Acts 8
1 And, Saul, was taking pleasure with them in his death. Moreover there arose, in that day, a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem; [and], all, were scattered abroad throughout the countries of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
σαυλοσ δε ην συνευδοκων τη αναιρεσει αυτου εγενετο δε εν εκεινη τη ημερα διωγμοσ μεγασ επι την εκκλησιαν την εν ιεροσολυμοισ παντεσ δε διεσπαρησαν κατα τασ χωρασ τησ ιουδαιασ και σαμαρειασ πλην των αποστολων
2 Howbeit reverent men assisted at the burial of Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.
συνεκομισαν δε τον στεφανον ανδρεσ ευλαβεισ και εποιησαντο κοπετον μεγαν επ αυτω
3 But, Saul, went on to lay waste the assembly, along the houses, going in, and, dragging off both men and women, was
σαυλοσ δε ελυμαινετο την εκκλησιαν κατα τουσ οικουσ εισπορευομενοσ συρων τε ανδρασ και γυναικασ παρεδιδου εισ φυλακην
4 They, indeed, therefore, who were scattered abroad, passed through, telling the good-news of the word;
οι μεν ουν διασπαρεντεσ διηλθον ευαγγελιζομενοι τον λογον
5 And, Philip, going down unto the city of Samaria, proclaimed unto them the Christ.
φιλιπποσ δε κατελθων εισ πολιν τησ σαμαρειασ εκηρυσσεν αυτοισ τον χριστον
6 And the multitudes began to give heed unto the things that were being spoken by Philip, with one accord, when they heard him, and saw the signs which he was working.
προσειχον τε οι οχλοι τοισ λεγομενοισ υπο του φιλιππου ομοθυμαδον εν τω ακουειν αυτουσ και βλεπειν τα σημεια α εποιει
7 For, from many who had impure spirits, shouting with a loud voice, they were going out, and, many that were paralysed and lame, were cured.
πολλων γαρ των εχοντων πνευματα ακαθαρτα βοωντα φωνη μεγαλη εξηρχετο πολλοι δε παραλελυμενοι και χωλοι εθεραπευθησαν
8 And there came to be great joy in that city.
και εγενετο χαρα μεγαλη εν τη πολει εκεινη
9 But, a certain man named Simon, was already in the city, practising magical arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, —saying that himself was someone great:
ανηρ δε τισ ονοματι σιμων προυπηρχεν εν τη πολει μαγευων και εξιστων το εθνοσ τησ σαμαρειασ λεγων ειναι τινα εαυτον μεγαν
10 Unto whom all were giving heed, from small even to great, saying—This, is the Power of God, which is called Great.
ω προσειχον απο μικρου εωσ μεγαλου λεγοντεσ ουτοσ εστιν η δυναμισ του θεου η μεγαλη
11 And they were giving heed to him, because that, for a considerable time, with his magical arts, he had astonished them.
προσειχον δε αυτω δια το ικανω χρονω ταισ μαγειαισ εξεστακεναι αυτουσ
12 But, when they believed Philip telling the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they proceeded to be immersed, both men and women.
οτε δε επιστευσαν τω φιλιππω ευαγγελιζομενω τα περι τησ βασιλειασ του θεου και του ονοματοσ ιησου χριστου εβαπτιζοντο ανδρεσ τε και γυναικεσ
13 And, Simon himself also, believed; and, having been immersed, was in constant attendance on Philip, —and, beholding signs and great works of power coming to pass, was astonished.
ο δε σιμων και αυτοσ επιστευσεν και βαπτισθεισ ην προσκαρτερων τω φιλιππω θεωρων τε δυναμεισ και σημεια γινομενα εξιστατο
14 And the Apostles who were in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had welcomed the word of God, sent out unto them Peter and John;
ακουσαντεσ δε οι εν ιεροσολυμοισ αποστολοι οτι δεδεκται η σαμαρεια τον λογον του θεου απεστειλαν προσ αυτουσ τον πετρον και ιωαννην
15 Who, indeed, going down, prayed for them, that they might receive Holy Spirit; —
οιτινεσ καταβαντεσ προσηυξαντο περι αυτων οπωσ λαβωσιν πνευμα αγιον
16 For, not yet, had it, upon any one of them, fallen, but, only, to begin with, they had been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.
ουπω γαρ ην επ ουδενι αυτων επιπεπτωκοσ μονον δε βεβαπτισμενοι υπηρχον εισ το ονομα του χριστου ιησου
17 Then, proceeded they to lay their hands upon them, and they were receiving Holy Spirit.
τοτε επετιθουν τασ χειρασ επ αυτουσ και ελαμβανον πνευμα αγιον
18 But Simon, seeing that, through means of the laying on of the hands of the Apostles, the Spirit was being given, offered unto them money,
θεασαμενοσ δε ο σιμων οτι δια τησ επιθεσεωσ των χειρων των αποστολων διδοται το πνευμα το αγιον προσηνεγκεν αυτοισ χρηματα
19 Saying—Give unto me also this authority, —in order that, on whomsoever may lay my hands, he may receive Holy Spirit.
λεγων δοτε καμοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην ινα ω εαν επιθω τασ χειρασ λαμβανη πνευμα αγιον
20 And Peter said unto him—Thy silver, with thee, go to destruction! Because, the free-gift of God, thou didst suppose could, with money, be obtained!
πετροσ δε ειπεν προσ αυτον το αργυριον σου συν σοι ειη εισ απωλειαν οτι την δωρεαν του θεου ενομισασ δια χρηματων κτασθαι
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for, thy heart, is not upright before God.
