Acts 13

1 Now in the church that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Ἦσαν δὲ (τινες *k*) ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ κατὰ τὴν οὖσαν ἐκκλησίαν προφῆται καὶ διδάσκαλοι, ὅ τε Βαρναβᾶς καὶ Συμεὼν ὁ καλούμενος Νίγερ καὶ Λούκιος ὁ Κυρηναῖος, Μαναήν τε Ἡρῴδου τοῦ τετραάρχου σύντροφος καὶ Σαῦλος.

2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them."

λειτουργούντων δὲ αὐτῶν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ νηστευόντων εἶπεν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον· ἀφορίσατε δή μοι τὸν (τε *k*) Βαρναβᾶν καὶ (τὸν *k*) Σαῦλον εἰς τὸ ἔργον ὃ προσκέκλημαι αὐτούς.

3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

τότε νηστεύσαντες καὶ προσευξάμενοι καὶ ἐπιθέντες τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῖς ἀπέλυσαν.

4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

(Αὐτοὶ *N(k)O*) μὲν οὖν ἐκπεμφθέντες ὑπὸ τοῦ ἁγίου (τοῦ *k*) πνεύματος κατῆλθον εἰς (τὴν *k*) Σελεύκειαν, ἐκεῖθέν (τε *NK(o)*) ἀπέπλευσαν εἰς (τὴν *k*) Κύπρον.

5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.

καὶ γενόμενοι ἐν Σαλαμῖνι κατήγγελλον τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων· εἶχον δὲ καὶ Ἰωάννην ὑπηρέτην.

6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus,

Διελθόντες δὲ (ὅλην *NO*) τὴν νῆσον ἄχρι Πάφου εὗρον (ἄνδρα *NO*) τινὰ μάγον ψευδοπροφήτην Ἰουδαῖον ᾧ ὄνομα (Βαριησοῦ, *N(k)O*)

7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.

ὃς ἦν σὺν τῷ ἀνθυπάτῳ Σεργίῳ Παύλῳ, ἀνδρὶ συνετῷ. οὗτος προσκαλεσάμενος Βαρναβᾶν καὶ Σαῦλον ἐπεζήτησεν ἀκοῦσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ.

8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.

ἀνθίστατο δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἐλύμας ὁ μάγος, οὕτως γὰρ μεθερμηνεύεται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, ζητῶν διαστρέψαι τὸν ἀνθύπατον ἀπὸ τῆς πίστεως.

9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,

Σαῦλος δὲ ὁ καὶ Παῦλος πλησθεὶς πνεύματος ἁγίου (καὶ *k*) ἀτενίσας εἰς αὐτὸν

10 and said, "Full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

εἶπεν· ὦ πλήρης παντὸς δόλου καὶ πάσης ῥᾳδιουργίας, υἱὲ διαβόλου, ἐχθρὲ πάσης δικαιοσύνης, οὐ παύσῃ διαστρέφων τὰς ὁδοὺς (τοῦ *no*) κυρίου τὰς εὐθείας;

11 Now, look, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ χεὶρ (τοῦ *k*) κυρίου ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ἔσῃ τυφλὸς μὴ βλέπων τὸν ἥλιον ἄχρι καιροῦ. παραχρῆμά (τε ἔπεσεν *N(k)O*) ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ἀχλὺς καὶ σκότος, καὶ περιάγων ἐζήτει χειραγωγούς.

12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

τότε ἰδὼν ὁ ἀνθύπατος τὸ γεγονὸς ἐπίστευσεν ἐκπλησσόμενος ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ τοῦ κυρίου.

13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.

Ἀναχθέντες δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς Πάφου οἱ περὶ (τὸν *k*) Παῦλον ἦλθον εἰς Πέργην τῆς Παμφυλίας. Ἰωάννης δὲ ἀποχωρήσας ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.

14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.

αὐτοὶ δὲ διελθόντες ἀπὸ τῆς Πέργης παρεγένοντο εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν (τὴν Πισιδίαν, *N(k)O*) καὶ (εἰσελθόντες *NK(o)*) εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἐκάθισαν.

15 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak."

μετὰ δὲ τὴν ἀνάγνωσιν τοῦ νόμου καὶ τῶν προφητῶν ἀπέστειλαν οἱ ἀρχισυνάγωγοι πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγοντες· ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, εἴ τίς ἐστιν ἐν ὑμῖν λόγος παρακλήσεως πρὸς τὸν λαόν, λέγετε.

16 Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

Ἀναστὰς δὲ Παῦλος καὶ κατασείσας τῇ χειρὶ εἶπεν· ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν, ἀκούσατε.

17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as foreigners in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.

