G3588–ὁ–ho

"They did indeed assemble in this city in hostility to Thy holy Servant Jesus whom Thou hadst anointed--Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and also the tribes of Israel--

τῇ tēa “the”τὸν ton “the”

to do all that Thy power and Thy will had predetermined should be done.

ἡ hē “the”ἡ hē “the”

And now, Lord, listen to their threats, and enable Thy servants to proclaim Thy Message with fearless courage,

τὰ ta “<the>”τὰς tas “the”τοῖς tois “to the”τὸν ton “the”

whilst Thou stretchest out Thine arm to cure men, and to give signs and marvels through the name of Thy holy Servant Jesus."

τῷ tō “that”τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

When they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were, one and all, filled with the Holy Spirit, and proceeded to tell God's Message with boldness.

ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “with the”τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Among all those who had embraced the faith there was but one heart and soul, so that none of them claimed any of his possessions as his own, but everything they had was common property;

Τοῦ Tou “<the>”τῶν tōn “who”ἡ hē “<the>”ἡ hē “<the>”τῶν tōn “of the”

while the Apostles with great force of conviction delivered their testimony as to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace was upon them all.

τὸ to “<the>”οἱ hoi “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τοῦ tou “of the”

And, in fact, there was not a needy man among them, for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the money which they realised,

τὰς tas “the”τῶν tōn “of what”

and gave it to the Apostles, and distribution was made to every one according to his wants.

τοὺς tous “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

In this way Joseph, whom the Apostles gave the name of Bar-nabas--signifying `Son of Encouragement' --a Levite, a native of Cyprus,

ὁ ho “who”τῶν tōn “the”τῷ tō “at the”

sold a farm which he had, and brought the money and gave it to the Apostles.

τὸ to “the”τοὺς tous “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

There was a man of the name of Ananias who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property but,

τῇ tēa “the”

with her full knowledge and consent, dishonestly kept back part of the price which he received for it, though he brought the rest and gave it to the Apostles.

τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “the”τοὺς tous “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

"Ananias," said Peter, "why has Satan taken possession of your heart, that you should try to deceive the Holy Spirit and dishonestly keep back part of the price paid you for this land?

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”τὸ to “the”τὸ to “<the>”τῆς tēs “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

While it remained unsold, was not the land your own? And when sold, was it not at your own disposal? How is it that you have cherished this design in your heart? It is not to men you have told this lie, but to God."

τῇ tēa “the”τῇ tēa “the”τὸ to “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”

Upon hearing these words Ananias fell down dead, and all who heard the words were awe-struck.

ὁ ho “<the>”τοὺς tous “<the>”τοὺς tous “those”

The younger men, however, rose, and wrapping the body up, carried it out and buried it.

οἱ hoi “the”

About three hours had passed, when his wife came in, knowing nothing of what had happened.

ἡ hē “the”τὸ to “that”

Peter at once questioned her. "Tell me," he said, "whether you sold the land for so much." "Yes," she replied, "for so much."

ὁ ho “<the>”τὸ to “the”ἡ hē “<the>”

"How was it," replied Peter, "that you two agreed to try an experiment upon the Spirit of the Lord? The men who have buried your husband are already at the door, and they will carry you out."

ὁ ho “<the>”τὸ to “the”οἱ hoi “the”τῶν tōn “of those”τὸν ton “the”τῇ tēa “the”

Instantly she fell down dead at his feet, and the young men came in and found her dead. So they carried her out and buried her by her husband's side.

τοὺς tous “the”οἱ hoi “the”τὸν ton “the”

This incident struck terror into the whole Church, and into the hearts of all who heard of it.

τὴν tēn “the”τοὺς tous “those”

Many signs and marvels continued to be done among the people by the Apostles; and by common consent they all met in Solomon's Portico.

τῶν tōn “the”τῶν tōn “of the”τῷ tō “the”τῇ tēa “the”

But none of the others dared to attach themselves to them. Yet the people held them in high honour--

τῶν tōn “of the”ὁ ho “the”

and more and more believers in the Lord joined them, including great numbers both of men and women--

τῷ tō “in the”
