PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 А кад они говораху народу, наиђоше на њих свештеници и војвода црквени и садукеји;
1 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
1 Λαλούντων δὲ αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ἐπέστησαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ ὁ στρατηγὸς τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ οἱ Σαδδουκαῖοι,
2 и расрдише се, што они уче људе и јављају у Исусу васкрсење из мртвих.
2 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
2 διαπονούμενοι διὰ τὸ διδάσκειν αὐτοὺς τὸν λαὸν καὶ καταγγέλλειν ἐν τῷ Ἰησοῦ τὴν ἀνάστασιν τῶν νεκρῶν·
3 И дигоше на њих руке, и метнуше их у затвор до ујутру: јер већ беше вече.
3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
3 καὶ ἐπέβαλον αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ ἔθεντο εἰς τήρησιν εἰς τὴν αὔριον· ἦν γὰρ ἑσπέρα ἤδη.
4 А од оних који слушаху реч многи вероваше, и постаде број људи око пет хиљада.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
4 πολλοὶ δὲ τῶν ἀκουσάντων τὸν λόγον ἐπίστευσαν, καὶ ἐγενήθη ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ὡσεὶ χιλιάδες πέντε.
5 А кад би ујутру, скупише се кнезови њихови и старешине и књижевници у Јерусалим,
5 In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
5 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν αὔριον συναχθῆναι αὐτῶν τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ γραμματεῖς εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ,
6 а Ана поглавар свештенички и Кајафа и Јован и Александар и колико их год беше од рода свештеничког;
6 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
6 καὶ Ἄνναν τὸν ἀρχιερέα καὶ Καϊάφαν καὶ Ἰωάννην καὶ Ἀλέξανδρον καὶ ὅσοι ἦσαν ἐκ γένους ἀρχιερατικοῦ,
7 и метнувши их на средину питаху: Каквом силом или у чије име учинисте ви ово?
7 When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
7 καὶ στήσαντες αὐτοὺς ἐν [τῷ] μέσῳ ἐπυνθάνοντο· ἐν ποίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ ἐν ποίῳ ὀνόματι ἐποιήσατε τοῦτο ὑμεῖς;
8 Тада Петар напунивши се Духа Светог рече им: Кнезови народни и старешине Израиљеве!
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
8 τότε Πέτρος πλησθεὶς Πνεύματος Ἁγίου εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἄρχοντες τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ Ἰσραήλ,
9 Ако нас данас питате за добро дело које учинисмо болесном човеку те он оздрави:
9 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
9 εἰ ἡμεῖς σήμερον ἀνακρινόμεθα ἐπὶ εὐεργεσίᾳ ἀνθρώπου ἀσθενοῦς, ἐν τίνι οὗτος σέσωσται,
10 Да је на знање свима вама и свему народу Израиљевом да у име Исуса Христа Назарећанина, ког ви распесте, ког Бог подиже из мртвих, стоји овај пред вама здрав.
10 may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.
10 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.
11 Ово је камен који ви зидари одбацисте, а постаде глава од угла: и нема ни у једном другом спасења;
11 He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
11 οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ λίθος ὁ ἐξουθενηθεὶς ὑφ᾽ ὑμῶν τῶν οἰκοδομούντων, ὁ γενόμενος εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας.
12 јер нема другог имена под небом даног људима којим би се ми могли спасти.
12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”
12 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.
13 А кад видеше слободу Петрову и Јованову, и знајући да су људи некњижевни и прости, дивљаху се, и знаху их да беху с Исусом.
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
13 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,
14 А видећи исцељеног човека где с њима стоји не могаху ништа противу рећи.
14 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
14 τὸν δὲ ἄνθρωπον βλέποντες σὺν αὐτοῖς ἑστῶτα τὸν τεθεραπευμένον, οὐδὲν εἶχον ἀντειπεῖν.
15 Онда им заповедише да изиђу напоље из савета, па питаху један другог
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
15 κελεύσαντες δὲ αὐτοὺς ἔξω τοῦ συνεδρίου ἀπελθεῖν, συνέβαλλον πρὸς ἀλλήλους
16 говорећи: Шта ћете чинити овим људима? Јер велики знак што учинише они познат је свима који живе у Јерусалиму, и не можемо одрећи;
16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.
