Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
ο δε σαυλοσ ετι εμπνεων απειλησ και φονου εισ τουσ μαθητασ του κυριου προσελθων τω αρχιερει
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any who were of this way of belief, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
ητησατο παρ αυτου επιστολασ εισ δαμασκον προσ τασ συναγωγασ οπωσ εαν τινασ ευρη τησ οδου οντασ ανδρασ τε και γυναικασ δεδεμενουσ αγαγη εισ ιερουσαλημ
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
εν δε τω πορευεσθαι εγενετο αυτον εγγιζειν τη δαμασκω και εξαιφνησ περιηστραψεν αυτον φωσ απο του ουρανου
4 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
και πεσων επι την γην ηκουσεν φωνην λεγουσαν αυτω σαουλ σαουλ τι με διωκεισ
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
ειπεν δε τισ ει κυριε ο δε κυριοσ ειπεν εγω ειμι ιησουσ ον συ διωκεισ
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
αλλα αναστηθι και εισελθε εισ την πολιν και λαληθησεται σοι τι σε δει ποιειν
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
οι δε ανδρεσ οι συνοδευοντεσ αυτω ειστηκεισαν ενεοι ακουοντεσ μεν τησ φωνησ μηδενα δε θεωρουντεσ
8 And Saul arose from the earth; but when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
ηγερθη δε ο σαυλοσ απο τησ γησ ανεωγμενων τε των οφθαλμων αυτου ουδενα εβλεπεν χειραγωγουντεσ δε αυτον εισηγαγον εισ δαμασκον
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
και ην ημερασ τρεισ μη βλεπων και ουκ εφαγεν ουδε επιεν
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and to him the Lord said in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
ην δε τισ μαθητησ εν δαμασκω ονοματι ανανιασ και ειπεν προσ αυτον ο κυριοσ εν οραματι ανανια ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω κυριε
11 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus; for lo! he prayeth,
ο δε κυριοσ προσ αυτον αναστασ πορευθητι επι την ρυμην την καλουμενην ευθειαν και ζητησον εν οικια ιουδα σαυλον ονοματι ταρσεα ιδου γαρ προσευχεται
12 and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive sight.
και ειδεν εν οραματι ανδρα ονοματι ανανιαν εισελθοντα και επιθεντα αυτω χειρα οπωσ αναβλεψη
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how great evils he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
απεκριθη δε ανανιασ κυριε ακηκοα απο πολλων περι του ανδροσ τουτου οσα κακα εποιησεν τοισ αγιοισ σου εν ιερουσαλημ
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
και ωδε εχει εξουσιαν παρα των αρχιερεων δησαι παντασ τουσ επικαλουμενουσ το ονομα σου
15 But the Lord said to him, Go; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the sons of Israel.
ειπεν δε προσ αυτον ο κυριοσ πορευου οτι σκευοσ εκλογησ μοι εστιν ουτοσ του βαστασαι το ονομα μου ενωπιον εθνων και βασιλεων υιων τε ισραηλ
16 For I myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
εγω γαρ υποδειξω αυτω οσα δει αυτον υπερ του ονοματοσ μου παθειν
17 And Ananias went away, and entered the house; and putting his hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus who appeared to thee in the way thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayst receive sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
απηλθεν δε ανανιασ και εισηλθεν εισ την οικιαν και επιθεισ επ αυτον τασ χειρασ ειπεν σαουλ αδελφε ο κυριοσ απεσταλκεν με ο οφθεισ σοι εν τη οδω η ηρχου οπωσ αναβλεψησ και πλησθησ πνευματοσ αγιου
18 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
και ευθεωσ απεπεσον απο των οφθαλμων αυτου ωσει λεπιδεσ ανεβλεψεν τε και αναστασ εβαπτισθη
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
και λαβων τροφην ενισχυσεν εγενετο δε ο σαυλοσ μετα των εν δαμασκω μαθητων ημερασ τινασ
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
και ευθεωσ εν ταισ συναγωγαισ εκηρυσσεν τον χριστον οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ του θεου
21 And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name? And he hath come hither for this purpose, that he may bring them bound to the chief priests.
