< Acts 11 >
1 Now the Apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judaea heard that, the nations also, had welcomed the word of God.
ηκουσαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι αδελφοι οι οντεσ κατα την ιουδαιαν οτι και τα εθνη εδεξαντο τον λογον του θεου
2 And, when Peter came up unto Jerusalem, they of the circumcision began to find fault with him,
και οτε ανεβη πετροσ εισ ιεροσολυμα διεκρινοντο προσ αυτον οι εκ περιτομησ
3 Saying—he went in unto men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.
λεγοντεσ οτι προσ ανδρασ ακροβυστιαν εχοντασ εισηλθεσ και συνεφαγεσ αυτοισ
4 But Peter, making a beginning, went on to set forth the matter unto them in order, saying—
αρξαμενοσ δε ο πετροσ εξετιθετο αυτοισ καθεξησ λεγων
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and saw in a trance, a vision: —coming down a sort of vessel, like a large sheet, by four corners, being let down out of heaven, and it came even unto me:
εγω ημην εν πολει ιοππη προσευχομενοσ και ειδον εν εκστασει οραμα καταβαινον σκευοσ τι ωσ οθονην μεγαλην τεσσαρσιν αρχαισ καθιεμενην εκ του ουρανου και ηλθεν αχρι εμου
6 Into which steadfastly looking, began to observe, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of heaven.
εισ ην ατενισασ κατενοουν και ειδον τα τετραποδα τησ γησ και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου
7 Moreover heard a voice also, saying unto me—Rise, Peter! slay and eat.
ηκουσα δε φωνησ λεγουσησ μοι αναστασ πετρε θυσον και φαγε
8 But I said—By no means, Lord, because, a common or unclean thing, hath at no time entered into my mouth.
ειπον δε μηδαμωσ κυριε οτι παν κοινον η ακαθαρτον ουδεποτε εισηλθεν εισ το στομα μου
9 And a voice answered, a second time, out of heaven—What things, God, hath cleansed, be not, thou, making common.
απεκριθη δε μοι φωνη εκ δευτερου εκ του ουρανου α ο θεοσ εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου
10 And, this, took place thrice, —and the whole was drawn up again into heaven;
τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρισ και παλιν ανεσπασθη απαντα εισ τον ουρανον
11 And lo! immediately, three men halted at the house wherein we were, sent from Caesarea unto me.
και ιδου εξαυτησ τρεισ ανδρεσ επεστησαν επι την οικιαν εν η ημην απεσταλμενοι απο καισαρειασ προσ με
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also; and we entered into the house of the man,
ειπεν δε μοι το πνευμα συνελθειν αυτοισ μηδεν διακρινομενον ηλθον δε συν εμοι και οι εξ αδελφοι ουτοι και εισηλθομεν εισ τον οικον του ανδροσ
13 And he related to us how he had seen the messenger in his house, standing, and saying—Send away unto Joppa, and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
απηγγειλεν τε ημιν πωσ ειδεν τον αγγελον εν τω οικω αυτου σταθεντα και ειποντα αυτω αποστειλον εισ ιοππην ανδρασ και μεταπεμψαι σιμωνα τον επικαλουμενον πετρον
14 Who shall speak words unto thee, whereby thou shall be saved, thou, and all thy house.
οσ λαλησει ρηματα προσ σε εν οισ σωθηση συ και πασ ο οικοσ σου
15 And, as I began to be speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also at the beginning.
εν δε τω αρξασθαι με λαλειν επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επ αυτουσ ωσπερ και εφ ημασ εν αρχη
16 And I was put in mind of the word of the Lord, how he used to say—John, indeed, immersed with water; but, ye, shall be immersed in Holy Spirit.
εμνησθην δε του ρηματοσ κυριου ωσ ελεγεν ιωαννησ μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεισ δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν πνευματι αγιω
17 If therefore the like free-gift God gave unto them, as even unto us, when we had believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who was, I, that could withstand God?
ει ουν την ισην δωρεαν εδωκεν αυτοισ ο θεοσ ωσ και ημιν πιστευσασιν επι τον κυριον ιησουν χριστον εγω δε τισ ημην δυνατοσ κωλυσαι τον θεον
18 And, having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying—Hence, even unto the nations, God hath granted repentance unto life.