16 λέγοντες· τί ποιήσομεν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις; ὅτι μὲν γὰρ γνωστὸν σημεῖον γέγονε δι᾽ αὐτῶν, πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἱερουσαλὴμ φανερόν, καὶ οὐ δυνάμεθα ἀρνήσασθαι·
17 али да се даље не разилази по народу, да им оштро запретимо да више не говоре за име ово никоме.
17 But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”
17 ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα μὴ ἐπὶ πλεῖον διανεμηθῇ εἰς τὸν λαόν, ἀπειλῇ ἀπειλησώμεθα αὐτοῖς μηκέτι λαλεῖν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ μηδενὶ ἀνθρώπων.
18 И дозвавши их заповедише им да ништа не спомињу нити да уче у име Исусово.
18 They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
18 καὶ καλέσαντες αὐτοὺς παρήγγειλαν αὐτοῖς τὸ καθόλου μὴ φθέγγεσθαι μηδὲ διδάσκειν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.
19 Петар и Јован одговарајући рекоше им: Судите је ли право пред Богом да вас већма слушамо неголи Бога?
19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
19 ὁ δὲ Πέτρος καὶ Ἰωάννης ἀποκριθέντες πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἶπον· εἰ δίκαιόν ἐστιν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἀκούειν μᾶλλον ἢ τοῦ Θεοῦ, κρίνατε.
20 Јер ми не можемо не говорити шта видесмо и чусмо.
20 for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
20 οὐ δυνάμεθα γὰρ ἡμεῖς ἃ εἴδομεν καὶ ἠκούσαμεν μὴ λαλεῖν.
21 А они запретивши им пустише их, не нашавши ништа како би их мучили, народа ради; јер сви хваљаху Бога за оно што се беше догодило.
21 When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
21 οἱ δὲ προσαπειλησάμενοι ἀπέλυσαν αὐτούς, μηδὲν εὑρίσκοντες τὸ πῶς κολάσονται αὐτούς, διὰ τὸν λαόν, ὅτι πάντες ἐδόξαζον τὸν Θεὸν ἐπὶ τῷ γεγονότι·
22 Јер оном човеку беше више од четрдесет година на коме се догоди ово чудо здравља.
22 For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
22 ἐτῶν γὰρ ἦν πλειόνων τεσσαράκοντα ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐφ᾽ ὃν ἐγεγόνει τὸ σημεῖον τοῦτο τῆς ἰάσεως.
23 А кад их отпустише, дођоше к својима, и јавише им шта рекоше главари свештенички и старешине.
23 Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
23 Ἀπολυθέντες δὲ ἦλθον πρὸς τοὺς ἰδίους καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν ὅσα πρὸς αὐτοὺς οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι εἶπον.
24 А они кад чуше, једнодушно подигоше глас к Богу и рекоше: Господе Боже, Ти који си створио небо и земљу и море и све што је у њима;
24 When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
24 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,
25 који устима Давида слуге свог рече: Зашто се буне незнабошци, и народи измишљају празне речи?
25 who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
25 ὁ διὰ στόματος Δαυῒδ παιδός σου εἰπών· ἵνα τί ἐφρύαξαν ἔθνη καὶ λαοὶ ἐμελέτησαν κενά;
26 Састаше се цареви земаљски, и кнезови се сабраше уједно на Господа и на Христа Његовог.
26 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
26 παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ κατὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ.
27 Заиста се сабраше у овом граду на светог Сина Твог Исуса, ког си помазао, Ирод и понтијски Пилат с незнабошцима и с народом Израиљевим,
27 “For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
27 συνήχθησαν γὰρ ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας ἐπὶ τὸν ἅγιον παῖδά σου Ἰησοῦν, ὃν ἔχρισας, Ἡρῴδης τε καὶ Πόντιος Πιλᾶτος σὺν ἔθνεσι καὶ λαοῖς Ἰσραήλ,
28 да учине шта рука Твоја и савет Твој напред одреди да буде.
