Acts 10
1 And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a band called Italian,
ανηρ δε τισ ην εν καισαρεια ονοματι κορνηλιοσ εκατονταρχησ εκ σπειρησ τησ καλουμενησ ιταλικησ
2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always,
ευσεβησ και φοβουμενοσ τον θεον συν παντι τω οικω αυτου ποιων τε ελεημοσυνασ πολλασ τω λαω και δεομενοσ του θεου δια παντοσ
3 he saw in a vision manifestly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, 'Cornelius;'
ειδεν εν οραματι φανερωσ ωσει ωραν ενατην τησ ημερασ αγγελον του θεου εισελθοντα προσ αυτον και ειποντα αυτω κορνηλιε
4 and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, 'What is it, Lord?' And he said to him, 'Thy prayers and thy kind acts came up for a memorial before God,
ο δε ατενισασ αυτω και εμφοβοσ γενομενοσ ειπεν τι εστιν κυριε ειπεν δε αυτω αι προσευχαι σου και αι ελεημοσυναι σου ανεβησαν εισ μνημοσυνον ενωπιον του θεου
5 and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
και νυν πεμψον εισ ιοππην ανδρασ και μεταπεμψαι σιμωνα τον επικαλουμενον πετρον
6 this one doth lodge with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one shall speak to thee what it behoveth thee to do.'
ουτοσ ξενιζεται παρα τινι σιμωνι βυρσει ω εστιν οικια παρα θαλασσαν
7 And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,
ωσ δε απηλθεν ο αγγελοσ ο λαλων τω κορνηλιω φωνησασ δυο των οικετων αυτου και στρατιωτην ευσεβη των προσκαρτερουντων αυτω
8 and having declared to them all things, he sent them to Joppa.
και εξηγησαμενοσ αυτοισ απαντα απεστειλεν αυτουσ εισ την ιοππην
9 And on the morrow, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour,
τη δε επαυριον οδοιπορουντων εκεινων και τη πολει εγγιζοντων ανεβη πετροσ επι το δωμα προσευξασθαι περι ωραν εκτην
10 and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell upon him a trance,
εγενετο δε προσπεινοσ και ηθελεν γευσασθαι παρασκευαζοντων δε εκεινων επεπεσεν επ αυτον εκστασισ
11 and he doth behold the heaven opened, and descending unto him a certain vessel, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down upon the earth,
και θεωρει τον ουρανον ανεωγμενον και καταβαινον επ αυτον σκευοσ τι ωσ οθονην μεγαλην τεσσαρσιν αρχαισ δεδεμενον και καθιεμενον επι τησ γησ
12 in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven,
εν ω υπηρχεν παντα τα τετραποδα τησ γησ και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου
13 and there came a voice unto him: 'Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.'
και εγενετο φωνη προσ αυτον αναστασ πετρε θυσον και φαγε
14 And Peter said, 'Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;'
ο δε πετροσ ειπεν μηδαμωσ κυριε οτι ουδεποτε εφαγον παν κοινον η ακαθαρτον
15 and [there is] a voice again a second time unto him: 'What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;'
και φωνη παλιν εκ δευτερου προσ αυτον α ο θεοσ εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου
16 and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel received up to the heaven.
τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρισ και παλιν ανεληφθη το σκευοσ εισ τον ουρανον
17 And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, lo, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
ωσ δε εν εαυτω διηπορει ο πετροσ τι αν ειη το οραμα ο ειδεν και ιδου οι ανδρεσ οι απεσταλμενοι απο του κορνηλιου διερωτησαντεσ την οικιαν σιμωνοσ επεστησαν επι τον πυλωνα
18 and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, doth lodge here?
και φωνησαντεσ επυνθανοντο ει σιμων ο επικαλουμενοσ πετροσ ενθαδε ξενιζεται
19 And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, 'Lo, three men do seek thee;
του δε πετρου διενθυμουμενου περι του οραματοσ ειπεν αυτω το πνευμα ιδου ανδρεσ ζητουσιν σε
20 but having risen, go down and go on with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them;'
αλλα αναστασ καταβηθι και πορευου συν αυτοισ μηδεν διακρινομενοσ διοτι εγω απεσταλκα αυτουσ
21 and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him, said, 'Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what [is] the cause for which ye are present?'
καταβασ δε πετροσ προσ τουσ ανδρασ ειπεν ιδου εγω ειμι ον ζητειτε τισ η αιτια δι ην παρεστε
22 And they said, 'Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for thee, to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.'
οι δε ειπον κορνηλιοσ εκατονταρχησ ανηρ δικαιοσ και φοβουμενοσ τον θεον μαρτυρουμενοσ τε υπο ολου του εθνουσ των ιουδαιων εχρηματισθη υπο αγγελου αγιου μεταπεμψασθαι σε εισ τον οικον αυτου και ακουσαι ρηματα παρα σου
23 Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him,
εισκαλεσαμενοσ ουν αυτουσ εξενισεν τη δε επαυριον ο πετροσ εξηλθεν συν αυτοισ και τινεσ των αδελφων των απο ιοππησ συνηλθον αυτω
24 and on the morrow they did enter into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kindred and near friends,
και τη επαυριον εισηλθον εισ την καισαρειαν ο δε κορνηλιοσ ην προσδοκων αυτουσ συγκαλεσαμενοσ τουσ συγγενεισ αυτου και τουσ αναγκαιουσ φιλουσ
25 and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, did bow before [him];
ωσ δε εγενετο του εισελθειν τον πετρον συναντησασ αυτω ο κορνηλιοσ πεσων επι τουσ ποδασ προσεκυνησεν
26 and Peter raised him, saying, 'Stand up; I also myself am a man;'
ο δε πετροσ αυτον ηγειρεν λεγων αναστηθι καγω αυτοσ ανθρωποσ ειμι
27 and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having come together.
