Acts 9
1 But Saul, still burning with desire to put to death the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Ὁ δὲ Σαῦλος ἔτι ἐμπνέων ἀπειλῆς καὶ φόνου εἰς τοὺς μαθητὰς τοῦ κυρίου, προσελθὼν τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ,
2 And made a request for letters from him to the Synagogues of Damascus, so that if there were any of the Way there, men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
ᾐτήσατο παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐπιστολὰς εἰς Δαμασκὸν πρὸς τὰς συναγωγάς, ὅπως ἐάν τινας εὕρῃ τῆς ὁδοῦ ὄντας ἄνδρας τε καὶ γυναῖκας, δεδεμένους ἀγάγῃ εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.
3 And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;
ἐν δὲ τῷ πορεύεσθαι ἐγένετο αὐτὸν ἐγγίζειν τῇ Δαμασκῷ, ἐξαίφνης (τε *N(k)O*) αὐτὸν περιήστραψεν φῶς (ἐκ *N(k)O*) τοῦ οὐρανοῦ·
4 And he went down on the earth, and a voice said to him, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?
καὶ πεσὼν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἤκουσεν φωνὴν λέγουσαν αὐτῷ· Σαοὺλ Σαούλ, τί με διώκεις;
5 And he said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking:
εἶπεν δέ· τίς εἶ, κύριε; ὁ δέ (κύριος εἶπεν· *k*) ἐγώ εἰμι Ἰησοῦς ὃν σὺ διώκεις (σκληρόν σοι πρὸς κέντρα λακτίζειν· *K*)
6 But get up, and go into the town, and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.
(τρέμων τε καὶ θαμβῶν εἶπεν κύριε τί μέ θέλεις ποιῆσαι καὶ ὅ κύριος πρός αὐτόν *K*) (ἀλλ᾽ *NO*) ἀνάστηθι καὶ εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ λαληθήσεταί σοι (ὅ *N(o)*) (τί *NK(o)*) σε δεῖ ποιεῖν.
7 And the men who were with him were not able to say anything; hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
οἱ δὲ ἄνδρες οἱ συνοδεύοντες αὐτῷ εἱστήκεισαν ἐνεοί, ἀκούοντες μὲν τῆς φωνῆς, μηδένα δὲ θεωροῦντες.
8 And Saul got up from the earth, and when his eyes were open, he saw nothing; and he was guided by the hand into Damascus.
ἠγέρθη δὲ (ὁ *k*) Σαῦλος ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἀνεῳγμένων (δὲ *NK(o)*) τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ (οὐδὲν *N(k)O*) ἔβλεπεν· χειραγωγοῦντες δὲ αὐτὸν εἰσήγαγον εἰς Δαμασκόν.
9 And for three days he was not able to see, and he took no food or drink.
καὶ ἦν ἡμέρας τρεῖς μὴ βλέπων καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν οὐδὲ ἔπιεν.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias! and he said, Here I am, Lord.
Ἦν δέ τις μαθητὴς ἐν Δαμασκῷ ὀνόματι Ἁνανίας, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν ὁράματι ὁ κύριος· Ἁνανία. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, κύριε.
11 And the Lord said to him, Get up, and go to the street which is named Straight, and make search at the house of Judas for one named Saul of Tarsus: for he is at prayer;
ὁ δὲ κύριος πρὸς αὐτόν· (ἀναστὰς *NK(o)*) πορεύθητι ἐπὶ τὴν ῥύμην τὴν καλουμένην εὐθεῖαν καὶ ζήτησον ἐν οἰκίᾳ Ἰούδα Σαῦλον ὀνόματι Ταρσέα· ἰδοὺ γὰρ προσεύχεται
12 And he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands on him, so that he may be able to see.
καὶ εἶδεν ἄνδρα ἐν ὁράματι Ἁνανίαν ὀνόματι εἰσελθόντα καὶ ἐπιθέντα αὐτῷ (τὰς *no*) (χεῖρας, *N(K)O*) ὅπως ἀναβλέψῃ.
13 But Ananias said, Lord, I have had accounts of this man from a number of people, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem:
Ἀπεκρίθη δὲ (ὁ *k*) Ἁνανίας· κύριε, (ἤκουσα *N(k)O*) ἀπὸ πολλῶν περὶ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς τούτου, ὅσα κακὰ τοῖς ἁγίοις σου ἐποίησεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ·
14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to make prisoners all who give worship to your name.
καὶ ὧδε ἔχει ἐξουσίαν παρὰ τῶν ἀρχιερέων δῆσαι πάντας τοὺς ἐπικαλουμένους τὸ ὄνομά σου.
15 But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:
Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος· πορεύου, ὅτι σκεῦος ἐκλογῆς ἐστίν μοι οὗτος τοῦ βαστάσαι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐνώπιον (τῶν *o*) ἐθνῶν (τε *no*) καὶ βασιλέων υἱῶν τε Ἰσραήλ.
