PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Ανέβαινον δε ομού ο Πέτρος και Ιωάννης εις το ιερόν κατά την ώραν της προσευχής την εννάτην.
1 Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
1 Ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ δὲ Πέτρος καὶ Ἰωάννης ἀνέβαινον εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἐπὶ τὴν ὥραν τῆς προσευχῆς τὴν ἐνάτην.
2 Και άνθρωπός τις χωλός υπάρχων εκ κοιλίας μητρός αυτού εβαστάζετο, τον οποίον έθετον καθ' ημέραν προς την θύραν του ιερού την λεγομένην Ωραίαν, διά να ζητή ελεημοσύνην παρά των εισερχομένων εις το ιερόν·
2 A certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.
2 καί τις ἀνὴρ χωλὸς ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ ὑπάρχων ἐβαστάζετο, ὃν ἐτίθουν καθ᾽ ἡμέραν πρὸς τὴν θύραν τοῦ ἱεροῦ τὴν λεγομένην ὡραίαν τοῦ αἰτεῖν ἐλεημοσύνην παρὰ τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὸ ἱερόν·
3 ούτος ιδών τον Πέτρον και Ιωάννην μέλλοντας να εισέλθωσιν εις το ιερόν, εζήτει να λάβη ελεημοσύνην.
3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.
3 ὃς ἰδὼν Πέτρον καὶ Ἰωάννην μέλλοντας εἰσιέναι εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἠρώτα ἐλεημοσύνην.
4 Ατενίσας δε εις αυτόν ο Πέτρος μετά του Ιωάννου, είπε· Βλέψον εις ημάς.
4 Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, “Look at us.”
4 ἀτενίσας δὲ Πέτρος εἰς αὐτὸν σὺν τῷ Ἰωάννῃ εἶπε· βλέψον εἰς ἡμᾶς.
5 Και εκείνος έβλεπεν αυτούς μετά προσοχής, προσμένων να λάβη τι παρ' αυτών.
5 He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them.
5 ὁ δὲ ἐπεῖχεν αὐτοῖς προσδοκῶν τι παρ᾽ αὐτῶν λαβεῖν.
6 Ο δε Πέτρος είπεν· Αργύριον και χρυσίον εγώ δεν έχω· αλλ' ό,τι έχω, τούτο σοι δίδω· εν τω ονόματι του Ιησού Χριστού του Ναζωραίου σηκώθητι και περιπάτει.
6 But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”
6 εἶπε δὲ Πέτρος· ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον οὐχ ὑπάρχει μοι· ὃ δὲ ἔχω τοῦτό σοι δίδωμι· ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου ἔγειρε καὶ περιπάτει.
7 Και πιάσας αυτόν από της δεξιάς χειρός εσήκωσε· και παρευθύς εστερεώθησαν αι βάσεις και τα σφυρά των ποδών αυτού,
7 He took him by the right hand and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.
7 καὶ πιάσας αὐτὸν τῆς δεξιᾶς χειρὸς ἤγειρε· παραχρῆμα δὲ ἐστερεώθησαν αὐτοῦ αἱ βάσεις καὶ τὰ σφυρά,
8 και αναπηδήσας εστάθη όρθιος και περιεπάτει, και εισήλθε μετ' αυτών εις το ιερόν περιπατών και πηδών και δοξάζων τον Θεόν.
8 Leaping up, he stood and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
8 καὶ ἐξαλλόμενος ἔστη καὶ περιεπάτει, καὶ εἰσῆλθε σὺν αὐτοῖς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν περιπατῶν καὶ ἁλλόμενος καὶ αἰνῶν τὸν Θεόν.
9 Και είδεν αυτόν πας ο λαός περιπατούντα και δοξάζοντα τον Θεόν·
9 All the people saw him walking and praising God.
9 καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὸν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς περιπατοῦντα καὶ αἰνοῦντα τὸν Θεόν·
10 και εγνώριζον αυτόν ότι ούτος ήτο ο καθήμενος διά ελεημοσύνην εις την Ωραίαν πύλην του ιερού, και επλήσθησαν από θάμβους και εκστάσεως διά το γεγονός εις αυτόν.
10 They recognized him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
10 ἐπεγίνωσκόν τε αὐτὸν ὅτι οὗτος ἦν ὁ πρὸς τὴν ἐλεημοσύνην καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῇ ὡραίᾳ πύλῃ τοῦ ἱεροῦ, καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν θάμβους καὶ ἐκστάσεως ἐπὶ τῷ συμβεβηκότι αὐτῷ.
