Acts 11
1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of YHWH.
Ἤκουσαν δὲ οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ οἱ ὄντες κατὰ τὴν Ἰουδαίαν ὅτι καὶ τὰ ἔθνη ἐδέξαντο τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ.
2 And when Kepha was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
⸂ὅτε δὲ ἀνέβη Πέτρος εἰς ⸀Ἰερουσαλήμ διεκρίνοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ ἐκ περιτομῆς
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
λέγοντες ὅτι ⸂Εἰσῆλθες πρὸς ἄνδρας ἀκροβυστίαν ἔχοντας καὶ συνέφαγες αὐτοῖς.
4 But Kepha rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
ἀρξάμενος ⸀δὲΠέτρος ἐξετίθετο αὐτοῖς καθεξῆς λέγων·
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
Ἐγὼ ἤμην ἐν πόλει Ἰόππῃ προσευχόμενος καὶ εἶδον ἐν ἐκστάσει ὅραμα, καταβαῖνον σκεῦός τι ὡς ὀθόνην μεγάλην τέσσαρσιν ἀρχαῖς καθιεμένην ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἦλθεν ἄχρι ἐμοῦ·
6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
εἰς ἣν ἀτενίσας κατενόουν καὶ εἶδον τὰ τετράποδα τῆς γῆς καὶ τὰ θηρία καὶ τὰ ἑρπετὰ καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ·
7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Kepha; slay and eat.
ἤκουσα δὲ ⸀καὶφωνῆς λεγούσης μοι· Ἀναστάς, Πέτρε, θῦσον καὶ φάγε.
8 But I said, Not so, Master: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
εἶπον δέ· Μηδαμῶς, κύριε, ⸀ὅτικοινὸν ἢ ἀκάθαρτον οὐδέποτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου.
9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What YHWH hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
ἀπεκρίθη δὲ ⸂φωνὴ ἐκ δευτέρου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· Ἃ ὁ θεὸς ἐκαθάρισεν σὺ μὴ κοίνου.
10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
τοῦτο δὲ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τρίς, καὶ ⸂ἀνεσπάσθη πάλιν ἅπαντα εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξαυτῆς τρεῖς ἄνδρες ἐπέστησαν ἐπὶ τὴν οἰκίαν ἐν ᾗ ⸀ἦμεν ἀπεσταλμένοι ἀπὸ Καισαρείας πρός με.
12 And the spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
εἶπεν δὲ ⸂τὸ πνεῦμά μοι συνελθεῖν αὐτοῖς μηδὲν ⸀διακρίναντα ἦλθον δὲ σὺν ἐμοὶ καὶ οἱ ἓξ ἀδελφοὶ οὗτοι, καὶ εἰσήλθομεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀνδρός.
13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Kepha;
ἀπήγγειλεν ⸀δὲἡμῖν πῶς εἶδεν τὸν ἄγγελον ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ σταθέντα καὶ ⸀εἰπόντα Ἀπόστειλον εἰς ⸀Ἰόππηνκαὶ μετάπεμψαι Σίμωνα τὸν ἐπικαλούμενον Πέτρον,
14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
ὃς λαλήσει ῥήματα πρὸς σὲ ἐν οἷς σωθήσῃ σὺ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκός σου.
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
ἐν δὲ τῷ ἄρξασθαί με λαλεῖν ἐπέπεσεν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ὥσπερ καὶ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς ἐν ἀρχῇ.
16 Then remembered I the word of Yahushua, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
ἐμνήσθην δὲ τοῦῥήματος ⸀τοῦ κυρίου ὡς ἔλεγεν· Ἰωάννης μὲν ἐβάπτισεν ὕδατι, ὑμεῖς δὲ βαπτισθήσεσθε ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ.
17 Forasmuch then as YHWH gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Master Yahushua the Messiah; what was I, that I could withstand YHWH?
εἰ οὖν τὴν ἴσην δωρεὰν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς ὡς καὶ ἡμῖν πιστεύσασιν ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, ⸀ἐγὼτίς ἤμην δυνατὸς κωλῦσαι τὸν θεόν;
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified YHWH, saying, Then hath YHWH also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
ἀκούσαντες δὲ ταῦτα ἡσύχασαν καὶ ⸀ἐδόξασαντὸν θεὸν λέγοντες· ⸀Ἄρακαὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ὁ θεὸς τὴν μετάνοιαν ⸂εἰς ζωὴν ἔδωκεν.
19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
Οἱ μὲν οὖν διασπαρέντες ἀπὸ τῆς θλίψεως τῆς γενομένης ἐπὶ Στεφάνῳ διῆλθον ἕως Φοινίκης καὶ Κύπρου καὶ Ἀντιοχείας μηδενὶ λαλοῦντες τὸν λόγον εἰ μὴ μόνον Ἰουδαίοις.
20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, and preached concerning the Master Yahushua.
ἦσαν δέ τινες ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες Κύπριοι καὶ Κυρηναῖοι, οἵτινες ⸀ἐλθόντεςεἰς Ἀντιόχειαν ἐλάλουν ⸀καὶπρὸς τοὺς ⸀Ἑλληνιστάς εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν.
21 And the hand of YHWH was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto YHWH.
καὶ ἦν χεὶρ κυρίου μετʼ αὐτῶν, πολύς τε ἀριθμὸς ⸀ὁπιστεύσας ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον.
22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
ἠκούσθη δὲ ὁ λόγος εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῆς ἐκκλησίας τῆς ⸀οὔσηςἐν ⸀Ἰερουσαλὴμπερὶ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν ⸀Βαρναβᾶνἕως Ἀντιοχείας·
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the favour of YHWH, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto YHWH.
ὃς παραγενόμενος καὶ ἰδὼν τὴνχάριν ⸀τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ, ἐχάρη καὶ παρεκάλει πάντας τῇ προθέσει τῆς καρδίας ⸀προσμένειντῷ κυρίῳ,
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and much people was added unto YHWH.
ὅτι ἦν ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς καὶ πλήρης πνεύματος ἁγίου καὶ πίστεως. καὶ προσετέθη ὄχλος ἱκανὸς τῷ κυρίῳ.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
ἐξῆλθεν δὲ εἰς ⸀Ταρσὸνἀναζητῆσαι Σαῦλον,
26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the assembly, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Messianics first in Antioch.
καὶ εὑρὼν ⸀ἤγαγενεἰς Ἀντιόχειαν. ἐγένετο δὲ ⸂αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐναυτὸν ὅλον συναχθῆναι ⸀ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ καὶ διδάξαι ὄχλον ἱκανόν, χρηματίσαι τε ⸀πρώτωςἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ τοὺς μαθητὰς Χριστιανούς.
27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
Ἐν ταύταις δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις κατῆλθον ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων προφῆται εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν·
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
ἀναστὰς δὲ εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν ὀνόματι Ἅγαβος ἐσήμανεν διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος λιμὸν ⸀μεγάληνμέλλειν ἔσεσθαι ἐφʼ ὅλην τὴν οἰκουμένην· ⸀ἥτιςἐγένετο ἐπὶ ⸀Κλαυδίου
29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
τῶν δὲ μαθητῶν καθὼς εὐπορεῖτό τις ὥρισαν ἕκαστος αὐτῶν εἰς διακονίαν πέμψαι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ἀδελφοῖς·
30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
ὃ καὶ ἐποίησαν ἀποστείλαντες πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους διὰ χειρὸς Βαρναβᾶ καὶ Σαύλου.
