Acts 10
1 There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
ανηρ δε τις εν καισαρεια ονοματι κορνηλιος εκατονταρχης εκ σπειρης της καλουμενης ιταλικης
2 [A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
ευσεβης και φοβουμενος τον θεον συν παντι τω οικω αυτου ποιων ελεημοσυνας πολλας τω λαω και δεομενος του θεου δια παντος
3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
ειδεν εν οραματι φανερως ωσει περι ωραν ενατην της ημερας αγγελον του θεου εισελθοντα προς αυτον και ειποντα αυτω κορνηλιε
4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
ο δε ατενισας αυτω και εμφοβος γενομενος ειπεν τι εστιν κυριε ειπεν δε αυτω αι προσευχαι σου και αι ελεημοσυναι σου ανεβησαν εις μνημοσυνον εμπροσθεν του θεου
5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon, whose surname is Peter:
και νυν πεμψον ανδρας εις ιοππην και μεταπεμψαι σιμωνα τινα ος επικαλειται πετρος
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
ουτος ξενιζεται παρα τινι σιμωνι βυρσει ω εστιν οικια παρα θαλασσαν
7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
ως δε απηλθεν ο αγγελος ο λαλων αυτω φωνησας δυο των οικετων και στρατιωτην ευσεβη των προσκαρτερουντων αυτω
8 And when he had declared all [these] things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
και εξηγησαμενος απαντα αυτοις απεστειλεν αυτους εις την ιοππην
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
τη δε επαυριον οδοιπορουντων εκεινων και τη πολει εγγιζοντων ανεβη πετρος επι το δωμα προσευξασθαι περι ωραν εκτην
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
εγενετο δε προσπεινος και ηθελεν γευσασθαι παρασκευαζοντων δε αυτων εγενετο επ αυτον εκστασις
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
και θεωρει τον ουρανον ανεωγμενον και καταβαινον σκευος τι ως οθονην μεγαλην τεσσαρσιν αρχαις καθιεμενον επι της γης
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
εν ω υπηρχεν παντα τα τετραποδα και ερπετα της γης και πετεινα του ουρανου
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
και εγενετο φωνη προς αυτον αναστας πετρε θυσον και φαγε
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
ο δε πετρος ειπεν μηδαμως κυριε οτι ουδεποτε εφαγον παν κοινον και ακαθαρτον
15 And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
και φωνη παλιν εκ δευτερου προς αυτον α ο θεος εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρις και ευθυς ανελημφθη το σκευος εις τον ουρανον
17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,
ως δε εν εαυτω διηπορει ο πετρος τι αν ειη το οραμα ο ειδεν ιδου οι ανδρες οι απεσταλμενοι υπο του κορνηλιου διερωτησαντες την οικιαν του σιμωνος επεστησαν επι τον πυλωνα
18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
και φωνησαντες {VAR1: επυθοντο } {VAR2: επυνθανοντο } ει σιμων ο επικαλουμενος πετρος ενθαδε ξενιζεται
19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
του δε πετρου διενθυμουμενου περι του οραματος ειπεν {VAR2: [αυτω] } το πνευμα ιδου ανδρες {VAR1: δυο } {VAR2: τρεις } ζητουντες σε
20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
αλλα αναστας καταβηθι και πορευου συν αυτοις μηδεν διακρινομενος οτι εγω απεσταλκα αυτους
21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause wherefore ye are come?
καταβας δε πετρος προς τους ανδρας ειπεν ιδου εγω ειμι ον ζητειτε τις η αιτια δι ην παρεστε
22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
οι δε ειπαν κορνηλιος εκατονταρχης ανηρ δικαιος και φοβουμενος τον θεον μαρτυρουμενος τε υπο ολου του εθνους των ιουδαιων εχρηματισθη υπο αγγελου αγιου μεταπεμψασθαι σε εις τον οικον αυτου και ακουσαι ρηματα παρα σου
23 Then called he them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
εισκαλεσαμενος ουν αυτους εξενισεν τη δε επαυριον αναστας εξηλθεν συν αυτοις και τινες των αδελφων των απο ιοππης συνηλθον αυτω
24 And the morrow after they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
τη δε επαυριον εισηλθεν εις την καισαρειαν ο δε κορνηλιος ην προσδοκων αυτους συγκαλεσαμενος τους συγγενεις αυτου και τους αναγκαιους φιλους
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped [him].
