Πραξεις 11

1 ηκουσαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι αδελφοι οι οντες κατα την ιουδαιαν οτι και τα εθνη εδεξαντο τον λογον του θεου

But the apostles and brethren being throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also received the word of God.

2 οτε δε ανεβη πετρος εις ιερουσαλημ διεκρινοντο προς αυτον οι εκ περιτομης

And when Peter went tip to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision interviewed him, say

3 λεγοντες οτι {VAR1: εισηλθεν } {VAR2: εισηλθες } προς ανδρας ακροβυστιαν εχοντας και {VAR1: συνεφαγεν } {VAR2: συνεφαγες } αυτοις

that, You went in unto men having uncircumcision, and ate with them.

4 αρξαμενος δε πετρος εξετιθετο αυτοις καθεξης λεγων

And Peter beginning expounded unto them consecutively, saying,

5 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 αχρις εμου

I was praying in the city Joppa: and I saw a vision in an ecstasy, A certain vessel, like a great sheet, descending from the heaven, sitting down by four rope ends; and came even unto me:

6 εις ην ατενισας κατενοουν και ειδον τα τετραποδα της γης και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου

into which looking, I was investigating, and I saw quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and the birds of the heaven.

7 ηκουσα δε και φωνης λεγουσης μοι αναστας πετρε θυσον και φαγε

And I also heard a voice saying to me, Arising, Peter; slay and eat.

8 ειπον δε μηδαμως κυριε οτι κοινον η ακαθαρτον ουδεποτε εισηλθεν εις το στομα μου

And I said, By no means, Lord: because nothing unconsecrated or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.

9 απεκριθη δε {VAR1: εκ δευτερου φωνη } {VAR2: φωνη εκ δευτερου } εκ του ουρανου α ο θεος εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου

And a voice a second time was heard from heaven, Whatsoever things God has cleansed, consider thou not unconsecrated.

10 τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρις και ανεσπασθη παλιν απαντα εις τον ουρανον

And this took place three times: and all things were again taken up into the heaven.

11 και ιδου εξαυτης τρεις ανδρες επεστησαν επι την οικιαν εν η ημεν απεσταλμενοι απο καισαρειας προς με

And, behold, immediately three men were standing at the house in which we were, having been sent to me from Cornelius.

12 ειπεν δε το πνευμα μοι συνελθειν αυτοις μηδεν διακριναντα ηλθον δε συν εμοι και οι εξ αδελφοι ουτοι και εισηλθομεν εις τον οικον του ανδρος

And the Spirit said to me, to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brethren went along with me, and we entered into the house of the man.

13 απηγγειλεν δε ημιν πως ειδεν {VAR1: τον } {VAR2: [τον] } αγγελον εν τω οικω αυτου σταθεντα και ειποντα αποστειλον εις ιοππην και μεταπεμψαι σιμωνα τον επικαλουμενον πετρον

And he proclaimed to us how he saw an angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is called Peter;

14 ος λαλησει ρηματα προς σε εν οις σωθηση συ και πας ο οικος σου

who will speak words to you, by which you and your whole family may be saved.

15 εν δε τω αρξασθαι με λαλειν επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επ αυτους ωσπερ και εφ ημας εν αρχη

And when I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

16 εμνησθην δε του ρηματος του κυριου ως ελεγεν ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεις δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν πνευματι αγιω

And I remembered the word of the Lord, as He said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

17 ει ουν την ισην δωρεαν εδωκεν αυτοις ο θεος ως και ημιν πιστευσασιν επι τον κυριον ιησουν χριστον εγω τις ημην δυνατος κωλυσαι τον θεον

Since then God gave unto them the equal gift, as also unto us, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, to be able to resist God?

18 ακουσαντες δε ταυτα ησυχασαν και εδοξασαν τον θεον λεγοντες αρα και τοις εθνεσιν ο θεος την μετανοιαν εις ζωην εδωκεν

And hearing these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then God has also given unto the Gentiles repentance unto life.

19 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

Then indeed those having been dispersed abroad on account of the persecution prevailing over Stephen came through even to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews only.

20 ησαν δε τινες εξ αυτων ανδρες κυπριοι και κυρηναιοι οιτινες ελθοντες εις αντιοχειαν ελαλουν και προς τους ελληνιστας ευαγγελιζομενοι τον κυριον ιησουν

And of them there were certain Cyprian and Cyrenean men, who, having come into Antioch, were speaking to the Greeks also, preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus.

21 και ην χειρ κυριου μετ αυτων πολυς τε αριθμος ο πιστευσας επεστρεψεν επι τον κυριον

And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number having believed, turned to the Lord.

22 ηκουσθη δε ο λογος εις τα ωτα της εκκλησιας της ουσης εν ιερουσαλημ περι αυτων και εξαπεστειλαν βαρναβαν {VAR2: [διελθειν] } εως αντιοχειας

And the word was heard in the ears of the church in Jerusalem concerning them: and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

23 ος παραγενομενος και ιδων την χαριν {VAR1: την } {VAR2: [την] } του θεου εχαρη και παρεκαλει παντας τη προθεσει της καρδιας προσμενειν {VAR1: [εν] } τω κυριω

Who, coming, and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and continued to exhort all, with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord:

24 οτι ην ανηρ αγαθος και πληρης πνευματος αγιου και πιστεως και προσετεθη οχλος ικανος τω κυριω

because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.

25 εξηλθεν δε εις ταρσον αναζητησαι σαυλον

And he went away to Tarsus, to hunt up Saul: and having found him, led him to Antioch.

26 και ευρων ηγαγεν εις αντιοχειαν εγενετο δε αυτοις και ενιαυτον ολον συναχθηναι εν τη εκκλησια και διδαξαι οχλον ικανον χρηματισαι τε πρωτως εν αντιοχεια τους μαθητας χριστιανους

And it happened unto them, a whole year indeed they assembled in the church, and taught a great multitude: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

27 εν ταυταις δε ταις ημεραις κατηλθον απο ιεροσολυμων προφηται εις αντιοχειαν

And during those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28 αναστας δε εις εξ αυτων ονοματι αγαβος {VAR1: εσημαινεν } {VAR2: εσημανεν } δια του πνευματος λιμον μεγαλην μελλειν εσεσθαι εφ ολην την οικουμενην ητις εγενετο επι κλαυδιου

And one of them by name Agabus, standing up, signified through the Spirit that there is about to be a great famine throughout the whole world: which took place under the reign of Claudius.

29 των δε μαθητων καθως ευπορειτο τις ωρισαν εκαστος αυτων εις διακονιαν πεμψαι τοις κατοικουσιν εν τη ιουδαια αδελφοις

And they determined that each one of them should send to the ministry to the brethren dwelling in Judea, as each one of the disciples was prosperous;

30 ο και εποιησαν αποστειλαντες προς τους πρεσβυτερους δια χειρος βαρναβα και σαυλου

and this they did, sending to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