28 to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
28 ποιῆσαι ὅσα ἡ χείρ σου καὶ ἡ βουλή σου προώρισε γενέσθαι·
29 И сад Господе! Погледај на њихове претње, и дај слугама својим да говоре са сваком слободом реч Твоју;
29 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
29 καὶ τὰ νῦν, Κύριε, ἔπιδε ἐπὶ τὰς ἀπειλὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ δὸς τοῖς δούλοις σου μετὰ παρρησίας πάσης λαλεῖν τὸν λόγον σου
30 и пружај руку своју на исцељивање и да знаци и чудеса буду именом светог Сина Твог Исуса.
30 while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
30 ἐν τῷ τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐκτείνειν σε εἰς ἴασιν καὶ σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα γίνεσθαι διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ ἁγίου παιδός σου Ἰησοῦ.
31 И пошто се они помолише Богу затресе се место где беху сабрани, и напунише се сви Духа Светог, и говораху реч Божју са слободом.
31 When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
31 καὶ δεηθέντων αὐτῶν ἐσαλεύθη ὁ τόπος ἐν ᾧ ἦσαν συνηγμένοι, καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν ἅπαντες Πνεύματος Ἁγίου, καὶ ἐλάλουν τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ παρρησίας.
32 А у народа који верова беше једно срце и једна душа; и ниједан не говораше за имање своје да је његово, него им све беше заједничко.
32 The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
32 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.
33 И апостоли с великом силом сведочаху за васкрсење Господа Исуса Христа; и благодат велика беше на свима њима:
33 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
33 καὶ μεγάλῃ δυνάμει ἀπεδίδουν τὸ μαρτύριον οἱ ἀπόστολοι τῆς ἀναστάσεως τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, χάρις τε μεγάλη ἦν ἐπὶ πάντας αὐτούς.
34 Јер ниједан међу њима не беше сиромашан, јер колико их год беше који имаху њиве или куће, продаваху и доношаху новце што узимаху зато,
34 For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
34 οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐνδεής τις ὑπῆρχεν ἐν αὐτοῖς· ὅσοι γὰρ κτήτορες χωρίων ἢ οἰκιῶν ὑπῆρχον, πωλοῦντες ἔφερον τὰς τιμὰς τῶν πιπρασκομένων
35 и метаху пред ноге апостолима; и даваше се свакоме као што ко требаше.
35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
35 καὶ ἐτίθουν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων· διεδίδοτο δὲ ἑκάστῳ καθότι ἄν τις χρείαν εἶχεν.
36 А Јосија, прозвани од апостола Варнава, које значи Син утехе, Левит родом из Кипра,
36 Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
36 Ἰωσῆς δὲ ὁ ἐπικληθεὶς Βαρνάβας ἀπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων, ὅ ἔστι μεθερμηνευόμενον υἱὸς παρακλήσεως, Λευΐτης, Κύπριος τῷ γένει,
37 он имаше њиву, и продавши је донесе новце и метну апостолима пред ноге.
37 having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
37 ὑπάρχοντος αὐτῷ ἀγροῦ, πωλήσας ἤνεγκε τὸ χρῆμα καὶ ἔθηκε παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων.

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).
Ere yet they had time to take breath after their first trials, straightway they enter into others. And observe how the events are disposed. First, they were all mocked together; this was no small trial: secondly, they enter into dangers.

… that the promise which God made to the fathers had been fulfilled by Jesus; not certainly proclaiming another god, but the Son of God, who also was made man, and suffered; thus leading Israel into knowledge, and through Jesus preaching the resurrection of the dead, and showing, that whatever the prophets had proclaimed as to the suffering of Christ, these …

And thus, as they captured in the spiritual net of their doctrine five thousand believers at once, so they confuted the misguided rulers of the people and chief priests, and that, not through their own wisdom, for they were unlearned and ignorant men, but through the mighty power of the Holy Ghost; for it is written, Then Peter filled …