11 Και ενώ ο ιατρευθείς χωλός εκράτει τον Πέτρον και Ιωάννην, συνέδραμε προς αυτούς πας ο λαός εις την στοάν την λεγομένην Σολομώντος έκθαμβοι.
11 As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
11 Κρατοῦντος δὲ τοῦ ἰαθέντος χωλοῦ τὸν Πέτρον καὶ Ἰωάννην συνέδραμε πρὸς αὐτοὺς πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ τῇ στοᾷ τῇ καλουμένῃ Σολομῶντος ἔκθαμβοι.
12 Ιδών δε ο Πέτρος, απεκρίθη προς τον λαόν· Άνδρες Ισραηλίται, τι θαυμάζετε διά τούτο, ή τι ατενίζετε εις ημάς, ως εάν εκάμομεν από ιδίας ημών δυνάμεως ή ευσεβείας να περιπατή αυτός;
12 When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, “You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?
12 ἰδὼν δὲ Πέτρος ἀπεκρίνατο πρὸς τὸν λαόν· ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται, τί θαυμάζετε ἐπὶ τούτῳ, ἢ ἡμῖν τί ἀτενίζετε ὡς ἰδίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ εὐσεβείᾳ πεποιηκόσι τοῦ περιπατεῖν αὐτόν;
13 Ο Θεός του Αβραάμ και Ισαάκ και Ιακώβ, ο Θεός των πατέρων ημών, εδόξασε τον Υιόν αυτού Ιησούν, τον οποίον σεις παρεδώκατε και ηρνήθητε αυτόν ενώπιον του Πιλάτου, ενώ εκείνος έκρινε να απολύση αυτόν.
13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
13 ὁ Θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακώβ, ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, ἐδόξασε τὸν παῖδα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν· ὃν ὑμεῖς μὲν παρεδώκατε καὶ ἠρνήσασθε αὐτὸν κατὰ πρόσωπον Πιλάτου, κρίναντος ἐκείνου ἀπολύειν·
14 Σεις όμως τον άγιον και δίκαιον ηρνήθητε, και εζητήσατε άνδρα φονέα να χαρισθή εις εσάς,
14 But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
14 ὑμεῖς δὲ τὸν ἅγιον καὶ δίκαιον ἠρνήσασθε, καὶ ᾐτήσασθε ἄνδρα φονέα χαρισθῆναι ὑμῖν,
15 τον δε αρχηγόν της ζωής εθανατώσατε, τον οποίον ο Θεός ανέστησεν εκ νεκρών, του οποίου ημείς είμεθα μάρτυρες.
15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.
15 τὸν δὲ ἀρχηγὸν τῆς ζωῆς ἀπεκτείνατε, ὃν ὁ Θεὸς ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, οὗ ἡμεῖς μάρτυρές ἐσμεν.
16 Και διά της εις το όνομα αυτού πίστεως τούτον, τον οποίον θεωρείτε και γνωρίζετε, το όνομα αυτού εστερέωσε, και η πίστις η δι' αυτού έδωκεν εις αυτόν την τελείαν ταύτην υγείαν ενώπιον πάντων υμών.
16 By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
16 καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ πίστει τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ τοῦτον, ὃν θεωρεῖτε καὶ οἴδατε, ἐστερέωσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ πίστις ἡ δι᾽ αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τὴν ὁλοκληρίαν ταύτην ἀπέναντι πάντων ὑμῶν.
17 Και τώρα, αδελφοί, εξεύρω ότι επράξατε κατά άγνοιαν, καθώς και οι άρχοντές σας·
17 “Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
17 καὶ νῦν, ἀδελφοί, οἶδα ὅτι κατὰ ἄγνοιαν ἐπράξατε, ὥσπερ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ὑμῶν·
18 ο δε Θεός όσα προείπε διά στόματος πάντων των προφητών αυτού ότι ο Χριστός έμελλε να πάθη, εξεπλήρωσεν ούτω.
18 But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.
18 ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ἃ προκατήγγειλε διὰ στόματος πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ παθεῖν τὸν Χριστόν, ἐπλήρωσεν οὕτω.
