< Acts 11 >

1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received 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 had come to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
και οτε ανεβη πετροσ εισ ιεροσολυμα διεκρινοντο προσ αυτον οι εκ περιτομησ
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
λεγοντεσ οτι προσ ανδρασ ακροβυστιαν εχοντασ εισηλθεσ και συνεφαγεσ αυτοισ
4 But Peter rehearsed [the matter] from the beginning, and expounded [it] by order to them, saying,
αρξαμενοσ δε ο πετροσ εξετιθετο αυτοισ καθεξησ λεγων
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to 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 Upon which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.
εισ ην ατενισασ κατενοουν και ειδον τα τετραποδα τησ γησ και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου
7 And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
ηκουσα δε φωνησ λεγουσησ μοι αναστασ πετρε θυσον και φαγε
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
ειπον δε μηδαμωσ κυριε οτι παν κοινον η ακαθαρτον ουδεποτε εισηλθεν εισ το στομα μου
9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
απεκριθη δε μοι φωνη εκ δευτερου εκ του ουρανου α ο θεοσ εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου
10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρισ και παλιν ανεσπασθη απαντα εισ τον ουρανον
11 And behold, immediately there were three men already come to the house where I was, sent from Cesarea to 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. Moreover, these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
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 showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is 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 tell thee words, by which thou and all thy house shall be saved.
οσ λαλησει ρηματα προσ σε εν οισ σωθηση συ και πασ ο οικοσ σου
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
εν δε τω αρξασθαι με λαλειν επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επ αυτουσ ωσπερ και εφ ημασ εν αρχη
16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
εμνησθην δε του ρηματοσ κυριου ωσ ελεγεν ιωαννησ μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεισ δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν πνευματι αγιω
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as [he did] to us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I that I 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 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance to life.
ακουσαντεσ δε ταυτα ησυχασαν και εδοξαζον τον θεον λεγοντεσ αρα γε και τοισ εθνεσιν ο θεοσ την μετανοιαν εδωκεν εισ ζωην
19 Now they who were dispersed upon the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but to the Jews only.
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 some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching 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 believed, and turned to the Lord.
και ην χειρ κυριου μετ αυτων πολυσ τε αριθμοσ πιστευσασ επεστρεψεν επι τον κυριον
22 Then tidings of these things came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go 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, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all that with purpose of heart they would cleave to the Lord.
οσ παραγενομενοσ και ιδων την χαριν του θεου εχαρη και παρεκαλει παντασ τη προθεσει τησ καρδιασ προσμενειν τω κυριω
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith: and many people were added to the Lord.
οτι ην ανηρ αγαθοσ και πληρησ πνευματοσ αγιου και πιστεωσ και προσετεθη οχλοσ ικανοσ τω κυριω
25 Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus, to seek Saul:
εξηλθεν δε εισ ταρσον ο βαρναβασ αναζητησαι σαυλον
26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
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 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch.
εν ταυταισ δε ταισ ημεραισ κατηλθον απο ιεροσολυμων προφηται εισ αντιοχειαν
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cesar.
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 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judea.
των δε μαθητων καθωσ ευπορειτο τισ ωρισαν εκαστοσ αυτων εισ διακονιαν πεμψαι τοισ κατοικουσιν εν τη ιουδαια αδελφοισ
30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
ο και εποιησαν αποστειλαντεσ προσ τουσ πρεσβυτερουσ δια χειροσ βαρναβα και σαυλου
