Μήτι τὸ ὕδωρ κωλῦσαί δύναται τις τοῦ μὴ βαπτισθῆναι τούτους οἵτινες τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἔλαβον καθὼς καὶ ἡμεῖς
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
μενοῦνγε ὦ ἄνθρωπε σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ ἀνταποκρινόμενος τῷ θεῷ μὴ ἐρεῖ τὸ πλάσμα τῷ πλάσαντι Τί με ἐποίησας οὕτως
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Τίς γὰρ ἔγνω νοῦν κυρίου ἢ τίς σύμβουλος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller?
וְכָל-דָּאְרֵי אַרְעָא כְּלָה חֲשִׁיבִין וּֽכְמִצְבְּיֵהּ עָבֵד בְּחֵיל שְׁמַיָּא וְדָאְרֵי אַרְעָא וְלָא אִיתַי דִּֽי-יְמַחֵא בִידֵהּ וְיֵאמַר לֵהּ מָה עֲבַֽדְתְּ׃
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
מַדּוּעַ אֵלָיו רִיבוֹתָ כִּי כָל-דְּבָרָיו לֹא יַעֲנֶֽה׃
Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
καὶ ὁ καρδιογνώστης θεὸς ἐμαρτύρησεν αὐτοῖς δοὺς αὐτοῖς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον καθὼς καὶ ἡμῖν
And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
τῷ γὰρ Μωσῇ λέγει Ἐλεήσω ὃν ἂν ἐλεῶ καὶ οἰκτειρήσω ὃν ἂν οἰκτείρω
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
הַאַף תָּפֵר מִשְׁפָּטִי תַּרְשִׁיעֵנִי לְמַעַן תִּצְדָּֽק׃
Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
καὶ ἐξέστησαν οἱ ἐκ περιτομῆς πιστοὶ ὅσοι συνῆλθον τῷ Πέτρῳ ὅτι καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη ἡ δωρεὰ τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος ἐκκέχυται·
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
ἆρον τὸ σὸν καὶ ὕπαγε θέλω δὲ τούτῳ τῷ ἐσχάτῳ δοῦναι ὡς καὶ σοί·
Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
הֵן יַחְתֹּף מִי יְשִׁיבֶנּוּ מִֽי-יֹאמַר אֵלָיו מַֽה-תַּעֲשֶֽׂה׃
Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
εἰ δὲ ἐκ θεοῦ ἐστιν οὐ δύνασθε καταλῦσαι αὐτὸ μήποτε καὶ θεομάχοι εὑρεθῆτε
But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
ἐν δὲ τῷ ἄρξασθαί με λαλεῖν ἐπέπεσεν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ὥσπερ καὶ ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ἐν ἀρχῇ
And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
הֲרֹב עִם-שַׁדַּי יִסּוֹר מוֹכִיחַ אֱלוֹהַּ יַעֲנֶֽנָּה׃
Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
