Acts 5:24 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) as (hōs) they heard (ēkousan) the (tous) words (logous) of these (toutous), both (te) the (ho) lead soldier (stratēgos) of the (tou) sacred place (heirou) and (kai) the (hoi) chief sacrificial priests (archiereis) were being thoroughly perplexed (diēporoun) about (peri) them (autōn), [about, RE] what (ti) perhaps (an) may cause itself to come to pass (genoito) for this (touto)!

 

Acts 5:25 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) someone (tis) having caused himself to become alongside (paragenomenos), he reported (apēngeilen) to them (autois) that (hoti), “Behold (idou), the (hoi) males (andres) whom (hous) you caused yourselves to place (ethesthe) in (en) the (tē) guardroom (phulakē) are (eisin) in (en) the (tō) sacred place (hierō), and (kai) teaching (didaskontes) the (ton) people (laon)!”

 

Acts 5:26 (LIT/UBS4) Then (tote) the (ho) lead soldier (stratēgos) having gone away (apelthōn), together with (sun) the (tois) under-oarsmen5257 (hupēretais), he was leading (ēgen) them (autous) [to [a/the] Sanhedrin, RE], absolutely not (ou) together with (meta) force (bias)!

 

Because (gar) they were being made fearful (ephobounto) of the (ton) people (laon), [that, AE] they might not be stoned (mē lithasthōsin)!

 

Acts 5:27 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) they having led (agagontes) them (autous), they stood (estēsan) [them, RE] in (en) the (tō) Sanhedrin (sunedriō).

 

And (kai) the (ho) chief sacrificial priest (archiereus) inquired (epērōtēsen) of them (autous),

 

Acts 5:28 (LIT/UBS4) saying (legōn), “[With, AE] [an] instruction (parangelia) did we absolutely not give instruction (ou parēngeilamen) to you (humin) not (mē) to teach (didaskein) over (epi) the (tō) name (onomati) [given, AE] to this one (toutō)!?

 

And (kai) behold (idou), you have filled (peplērōkate) the (tēn) Jerusalem (Hierousalēm) of the (tēs) orthodoxy (didachēs) of you (humōn)!

 

And (kai) do you wish for yourselves (boulesthe) to lead over (epagagein) upon (eph’) us (hēmas) the (to) blood (haima) of the (tou) mortal (anthrōpou), of this one (toutou)!?”

 

Acts 5:29 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) having been caused to make [a] decision (apokritheis), the (ho) Peter (Petros) and (kai) the (hoi) apostles (apostoloi) enunciated (eipon), “Is it required (dei) to be ruled by persuasion (peitharchein) more (mallon) to God (theō) or (ē) [more, RE] to mortals (anthrōpois)?

 

Acts 5:30 (LIT/UBS4) The (ho) God (theos) of the (tōn) fathers (paterōn) of us (hēmōn) awoke (ēgeiren) Jesus (Iēsoun), of whom (hon) you (humeis) caused yourselves to thoroughly handle (diecheirisasthe), you having hung (kremasantes) [him, AE] upon (epi) [a] tree (xulou)!

 

Acts 5:31 (LIT/UBS4) This (touton) [Jesus, v30, RE] the (ho) God (theos) set above5312 (hupsōsen) to the (tē) right (dexia) of him (autou), [a] beginning one (archēgon), and (kai) [a] savior4990 (sōtēra), to give (dounai) repentance (metanoian) to the (tō) Israel (israēl), and (kai) [a] letting go (aphesin) of sins (hamartiōn).

 

(Both the God and his son Christ Jesus are referred to as saviors by the apostles. The clear distinction the holy scriptures make between the roles of the two is that the God prepared the plan and the schematic for our salvation (Heb. 3:1-4; Rom. 3:23-25; Eph. 1:7-9; Luke 1:47; 1 Tim. 1:1, 2:3, 4:10; 2 Tim. 1:9; Tit. 1:2-3, 2:10, 3:4; Jude 1:25, Rev. 7:10), while Christ Jesus, who caused himself to follow God’s plan and schematic, caused himself to become God’s enabling one, or instrument of our salvation (Heb. 5:9; Luke 2:11; John 4:42; Acts 5:31, 13:23; Eph. 5:23; Phil. 3:20; 2 Tim. 1:10; Tit. 1:2-4, 2:13, 3:6; 2 Pet. 1:1, 1:11, 2:20, 3:2, 18; 1 John 4:14).

