5Geneta de epi tan aurion sunagira autoiu toin archontoin kai ⸀toin presbuteroin kai ⸁toin grammatevoin ⸀en IerousalēmThe next day the rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem, 6kai ⸂Hannos tos archierevos kai Kaiafos kai Iōannos kai Alexandros⸃ kai hosois ale ek geneu archieratikeu,along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others from the high priest’s family. 7kai stēarantois autoin en ⸀te mese punthanole; En poia dunamia ē en poie onome poiava houtem vis?They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?” 8tote Petros pimplēirantos pneumeu hagieu legata pros autoin; Archontoir tou laou kai ⸀presbuteroir,Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people! 9ei nis sēmeron anakrinonō epi euergesia anthrōpou asthenou, en tine houtos ⸀sōzotē,If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed, 10gnōstem atōr pantoi vi kai panto to lao Israēl hoti en te onome Iēsu Christou tou Nazōraiou, hon vis staurava, hon tos theos egerata ek nekroiu, en houte houtos parastēatē enōpion vu hugios.then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11houtos atō tos lithos tos exouthenirantos hupo vu toiu ⸀oikodomoiu, tos generantos eis kefalan gōniau.This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ 12kai ouk atō en alloso oudeno tas sōtērēas, ⸀oude gar onomem atō heterem ⸂hupo ton ouranon⸃ tem dōorēntem en anthrōpoi en he datō sōzira nin.Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened. 22eteiu gar ate pollotereiu tesserakonta tos anthrōpos epi hon ⸀genatelē tem sēmem houtem tau iasiau.For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
23Apoluirantois de erchala pros toin idioin kai apangelala hoseim pros autoin tois archierevois kai tois presbuterois legala.On their release, Peter and John returned to their own people and reported everything that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24tois de akouarantois homothumadōs airala fōnan pros ton theon kai legala; Despotor, ⸀sis tos poiarantos ton ouranon kai tan gēan kai tan thalassan kai panteim teim en autei,When the believers heard this, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them. 25tos ⸂tou patrou nu⸃ dia ⸂pneumeu hagieu⸃ stomeu David paidou su legarantos; Hinati fruassala ethneim kai laois meletala keneim?You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of Your servant, our father David: ‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 26parastēala tois basilevois tau gēau kai tois archontois sunagila epi tem autem kata tou kuriou kai kata tou christou autou.The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against His Anointed One.’ 27sunagila gar epi alētheiau ⸂en ta pola houta⸃ epi ton hagion paidon su Iēsun, hon chriasa, Hērōdos tē kai Pontios Pilatos sun ethnei kai laoi Israēl,In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed. 28poiara hoseim tas cheiras su kai tas ⸀boulas proorizata genera.They carried out what Your hand and will had decided beforehand would happen. 29kai teim nun, kurior, eforasar epi tain apeilain autoiu kai dōasar toi douloi su meta parrēsiau pantau lalarō ton logon su,And now, Lord, consider their threats, and enable Your servants to speak Your word with complete boldness, 30en te tan cheiran ⸀su ekteinarō sin eis iasian kai sēmeim kai terateim genorō dia teu onomeu tou hagiou paidou su Iēsu.as You stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.” 31kai dirantoiu autoiu saleuita tos topos en ho ale sunagorēntois, kai pimplēila hapantois ⸂teu hagieu pneumeu,⸃ kai lalale ton logon tou theou meta parrēsiau.After they had prayed, their meeting place was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
