ΠΡΑΞΕΙΣ ΤΩΝ ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΩΝ 4
1881 Westcott-Hort New Testament
4 λαλουντων δε αυτων προς τον λαον επεστησαν αυτοις οι αρχιερεις και ο στρατηγος του ιερου και οι σαδδουκαιοι
2 διαπονουμενοι δια το διδασκειν αυτους τον λαον και καταγγελλειν εν τω ιησου την αναστασιν την εκ νεκρων
3 και επεβαλον αυτοις τας χειρας και εθεντο εις τηρησιν εις την αυριον ην γαρ εσπερα ηδη
4 πολλοι δε των ακουσαντων τον λογον επιστευσαν και εγενηθη αριθμος των ανδρων ως χιλιαδες πεντε
5 εγενετο δε επι την αυριον συναχθηναι αυτων τους αρχοντας και τους πρεσβυτερους και τους γραμματεις εν ιερουσαλημ
6 και αννας ο αρχιερευς και καιαφας και ιωαννης και αλεξανδρος και οσοι ησαν εκ γενους αρχιερατικου
7 και στησαντες αυτους εν τω μεσω επυνθανοντο εν ποια δυναμει η εν ποιω ονοματι εποιησατε τουτο υμεις
8 τοτε πετρος πλησθεις πνευματος αγιου ειπεν προς αυτους αρχοντες του λαου και πρεσβυτεροι
9 ει ημεις σημερον ανακρινομεθα επι ευεργεσια ανθρωπου ασθενους εν τινι ουτος σεσωσται
10 γνωστον εστω πασιν υμιν και παντι τω λαω ισραηλ οτι εν τω ονοματι ιησου χριστου του ναζωραιου ον υμεις εσταυρωσατε ον ο θεος ηγειρεν εκ νεκρων εν τουτω ουτος παρεστηκεν ενωπιον υμων υγιης
11 ουτος εστιν ο λιθος ο εξουθενηθεις υφ υμων των οικοδομων ο γενομενος εις κεφαλην γωνιας
12 και ουκ εστιν εν αλλω ουδενι η σωτηρια ουδε γαρ ονομα εστιν ετερον υπο τον ουρανον το δεδομενον εν ανθρωποις εν ω δει σωθηναι ημας
13 θεωρουντες δε την του πετρου παρρησιαν και ιωαννου και καταλαβομενοι οτι ανθρωποι αγραμματοι εισιν και ιδιωται εθαυμαζον επεγινωσκον τε αυτους οτι συν τω ιησου ησαν
14 τον τε ανθρωπον βλεποντες συν αυτοις εστωτα τον τεθεραπευμενον ουδεν ειχον αντειπειν
15 κελευσαντες δε αυτους εξω του συνεδριου απελθειν συνεβαλλον προς αλληλους
16 λεγοντες τι ποιησωμεν τοις ανθρωποις τουτοις οτι μεν γαρ γνωστον σημειον γεγονεν δι αυτων πασιν τοις κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ φανερον και ου δυναμεθα αρνεισθαι
17 αλλ ινα μη επι πλειον διανεμηθη εις τον λαον απειλησωμεθα αυτοις μηκετι λαλειν επι τω ονοματι τουτω μηδενι ανθρωπων
18 και καλεσαντες αυτους παρηγγειλαν καθολου μη φθεγγεσθαι μηδε διδασκειν επι τω ονοματι [του] ιησου
19 ο δε πετρος και ιωαννης αποκριθεντες ειπον προς αυτους ει δικαιον εστιν ενωπιον του θεου υμων ακουειν μαλλον η του θεου κρινατε
20 ου δυναμεθα γαρ ημεις α ειδαμεν και ηκουσαμεν μη λαλειν
21 οι δε προσαπειλησαμενοι απελυσαν αυτους μηδεν ευρισκοντες το πως κολασωνται αυτους δια τον λαον οτι παντες εδοξαζον τον θεον επι τω γεγονοτι
22 ετων γαρ ην πλειονων τεσσερακοντα ο ανθρωπος εφ ον γεγονει το σημειον τουτο της ιασεως
23 απολυθεντες δε ηλθον προς τους ιδιους και απηγγειλαν οσα προς αυτους οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι ειπαν
24 οι δε ακουσαντες ομοθυμαδον ηραν φωνην προς τον θεον και ειπαν δεσποτα συ ο ποιησας τον ουρανον και την γην και την θαλασσαν και παντα τα εν αυτοις
25 ο του πατρος ημων δια πνευματος αγιου στοματος δαυιδ παιδος σου ειπων ινατι εφρυαξαν εθνη και λαοι εμελετησαν κενα
