It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

Τὸν μὲν πρῶτον λόγον ἐποιησάμην περὶ πάντων ὦ Θεόφιλε ὧν ἤρξατο ὁ Ἰησοῦς ποιεῖν τε καὶ διδάσκειν
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
ὁ δὲ Οὐ μαίνομαι φησίν κράτιστε Φῆστε ἀλλ' ἀληθείας καὶ σωφροσύνης ῥήματα ἀποφθέγγομαι
But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
ἀρξάμενος δὲ ὁ Πέτρος ἐξετίθετο αὐτοῖς καθεξῆς λέγων
But Peter rehearsed from the beginning, the matter and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
πάντῃ τε καὶ πανταχοῦ ἀποδεχόμεθα κράτιστε Φῆλιξ μετὰ πάσης εὐχαριστίας
We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
וְיֹתֵר שֶׁהָיָה קֹהֶלֶת חָכָם עוֹד לִמַּד-דַּעַת אֶת-הָעָם וְאִזֵּן וְחִקֵּר תִּקֵּן מְשָׁלִים הַרְבֵּֽה׃
And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
Κλαύδιος Λυσίας τῷ κρατίστῳ ἡγεμόνι Φήλικι χαίρειν
Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
διὸ ἐγὼ κρίνω μὴ παρενοχλεῖν τοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐπιστρέφουσιν ἐπὶ τὸν θεόν
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
μακαριωτέρα δέ ἐστιν ἐὰν οὕτως μείνῃ κατὰ τὴν ἐμὴν γνώμην· δοκῶ δὲ κἀγὼ πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἔχειν
But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
אֵלֶּה עָשִׂיתָ׀ וְֽהֶחֱרַשְׁתִּי דִּמִּיתָ הֱֽיוֹת-אֶֽהְיֶה כָמוֹךָ אוֹכִיחֲךָ וְאֶֽעֶרְכָה לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃
These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
Περὶ δὲ Ἀπολλῶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ πολλὰ παρεκάλεσα αὐτὸν ἵνα ἔλθῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν· καὶ πάντως οὐκ ἦν θέλημα ἵνα νῦν ἔλθῃ· ἐλεύσεται δὲ ὅταν εὐκαιρήσῃ
As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
Ἐπειδήπερ πολλοὶ ἐπεχείρησαν ἀνατάξασθαι διήγησιν περὶ τῶν πεπληροφορημένων ἐν ἡμῖν πραγμάτων
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
ἔδοξεν γὰρ τῷ ἁγίῳ πνεύματι καὶ ἡμῖν μηδὲν πλέον ἐπιτίθεσθαι ὑμῖν βάρος πλὴν τῶν ἐπάναγκες τούτων
For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
ἔδοξεν ἡμῖν γενομένοις ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐκλεξαμένους ἄνδρας πέμψαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς σὺν τοῖς ἀγαπητοῖς ἡμῶν Βαρναβᾷ καὶ Παύλῳ
It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
רַבּוֹת עָשִׂיתָ׀ אַתָּה׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי נִֽפְלְאֹתֶיךָ וּמַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ אֵלֵינוּ אֵין׀ עֲרֹךְ אֵלֶיךָ אַגִּידָה וַאֲדַבֵּרָה עָצְמוּ מִסַּפֵּֽר׃
Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
