Πραξεις 1
1 τον μεν πρωτον λογον εποιησαμην περι παντων ω θεοφιλε ων ηρξατο {VAR2: ο } ιησους ποιειν τε και διδασκειν
The former treatise, O Theophilus, I made concerning all that Jesus undertook both to do and to teach;
2 αχρι ης ημερας εντειλαμενος τοις αποστολοις δια πνευματος αγιου ους εξελεξατο ανελημφθη
till the day in which He was taken up, after He had by the holy Spirit given instructions to the apostles whom He had chosen:
3 οις και παρεστησεν εαυτον ζωντα μετα το παθειν αυτον εν πολλοις τεκμηριοις δι ημερων τεσσερακοντα οπτανομενος αυτοις και λεγων τα περι της βασιλειας του θεου
to whom also He presented Himself alive, after He had suffered, by many certain proofs; being seen among them for forty days, and speaking of the things relating to the kingdom of God.
4 και συναλιζομενος παρηγγειλεν αυτοις απο ιεροσολυμων μη χωριζεσθαι αλλα περιμενειν την επαγγελιαν του πατρος ην ηκουσατε μου
And meeting them together He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said He, ye have heard from me;
5 οτι ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεις δε εν πνευματι βαπτισθησεσθε αγιω ου μετα πολλας ταυτας ημερας
for John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall within a few days be baptized with the holy Spirit.
6 οι μεν ουν συνελθοντες ηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες κυριε ει εν τω χρονω τουτω αποκαθιστανεις την βασιλειαν τω ισραηλ
Being therefore come together they asked Him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 ειπεν {VAR2: δε } προς αυτους ουχ υμων εστιν γνωναι χρονους η καιρους ους ο πατηρ εθετο εν τη ιδια εξουσια
And He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or seasons, which the Father hath reserved in his own power.
8 αλλα λημψεσθε δυναμιν επελθοντος του αγιου πνευματος εφ υμας και εσεσθε μου μαρτυρες εν τε ιερουσαλημ και [εν] παση τη ιουδαια και σαμαρεια και εως εσχατου της γης
But ye shall receive power from the holy Spirit coming upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
9 και ταυτα ειπων βλεποντων αυτων επηρθη και νεφελη υπελαβεν αυτον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων
And having said these things, as they were looking upon Him, He was lifted up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
10 και ως ατενιζοντες ησαν εις τον ουρανον πορευομενου αυτου και ιδου ανδρες δυο παρειστηκεισαν αυτοις εν εσθησεσιν λευκαις
And while they were looking stedfastly toward heaven, as He went up, behold two men in white stood by them;
11 οι και ειπαν ανδρες γαλιλαιοι τι εστηκατε {VAR1: βλεποντες } {VAR2: (εμβλεποντες) } εις τον ουρανον ουτος ο ιησους ο αναλημφθεις αφ υμων εις τον ουρανον ουτως ελευσεται ον τροπον εθεασασθε αυτον πορευομενον εις τον ουρανον
who said, Ye men of Galilee, why do ye stand gazing up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in the manner ye have seen Him going into heaven.
12 τοτε υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ απο ορους του καλουμενου ελαιωνος ο εστιν εγγυς ιερουσαλημ σαββατου εχον οδον
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath-day's journey.
13 και οτε εισηλθον εις το υπερωον ανεβησαν ου ησαν καταμενοντες ο τε πετρος και ιωαννης και ιακωβος και ανδρεας φιλιππος και θωμας βαρθολομαιος και μαθθαιος ιακωβος αλφαιου και σιμων ο ζηλωτης και ιουδας ιακωβου
And when they were come in to the city, they went up into an upper room, where Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude the brother of James, usually abode.
14 ουτοι παντες ησαν προσκαρτερουντες ομοθυμαδον τη προσευχη συν γυναιξιν και μαριαμ τη μητρι {VAR1: [του] {VAR1: του } {VAR2: ιησου και } συν } τοις αδελφοις αυτου
These all persevered with one accord in prayer and supplication with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brethren.
15 και εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις αναστας πετρος εν μεσω των αδελφων ειπεν ην τε οχλος ονοματων επι το αυτο {VAR1: ως } {VAR2: ωσει } εκατον εικοσι
And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, (now the number of the persons that were together was about an hundred and twenty, )
16 ανδρες αδελφοι εδει πληρωθηναι την γραφην ην προειπεν το πνευμα το αγιον δια στοματος δαυιδ περι ιουδα του γενομενου οδηγου τοις συλλαβουσιν ιησουν
and said, Men and brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the holy Ghost spake by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus:
17 οτι κατηριθμημενος ην εν ημιν και ελαχεν τον κληρον της διακονιας ταυτης
for he was numbered with us, and had obtained a part of this ministry.
18 ουτος μεν ουν εκτησατο χωριον εκ μισθου της αδικιας και πρηνης γενομενος ελακησεν μεσος και εξεχυθη παντα τα σπλαγχνα αυτου
(Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling down on his face, burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out:
19 και γνωστον εγενετο πασιν τοις κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ ωστε κληθηναι το χωριον εκεινο τη {VAR2: ιδια } διαλεκτω αυτων ακελδαμαχ τουτ εστιν χωριον αιματος
(and it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, the field of blood: )
20 γεγραπται γαρ εν βιβλω ψαλμων γενηθητω η επαυλις αυτου ερημος και μη εστω ο κατοικων εν αυτη και την επισκοπην αυτου λαβετω ετερος
for it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let none dwell in it; and again, Let another take his office.)
21 δει ουν των συνελθοντων ημιν ανδρων εν παντι χρονω ω εισηλθεν και εξηλθεν εφ ημας ο κυριος ιησους
Wherefore it is necessary that one of these men, who have been conversant with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and out among us,
22 αρξαμενος απο του βαπτισματος ιωαννου εως της ημερας ης ανελημφθη αφ ημων μαρτυρα της αναστασεως αυτου συν ημιν γενεσθαι ενα τουτων
from the baptism of John, till the day that He was taken up from us, should be joined with us as a witness of his resurrection.
23 και εστησαν δυο ιωσηφ τον καλουμενον βαρσαββαν ος επεκληθη ιουστος και μαθθιαν
And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 και προσευξαμενοι ειπαν συ κυριε καρδιογνωστα παντων αναδειξον ον εξελεξω εκ τουτων των δυο ενα
And they prayed and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, shew us, which of these two Thou hast chosen,
25 λαβειν τον τοπον της διακονιας ταυτης και αποστολης αφ ης παρεβη ιουδας πορευθηναι εις τον τοπον τον ιδιον
to take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas is fallen by his transgression, that he might go to his own place.
26 και εδωκαν κληρους αυτοις και επεσεν ο κληρος επι μαθθιαν και συγκατεψηφισθη μετα των ενδεκα αποστολων
And they gave out their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the apostles.
