Ἀγαπητοί μὴ παντὶ πνεύματι πιστεύετε ἀλλὰ δοκιμάζετε τὰ πνεύματα εἰ ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν ὅτι πολλοὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐξεληλύθασιν εἰς τὸν κόσμον
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
ὁ δὲ Πέτρος καὶ Ἰωάννης ἀποκριθέντες πρὸς αὐτούς εἶπον Εἰ δίκαιόν ἐστιν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἀκούειν μᾶλλον ἢ τοῦ θεοῦ κρίνατε
But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
προφῆται δὲ δύο ἢ τρεῖς λαλείτωσαν καὶ οἱ ἄλλοι διακρινέτωσαν·
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
אָכֵן רֽוּחַ-הִיא בֶאֱנוֹשׁ וְנִשְׁמַת שַׁדַּי תְּבִינֵֽם׃
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
וְאָמַרְתִּי לֹֽא-אֶזְכְּרֶנּוּ וְלֹֽא-אֲדַבֵּר עוֹד בִּשְׁמוֹ וְהָיָה בְלִבִּי כְּאֵשׁ בֹּעֶרֶת עָצֻר בְּעַצְמֹתָי וְנִלְאֵיתִי כַּֽלְכֵל וְלֹא אוּכָֽל׃
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
וַיֻּגַּד לְשָׁאוּל לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה דָוִד (בנוית) בְּנָיוֹת בָּֽרָמָֽה׃
And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ בְנֵֽי-הַנְּבִיאִים אֲשֶׁר-בֵּֽית-אֵל אֶל-אֱלִישָׁע וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הֲיָדַעְתָּ כִּי הַיּוֹם יְהוָה לֹקֵחַ אֶת-אֲדֹנֶיךָ מֵעַל רֹאשֶׁךָ וַיֹּאמֶר גַּם-אֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי הֶֽחֱשֽׁוּ׃
And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
וַיָּבֹאוּ שָׁם הַגִּבְעָתָה וְהִנֵּה חֶֽבֶל-נְבִאִים לִקְרָאתוֹ וַתִּצְלַח עָלָיו רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים וַיִּתְנַבֵּא בְּתוֹכָֽם׃
And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
