Acts 12
1 Now at the same time, king Herod extended his hand, in order to afflict some from the Church.
κατ εκεινον δε τον καιρον επεβαλεν ηρωδησ ο βασιλευσ τασ χειρασ κακωσαι τινασ των απο τησ εκκλησιασ
2 Then he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
ανειλεν δε ιακωβον τον αδελφον ιωαννου μαχαιρα
3 And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he set out next to apprehend Peter also. Now it was the days of Unleavened Bread.
και ιδων οτι αρεστον εστιν τοισ ιουδαιοισ προσεθετο συλλαβειν και πετρον ησαν δε αι ημεραι των αζυμων
4 So when he had apprehended him, he sent him into prison, handing him over into the custody of four groups of four soldiers, intending to produce him to the people after the Passover.
ον και πιασασ εθετο εισ φυλακην παραδουσ τεσσαρσιν τετραδιοισ στρατιωτων φυλασσειν αυτον βουλομενοσ μετα το πασχα αναγαγειν αυτον τω λαω
5 And so Peter was detained in prison. But prayers were being made without ceasing, by the Church, to God on his behalf.
ο μεν ουν πετροσ ετηρειτο εν τη φυλακη προσευχη δε ην εκτενησ γινομενη υπο τησ εκκλησιασ προσ τον θεον υπερ αυτου
6 And when Herod was ready to produce him, in that same night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, and was bound with two chains. And there were guards in front of the door, guarding the prison.
οτε δε εμελλεν αυτον προαγειν ο ηρωδησ τη νυκτι εκεινη ην ο πετροσ κοιμωμενοσ μεταξυ δυο στρατιωτων δεδεμενοσ αλυσεσιν δυσιν φυλακεσ τε προ τησ θυρασ ετηρουν την φυλακην
7 And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near, and a light shined forth in the cell. And tapping Peter on the side, he awakened him, saying, “Rise up, quickly.” And the chains fell from his hands.
και ιδου αγγελοσ κυριου επεστη και φωσ ελαμψεν εν τω οικηματι παταξασ δε την πλευραν του πετρου ηγειρεν αυτον λεγων αναστα εν ταχει και εξεπεσον αυτου αι αλυσεισ εκ των χειρων
8 Then the Angel said to him: “Dress yourself, and put on your boots.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your garment around yourself and follow me.”
ειπεν τε ο αγγελοσ προσ αυτον περιζωσαι και υποδησαι τα σανδαλια σου εποιησεν δε ουτωσ και λεγει αυτω περιβαλου το ιματιον σου και ακολουθει μοι
9 And going out, he followed him. And he did not know this truth: that this was being done by an Angel. For he thought that he was seeing a vision.
και εξελθων ηκολουθει αυτω και ουκ ηδει οτι αληθεσ εστιν το γινομενον δια του αγγελου εδοκει δε οραμα βλεπειν
10 And passing by the first and second guards, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city; and it opened for them by itself. And departing, they continued on along a certain side street. And suddenly the Angel withdrew from him.
διελθοντεσ δε πρωτην φυλακην και δευτεραν ηλθον επι την πυλην την σιδηραν την φερουσαν εισ την πολιν ητισ αυτοματη ηνοιχθη αυτοισ και εξελθοντεσ προηλθον ρυμην μιαν και ευθεωσ απεστη ο αγγελοσ απ αυτου
11 And Peter, returning to himself, said: “Now I know, truly, that the Lord sent his Angel, and that he rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the people of the Jews were anticipating.”
και ο πετροσ γενομενοσ εν εαυτω ειπεν νυν οιδα αληθωσ οτι εξαπεστειλεν κυριοσ τον αγγελον αυτου και εξειλετο με εκ χειροσ ηρωδου και πασησ τησ προσδοκιασ του λαου των ιουδαιων
12 And as he was considering this, he arrived at the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered and were praying.