16 For I will make clear to him what troubles he will have to undergo for me.
ἐγὼ γὰρ ὑποδείξω αὐτῷ ὅσα δεῖ αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ τοῦ ὀνόματός μου παθεῖν.
17 And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.
Ἀπῆλθεν δὲ Ἁνανίας καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, καὶ ἐπιθεὶς ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας εἶπεν· Σαοὺλ ἀδελφέ, ὁ κύριος ἀπέσταλκέν με, Ἰησοῦς ὁ ὀφθείς σοι ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἤρχου, ὅπως ἀναβλέψῃς καὶ πλησθῇς πνεύματος ἁγίου.
18 And straight away it seemed as if a veil was taken from his eyes, and he was able to see; and he got up, and had baptism;
καὶ εὐθέως ἀπέπεσαν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν (ὡς *N(k)O*) λεπίδες, ἀνέβλεψέν τε (παραχρῆμα *K*) καὶ ἀναστὰς ἐβαπτίσθη,
19 And when he had taken food his strength came back. And for some days he kept with the disciples who were in Damascus.
καὶ λαβὼν τροφὴν (ἐνίσχυσεν. *NK(o)*) Ἐγένετο δὲ (ὁ Σαῦλος *k*) μετὰ τῶν ἐν Δαμασκῷ μαθητῶν ἡμέρας τινάς·
20 And straight away, in the Synagogues, he was preaching Jesus as the Son of God.
καὶ εὐθέως ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς ἐκήρυσσεν τὸν (Ἰησοῦν, *N(K)O*) ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ.
21 And all those hearing him were full of wonder and said, Is not this the man who in Jerusalem was attacking all the worshippers of this name? and he had come here so that he might take them as prisoners before the chief priests.
ἐξίσταντο δὲ πάντες οἱ ἀκούοντες καὶ ἔλεγον· οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ πορθήσας (εἰς *N(k)O*) Ἰερουσαλὴμ τοὺς ἐπικαλουμένους τὸ ὄνομα τοῦτο; καὶ ὧδε εἰς τοῦτο ἐληλύθει ἵνα δεδεμένους αὐτοὺς ἀγάγῃ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς.
22 But Saul went on increasing in power, and the Jews in Damascus were not able to give answers to the arguments by which he made it clear that Jesus was the Christ.
Σαῦλος δὲ μᾶλλον ἐνεδυναμοῦτο καὶ συνέχυννεν τοὺς Ἰουδαίους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Δαμασκῷ, συμβιβάζων ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ χριστός.
23 Then, after some days, the Jews made an agreement together to put him to death:
ὡς δὲ ἐπληροῦντο ἡμέραι ἱκαναί, συνεβουλεύσαντο οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀνελεῖν αὐτόν·
24 But Saul got knowledge of their design. And they kept watch day and night on the roads out of the town, so that they might put him to death:
ἐγνώσθη δὲ τῷ Σαύλῳ ἡ ἐπιβουλὴ αὐτῶν. (παρετηροῦντο δὲ *N(k)O*) (καὶ *no*) τὰς πύλας ἡμέρας τε καὶ νυκτός, ὅπως αὐτὸν ἀνέλωσιν·
25 But his disciples took him by night and let him down from the wall in a basket.
λαβόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ (αὐτοῦ *NO*) νυκτὸς διὰ τοῦ τείχους καθῆκαν αὐτὸν χαλάσαντες ἐν σπυρίδι.
26 And when he came to Jerusalem, he made an attempt to be joined to the disciples, but they were all in fear of him, not taking him for a disciple.
Παραγενόμενος δὲ (ὁ Σαῦλος *k*) (εἰς *NK(o)*) Ἰερουσαλὴμ (ἐπείραζεν *N(k)O*) κολλᾶσθαι τοῖς μαθηταῖς· καὶ πάντες ἐφοβοῦντο αὐτὸν μὴ πιστεύοντες ὅτι ἐστὶν μαθητής.
27 But Barnabas took him to the Apostles and gave them an account of how he had seen the Lord on the road, and had given hearing to his words, and how at Damascus he had been preaching in the name of Jesus without fear.
Βαρναβᾶς δὲ ἐπιλαβόμενος αὐτὸν ἤγαγεν πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους καὶ διηγήσατο αὐτοῖς πῶς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ εἶδεν τὸν κύριον καὶ ὅτι ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ καὶ πῶς ἐν Δαμασκῷ ἐπαρρησιάσατο ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.
28 And he was with them, going in and out at Jerusalem,
καὶ ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν εἰσπορευόμενος καὶ ἐκπορευόμενος (εἰς *N(k)O*) Ἰερουσαλήμ,
29 Preaching in the name of the Lord without fear; and he had discussions with the Greek Jews; but they were working for his death.
(καὶ *k*) παρρησιαζόμενος ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου (Ἰησοῦ, *K*) ἐλάλει τε καὶ συνεζήτει πρὸς τοὺς Ἑλληνιστάς· οἱ δὲ ἐπεχείρουν ἀνελεῖν αὐτόν.