ὁ θεὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου Ἰσραὴλ ἐξελέξατο τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν καὶ τὸν λαὸν ὕψωσεν ἐν τῇ παροικίᾳ ἐν γῇ (Αἰγύπτου *N(k)O*) καὶ μετὰ βραχίονος ὑψηλοῦ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐξ αὐτῆς·

18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

καὶ ὡς τεσσερακονταετῆ χρόνον ἐτροποφόρησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,

19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.

καὶ καθελὼν ἔθνη ἑπτὰ ἐν γῇ Χανάαν κατεκληρονόμησεν (αὐτοῖς *k*) τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν

20 All this took about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet.

ὡς ἔτεσιν τετρακοσίοις καὶ πεντήκοντα· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἔδωκεν κριτὰς ἕως Σαμουὴλ τοῦ προφήτου·

21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

κἀκεῖθεν κἀκεῖθεν ᾐτήσαντο βασιλέα, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς τὸν Σαοὺλ υἱὸν Κίς, ἄνδρα ἐκ φυλῆς Βενιαμίν, ἔτη τεσσεράκοντα·

22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'

καὶ μεταστήσας αὐτὸν ἤγειρεν τὸν Δαυὶδ αὐτοῖς εἰς βασιλέα, ᾧ καὶ εἶπεν μαρτυρήσας· εὗρον Δαυὶδ τὸν τοῦ Ἰεσσαί, ἄνδρα κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν μου, ὃς ποιήσει πάντα τὰ θελήματά μου.

23 From this man's offspring, according to his promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus,

τούτου ὁ θεὸς ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος κατ᾽ ἐπαγγελίαν (ἤγαγεν *N(K)O*) τῷ Ἰσραὴλ (σωτῆρα *NK(O)*) Ἰησοῦν,

24 before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

προκηρύξαντος Ἰωάννου πρὸ προσώπου τῆς εἰσόδου αὐτοῦ βάπτισμα μετανοίας παντὶ τῷ λαῷ Ἰσραήλ.

25 As John was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But look, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'

ὡς δὲ ἐπλήρου (ὁ *k*) Ἰωάννης τὸν δρόμον ἔλεγεν· (τί *N(k)O*) ἐμὲ ὑπονοεῖτε εἶναι; οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγώ· ἀλλ᾽ ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται μετ᾽ ἐμὲ οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἄξιος τὸ ὑπόδημα τῶν ποδῶν λῦσαι.

26 Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to us.

Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, υἱοὶ γένους Ἀβραὰμ καὶ οἱ ἐν ὑμῖν φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν, (ἡμῖν *N(K)O*) ὁ λόγος τῆς σωτηρίας ταύτης (ἐξαπεστάλη. *N(k)O*)

27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

οἱ γὰρ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν τοῦτον ἀγνοήσαντες καὶ τὰς φωνὰς τῶν προφητῶν τὰς κατὰ πᾶν σάββατον ἀναγινωσκομένας, κρίναντες ἐπλήρωσαν·

28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

καὶ μηδεμίαν αἰτίαν θανάτου εὑρόντες ᾐτήσαντο Πιλᾶτον ἀναιρεθῆναι αὐτόν.

29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and placed him in a tomb.

ὡς δὲ ἐτέλεσαν (πάντα *N(k)O*) τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα, καθελόντες ἀπὸ τοῦ ξύλου ἔθηκαν εἰς μνημεῖον.

30 But God raised him from the dead,

ὁ δὲ θεὸς ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν,

31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

ὃς ὤφθη ἐπὶ ἡμέρας πλείους τοῖς συναναβᾶσιν αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, οἵτινες (νῦν *NO*) εἰσιν μάρτυρες αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν λαόν.

32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμᾶς εὐαγγελιζόμεθα τὴν πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἐπαγγελίαν γενομένην,

33 that God has fulfilled for us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'

ὅτι ταύτην ὁ θεὸς ἐκπεπλήρωκεν τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτῶν (ἡμῖν *NK(O)*) ἀναστήσας Ἰησοῦν, ὡς καὶ ἐν τῷ ψαλμῷ γέγραπται τῷ (δευτέρῳ· *NK(O)*) υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε.

34 "Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give to you the faithful sacred things of David.'

ὅτι δὲ ἀνέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν μηκέτι μέλλοντα ὑποστρέφειν εἰς διαφθοράν, οὕτως εἴρηκεν ὅτι δώσω ὑμῖν τὰ ὅσια Δαυὶδ τὰ πιστά.

35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'

(διότι *N(k)O*) καὶ ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει· οὐ δώσεις τὸν ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν.