συνιδων τε ηλθεν επι την οικιαν μαριασ τησ μητροσ ιωαννου του επικαλουμενου μαρκου ου ησαν ικανοι συνηθροισμενοι και προσευχομενοι
13 Then, as he knocked at the door of the gate, a girl went out to answer, whose name was Rhoda.
κρουσαντοσ δε του πετρου την θυραν του πυλωνοσ προσηλθεν παιδισκη υπακουσαι ονοματι ροδη
14 And when she recognized the voice of Peter, out of joy, she did not open the gate, but instead, running in, she reported that Peter stood before the gate.
και επιγνουσα την φωνην του πετρου απο τησ χαρασ ουκ ηνοιξεν τον πυλωνα εισδραμουσα δε απηγγειλεν εσταναι τον πετρον προ του πυλωνοσ
15 But they said to her, “You are crazy.” But she reaffirmed that this was so. Then they were saying, “It is his angel.”
οι δε προσ αυτην ειπον μαινη η δε διισχυριζετο ουτωσ εχειν οι δε ελεγον ο αγγελοσ αυτου εστιν
16 But Peter was persevering in knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him and were astonished.
ο δε πετροσ επεμενεν κρουων ανοιξαντεσ δε ειδον αυτον και εξεστησαν
17 But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he explained how the Lord had led him away from prison. And he said, “Inform James and those brothers.” And going out, he went away to another place.
κατασεισασ δε αυτοισ τη χειρι σιγαν διηγησατο αυτοισ πωσ ο κυριοσ αυτον εξηγαγεν εκ τησ φυλακησ ειπεν δε απαγγειλατε ιακωβω και τοισ αδελφοισ ταυτα και εξελθων επορευθη εισ ετερον τοπον
18 Then, when daylight came, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what had happened concerning Peter.
γενομενησ δε ημερασ ην ταραχοσ ουκ ολιγοσ εν τοισ στρατιωταισ τι αρα ο πετροσ εγενετο
19 And when Herod had requested him and did not obtain him, having had the guards interrogated, he ordered them led away. And descending from Judea into Caesarea, he lodged there.
ηρωδησ δε επιζητησασ αυτον και μη ευρων ανακρινασ τουσ φυλακασ εκελευσεν απαχθηναι και κατελθων απο τησ ιουδαιασ εισ την καισαρειαν διετριβεν
20 Now he was angry with those of Tyre and Sidon. But they came to him with one accord, and, having persuaded Blastus, who was over the bedchamber of the king, they petitioned for peace, because their regions were supplied with food by him.
ην δε ο ηρωδησ θυμομαχων τυριοισ και σιδωνιοισ ομοθυμαδον δε παρησαν προσ αυτον και πεισαντεσ βλαστον τον επι του κοιτωνοσ του βασιλεωσ ητουντο ειρηνην δια το τρεφεσθαι αυτων την χωραν απο τησ βασιλικησ
21 Then, on the appointed day, Herod was clothed in kingly apparel, and he sat in the judgment seat, and he gave a speech to them.
τακτη δε ημερα ο ηρωδησ ενδυσαμενοσ εσθητα βασιλικην και καθισασ επι του βηματοσ εδημηγορει προσ αυτουσ
22 Then the people were crying out, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
ο δε δημοσ επεφωνει φωνη θεου και ουκ ανθρωπου
23 And immediately, an Angel of the Lord struck him down, because he had not given honor to God. And having been consumed by worms, he expired.
παραχρημα δε επαταξεν αυτον αγγελοσ κυριου ανθ ων ουκ εδωκεν δοξαν τω θεω και γενομενοσ σκωληκοβρωτοσ εξεψυξεν
24 But the word of the Lord was increasing and multiplying.
ο δε λογοσ του θεου ηυξανεν και επληθυνετο
25 Then Barnabas and Saul, having completed the ministry, returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
βαρναβασ δε και σαυλοσ υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ πληρωσαντεσ την διακονιαν συμπαραλαβοντεσ και ιωαννην τον επικληθεντα μαρκον
