< Acts 12 >

1 In that tyme Herode the kynge stretched forthe his handes to vexe certayne of the congregacion.
κατ εκεινον δε τον καιρον επεβαλεν ηρωδης ο βασιλευς τας χειρας κακωσαι τινας των απο της εκκλησιας
2 And he kylled Iames the brother of Iohn with the swerde:
ανειλεν δε ιακωβον τον αδελφον ιωαννου μαχαιρη
3 and because he sawe that it pleased ye Iewes he proceded forther and toke Peter also. Then were the dayes of swete breed.
ιδων δε οτι αρεστον εστιν τοις ιουδαιοις προσεθετο συλλαβειν και πετρον ησαν δε {VAR2: [αι] } ημεραι των αζυμων
4 And when he had caught him he put him in preson and delyvered him to. iiii. quaternios of soudiers to be kepte entendynge after ester to brynge him forth to the people.
ον και πιασας εθετο εις φυλακην παραδους τεσσαρσιν τετραδιοις στρατιωτων φυλασσειν αυτον βουλομενος μετα το πασχα αναγαγειν αυτον τω λαω
5 Then was Peter kepte in preson. But prayer was made with out ceasynge of the congregacion vnto God for him.
ο μεν ουν πετρος ετηρειτο εν τη φυλακη προσευχη δε ην εκτενως γινομενη υπο της εκκλησιας προς τον θεον περι αυτου
6 And when Herode wolde have brought him oute vnto the people the same nyght slepte Peter bitwene two soudiers bounde with two chaynes and the kepers before the dore kepte the preson.
οτε δε ημελλεν {VAR1: προσαγαγειν } {VAR2: προαγαγειν } αυτον ο ηρωδης τη νυκτι εκεινη ην ο πετρος κοιμωμενος μεταξυ δυο στρατιωτων δεδεμενος αλυσεσιν δυσιν φυλακες τε προ της θυρας ετηρουν την φυλακην
7 And beholde the angell of ye Lorde was there present and a lyght shyned in the lodge. And smote Peter on the syde and steryd him vp sayinge: aryse vp quyckly. And his cheynes fell of fro his hondes.
και ιδου αγγελος κυριου επεστη και φως ελαμψεν εν τω οικηματι παταξας δε την πλευραν του πετρου ηγειρεν αυτον λεγων αναστα εν ταχει και εξεπεσαν αυτου αι αλυσεις εκ των χειρων
8 And the angell sayd vnto him: gyrde thy selfe and bynde on thy sandales. And so he dyd. And he sayde vnto him: cast thy mantle aboute the and folowe me.
ειπεν δε ο αγγελος προς αυτον ζωσαι και υποδησαι τα σανδαλια σου εποιησεν δε ουτως και λεγει αυτω περιβαλου το ιματιον σου και ακολουθει μοι
9 And he came oute and folowed him and wist not that it was truthe which was done by the angell but thought he had sene a vision.
και εξελθων ηκολουθει και ουκ ηδει οτι αληθες εστιν το γινομενον δια του αγγελου εδοκει δε οραμα βλεπειν
10 When they were past ye fyrst and ye seconde watche they came vnto yt yron gate yt ledeth vnto the cyte which opened to them by his awne accorde. And they went out and passed thorowe one strete and by and by the angell departed fro him.
διελθοντες δε πρωτην φυλακην και δευτεραν ηλθαν επι την πυλην την σιδηραν την φερουσαν εις την πολιν ητις αυτοματη ηνοιγη αυτοις και εξελθοντες προηλθον ρυμην μιαν και ευθεως απεστη ο αγγελος απ αυτου
11 And when Peter was come to him selfe he sayde: now I knowe of a surety that the Lorde hath sent his angell and hath delyvered me out of the honde of Herode and from all the waytynge for of the people of ye Iewes.
και ο πετρος εν εαυτω γενομενος ειπεν νυν οιδα αληθως οτι εξαπεστειλεν {VAR1: ο } {VAR2: [ο] } κυριος τον αγγελον αυτου και εξειλατο με εκ χειρος ηρωδου και πασης της προσδοκιας του λαου των ιουδαιων
12 And as he consydred the thinge he cam to ye housse of Mary the mother of one Iohn which was called Marke also where many were gaddered to gedder in prayer.