36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw decay.

Δαυὶδ μὲν γὰρ ἰδίᾳ γενεᾷ ὑπηρετήσας τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ βουλῇ ἐκοιμήθη καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδεν διαφθοράν·

37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

ὃν δὲ ὁ θεὸς ἤγειρεν, οὐκ εἶδεν διαφθοράν.

38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins,

Γνωστὸν οὖν ἔστω ὑμῖν, ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ὅτι διὰ τούτου ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται·

39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Moses.

καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν οὐκ ἠδυνήθητε ἐν (τῷ *k*) νόμῳ Μωϋσέως δικαιωθῆναι, ἐν τούτῳ πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων δικαιοῦται.

40 So beware, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:

βλέπετε οὖν μὴ ἐπέλθῃ (ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς *K*) τὸ εἰρημένον ἐν τοῖς προφήταις·

41 'Look, you scoffers, and be amazed, and perish; for I am working a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if one tells it to you.'"

ἴδετε, οἱ καταφρονηταί, καὶ θαυμάσατε καὶ ἀφανίσθητε, ὅτι ἔργον ἐργάζομαι ἐγὼ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν, ἔργον (ὃ *N(k)O*) οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε ἐάν τις ἐκδιηγῆται ὑμῖν.

42 So when they went out they urged them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.

Ἐξιόντων δὲ (αὐτῶν *no*) (ἐκ τῆς *k*) (συναγωγῆς *K*) (τῶν *k*) (Ἰουδαίων *K*) παρεκάλουν (τὰ ἔθνη *K*) εἰς τὸ μεταξὺ σάββατον λαληθῆναι αὐτοῖς τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα.

43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

λυθείσης δὲ τῆς συναγωγῆς ἠκολούθησαν πολλοὶ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ τῶν σεβομένων προσηλύτων τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Βαρναβᾷ, οἵτινες προσλαλοῦντες αὐτοῖς ἔπειθον αὐτοὺς (προσμένειν *N(k)O*) τῇ χάριτι τοῦ θεοῦ.

44 The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.

τῷ (δὲ *NK(o)*) ἐρχομένῳ σαββάτῳ σχεδὸν πᾶσα ἡ πόλις συνήχθη ἀκοῦσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ (κυρίου. *N(K)O*)

45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and reviled him.

ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τοὺς ὄχλους ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου καὶ ἀντέλεγον τοῖς ὑπὸ (τοῦ *k*) Παύλου (λαλουμένοις *N(k)O*) (ἀντιλέγοντες καὶ *K*) βλασφημοῦντες.

46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, look, we turn to the non-Jewish people. (aiōnios g166)

παρρησιασάμενοί (τε *N(k)O*) ὁ Παῦλος καὶ ὁ Βαρναβᾶς εἶπαν· ὑμῖν ἦν ἀναγκαῖον πρῶτον λαληθῆναι τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ· ἐπειδὴ (δὲ *ko*) ἀπωθεῖσθε αὐτὸν καὶ οὐκ ἀξίους κρίνετε ἑαυτοὺς τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς, ἰδοὺ στρεφόμεθα εἰς τὰ ἔθνη. (aiōnios g166)

47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part of the earth.'"

οὕτως γὰρ ἐντέταλται ἡμῖν ὁ κύριος· τέθεικά σε εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν τοῦ εἶναί σε εἰς σωτηρίαν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.

48 As the non-Jewish people heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to everlasting life believed. (aiōnios g166)

Ἀκούοντα δὲ τὰ ἔθνη (ἔχαιρον *NK(o)*) καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν λόγον τοῦ (κυρίου *NK(O)*) καὶ ἐπίστευσαν ὅσοι ἦσαν τεταγμένοι εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον. (aiōnios g166)

49 The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

διεφέρετο δὲ ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου δι᾽ ὅλης τῆς χώρας.

50 But the Jews stirred up the devout women of prominence and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.

οἱ δὲ Ἰουδαῖοι παρώτρυναν τὰς σεβομένας γυναῖκας (καὶ *k*) τὰς εὐσχήμονας καὶ τοὺς πρώτους τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐπήγειραν διωγμὸν ἐπὶ τὸν Παῦλον καὶ (τὸν *k*) Βαρναβᾶν καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν.

51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

οἱ δὲ ἐκτιναξάμενοι τὸν κονιορτὸν τῶν ποδῶν (αὐτῶν *k*) ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἦλθον εἰς Ἰκόνιον.

52 The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.

οἵ (τε *N(k)O*) μαθηταὶ ἐπληροῦντο χαρᾶς καὶ πνεύματος ἁγίου.