ως δε εγενετο του εισελθειν τον πετρον συναντησας αυτω ο κορνηλιος πεσων επι τους ποδας προσεκυνησεν
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
ο δε πετρος ηγειρεν αυτον λεγων αναστηθι και εγω αυτος ανθρωπος ειμι
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
και συνομιλων αυτω εισηλθεν και ευρισκει συνεληλυθοτας πολλους
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
εφη τε προς αυτους υμεις επιστασθε ως αθεμιτον εστιν ανδρι ιουδαιω κολλασθαι η προσερχεσθαι αλλοφυλω καμοι ο θεος εδειξεν μηδενα κοινον η ακαθαρτον λεγειν ανθρωπον
29 Therefore came I [unto you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
διο και αναντιρρητως ηλθον μεταπεμφθεις πυνθανομαι ουν τινι λογω μετεπεμψασθε με
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
και ο κορνηλιος εφη απο τεταρτης ημερας μεχρι ταυτης της ωρας ημην την ενατην προσευχομενος εν τω οικω μου και ιδου ανηρ εστη ενωπιον μου εν εσθητι λαμπρα
31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
και φησιν κορνηλιε εισηκουσθη σου η προσευχη και αι ελεημοσυναι σου εμνησθησαν ενωπιον του θεου
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of [one] Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
πεμψον ουν εις ιοππην και μετακαλεσαι σιμωνα ος επικαλειται πετρος ουτος ξενιζεται εν οικια σιμωνος βυρσεως παρα θαλασσαν
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
εξαυτης ουν επεμψα προς σε συ τε καλως εποιησας παραγενομενος νυν ουν παντες ημεις ενωπιον του θεου παρεσμεν ακουσαι παντα τα προστεταγμενα σοι υπο του κυριου
34 Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
ανοιξας δε πετρος το στομα ειπεν επ αληθειας καταλαμβανομαι οτι ουκ εστιν προσωπολημπτης ο θεος
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
αλλ εν παντι εθνει ο φοβουμενος αυτον και εργαζομενος δικαιοσυνην δεκτος αυτω εστιν
36 The word which [God] sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all: )
τον λογον {VAR2: [ον] } απεστειλεν τοις υιοις ισραηλ ευαγγελιζομενος ειρηνην δια ιησου χριστου ουτος εστιν παντων κυριος
37 That word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout all Judæa, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
υμεις οιδατε το γενομενον ρημα καθ ολης της ιουδαιας αρξαμενος απο της γαλιλαιας μετα το βαπτισμα ο εκηρυξεν ιωαννης
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
ιησουν τον απο ναζαρεθ ως εχρισεν αυτον ο θεος πνευματι αγιω και δυναμει ος διηλθεν ευεργετων και ιωμενος παντας τους καταδυναστευομενους υπο του διαβολου οτι ο θεος ην μετ αυτου
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
και ημεις μαρτυρες παντων ων εποιησεν εν τε τη χωρα των ιουδαιων και {VAR2: [εν] } ιερουσαλημ ον και ανειλαν κρεμασαντες επι ξυλου
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
τουτον ο θεος ηγειρεν {VAR2: [εν] } τη τριτη ημερα και εδωκεν αυτον εμφανη γενεσθαι
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, [even] to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
ου παντι τω λαω αλλα μαρτυσιν τοις προκεχειροτονημενοις υπο του θεου ημιν οιτινες συνεφαγομεν και συνεπιομεν αυτω μετα το αναστηναι αυτον εκ νεκρων
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God [to be] the Judge of quick and dead.
και παρηγγειλεν ημιν κηρυξαι τω λαω και διαμαρτυρασθαι οτι ουτος εστιν ο ωρισμενος υπο του θεου κριτης ζωντων και νεκρων
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
τουτω παντες οι προφηται μαρτυρουσιν αφεσιν αμαρτιων λαβειν δια του ονοματος αυτου παντα τον πιστευοντα εις αυτον
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
ετι λαλουντος του πετρου τα ρηματα ταυτα επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επι παντας τους ακουοντας τον λογον
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
και εξεστησαν οι εκ περιτομης πιστοι {VAR1: οι } {VAR2: οσοι } συνηλθαν τω πετρω οτι και επι τα εθνη η δωρεα του {VAR1: πνευματος του αγιου } {VAR2: αγιου πνευματος } εκκεχυται
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
ηκουον γαρ αυτων λαλουντων γλωσσαις και μεγαλυνοντων τον θεον τοτε απεκριθη πετρος
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
μητι το υδωρ δυναται κωλυσαι τις του μη βαπτισθηναι τουτους οιτινες το πνευμα το αγιον ελαβον ως και ημεις
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
προσεταξεν δε αυτους εν τω ονοματι ιησου χριστου βαπτισθηναι τοτε ηρωτησαν αυτον επιμειναι ημερας τινας