συνιδων τε ηλθεν επι την οικιαν της μαριας της μητρος ιωαννου του επικαλουμενου μαρκου ου ησαν ικανοι συνηθροισμενοι και προσευχομενοι
13 As Peter knocked at the entry dore a damsell cam forth to herken named Rhoda.
κρουσαντος δε αυτου την θυραν του πυλωνος προσηλθεν παιδισκη υπακουσαι ονοματι ροδη
14 And when she knew Peters voyce she opened not the entrey for gladnes but ran in and told how Peter stode before the entrey.
και επιγνουσα την φωνην του πετρου απο της χαρας ουκ ηνοιξεν τον πυλωνα εισδραμουσα δε απηγγειλεν εσταναι τον πετρον προ του πυλωνος
15 And they sayde vnto her: thou arte mad. And she bare them doune yt it was even so. Then sayde they: it is his angell.
οι δε προς αυτην ειπαν μαινη η δε διισχυριζετο ουτως εχειν οι δε ελεγον ο αγγελος εστιν αυτου
16 Peter cotynued knockinge. When they had opened the dore and sawe him they were astonyed.
ο δε πετρος επεμενεν κρουων ανοιξαντες δε ειδαν αυτον και εξεστησαν
17 And he beckened vnto them with ye honde to holde their peace and tolde them by what meanes ye Lorde had brought him oute of the preson. And sayde: goo shew these thinges vnto Iames and to the brethren. And he departed and went into a nother place.
κατασεισας δε αυτοις τη χειρι σιγαν διηγησατο {VAR1: αυτοις } {VAR2: [αυτοις] } πως ο κυριος αυτον εξηγαγεν εκ της φυλακης ειπεν τε απαγγειλατε ιακωβω και τοις αδελφοις ταυτα και εξελθων επορευθη εις ετερον τοπον
18 Assone as it was daye ther was no lyttell a doo amoge the soudyers what was becum of Peter.
γενομενης δε ημερας ην ταραχος ουκ ολιγος εν τοις στρατιωταις τι αρα ο πετρος εγενετο
19 When Herode had called for him and founde him not he examined the kepers and comaunded to departe. And he descended from Iewry to Cesarea and ther abode.
ηρωδης δε επιζητησας αυτον και μη ευρων ανακρινας τους φυλακας εκελευσεν απαχθηναι και κατελθων απο της ιουδαιας εις καισαρειαν διετριβεν
20 Herode was displeased with them of Tyre and Sydon. And they came all at once and made intercession vnto Blastus the kynges chamberlen and desyred peace because their countrey was norysshed by the kynges londe.
ην δε θυμομαχων τυριοις και σιδωνιοις ομοθυμαδον δε παρησαν προς αυτον και πεισαντες βλαστον τον επι του κοιτωνος του βασιλεως ητουντο ειρηνην δια το τρεφεσθαι αυτων την χωραν απο της βασιλικης
21 And upon a daye appoynted Herode arayed him in royall apparell and set him in his seate and made an oraycon vnto them.
τακτη δε ημερα {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ηρωδης ενδυσαμενος εσθητα βασιλικην {VAR2: [και] } καθισας επι του βηματος εδημηγορει προς αυτους
22 And the people gave a shoute sayinge: it is ye voyce of a God and not of a man.
ο δε δημος επεφωνει θεου φωνη και ουκ ανθρωπου
23 And immediatly the angell of ye Lorde smote him because he gave not God the honoure and he was eatyn of wormes and gave vp the goost.
παραχρημα δε επαταξεν αυτον αγγελος κυριου ανθ ων ουκ εδωκεν την δοξαν τω θεω και γενομενος σκωληκοβρωτος εξεψυξεν
24 And ye worde of God grewe and multiplied.
ο δε λογος του {VAR1: κυριου } {VAR2: θεου } ηυξανεν και επληθυνετο
25 And Barnabas and Paul returned to Ierusalem when they had fulfilled their office and toke with them Iohn which was also called Marcus.
βαρναβας δε και σαυλος υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ πληρωσαντες την διακονιαν συμπαραλαβοντες ιωαννην τον επικληθεντα μαρκον
