Acts 11
1 The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
ηκουσαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι αδελφοι οι οντες κατα την ιουδαιαν οτι και τα εθνη εδεξαντο τον λογον του θεου
2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him
και οτε ανεβη πετρος εις ιεροσολυμα διεκρινοντο προς αυτον οι εκ περιτομης
3 and said, “You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them.”
λεγοντες οτι εισηλθες προς ανδρας ακροβυστιαν εχοντας και συνεφαγες αυτοις
4 But Peter began and explained to them the whole sequence of events:
αρξαμενος δε ο πετρος εξετιθετο αυτοις καθεξης λεγων
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me.
εγω ημην εν πολει ιοππη προσευχομενος και ειδον εν εκστασει οραμα καταβαινον σκευος τι ως οθονην μεγαλην τεσσαρσιν αρχαις καθιεμενην εκ του ουρανου και ηλθεν αχρις εμου
6 I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.
εις ην ατενισας κατενοουν και ειδον τα τετραποδα της γης και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου
7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’
ηκουσα δε φωνης λεγουσης μοι αναστας πετρε θυσον και φαγε
8 ‘No, Lord,’ I said, ‘for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
ειπον δε μηδαμως κυριε οτι παν κοινον η ακαθαρτον ουδεποτε εισηλθεν εις το στομα μου
9 But the voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’
απεκριθη δε μοι εκ δευτερου φωνη εκ του ουρανου α ο θεος εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου
10 This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.
τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρις και παλιν ανεσπασθη απαντα εις τον ουρανον
11 Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.
και ιδου εξαυτης τρεις ανδρες επεστησαν επι την οικιαν εν η ημην απεσταλμενοι απο καισαρειας προς με
12 The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s home.
ειπεν δε μοι το πνευμα συνελθειν αυτοις μηδεν διακρινομενον ηλθον δε συν εμοι και οι εξ αδελφοι ουτοι και εισηλθομεν εις τον οικον του ανδρος
13 He told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.
απηγγειλεν δε ημιν πως ειδεν τον αγγελον εν τω οικω αυτου σταθεντα και ειποντα αυτω αποστειλον εις ιοππην και μεταπεμψαι σιμωνα τον επικαλουμενον πετρον
14 He will convey to you a message by which you and all your household will be saved.’
ος λαλησει ρηματα προς σε εν οις σωθηση συ και πας ο οικος σου
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He had fallen upon us at the beginning.
εν δε τω αρξασθαι με λαλειν επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επ αυτους ωσπερ και εφ ημας εν αρχη
16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as He used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
εμνησθην δε του ρηματος του κυριου ως ελεγεν οτι ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεις δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν πνευματι αγιω
17 So if God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder the work of God?”
ει ουν την ισην δωρεαν εδωκεν αυτοις ο θεος ως και ημιν πιστευσασιν επι τον κυριον ιησουν εγω τις ημην δυνατος κωλυσαι τον θεον
18 When they heard this, their objections were put to rest, and they glorified God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”
ακουσαντες δε ταυτα ησυχασαν και εδοξαζον τον θεον λεγοντες αραγε και τοις εθνεσιν ο θεος την μετανοιαν εδωκεν εις ζωην
19 Meanwhile those scattered by the persecution that began with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the message only to Jews.
οι μεν ουν διασπαρεντες απο της θλιψεως της γενομενης επι στεφανω διηλθον εως φοινικης και κυπρου και αντιοχειας μηδενι λαλουντες τον λογον ει μη μονον ιουδαιοις
20 But some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.
ησαν δε τινες εξ αυτων ανδρες κυπριοι και κυρηναιοι οιτινες εισελθοντες εις αντιοχειαν ελαλουν προς τους ελληνιστας ευαγγελιζομενοι τον κυριον ιησουν
21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
και ην χειρ κυριου μετ αυτων πολυς τε αριθμος πιστευσας επεστρεψεν επι τον κυριον
22 When news of this reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
ηκουσθη δε ο λογος εις τα ωτα της εκκλησιας της εν ιεροσολυμοις περι αυτων και εξαπεστειλαν βαρναβαν διελθειν εως αντιοχειας
23 When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to abide in the Lord with all their hearts.
ος παραγενομενος και ιδων την χαριν του θεου εχαρη και παρεκαλει παντας τη προθεσει της καρδιας προσμενειν τω κυριω
24 Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
οτι ην ανηρ αγαθος και πληρης πνευματος αγιου και πιστεως και προσετεθη οχλος ικανος τω κυριω
25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
εξηλθεν δε εις ταρσον ο βαρναβας αναζητησαι σαυλον
26 and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.
και ευρων ηγαγεν εις αντιοχειαν εγενετο δε αυτους ενιαυτον ολον συναχθηναι τη εκκλησια και διδαξαι οχλον ικανον χρηματισαι τε πρωτον εν αντιοχεια τους μαθητας χριστιανους
27 In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
εν ταυταις δε ταις ημεραις κατηλθον απο ιεροσολυμων προφηται εις αντιοχειαν
28 One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted through the Spirit that a great famine would sweep across the whole world. (This happened under Claudius.)
αναστας δε εις εξ αυτων ονοματι αγαβος εσημανεν δια του πνευματος λιμον μεγαν μελλειν εσεσθαι εφ ολην την οικουμενην οστις και εγενετο επι κλαυδιου καισαρος
29 So the disciples, each according to his ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.
των δε μαθητων καθως ευπορειτο τις ωρισαν εκαστος αυτων εις διακονιαν πεμψαι τοις κατοικουσιν εν τη ιουδαια αδελφοις
30 This they did, sending their gifts to the elders with Barnabas and Saul.
ο και εποιησαν αποστειλαντες προς τους πρεσβυτερους δια χειρος βαρναβα και σαυλου