ουκ εστιν σοι μερισ ουδε κληροσ εν τω λογω τουτω η γαρ καρδια σου ουκ εστιν ευθεια ενωπιον του θεου
22 Repent, therefore, from this thy baseness, and entreat of the Lord—whether, after all, the purpose of thy heart shall be forgiven thee;
μετανοησον ουν απο τησ κακιασ σου ταυτησ και δεηθητι του θεου ει αρα αφεθησεται σοι η επινοια τησ καρδιασ σου
23 For see that thou servest as a gall-root of bitterness, and a bond of unrighteousness.
εισ γαρ χολην πικριασ και συνδεσμον αδικιασ ορω σε οντα
24 And Simon, answering, said—Entreat ye, in my behalf, unto the Lord; that, nothing, may come upon me, of the things whereof ye have spoken!
αποκριθεισ δε ο σιμων ειπεν δεηθητε υμεισ υπερ εμου προσ τον κυριον οπωσ μηδεν επελθη επ εμε ων ειρηκατε
25 They, therefore, having fully borne witness, and spoken the word of the Lord, began their return unto Jerusalem, and, unto many villages of the Samaritans, were they telling the glad tidings.
οι μεν ουν διαμαρτυραμενοι και λαλησαντεσ τον λογον του κυριου υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ πολλασ τε κωμασ των σαμαρειτων ευηγγελισαντο
26 And, a messenger of the Lord, spake unto Philip, saying—Arise, and be journeying along southward, unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, —the same, is desert.
αγγελοσ δε κυριου ελαλησεν προσ φιλιππον λεγων αναστηθι και πορευου κατα μεσημβριαν επι την οδον την καταβαινουσαν απο ιερουσαλημ εισ γαζαν αυτη εστιν ερημοσ
27 And, arising, he journeyed. And lo! a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, one in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure [who] had come to worship in Jerusalem;
και αναστασ επορευθη και ιδου ανηρ αιθιοψ ευνουχοσ δυναστησ κανδακησ τησ βασιλισσησ αιθιοπων οσ ην επι πασησ τησ γαζησ αυτησ οσ εληλυθει προσκυνησων εισ ιερουσαλημ
28 And was returning, and, sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
ην τε υποστρεφων και καθημενοσ επι του αρματοσ αυτου και ανεγινωσκεν τον προφητην ησαιαν
29 And the Spirit said unto Philip—Go near, and join thyself unto this chariot!
ειπεν δε το πνευμα τω φιλιππω προσελθε και κολληθητι τω αρματι τουτω
30 And, running near, Philip heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said—Dost thou, then, understand what thou art reading?
προσδραμων δε ο φιλιπποσ ηκουσεν αυτου αναγινωσκοντοσ τον προφητην ησαιαν και ειπεν αρα γε γινωσκεισ α αναγινωσκεισ
31 And, he, said—How indeed should be able—unless someone shall guide me? And he called upon Philip, to come up and sit with him.
ο δε ειπεν πωσ γαρ αν δυναιμην εαν μη τισ οδηγηση με παρεκαλεσεν τε τον φιλιππον αναβαντα καθισαι συν αυτω
32 Now, the passage of Scripture which he was reading, was, this: —As a sheep, unto slaughter, was he led, and, as a lamb, before him that sheareth it, is dumb, so, he openeth not his mouth.
η δε περιοχη τησ γραφησ ην ανεγινωσκεν ην αυτη ωσ προβατον επι σφαγην ηχθη και ωσ αμνοσ εναντιον του κειροντοσ αυτον αφωνοσ ουτωσ ουκ ανοιγει το στομα αυτου
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away, —his generation, who shall describe? because, his life, is taken away from the earth.
εν τη ταπεινωσει αυτου η κρισισ αυτου ηρθη την δε γενεαν αυτου τισ διηγησεται οτι αιρεται απο τησ γησ η ζωη αυτου
34 And the eunuch, making answer unto Philip, said—I pray thee! Of whom, is the prophet saying this? of himself, or, of some different person?
αποκριθεισ δε ο ευνουχοσ τω φιλιππω ειπεν δεομαι σου περι τινοσ ο προφητησ λεγει τουτο περι εαυτου η περι ετερου τινοσ
35 And Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, told him the glad tidings of Jesus.
ανοιξασ δε ο φιλιπποσ το στομα αυτου και αρξαμενοσ απο τησ γραφησ ταυτησ ευηγγελισατο αυτω τον ιησουν
36 And, as they were journeying along the way, they came unto a certain water, —and the eunuch saith—Lo! water! What doth hinder my being immersed?
ωσ δε επορευοντο κατα την οδον ηλθον επι τι υδωρ και φησιν ο ευνουχοσ ιδου υδωρ τι κωλυει με βαπτισθηναι
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down, both, into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, —and he immersed him.
και εκελευσεν στηναι το αρμα και κατεβησαν αμφοτεροι εισ το υδωρ ο τε φιλιπποσ και ο ευνουχοσ και εβαπτισεν αυτον
39 But, when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more; for he was going on his way rejoicing.
οτε δε ανεβησαν εκ του υδατοσ πνευμα κυριου ηρπασεν τον φιλιππον και ουκ ειδεν αυτον ουκετι ο ευνουχοσ επορευετο γαρ την οδον αυτου χαιρων
40 Now Philip was found at Azotus; and, passing through, he was telling the glad tidings unto all the cities, until he came unto Caesarea.
φιλιπποσ δε ευρεθη εισ αζωτον και διερχομενοσ ευηγγελιζετο τασ πολεισ πασασ εωσ του ελθειν αυτον εισ καισαρειαν
