Πραξεις 11

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

And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word (logos) of God.

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

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

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

Saying, You went in to men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.

4 αρξαμενος δε πετρος εξετιθετο αυτοις καθεξης λεγων

But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, 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 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:

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

Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

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

And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

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

But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean has at any time 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

But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God has cleansed, that call not you common.

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

And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

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

And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

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 (pneuma) bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

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 showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

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

Who shall tell you words, (rhema) whereby you and all your house shall be saved.

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

And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit (pneuma) 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

Then remembered I the word (rhema) of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but all of you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)

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

Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

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

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then has God also to the Gentiles granted 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

Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word (logos) to none but unto the 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 some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spoke unto the Grecians, preaching 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 believed, and turned unto 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

Then tidings (logos) of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as 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, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

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

For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit (pneuma) and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

25 εξηλθεν δε εις ταρσον αναζητησαι σαυλον

Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, in order to seek Saul:

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 when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

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

And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto 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 there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit (pneuma) that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

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

Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:

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

Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