ακουσαντεσ δε ταυτα ησυχασαν και εδοξαζον τον θεον λεγοντεσ αρα γε και τοισ εθνεσιν ο θεοσ την μετανοιαν εδωκεν εισ ζωην
19 They, therefore, who had been scattered abroad by reason of the tribulation that took place on account of Stephen, passed through as far as Phoenice and Cyprus and Antioch, unto no one speaking the word, save alone unto Jews.
οι μεν ουν διασπαρεντεσ απο τησ θλιψεωσ τησ γενομενησ επι στεφανω διηλθον εωσ φοινικησ και κυπρου και αντιοχειασ μηδενι λαλουντεσ τον λογον ει μη μονον ιουδαιοισ
20 And there were some from among them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who, indeed, coming unto Antioch, began speaking, even unto the Grecian Jews, announcing the glad tidings as to the Lord Jesus;
ησαν δε τινεσ εξ αυτων ανδρεσ κυπριοι και κυρηναιοι οιτινεσ εισελθοντεσ εισ αντιοχειαν ελαλουν προσ τουσ ελληνιστασ ευαγγελιζομενοι τον κυριον ιησουν
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number—they who believed—turned unto the Lord.
και ην χειρ κυριου μετ αυτων πολυσ τε αριθμοσ πιστευσασ επεστρεψεν επι τον κυριον
22 And the matter was reported in the hearing of the assembly that was in Jerusalem, concerning them; and they sent forth Barnabas, as far as Antioch;
ηκουσθη δε ο λογοσ εισ τα ωτα τησ εκκλησιασ τησ εν ιεροσολυμοισ περι αυτων και εξαπεστειλαν βαρναβαν διελθειν εωσ αντιοχειασ
23 Who, arriving, and seeing the favour which was of God, rejoiced, and went on to beseech all, with the purpose of their heart, to abide [in] the Lord;
οσ παραγενομενοσ και ιδων την χαριν του θεου εχαρη και παρεκαλει παντασ τη προθεσει τησ καρδιασ προσμενειν τω κυριω
24 Because he was a good man, and full of Holy Spirit and faith; and a considerable multitude were added unto the Lord.
οτι ην ανηρ αγαθοσ και πληρησ πνευματοσ αγιου και πιστεωσ και προσετεθη οχλοσ ικανοσ τω κυριω
25 He went away, however, unto Tarsus, to seek up Saul;
εξηλθεν δε εισ ταρσον ο βαρναβασ αναζητησαι σαυλον
26 And, finding him, he brought him unto Antioch. And so it was with them, that, for a whole year, they were brought together in the assembly, and taught a considerable multitude; also that the disciples, first in Antioch, were called, Christians.
και ευρων ηγαγεν αυτον εισ αντιοχειαν εγενετο δε αυτουσ ενιαυτον ολον συναχθηναι τη εκκλησια και διδαξαι οχλον ικανον χρηματισαι τε πρωτον εν αντιοχεια τουσ μαθητασ χριστιανουσ
27 Now, in these days, there came down from Jerusalem, prophets, unto Antioch.
εν ταυταισ δε ταισ ημεραισ κατηλθον απο ιεροσολυμων προφηται εισ αντιοχειαν
28 And one from among them, by name Agabus, rising up, gave a sign, through means of the Spirit, that, a great famine, was coming over all the inhabited earth; which, indeed, came to pass under Claudius.
αναστασ δε εισ εξ αυτων ονοματι αγαβοσ εσημανεν δια του πνευματοσ λιμον μεγαν μελλειν εσεσθαι εφ ολην την οικουμενην οστισ και εγενετο επι κλαυδιου καισαροσ
29 And, according as any one of the disciples was being prospered, they each one of them set apart [something] for ministering, to send unto the brethren, who dwelt in Jerusalem; —
των δε μαθητων καθωσ ευπορειτο τισ ωρισαν εκαστοσ αυτων εισ διακονιαν πεμψαι τοισ κατοικουσιν εν τη ιουδαια αδελφοισ
30 Which thing they also did, sending it unto the Elders, through the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
ο και εποιησαν αποστειλαντεσ προσ τουσ πρεσβυτερουσ δια χειροσ βαρναβα και σαυλου
