἀνὴρ ἐν Λύστροις ἀδύνατος τοῖς ποσὶν ἐκάθητο, χωλὸς ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ ὑπάρχων, ὃς οὐδέποτε περιπεπατήκει.
9 Este hombre oyó hablar a Pablo. Pablo fijó los ojos en él, y al ver que tenía fe para ser sanado,
9 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
9 οὗτος ἤκουσε τοῦ Παύλου λαλοῦντος· ὃς ἀτενίσας αὐτῷ καὶ ἰδὼν ὅτι πίστιν ἔχει τοῦ σωθῆναι,
10 dijo a gran voz: Levántate derecho sobre tus pies. Entonces él saltó y comenzó a caminar.
10 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.
10 εἶπε μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ· ἀνάστηθι ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας σου ὀρθός. καὶ ἥλατο καὶ περιεπάτει.
11 Cuando la gente vio lo que Pablo había hecho, alzó la voz en lengua licaónica, diciendo: Los dioses han bajado a nosotros en forma de hombres.
11 When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
11 οἱ δὲ ὄχλοι ἰδόντες ὃ ἐποίησεν ὁ Παῦλος ἐπῆραν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν Λυκαονιστὶ λέγοντες· οἱ θεοὶ ὁμοιωθέντες ἀνθρώποις κατέβησαν πρὸς ἡμᾶς·
12 A Bernabé lo llamaban Zeus, y a Pablo, Hermes, porque él era el que llevaba la palabra.
12 They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
12 ἐκάλουν τε τὸν μὲν Βαρνάβαν Δία, τὸν δὲ Παῦλον Ἑρμῆν, ἐπειδὴ αὐτὸς ἦν ὁ ἡγούμενος τοῦ λόγου.
13 El sacerdote de Zeus, cuyo templo estaba frente a la ciudad, trajo toros y guirnaldas a las puertas, y quería ofrecer sacrificios junto con la gente.
13 The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
13 ὁ δὲ ἱερεὺς τοῦ Διὸς τοῦ ὄντος πρὸ τῆς πόλεως αὐτῶν, ταύρους καὶ στέμματα ἐπὶ τοὺς πυλῶνας ἐνέγκας, σὺν τοῖς ὄχλοις ἤθελε θύειν.
14 Cuando los apóstoles Bernabé y Pablo oyeron esto, rasgaron sus ropas y se lanzaron entre la multitud, gritando:
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
14 ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ ἀπόστολοι Βαρνάβας καὶ Παῦλος, διαρρήξαντες τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν εἰσεπήδησαν εἰς τὸν ὄχλον κράζοντες
15 Señores, ¿por qué hacen esto? Nosotros también somos hombres, con la misma naturaleza que ustedes. Les anunciamos las buenas noticias para que se aparten de estas cosas vanas y se vuelvan al Dios vivo, que hizo el cielo, la tierra, el mar y todo lo que hay en ellos.
15 “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
15 καὶ λέγοντες· ἄνδρες, τί ταῦτα ποιεῖτε; καὶ ἡμεῖς ὁμοιοπαθεῖς ἐσμεν ὑμῖν ἄνθρωποι, εὐαγγελιζόμενοι ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τούτων τῶν ματαίων ἐπιστρέφειν ἐπὶ τὸν Θεὸν τὸν ζῶντα, ὃς ἐποίησε τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς·
16 En las generaciones pasadas, Dios permitió que todas las naciones anduvieran en sus propios caminos.
16 who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
16 ὃς ἐν ταῖς παρῳχημέναις γενεαῖς εἴασε πάντα τὰ ἔθνη πορεύεσθαι ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν·
17 Sin embargo, no se dejó a sí mismo sin testimonio, porque hizo el bien, dándoles lluvias del cielo y tiempos de cosecha, llenando sus corazones de alimento y alegría.
17 Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
17 καίτοι γε οὐκ ἀμάρτυρον ἑαυτὸν ἀφῆκεν ἀγαθοποιῶν, οὐρανόθεν ὑμῖν ὑετοὺς διδοὺς καὶ καιροὺς καρποφόρους, ἐμπιπλῶν τροφῆς καὶ εὐφροσύνης τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν.
18 Aun diciendo estas cosas, apenas lograron impedir que la gente les ofreciera sacrificio.
18 Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
18 καὶ ταῦτα λέγοντες μόλις κατέπαυσαν τοὺς ὄχλους τοῦ μὴ θύειν αὐτοῖς.