30 And when the brothers had knowledge of it, they took him to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.
ἐπιγνόντες δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ κατήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς Καισάρειαν καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν αὐτὸν εἰς Ταρσόν.
31 And so the church through all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was made strong; and, living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was increased greatly.
(Ἡ *N(k)O*) μὲν οὖν (ἐκκλησία *N(K)O*) καθ᾽ ὅλης τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ Γαλιλαίας καὶ Σαμαρείας (εἶχεν *N(k)O*) εἰρήνην, (οἰκοδομουμένη *N(k)O*) καὶ (πορευομένη *N(k)O*) τῷ φόβῳ τοῦ κυρίου, καὶ τῇ παρακλήσει τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος (ἐπληθύνετο. *N(k)O*)
32 And it came about that while Peter was going through all parts of the country he came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
Ἐγένετο δὲ Πέτρον διερχόμενον διὰ πάντων κατελθεῖν καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἁγίους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Λύδδα.
33 And there was a certain man there, named Aeneas, who for eight years had been in bed, without power of moving.
εὗρεν δὲ ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπόν τινα ὀνόματι Αἰνέαν ἐξ ἐτῶν ὀκτὼ κατακείμενον ἐπὶ (κραβάττου *N(k)O*) ὃς ἦν παραλελυμένος.
34 And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you well: get up and make your bed. And straight away he got up.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος· Αἰνέα, ἰᾶταί σε Ἰησοῦς (ὁ *k*) Χριστός· ἀνάστηθι καὶ στρῶσον σεαυτῷ. καὶ εὐθέως ἀνέστη·
35 And all those living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and were turned to the Lord.
καὶ εἶδαν αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες Λύδδα καὶ τὸν (Σαρῶνα, *NK(o)*) οἵτινες ἐπέστρεψαν ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, that is, Dorcas: this woman was given to good works and acts of mercy at all times.
Ἐν Ἰόππῃ δέ τις ἦν μαθήτρια ὀνόματι Ταβιθά, ἣ διερμηνευομένη λέγεται Δορκάς· αὕτη ἦν πλήρης ἔργων ἀγαθῶν καὶ ἐλεημοσυνῶν ὧν ἐποίει·
37 And it came about, in those days, that she got ill and came to her death: and when she had been washed, they put her in a room which was high up.
ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἀσθενήσασαν αὐτὴν ἀποθανεῖν· λούσαντες δὲ ἔθηκαν αὐτὴν ἐν ὑπερῴῳ.
38 And because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having knowledge that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to come to them straight away.
ἐγγὺς δὲ οὔσης Λύδδας τῇ Ἰόππῃ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἀκούσαντες ὅτι Πέτρος ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτῇ, ἀπέστειλαν δύο ἄνδρας πρὸς αὐτὸν παρακαλοῦντες· μὴ (ὀκνήσῃς *N(k)O*) διελθεῖν ἕως (ἡμῶν. *N(K)O*)
39 And Peter went with them. And when he had come, they took him into the room: and all the widows were there, weeping and putting before him the coats and clothing which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
ἀναστὰς δὲ Πέτρος συνῆλθεν αὐτοῖς· ὃν παραγενόμενον ἀνήγαγον εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον, καὶ παρέστησαν αὐτῷ πᾶσαι αἱ χῆραι κλαίουσαι καὶ ἐπιδεικνύμεναι χιτῶνας καὶ ἱμάτια ὅσα ἐποίει μετ᾽ αὐτῶν οὖσα ἡ Δορκάς.
40 But Peter made them all go outside, and went down on his knees in prayer; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, get up. And, opening her eyes, she saw Peter and got up.
ἐκβαλὼν δὲ ἔξω πάντας ὁ Πέτρος καὶ θεὶς τὰ γόνατα προσηύξατο· καὶ ἐπιστρέψας πρὸς τὸ σῶμα εἶπεν· Ταβιθά, ἀνάστηθι. ἡ δὲ ἤνοιξεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῆς καὶ ἰδοῦσα τὸν Πέτρον ἀνεκάθισεν.
41 And he took her hand, lifting her up; and, sending for the saints and widows, he gave her to them, living.
δοὺς δὲ αὐτῇ χεῖρα ἀνέστησεν αὐτήν· φωνήσας δὲ τοὺς ἁγίους καὶ τὰς χήρας παρέστησεν αὐτὴν ζῶσαν.
42 And news of it went all through Joppa, and a number of people had faith in the Lord.
γνωστὸν δὲ ἐγένετο καθ᾽ ὅλης τῆς Ἰόππης, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν πολλοὶ ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον.
43 And he was living in Joppa for some time with Simon, a leather-worker.
ἐγένετο δὲ ἡμέρας ἱκανὰς μεῖναι (αὐτὸν *ko*) ἐν Ἰόππῃ παρά τινι Σίμωνι βυρσεῖ.
