Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
ανηρ δε τισ ην εν καισαρεια ονοματι κορνηλιοσ εκατονταρχησ εκ σπειρησ τησ καλουμενησ ιταλικησ
2 a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
ευσεβησ και φοβουμενοσ τον θεον συν παντι τω οικω αυτου ποιων τε ελεημοσυνασ πολλασ τω λαω και δεομενοσ του θεου δια παντοσ
3 At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
ειδεν εν οραματι φανερωσ ωσει ωραν ενατην τησ ημερασ αγγελον του θεου εισελθοντα προσ αυτον και ειποντα αυτω κορνηλιε
4 He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
ο δε ατενισασ αυτω και εμφοβοσ γενομενοσ ειπεν τι εστιν κυριε ειπεν δε αυτω αι προσευχαι σου και αι ελεημοσυναι σου ανεβησαν εισ μνημοσυνον ενωπιον του θεου
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
και νυν πεμψον εισ ιοππην ανδρασ και μεταπεμψαι σιμωνα τον επικαλουμενον πετρον
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
ουτοσ ξενιζεται παρα τινι σιμωνι βυρσει ω εστιν οικια παρα θαλασσαν
7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
ωσ δε απηλθεν ο αγγελοσ ο λαλων τω κορνηλιω φωνησασ δυο των οικετων αυτου και στρατιωτην ευσεβη των προσκαρτερουντων αυτω
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
και εξηγησαμενοσ αυτοισ απαντα απεστειλεν αυτουσ εισ την ιοππην
9 Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
τη δε επαυριον οδοιπορουντων εκεινων και τη πολει εγγιζοντων ανεβη πετροσ επι το δωμα προσευξασθαι περι ωραν εκτην
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
εγενετο δε προσπεινοσ και ηθελεν γευσασθαι παρασκευαζοντων δε εκεινων επεπεσεν επ αυτον εκστασισ
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
και θεωρει τον ουρανον ανεωγμενον και καταβαινον επ αυτον σκευοσ τι ωσ οθονην μεγαλην τεσσαρσιν αρχαισ δεδεμενον και καθιεμενον επι τησ γησ
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
εν ω υπηρχεν παντα τα τετραποδα τησ γησ και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
και εγενετο φωνη προσ αυτον αναστασ πετρε θυσον και φαγε
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
ο δε πετροσ ειπεν μηδαμωσ κυριε οτι ουδεποτε εφαγον παν κοινον η ακαθαρτον
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
και φωνη παλιν εκ δευτερου προσ αυτον α ο θεοσ εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρισ και παλιν ανεληφθη το σκευοσ εισ τον ουρανον
17 Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
ωσ δε εν εαυτω διηπορει ο πετροσ τι αν ειη το οραμα ο ειδεν και ιδου οι ανδρεσ οι απεσταλμενοι απο του κορνηλιου διερωτησαντεσ την οικιαν σιμωνοσ επεστησαν επι τον πυλωνα
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
και φωνησαντεσ επυνθανοντο ει σιμων ο επικαλουμενοσ πετροσ ενθαδε ξενιζεται
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
του δε πετρου διενθυμουμενου περι του οραματοσ ειπεν αυτω το πνευμα ιδου ανδρεσ ζητουσιν σε
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
αλλα αναστασ καταβηθι και πορευου συν αυτοισ μηδεν διακρινομενοσ διοτι εγω απεσταλκα αυτουσ
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
καταβασ δε πετροσ προσ τουσ ανδρασ ειπεν ιδου εγω ειμι ον ζητειτε τισ η αιτια δι ην παρεστε
22 They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
οι δε ειπον κορνηλιοσ εκατονταρχησ ανηρ δικαιοσ και φοβουμενοσ τον θεον μαρτυρουμενοσ τε υπο ολου του εθνουσ των ιουδαιων εχρηματισθη υπο αγγελου αγιου μεταπεμψασθαι σε εισ τον οικον αυτου και ακουσαι ρηματα παρα σου
23 So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
εισκαλεσαμενοσ ουν αυτουσ εξενισεν τη δε επαυριον ο πετροσ εξηλθεν συν αυτοισ και τινεσ των αδελφων των απο ιοππησ συνηλθον αυτω
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
και τη επαυριον εισηλθον εισ την καισαρειαν ο δε κορνηλιοσ ην προσδοκων αυτουσ συγκαλεσαμενοσ τουσ συγγενεισ αυτου και τουσ αναγκαιουσ φιλουσ
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
ωσ δε εγενετο του εισελθειν τον πετρον συναντησασ αυτω ο κορνηλιοσ πεσων επι τουσ ποδασ προσεκυνησεν