19 Entonces llegaron unos judíos de Antioquía y de Iconio. Convencieron a la multitud, apedrearon a Pablo y lo arrastraron fuera de la ciudad, pensando que estaba muerto.
19 But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
19 Ἐπῆλθον δὲ ἀπὸ Ἀντιοχείας καὶ Ἰκονίου Ἰουδαῖοι, καὶ πείσαντες τοὺς ὄχλους καὶ λιθάσαντες τὸν Παῦλον ἔσυραν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως, νομίσαντες αὐτὸν τεθνάναι.
20 Pero cuando los discípulos lo rodearon, él se levantó y entró en la ciudad. Al día siguiente salió con Bernabé hacia Derbe.
20 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
20 κυκλωσάντων δὲ αὐτὸν τῶν μαθητῶν ἀναστὰς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ τῇ ἐπαύριον ἐξῆλθε σὺν τῷ Βαρνάβᾳ εἰς Δέρβην.
21 Después de anunciar las buenas noticias en aquella ciudad y hacer muchos discípulos, volvieron a Listra, a Iconio y a Antioquía.
21 When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
21 εὐαγγελισάμενοί τε τὴν πόλιν ἐκείνην καὶ μαθητεύσαντες ἱκανοὺς ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν Λύστραν καὶ Ἰκόνιον καὶ Ἀντιόχειαν,
22 Fortalecían el ánimo de los discípulos, exhortándolos a permanecer en la fe, y diciendo: Es necesario que pasemos por muchas tribulaciones para entrar en el reino de Dios.
22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
22 ἐπιστηρίζοντες τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν μαθητῶν, παρακαλοῦντες ἐμμένειν τῇ πίστει, καὶ ὅτι διὰ πολλῶν θλίψεων δεῖ ἡμᾶς εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
23 Después de nombrar ancianos para ellos en cada iglesia, oraron con ayunos y los encomendaron al Señor, en quien habían creído.
23 When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
23 χειροτονήσαντες δὲ αὐτοῖς πρεσβυτέρους κατ᾽ ἐκκλησίαν [καὶ] προσευξάμενοι μετὰ νηστειῶν παρέθεντο αὐτοὺς τῷ Κυρίῳ, εἰς ὃν πεπιστεύκασι.
24 Luego pasaron por Pisidia y llegaron a Panfilia.
24 They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
24 καὶ διελθόντες τὴν Πισιδίαν ἦλθον εἰς Παμφυλίαν,
25 Después de predicar la palabra en Perge, descendieron a Atalia.
25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
25 καὶ λαλήσαντες ἐν Πέργῃ τὸν λόγον κατέβησαν εἰς Ἀττάλειαν,
26 De allí navegaron a Antioquía, desde donde habían sido encomendados a la gracia de Dios para la obra que habían cumplido.
26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
26 κἀκεῖθεν ἀπέπλευσαν εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν, ὅθεν ἦσαν παραδεδομένοι τῇ χάριτι τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς τὸ ἔργον ὃ ἐπλήρωσαν.
27 Cuando llegaron y reunieron a la iglesia, contaron todo lo que Dios había hecho por medio de ellos, y cómo había abierto a los gentiles la puerta de la fe.
27 When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
27 Παραγενόμενοι δὲ καὶ συναγαγόντες τὴν ἐκκλησίαν ἀνήγγειλαν ὅσα ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς μετ᾽ αὐτῶν, καὶ ὅτι ἤνοιξε τοῖς ἔθνεσι θύραν πίστεως.
28 Y se quedaron mucho tiempo con los discípulos.
28 They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
28 διέτριβον δὲ ἐκεῖ χρόνον οὐκ ὀλίγον σὺν τοῖς μαθηταῖς.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Mark the vehemence with which all this is done by the Apostles: "rent their clothes, ran in, cried out," all from strong affection of the soul, revolted by the things that were done.

… and all things that are therein; who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways, although He left not Himself without witness, performing acts of goodness, giving you rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness." But that all his Epistles are consonant to these declarations, I shall, when expounding the …
For admirably, when he had said, "Thousands of men rejoicing:" immediately he added, "The Lord is in them." That we may not wonder why they rejoice, "The Lord is in them." For through many tribulations we must needs enter into the kingdom of God, but, "The Lord is in them." Therefore even if they are as it were sorrowful, yet …

Believe then that this Only-begotten Son of God for our sins came down from heaven upon earth, and took upon Him this human nature of like passions with us, and was begotten of the Holy Virgin and of the Holy Ghost, and was made Man, not in seeming and mere show, but in truth; nor yet by passing through the …