 

Acts 5:32 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) we (hēmeis) are (esmen) witnesses (martures) of the (tōn) statements (rhēmatōn) of these (toutōn), and (kai) of the (to) Spirit (pneuma), the (to) holy one (hagion), which (ho) the (ho) God (theos) gave (edoken) to the ones (tois) being ruled by persuasion (peitharchousin) to him (autō)!”

 

Acts 5:33 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the ones (hoi) having heard (akousantes), they were being sawed through1282 (dieprionto).

 

And (kai) they were wishing to themselves (eboulonto) to annihilate (anelein) them (autous).

 

Acts 5:34 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) [a] certain one (tis) in (en) the (tō) Sanhedrin (sunedriō) having stood up (anastas), [a] Pharisee (Pharisaios), Gamaliel (Gamaliel) by name (onomati), [a] teacher of law (nomodidaskalos), one highly esteemed (timios) by all (panti) the (tō) people (laō), he ordered (ekeleusen) the (tous) mortals (anthrōpous) to make (poiēsai) [a] little bit (brachu) [of space, AE],

 

Acts 5:35 (LIT/UBS4) and (kai) he enunciated (eipen) to them (autous), “Males (andres), Israelites (Israēlitai), pay attention (prosechete) to yourselves (heautois), over (epi) the (tois) mortals (anthrōpois), these ones (toutois), of what (ti) you are about (mellete) to habitually practice (prassein)!”

 

Acts 5:36 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) before (pro) the (tōn) days (hēmerōn) of these (toutōn) Theudas (Theudas) stood up (anestē), who (hos) was annihilated (anērethē), saying (legōn) to be (einai) someone (tina) himself (heauton), to whom (hō) were glued (proseklithē) [a] number (arithmos) of males (andrōn), as (hōs) of four hundreds (tetrakosiōn).

 

And (kai) all (pantes), as many as (hosoi) were being persuaded (epeithonto) to him (autō), they were thoroughly brought down (dieluthēsan), and (kai) they caused themselves to become (egenonto) into (eis) [being] absolutely not one (ouden) [of anyone, RE]!

 

Acts 5:37 (LIT/UBS4) With (meta) [the passing, AE] of this (touton) Judas (Ioudas) the (ho) Galilean (Galilaios) stood up (anestē) in (en) the (tais) days (hēmerais) of the (tēs) tax registration (apographēs), and (kai) [the] people (laon) departed away (apestēsen) behind (opisō) him (autou).

 

And that one (kakeinos) lost himself (apōleto), and (kai) all (pantes), as many as (hosoi) were being persuaded (epeithonto) to him (autō), were scattered through (dieskorpisthēsan).

 

Acts 5:38 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) the things (ta) I say (legō) to you (humin) now (nun), depart away (apostēte) from (apo) the (tōn) mortals (anthrōpōn) of these (toutōn), and (kai) <let> them (autous) go (aphete).

 

 Because (hoti) if perhaps (ean) the (hē) counsel (boulē), this one (hautē), or (ē) the (to) work (ergon), this one (touto), may be (ē) out (ex) of mortals (anthrōpōn), it shall be brought down (kataluthēsetai)!

 

Acts 5:39 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) if (ei) it is (estin) out (ek) of God (theou), you shall absolutely not cause yourselves to be inherently powered (ou dunēsesthe) to bring them down (katalusai autous);

 

and (kai) at no time (mēpote) may you be found (heurethēte) [to be] ones fighting God (theomachoi)!”  

 

But (de) they were persuaded (epeisthēsan) to him (autō).

 

Acts 5:40 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) they having caused themselves to call aloud to (proskalesamenoi) the (tous) apostles (apostolous), they having skinned1194 (deirantes) [them, AE], they gave instruction (parēngeilan) not (mē) to speak (lalein) over (epi) the (tō) name (onomati) of the (tou) Jesus (Iēsou), and (kai) they sent [them, AE] away (apelusan).

 

Acts 5:41 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), truly (men), the (hoi) [apostles, v40, RE] were causing themselves to go (eporeuonto) rejoicing (chairontes) from (apo) [the] face (prosōpou) of the (tou) Sanhedrin (sunedriou), because (hoti) they were valued down equally (katēxiōthēsan) to be dishonored (atimasthēnai) over (huper) [the sake, AE] of the (tou) name (onomatos)!

 

Acts 5:42 (LIT/UBS4) And (te) every (pasan) day (hēmeran) in (en) the (tō) sacred place (hierō), and (kai) down (kat’) [every, RE] house (oikon), they were absolutely not causing themselves to pause upon (ouk epauonto) teaching (didaskontes), and (kai) causing themselves to evangelize (euangelizomenoi) the (ton) Christ (Christon) Jesus (Iēsoun)!