19 Μετανοήσατε λοιπόν και επιστρέψατε, διά να εξαλειφθώσιν αι αμαρτίαι σας, διά να έλθωσι καιροί αναψυχής από της παρουσίας του Κυρίου,
19 “Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,
19 μετανοήσατε οὖν καὶ ἐπιστρέψατε εἰς τὸ ἐξαλειφθῆναι ὑμῶν τὰς ἁμαρτίας,
20 και αποστείλη τον προκεκηρυγμένον εις εσάς Ιησούν Χριστόν,
20 and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before,
20 ὅπως ἂν ἔλθωσι καιροὶ ἀναψύξεως ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ ἀποστείλῃ τὸν προκεχειρισμένον ὑμῖν Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν,
21 τον οποίον πρέπει να δεχθή ο ουρανός μέχρι των καιρών της αποκαταστάσεως πάντων, όσα ελάλησεν ο Θεός απ' αιώνος διά στόματος πάντων των αγίων αυτού προφητών.
21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets.
21 ὃν δεῖ οὐρανὸν μὲν δέξασθαι ἄχρι χρόνων ἀποκαταστάσεως πάντων ὧν ἐλάλησεν ὁ Θεὸς διὰ στόματος [πάντων] ἁγίων αὐτοῦ προφητῶν ἀπ᾽ αἰῶνος.
22 Διότι ο Μωϋσής είπε προς τους πατέρας Ότι Κύριος ο Θεός σας θέλει αναστήσει εις εσάς προφήτην εκ των αδελφών σας ως εμέ· αυτού θέλετε ακούει κατά πάντα όσα αν λαλήση προς εσάς.
22 For Moses indeed said to the fathers, ‘The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.
22 Μωϋσῆς μὲν γὰρ πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας εἶπεν ὅτι προφήτην ὑμῖν ἀναστήσει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν ὡς ἐμέ· αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἂν λαλήσῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
23 Και πάσα ψυχή, ήτις δεν ακούση του προφήτου εκείνου, θέλει εξολοθρευθή εκ του λαού.
23 It will be that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.’
23 ἔσται δὲ πᾶσα ψυχή, ἥτις ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ τοῦ προφήτου ἐκείνου, ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ.
24 Και πάντες δε οι προφήται από Σαμουήλ και των καθεξής, όσοι ελάλησαν, προανήγγειλαν και τας ημέρας ταύτας.
24 Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, also told of these days.
24 καὶ πάντες δὲ οἱ προφῆται ἀπὸ Σαμουὴλ καὶ τῶν καθεξῆς ὅσοι ἐλάλησαν, καὶ κατήγγειλαν τὰς ἡμέρας ταύτας.
25 Σεις είσθε υιοί των προφητών και της διαθήκης, την οποίαν έκαμεν ο Θεός προς τους πατέρας ημών, λέγων προς τον Αβραάμ· Και εν τω σπέρματί σου θέλουσιν ευλογηθή πάσαι αι φυλαί της γης.
25 You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘All the families of the earth will be blessed through your offspring.’
25 ὑμεῖς ἐστε υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ τῆς διαθήκης ἧς διέθετο ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν, λέγων πρὸς Ἀβραάμ· καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου ἐνευλογηθήσονται πᾶσαι αἱ πατριαὶ τῆς γῆς.
26 Προς εσάς πρώτον ο Θεός αναστήσας τον Υιόν αυτού Ιησούν απέστειλεν αυτόν διά να σας ευλογή όταν επιστρέφητε έκαστος από των πονηριών υμών.
26 God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to you first to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your wickedness.”
26 ὑμῖν πρῶτον ὁ Θεὸς ἀναστήσας τὸν παῖδα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν εὐλογοῦντα ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέφειν ἕκαστον ἀπὸ τῶν πονηριῶν ὑμῶν.

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).
Everywhere we find these two Apostles in great harmony together. "To him Simon Peter beckoned." (John xiii. 24.) These two also "came together to the sepulchre. (Ib. xx. 3 et seq.) And concerning John, Peter said unto Christ, "And what shall this man do?" (Ib. xxi.

Then, at last, He came on to death itself, that He might be "the first-born from the dead, that in all things He might have the pre-eminence," the Prince of life, existing before all, and going before all.
… at the gate rose up at Peter's voice, and walked on his feet, so that men marvelled, Peter spoke to them to this effect, that it was not by his own power that he did this, but in the virtue of Him whom they slew. Many pricked in the heart said, "What shall we do?" For they saw themselves bound …

The whole people being in amazement, they said, "Why give heed to us, as though by our own power or authority we had made him to walk?" But the Lord, though He spake oftentimes many things modestly, and beneath His own glory, what saith He here, to establish the doctrine of them that were amazed at Him for His authority?

"He must reign," till such and such a time...and "be received by heaven until the time of restitution," and "have the seat at the Right Hand until the overthrow of His enemies." But after this?
