Πραξεις 12
1 κατ εκεινον δε τον καιρον επεβαλεν ηρωδης ο βασιλευς τας χειρας κακωσαι τινας των απο της εκκλησιας
Now about that time, Herod the king stretched forth [his] hands to afflict certain of the church.
2 ανειλεν δε ιακωβον τον αδελφον ιωαννου μαχαιρη
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 ιδων δε οτι αρεστον εστιν τοις ιουδαιοις προσεθετο συλλαβειν και πετρον ησαν δε {VAR2: [αι] } ημεραι των αζυμων
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. Then were the days of unleavened bread.
4 ον και πιασας εθετο εις φυλακην παραδους τεσσαρσιν τετραδιοις στρατιωτων φυλασσειν αυτον βουλομενος μετα το πασχα αναγαγειν αυτον τω λαω
And when he had apprehended him, he put [him] in prison, and delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.
5 ο μεν ουν πετρος ετηρειτο εν τη φυλακη προσευχη δε ην εκτενως γινομενη υπο της εκκλησιας προς τον θεον περι αυτου
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing by the church to God for him.
6 οτε δε ημελλεν {VAR1: προσαγαγειν } {VAR2: προαγαγειν } αυτον ο ηρωδης τη νυκτι εκεινη ην ο πετρος κοιμωμενος μεταξυ δυο στρατιωτων δεδεμενος αλυσεσιν δυσιν φυλακες τε προ της θυρας ετηρουν την φυλακην
And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7 και ιδου αγγελος κυριου επεστη και φως ελαμψεν εν τω οικηματι παταξας δε την πλευραν του πετρου ηγειρεν αυτον λεγων αναστα εν ταχει και εξεπεσαν αυτου αι αλυσεις εκ των χειρων
And behold, the angel of the Lord came upon [him], and a light shined in the prison; and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from [his] hands.
8 ειπεν δε ο αγγελος προς αυτον ζωσαι και υποδησαι τα σανδαλια σου εποιησεν δε ουτως και λεγει αυτω περιβαλου το ιματιον σου και ακολουθει μοι
And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals; and so he did. And he saith to him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 και εξελθων ηκολουθει και ουκ ηδει οτι αληθες εστιν το γινομενον δια του αγγελου εδοκει δε οραμα βλεπειν
And he went out, and followed him, and knew not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
10 διελθοντες δε πρωτην φυλακην και δευτεραν ηλθαν επι την πυλην την σιδηραν την φερουσαν εις την πολιν ητις αυτοματη ηνοιγη αυτοις και εξελθοντες προηλθον ρυμην μιαν και ευθεως απεστη ο αγγελος απ αυτου
When they were past the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
11 και ο πετρος εν εαυτω γενομενος ειπεν νυν οιδα αληθως οτι εξαπεστειλεν {VAR1: ο } {VAR2: [ο] } κυριος τον αγγελον αυτου και εξειλατο με εκ χειρος ηρωδου και πασης της προσδοκιας του λαου των ιουδαιων
And when Peter had come to himself, he said, Now I know with certainty, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and [from] all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 συνιδων τε ηλθεν επι την οικιαν της μαριας της μητρος ιωαννου του επικαλουμενου μαρκου ου ησαν ικανοι συνηθροισμενοι και προσευχομενοι
And when he had considered [the thing], he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were assembled, praying.
13 κρουσαντος δε αυτου την θυραν του πυλωνος προσηλθεν παιδισκη υπακουσαι ονοματι ροδη
And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14 και επιγνουσα την φωνην του πετρου απο της χαρας ουκ ηνοιξεν τον πυλωνα εισδραμουσα δε απηγγειλεν εσταναι τον πετρον προ του πυλωνος
And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate
15 οι δε προς αυτην ειπαν μαινη η δε διισχυριζετο ουτως εχειν οι δε ελεγον ο αγγελος εστιν αυτου
And they said to her, Thou art insane. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then they said, It is his angel.
16 ο δε πετρος επεμενεν κρουων ανοιξαντες δε ειδαν αυτον και εξεστησαν
But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened [the door], and saw him, they were astonished.
17 κατασεισας δε αυτοις τη χειρι σιγαν διηγησατο {VAR1: αυτοις } {VAR2: [αυτοις] } πως ο κυριος αυτον εξηγαγεν εκ της φυλακης ειπεν τε απαγγειλατε ιακωβω και τοις αδελφοις ταυτα και εξελθων επορευθη εις ετερον τοπον
But he beckoning to them with the hand to hold their peace, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, show these things to James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
18 γενομενης δε ημερας ην ταραχος ουκ ολιγος εν τοις στρατιωταις τι αρα ο πετρος εγενετο
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 ηρωδης δε επιζητησας αυτον και μη ευρων ανακρινας τους φυλακας εκελευσεν απαχθηναι και κατελθων απο της ιουδαιας εις καισαρειαν διετριβεν
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that [they] should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and [there] abode.
20 ην δε θυμομαχων τυριοις και σιδωνιοις ομοθυμαδον δε παρησαν προς αυτον και πεισαντες βλαστον τον επι του κοιτωνος του βασιλεως ητουντο ειρηνην δια το τρεφεσθαι αυτων την χωραν απο της βασιλικης
And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon. But they came with one accord to him, and having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace, because their country was nourished by the king's [country].
21 τακτη δε ημερα {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ηρωδης ενδυσαμενος εσθητα βασιλικην {VAR2: [και] } καθισας επι του βηματος εδημηγορει προς αυτους
And upon a set day, Herod arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration to them.
22 ο δε δημος επεφωνει θεου φωνη και ουκ ανθρωπου
And the people gave a shout, [saying], [It is] the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 παραχρημα δε επαταξεν αυτον αγγελος κυριου ανθ ων ουκ εδωκεν την δοξαν τω θεω και γενομενος σκωληκοβρωτος εξεψυξεν
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten by worms, and died.
24 ο δε λογος του {VAR1: κυριου } {VAR2: θεου } ηυξανεν και επληθυνετο
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 βαρναβας δε και σαυλος υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ πληρωσαντες την διακονιαν συμπαραλαβοντες ιωαννην τον επικληθεντα μαρκον
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled [their] ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