26 παρεστησαν οι βασιλεις της γης και οι αρχοντες συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο κατα του κυριου και κατα του χριστου αυτου
27 συνηχθησαν γαρ επ αληθειας εν τη πολει ταυτη επι τον αγιον παιδα σου ιησουν ον εχρισας ηρωδης τε και ποντιος πιλατος συν εθνεσιν και λαοις ισραηλ
28 ποιησαι οσα η χειρ σου και η βουλη προωρισεν γενεσθαι
29 και τα νυν κυριε επιδε επι τας απειλας αυτων και δος τοις δουλοις σου μετα παρρησιας πασης λαλειν τον λογον σου
30 εν τω την χειρα εκτεινειν σε εις ιασιν και σημεια και τερατα γινεσθαι δια του ονοματος του αγιου παιδος σου ιησου
31 και δεηθεντων αυτων εσαλευθη ο τοπος εν ω ησαν συνηγμενοι και επλησθησαν απαντες του αγιου πνευματος και ελαλουν τον λογον του θεου μετα παρρησιας
32 του δε πληθους των πιστευσαντων ην καρδια και ψυχη μια και ουδε εις τι των υπαρχοντων αυτω ελεγεν ιδιον ειναι αλλ ην αυτοις παντα κοινα
33 και δυναμει μεγαλη απεδιδουν το μαρτυριον οι αποστολοι του κυριου ιησου της αναστασεως χαρις τε μεγαλη ην επι παντας αυτους
34 ουδε γαρ ενδεης τις ην εν αυτοις οσοι γαρ κτητορες χωριων η οικιων υπηρχον πωλουντες εφερον τας τιμας των πιπρασκομενων
35 και ετιθουν παρα τους ποδας των αποστολων διεδιδετο δε εκαστω καθοτι αν τις χρειαν ειχεν
36 ιωσηφ δε ο επικληθεις βαρναβας απο των αποστολων ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον υιος παρακλησεως λευιτης κυπριος τω γενει
37 υπαρχοντος αυτω αγρου πωλησας ηνεγκεν το χρημα και εθηκεν παρα τους ποδας των αποστολων
Atti 4
Nuova Riveduta 1994
L'arresto di Pietro e di Giovanni
4 (A)Mentre essi parlavano al popolo, giunsero i *sacerdoti, il capitano del *tempio e i *sadducei, 2 indignati perché essi insegnavano al popolo e annunziavano in Gesú la risurrezione dai morti. 3 Misero loro le mani addosso, e li gettarono in prigione fino al giorno seguente, perché era già sera. 4 Ma molti di coloro che avevano udito la Parola credettero; e il numero degli uomini salí a circa cinquemila.
5 Il giorno seguente, i loro capi, con gli *anziani e gli *scribi, si riunirono a *Gerusalemme, 6 con *Anna, il sommo sacerdote, *Caiafa, Giovanni, Alessandro e tutti quelli che appartenevano alla famiglia dei sommi sacerdoti. 7 E, fatti condurre in mezzo a loro *Pietro e *Giovanni, domandarono: «Con quale potere o in nome di chi avete fatto questo?»
8 Allora Pietro, pieno di Spirito Santo, disse loro:
«Capi del popolo e anziani, 9 se oggi siamo esaminati a proposito di un beneficio fatto a un uomo infermo, per sapere com'è che quest'uomo è stato guarito, 10 sia noto a tutti voi e a tutto il popolo d'*Israele che questo è stato fatto nel nome di Gesú Cristo, il Nazareno, che voi avete crocifisso, e che Dio ha risuscitato dai morti; è per la sua virtú che quest'uomo compare guarito, in presenza vostra. 11 Egli è
“la pietra che è stata da voi costruttori rifiutata,
ed è divenuta la pietra angolare”[a].
12 In nessun altro è la salvezza; perché non vi è sotto il cielo nessun altro nome che sia stato dato agli uomini, per mezzo del quale noi dobbiamo essere salvati».