εξισταντο δε παντεσ οι ακουοντεσ και ελεγον ουχ ουτοσ εστιν ο πορθησασ εν ιερουσαλημ τουσ επικαλουμενουσ το ονομα τουτο και ωδε εισ τουτο εληλυθεν ινα δεδεμενουσ αυτουσ αγαγη επι τουσ αρχιερεισ
22 But Saul gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
σαυλοσ δε μαλλον ενεδυναμουτο και συνεχυνεν τουσ ιουδαιουσ τουσ κατοικουντασ εν δαμασκω συμβιβαζων οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο χριστοσ
23 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
ωσ δε επληρουντο ημεραι ικαναι συνεβουλευσαντο οι ιουδαιοι ανελειν αυτον
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
εγνωσθη δε τω σαυλω η επιβουλη αυτων παρετηρουν τε τασ πυλασ ημερασ τε και νυκτοσ οπωσ αυτον ανελωσιν
25 But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
λαβοντεσ δε αυτον οι μαθηται νυκτοσ καθηκαν δια του τειχουσ χαλασαντεσ εν σπυριδι
26 And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
παραγενομενοσ δε ο σαυλοσ εν ιερουσαλημ επειρατο κολλασθαι τοισ μαθηταισ και παντεσ εφοβουντο αυτον μη πιστευοντεσ οτι εστιν μαθητησ
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and hew he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
βαρναβασ δε επιλαβομενοσ αυτον ηγαγεν προσ τουσ αποστολουσ και διηγησατο αυτοισ πωσ εν τη οδω ειδεν τον κυριον και οτι ελαλησεν αυτω και πωσ εν δαμασκω επαρρησιασατο εν τω ονοματι του ιησου
28 And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
και ην μετ αυτων εισπορευομενοσ εισ ιερουσαλημ και παρρησιαζομενοσ εν τω ονοματι του κυριου ιησου
29 speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he often spoke and disputed with the Hellenists; but they were endeavoring to slay him.
ελαλει τε και συνεζητει προσ τουσ ελληνιστασ οι δε επεχειρουν αυτον ανελειν
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
επιγνοντεσ δε οι αδελφοι κατηγαγον αυτον εισ καισαρειαν και εξαπεστειλαν αυτον εισ ταρσον
31 The church therefore throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being built up, and walking in the fear of the Lord; and by the exhortation of the Holy Spirit it was greatly increased.
αι μεν ουν εκκλησιαι καθ ολησ τησ ιουδαιασ και γαλιλαιασ και σαμαρειασ ειχον ειρηνην οικοδομουμεναι και πορευομεναι τω φοβω του κυριου και τη παρακλησει του αγιου πνευματοσ επληθυνοντο
32 And it came to pass, that as Peter went through the whole country, he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
εγενετο δε πετρον διερχομενον δια παντων κατελθειν και προσ τουσ αγιουσ τουσ κατοικουντασ λυδδαν
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
ευρεν δε εκει ανθρωπον τινα αινεαν ονοματι εξ ετων οκτω κατακειμενον επι κραββατω οσ ην παραλελυμενοσ
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
και ειπεν αυτω ο πετροσ αινεα ιαται σε ιησουσ ο χριστοσ αναστηθι και στρωσον σεαυτω και ευθεωσ ανεστη
35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
και ειδον αυτον παντεσ οι κατοικουντεσ λυδδαν και τον ασσαρωνα οιτινεσ επεστρεψαν επι τον κυριον
36 Now at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name being interpreted is the same as Dorcas, that is, Gazelle. This woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
εν ιοππη δε τισ ην μαθητρια ονοματι ταβηθα η διερμηνευομενη λεγεται δορκασ αυτη ην πληρησ αγαθων εργων και ελεημοσυνων ων εποιει
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
εγενετο δε εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ ασθενησασαν αυτην αποθανειν λουσαντεσ δε αυτην εθηκαν εν υπερωω
38 And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him two men with the entreaty, Do not delay to come to us.
εγγυσ δε ουσησ λυδδησ τη ιοππη οι μαθηται ακουσαντεσ οτι πετροσ εστιν εν αυτη απεστειλαν προσ αυτον παρακαλουντεσ μη οκνησαι διελθειν εωσ αυτων
39 Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows came to him weeping, and showing the coats and cloaks which Dorcas made while she was with them.
αναστασ δε πετροσ συνηλθεν αυτοισ ον παραγενομενον ανηγαγον εισ το υπερωον και παρεστησαν αυτω πασαι αι χηραι κλαιουσαι και επιδεικνυμεναι χιτωνασ και ιματια οσα εποιει μετ αυτων ουσα η δορκασ
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.
εκβαλων δε εξω παντασ ο πετροσ θεισ τα γονατα προσηυξατο και επιστρεψασ προσ το σωμα ειπεν ταβηθα αναστηθι η δε ηνοιξεν τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτησ και ιδουσα τον πετρον ανεκαθισεν
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
δουσ δε αυτη χειρα ανεστησεν αυτην φωνησασ δε τουσ αγιουσ και τασ χηρασ παρεστησεν αυτην ζωσαν
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
γνωστον δε εγενετο καθ ολησ τησ ιοππησ και πολλοι επιστευσαν επι τον κυριον
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
εγενετο δε ημερασ ικανασ μειναι αυτον εν ιοππη παρα τινι σιμωνι βυρσει
