Ἐγένετο It came to pass δέ now ὡς about ὡρῶν hours τριῶν three διάστημα afterward, καί also ἡ the γυνή wife αὐτοῦ of him, μή not εἰδυῖα knowing τό that γεγονός having come to pass, εἰσῆλθεν. came in. ἀπεκρίθη Replied δέ then πρός to αὐτήν her Πέτρος· Peter, Εἰπέ Tell μοι, me εἰ if τοσούτου for so much, τό the χωρίον land ἀπέδοσθε; you sold? ἡ - δέ And εἶπεν· she said, Ναί, Yes, τοσούτου. for so much. ὁ - δέ But Πέτρος Peter [said] πρός to αὐτήν· her, Τί Why [is it] ὅτι that συνεφωνήθη have agreed together ὑμῖν you πειράσαι to test τό the Πνεῦμα Spirit Κυρίου; of [the] Lord? ἰδού Behold, οἱ the πόδες feet τῶν of those θαψάντων having buried τόν the ἄνδρα husband σου of you ἐπί [are] at τῇ the θύρᾳ door, καί and ἐξοίσουσιν they will carry out σε. you. Ἔπεσεν She fell down δέ then παραχρῆμα immediately πρός at τούς the πόδας feet αὐτοῦ of him καί and ἐξέψυξεν· breathed her last. εἰσελθόντες Having come in δέ then, οἱ the νεανίσκοι young [men] εὗρον found αὐτήν her νεκράν dead; καί and ἐξενέγκαντες having carried out, ἔθαψαν they buried [her] πρός by τόν the ἄνδρα husband αὐτῆς, of her. Καί And ἐγένετο came φόβος fear μέγας great ἐφ ̓ upon ὅλην all τήν the ἐκκλησίαν church καί and ἐπί upon πάντας all τούς those ἀκούοντας hearing ταῦτα. these things.

Διά By δέ now τῶν the χειρῶν hands τῶν of the ἀποστόλων apostles ἐγίνετο were happening σημεῖα signs καί and τέρατα wonders πολλά many ἐν among τῷ the λαῷ. people. καί And ἦσαν they were ὁμοθυμαδόν with one accord, ἅπαντες all ἐν in τῇ the στοᾷ Colonnade Σολομῶντος, of Solomon; τῶν of the δέ now λοιπῶν rest, οὐδείς no one ἐτόλμα dared κολλᾶσθαι to join αὐτοῖς, them, ἀλλ ̓ but ἐμεγάλυνεν were magnifying αὐτούς them ὁ the λαός. people; μᾶλλον more δέ now προσετίθεντο were added πιστεύοντες believing τῷ in the Κυρίῳ, Lord, πλήθη multitudes ἀνδρῶν of men τέ both, καί and γυναικῶν, women, ὥστε so as καί even εἰς into τάς the πλατείας streets ἐκφέρειν to bring out τούς the ἀσθενεῖς sick, καί and τιθέναι to put [them] ἐπί on κλιναρίων cots καί and κραβάττων, mats, ἵνα that ἐρχομένου coming Πέτρου of Peter, κἄν at least ἡ the σκιά shadow ἐπισκιάσῃ might envelop τινί some αὐτῶν. of them. συνήρχετο Were coming together δέ now καί also τό the πλῆθος multitude τῶν from the πέριξ surrounding πόλεων cities Ἰερουσαλήμ Jerusalem, φέροντες bringing ἀσθενεῖς [the] sick καί and ὀχλουμένους [those] being tormented ὑπό by πνευμάτων spirits ἀκαθάρτων, unclean, οἵτινες who ἐθεραπεύοντο were healed ἅπαντες. all.