13 Essi, vista la franchezza di Pietro e di Giovanni, si meravigliavano, avendo capito che erano popolani senza istruzione; riconoscevano che erano stati con Gesú e, 14 vedendo l'uomo che era stato guarito, lí presente con loro, non potevano dir niente in contrario. 15 Ma, dopo aver ordinato loro di uscire dal *sinedrio, si consultarono gli uni gli altri dicendo: 16 «Che faremo a questi uomini? Che un evidente miracolo sia stato fatto per mezzo di loro, è noto a tutti gli abitanti di Gerusalemme, e noi non possiamo negarlo. 17 Ma, affinché ciò non si diffonda maggiormente tra il popolo, ordiniamo loro con minacce di non parlar piú a nessuno nel nome di costui». 18 E, avendoli chiamati, imposero loro di non parlare né insegnare affatto nel nome di Gesú. 19 Ma Pietro e Giovanni risposero loro: «Giudicate voi se è giusto, davanti a Dio, ubbidire a voi anziché a Dio. 20 Quanto a noi, non possiamo non parlare delle cose che abbiamo viste e udite». 21 Ed essi, minacciatili di nuovo, li lasciarono andare, non trovando assolutamente come poterli punire, a causa del popolo; perché tutti glorificavano Dio per quello che era accaduto. 22 Infatti l'uomo in cui questo miracolo[b] della guarigione era stato compiuto aveva piú di quarant'anni.
La chiesa riunita in preghiera
23 (B)Rimessi quindi in libertà, vennero ai loro, e riferirono tutte le cose che i capi dei sacerdoti e gli anziani avevano dette. 24 Udito ciò, essi alzarono concordi la voce a Dio, e dissero: «Signore, tu sei colui che ha fatto il cielo, la terra, il mare e tutte le cose che sono in essi; 25 colui che mediante lo Spirito Santo ha detto per bocca del tuo servo *Davide, nostro padre:
“Perché questo tumulto fra le nazioni,
e i popoli meditano cose vane?
26 I re della terra si sono sollevati,
i principi si sono riuniti insieme
contro il Signore e contro il suo Cristo”[c].
27 Proprio in questa città, contro il tuo santo servitore Gesú, che tu hai unto, si sono radunati *Erode e Ponzio *Pilato, insieme con le nazioni e con tutto il popolo d'Israele, 28 per fare tutte le cose che la tua volontà[d] e il tuo consiglio avevano prestabilito che avvenissero. 29 Adesso, Signore, considera le loro minacce, e concedi ai tuoi servi di annunziare la tua Parola in tutta franchezza, 30 stendendo la tua mano per guarire, perché si facciano segni e prodigi mediante il nome del tuo santo servitore Gesú».
31 Dopo che ebbero pregato, il luogo dove erano riuniti, tremò; e tutti furono riempiti dello Spirito Santo, e annunziavano la Parola di Dio con franchezza.
I credenti di Gerusalemme mettono in comune i loro beni
32 (C)La moltitudine di quelli che avevano creduto era d'un sol cuore e di un'anima sola; non vi era chi dicesse sua alcuna delle cose che possedeva ma tutto era in comune tra di loro. 33 Gli *apostoli, con grande potenza, rendevano testimonianza della risurrezione del Signore Gesú; e grande grazia era sopra tutti loro. 34 Infatti non c'era nessun bisognoso tra di loro; perché tutti quelli che possedevano poderi o case li vendevano, portavano l'importo delle cose vendute, 35 e lo deponevano ai piedi degli apostoli; poi, veniva distribuito a ciascuno, secondo il bisogno.
36 Or Giuseppe, soprannominato dagli apostoli *Barnaba (che tradotto vuol dire: Figlio di consolazione), *Levita, cipriota di nascita, 37 avendo un campo, lo vendette, e ne consegnò il ricavato deponendolo ai piedi degli apostoli.
Acts 4
New International Version
Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin
4 The priests and the captain of the temple guard(A) and the Sadducees(B) came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. 2 They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.(C) 3 They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail(D) until the next day. 4 But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew(E) to about five thousand.
5 The next day the rulers,(F) the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. 6 Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas,(G) John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family. 7 They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit,(H) said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people!(I) 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame(J) and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,(K) whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead,(L) that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”(N)
13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John(O) and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men,(P) they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.(Q) 14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. 15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin(R) and then conferred together. 16 “What are we going to do with these men?”(S) they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign,(T) and we cannot deny it. 17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”
18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.(U) 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him?(V) You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking(W) about what we have seen and heard.”(X)
21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people(Y) were praising God(Z) for what had happened. 22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
The Believers Pray
23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God.(AA) “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.(AB) 25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David:(AC)
“‘Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord
and against his anointed one.[b]’[c](AD)
27 Indeed Herod(AE) and Pontius Pilate(AF) met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus,(AG) whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen.(AH) 29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.(AI) 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders(AJ) through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”(AK)
31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken.(AL) And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit(AM) and spoke the word of God(AN) boldly.(AO)
The Believers Share Their Possessions
32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.(AP) 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify(AQ) to the resurrection(AR) of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace(AS) was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them,(AT) brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet,(AU) and it was distributed to anyone who had need.(AV)
36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas(AW) (which means “son of encouragement”), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.(AX)