και συνομιλων αυτω εισηλθεν και ευρισκει συνεληλυθοτασ πολλουσ
28 And he said unto them, 'Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean;
εφη τε προσ αυτουσ υμεισ επιστασθε ωσ αθεμιτον εστιν ανδρι ιουδαιω κολλασθαι η προσερχεσθαι αλλοφυλω και εμοι ο θεοσ εδειξεν μηδενα κοινον η ακαθαρτον λεγειν ανθρωπον
29 therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?'
διο και αναντιρρητωσ ηλθον μεταπεμφθεισ πυνθανομαι ουν τινι λογω μετεπεμψασθε με
30 And Cornelius said, 'Four days ago till this hour, I was fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and, lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
και ο κορνηλιοσ εφη απο τεταρτησ ημερασ μεχρι ταυτησ τησ ωρασ ημην νηστευων και την ενατην ωραν προσευχομενοσ εν τω οικω μου και ιδου ανηρ εστη ενωπιον μου εν εσθητι λαμπρα
31 and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind acts were remembered before God;
και φησιν κορνηλιε εισηκουσθη σου η προσευχη και αι ελεημοσυναι σου εμνησθησαν ενωπιον του θεου
32 send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee;
πεμψον ουν εισ ιοππην και μετακαλεσαι σιμωνα οσ επικαλειται πετροσ ουτοσ ξενιζεται εν οικια σιμωνοσ βυρσεωσ παρα θαλασσαν οσ παραγενομενοσ λαλησει σοι
33 at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God.'
εξαυτησ ουν επεμψα προσ σε συ τε καλωσ εποιησασ παραγενομενοσ νυν ουν παντεσ ημεισ ενωπιον του θεου παρεσμεν ακουσαι παντα τα προστεταγμενα σοι υπο του θεου
34 And Peter having opened his mouth, said, 'Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,
ανοιξασ δε πετροσ το στομα ειπεν επ αληθειασ καταλαμβανομαι οτι ουκ εστιν προσωποληπτησ ο θεοσ
35 but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
αλλ εν παντι εθνει ο φοβουμενοσ αυτον και εργαζομενοσ δικαιοσυνην δεκτοσ αυτω εστιν
36 the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news — peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all, )
τον λογον ον απεστειλεν τοισ υιοισ ισραηλ ευαγγελιζομενοσ ειρηνην δια ιησου χριστου ουτοσ εστιν παντων κυριοσ
37 ye — ye have known; — the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached;
υμεισ οιδατε το γενομενον ρημα καθ ολησ τησ ιουδαιασ αρξαμενον απο τησ γαλιλαιασ μετα το βαπτισμα ο εκηρυξεν ιωαννησ
38 Jesus who [is] from Nazareth — how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him;
ιησουν τον απο ναζαρετ ωσ εχρισεν αυτον ο θεοσ πνευματι αγιω και δυναμει οσ διηλθεν ευεργετων και ιωμενοσ παντασ τουσ καταδυναστευομενουσ υπο του διαβολου οτι ο θεοσ ην μετ αυτου
39 and we — we are witnesses of all things that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, — whom they did slay, having hanged upon a tree.
και ημεισ εσμεν μαρτυρεσ παντων ων εποιησεν εν τε τη χωρα των ιουδαιων και εν ιερουσαλημ ον και ανειλον κρεμασαντεσ επι ξυλου
40 'This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest,
τουτον ο θεοσ ηγειρεν τη τριτη ημερα και εδωκεν αυτον εμφανη γενεσθαι
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God — to us who did eat with [him], and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead;
ου παντι τω λαω αλλα μαρτυσιν τοισ προκεχειροτονημενοισ υπο του θεου ημιν οιτινεσ συνεφαγομεν και συνεπιομεν αυτω μετα το αναστηναι αυτον εκ νεκρων
42 and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead —
και παρηγγειλεν ημιν κηρυξαι τω λαω και διαμαρτυρασθαι οτι αυτοσ εστιν ο ωρισμενοσ υπο του θεου κριτησ ζωντων και νεκρων
43 to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'
τουτω παντεσ οι προφηται μαρτυρουσιν αφεσιν αμαρτιων λαβειν δια του ονοματοσ αυτου παντα τον πιστευοντα εισ αυτον
44 While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word,
ετι λαλουντοσ του πετρου τα ρηματα ταυτα επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επι παντασ τουσ ακουοντασ τον λογον
45 and those of the circumcision believing were astonished — as many as came with Peter — because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out,
και εξεστησαν οι εκ περιτομησ πιστοι οσοι συνηλθον τω πετρω οτι και επι τα εθνη η δωρεα του αγιου πνευματοσ εκκεχυται
46 for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
ηκουον γαρ αυτων λαλουντων γλωσσαισ και μεγαλυνοντων τον θεον τοτε απεκριθη ο πετροσ
47 Then answered Peter, 'The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive — even as also we?'
μητι το υδωρ κωλυσαι δυναται τισ του μη βαπτισθηναι τουτουσ οιτινεσ το πνευμα το αγιον ελαβον καθωσ και ημεισ
48 he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days.
προσεταξεν τε αυτουσ βαπτισθηναι εν τω ονοματι του κυριου τοτε ηρωτησαν αυτον επιμειναι ημερασ τινασ
