Lesson 38a — Acts 2:40-44



Do Your Three-Pass Effort at Translating the Verses

Acts 2:40

Acts 2:41

Acts 2:42

Acts 2:43

Acts 2:44

Pass #2:  Use your reader's edition to fill in the words that are used 30 times, or less, in the NT.

At this point, see if you can manage any sort of translation of these verses, even if it is only fragmentary.

42 ἦσαν δὲ προσκαρτεροῦντες τῇ διδαχῇ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ τῇ κοινωνίᾳ, τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς.

43 Ἐγίνετο δὲ πάσῃ ψυχῇ φόβος, πολλά τε τέρατα καὶ σημεῖα διὰ τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο.

44 πάντες δὲ οἱ πιστεύοντες ἦσαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ εἶχον ἅπαντα κοινά,
