Acts 11

1 And the apostles and the brethren who are in Judea heard that also the nations did receive 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 to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him,

και οτε ανεβη πετροσ εισ ιεροσολυμα διεκρινοντο προσ αυτον οι εκ περιτομησ

3 saying — 'Unto men uncircumcised thou didst go in, and didst eat with them!'

λεγοντεσ οτι προσ ανδρασ ακροβυστιαν εχοντασ εισηλθεσ και συνεφαγεσ αυτοισ

4 And Peter having begun, did expound to them in order saying,

αρξαμενοσ δε ο πετροσ εξετιθετο αυτοισ καθεξησ λεγων

5 'I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came 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 at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven;

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, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;

ηκουσα δε φωνησ λεγουσησ μοι αναστασ πετρε θυσον και φαγε

8 and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean 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 did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou — declare not thou common.

απεκριθη δε μοι φωνη εκ δευτερου εκ του ουρανου α ο θεοσ εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου

10 'And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the heaven,

τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρισ και παλιν ανεσπασθη απαντα εισ τον ουρανον

11 and, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been 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 said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter 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 he declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for 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 sayings by which thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

οσ λαλησει ρηματα προσ σε εν οισ σωθηση συ και πασ ο οικοσ σου

15 'And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning,

εν δε τω αρξασθαι με λαλειν επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επ αυτουσ ωσπερ και εφ ημασ εν αρχη

16 and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and 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 if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I — how was I able to 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 they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, 'Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'

ακουσαντεσ δε ταυτα ησυχασαν και εδοξαζον τον θεον λεγοντεσ αρα γε και τοισ εθνεσιν ο θεοσ την μετανοιαν εδωκεν εισ ζωην

19 Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through unto Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to 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 there were certain of them men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking unto the Hellenists, proclaiming good news — 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, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord.

και ην χειρ κυριου μετ αυτων πολυσ τε αριθμοσ πιστευσασ επεστρεψεν επι τον κυριον

22 And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through unto Antioch,

ηκουσθη δε ο λογοσ εισ τα ωτα τησ εκκλησιασ τησ εν ιεροσολυμοισ περι αυτων και εξαπεστειλαν βαρναβαν διελθειν εωσ αντιοχειασ

23 who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to 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 the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord.

οτι ην ανηρ αγαθοσ και πληρησ πνευματοσ αγιου και πιστεωσ και προσετεθη οχλοσ ικανοσ τω κυριω

25 And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,

εξηλθεν δε εισ ταρσον ο βαρναβασ αναζητησαι σαυλον

26 and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they a whole year did assemble together in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, the disciples also were divinely called first in Antioch 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 And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,

εν ταυταισ δε ταισ ημεραισ κατηλθον απο ιεροσολυμων προφηται εισ αντιοχειαν

28 and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world — which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar —

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 the disciples, according as any one was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministration to the brethren dwelling 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, having sent unto the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

ο και εποιησαν αποστειλαντεσ προσ τουσ πρεσβυτερουσ δια χειροσ βαρναβα και σαυλου