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
ο δε πετροσ αυτον ηγειρεν λεγων αναστηθι καγω αυτοσ ανθρωποσ ειμι
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
και συνομιλων αυτω εισηλθεν και ευρισκει συνεληλυθοτασ πολλουσ
28 He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.
εφη τε προσ αυτουσ υμεισ επιστασθε ωσ αθεμιτον εστιν ανδρι ιουδαιω κολλασθαι η προσερχεσθαι αλλοφυλω και εμοι ο θεοσ εδειξεν μηδενα κοινον η ακαθαρτον λεγειν ανθρωπον
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
διο και αναντιρρητωσ ηλθον μεταπεμφθεισ πυνθανομαι ουν τινι λογω μετεπεμψασθε με
30 Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
και ο κορνηλιοσ εφη απο τεταρτησ ημερασ μεχρι ταυτησ τησ ωρασ ημην νηστευων και την ενατην ωραν προσευχομενοσ εν τω οικω μου και ιδου ανηρ εστη ενωπιον μου εν εσθητι λαμπρα
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
και φησιν κορνηλιε εισηκουσθη σου η προσευχη και αι ελεημοσυναι σου εμνησθησαν ενωπιον του θεου
32 Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
πεμψον ουν εισ ιοππην και μετακαλεσαι σιμωνα οσ επικαλειται πετροσ ουτοσ ξενιζεται εν οικια σιμωνοσ βυρσεωσ παρα θαλασσαν οσ παραγενομενοσ λαλησει σοι
33 Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
εξαυτησ ουν επεμψα προσ σε συ τε καλωσ εποιησασ παραγενομενοσ νυν ουν παντεσ ημεισ ενωπιον του θεου παρεσμεν ακουσαι παντα τα προστεταγμενα σοι υπο του θεου
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
ανοιξασ δε πετροσ το στομα ειπεν επ αληθειασ καταλαμβανομαι οτι ουκ εστιν προσωποληπτησ ο θεοσ
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
αλλ εν παντι εθνει ο φοβουμενοσ αυτον και εργαζομενοσ δικαιοσυνην δεκτοσ αυτω εστιν
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
τον λογον ον απεστειλεν τοισ υιοισ ισραηλ ευαγγελιζομενοσ ειρηνην δια ιησου χριστου ουτοσ εστιν παντων κυριοσ
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
υμεισ οιδατε το γενομενον ρημα καθ ολησ τησ ιουδαιασ αρξαμενον απο τησ γαλιλαιασ μετα το βαπτισμα ο εκηρυξεν ιωαννησ
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
ιησουν τον απο ναζαρετ ωσ εχρισεν αυτον ο θεοσ πνευματι αγιω και δυναμει οσ διηλθεν ευεργετων και ιωμενοσ παντασ τουσ καταδυναστευομενουσ υπο του διαβολου οτι ο θεοσ ην μετ αυτου
39 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
και ημεισ εσμεν μαρτυρεσ παντων ων εποιησεν εν τε τη χωρα των ιουδαιων και εν ιερουσαλημ ον και ανειλον κρεμασαντεσ επι ξυλου
40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
τουτον ο θεοσ ηγειρεν τη τριτη ημερα και εδωκεν αυτον εμφανη γενεσθαι
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
ου παντι τω λαω αλλα μαρτυσιν τοισ προκεχειροτονημενοισ υπο του θεου ημιν οιτινεσ συνεφαγομεν και συνεπιομεν αυτω μετα το αναστηναι αυτον εκ νεκρων
42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
και παρηγγειλεν ημιν κηρυξαι τω λαω και διαμαρτυρασθαι οτι αυτοσ εστιν ο ωρισμενοσ υπο του θεου κριτησ ζωντων και νεκρων
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
τουτω παντεσ οι προφηται μαρτυρουσιν αφεσιν αμαρτιων λαβειν δια του ονοματοσ αυτου παντα τον πιστευοντα εισ αυτον
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
ετι λαλουντοσ του πετρου τα ρηματα ταυτα επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επι παντασ τουσ ακουοντασ τον λογον
45 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
και εξεστησαν οι εκ περιτομησ πιστοι οσοι συνηλθον τω πετρω οτι και επι τα εθνη η δωρεα του αγιου πνευματοσ εκκεχυται
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
ηκουον γαρ αυτων λαλουντων γλωσσαισ και μεγαλυνοντων τον θεον τοτε απεκριθη ο πετροσ
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
μητι το υδωρ κωλυσαι δυναται τισ του μη βαπτισθηναι τουτουσ οιτινεσ το πνευμα το αγιον ελαβον καθωσ και ημεισ
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
προσεταξεν τε αυτουσ βαπτισθηναι εν τω ονοματι του κυριου τοτε ηρωτησαν αυτον επιμειναι ημερασ τινασ
