The apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit, and speaking various languages, |
are admired by some, and derided by others; |
whom Peter disproves; |
17 καὶ ἔσται ἐν ταῖς ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις, λέγει ὁ θεὸς, |
ἐκχέω ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματος μου ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα, |
καὶ προφητεύσουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν |
καὶ οἱ νεανίσκοι ὑμῶν ὁράσεις ὄψονται |
καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ὑμῶν ἐνυπνίοις ἐνυπνιασθήσονται· |
18 καὶ γε ἐπὶ τοὺς δούλους μου καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς δούλας μου |
ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐκχεῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματος μου |
καὶ προφητεύσουσιν. |
19 καὶ δώσω τέρατα ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω |
καὶ σημεῖα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κάτω, |
αἷμα καὶ πῦρ καὶ ἀτμίδα καπνοῦ. |
20 ὁ ἥλιος μεταστραφήσεται εἰς σκότος |
καὶ ἡ σελήνη εἰς αἷμα, |
πρὶν ἐλθεῖν ἡμέραν κυρίου τὴν μεγάλην καὶ ἐπιφανῆ. |
21 καὶ ἔσται πᾶς ὃς ἐὰν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου σωθήσεται. |
προορώμην τὸν κύριον ἐνώπιον μου διὰ παντός, |
ὅτι ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἐστιν ἵνα μὴ σαλευθῶ. |
26 διὰ τοῦτο ἠυφράνθη μου ἡ καρδία καὶ ἠγαλλιάσατο ἡ γλῶσσα μου, |
ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου κατασκηνώσει ἐπ' ἐλπίδι, |
27 ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ᾄδην |
οὐδὲ δώσεις τὸν ὅσιον σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν. |
28 ἐγνώρισας μοι ὁδοὺς ζωῆς, |
πληρώσεις με εὐφροσύνης μετὰ τοῦ προσώπου σου. |
οὔτε ἐγκατελείφθη εἰς ᾄδην |
οὔτε ἡ σὰρξ αὐτοῦ εἶδεν διαφθοράν. |
εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου· |
κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, |
35 ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου. |
36 ἀσφαλῶς οὖν γινωσκέτω πᾶς οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι καὶ κύριον αὐτὸν καὶ χριστὸν ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τοῦτον τὸν Ἰησοῦν ὃν ὑμεῖς ἐσταυρώσατε, |
he baptizes a great number who were converted; |
who afterwards devoutly and charitably converse together; |
the apostles working many miracles, |
and God daily increasing his church. |
