Acts 11
1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
ηκουσαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι αδελφοι οι οντεσ κατα την ιουδαιαν οτι και τα εθνη εδεξαντο τον λογον του θεου
2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
και οτε ανεβη πετροσ εισ ιεροσολυμα διεκρινοντο προσ αυτον οι εκ περιτομησ
3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
λεγοντεσ οτι προσ ανδρασ ακροβυστιαν εχοντασ εισηλθεσ και συνεφαγεσ αυτοισ
4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
αρξαμενοσ δε ο πετροσ εξετιθετο αυτοισ καθεξησ λεγων
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
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 αχρι εμου
6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
εισ ην ατενισασ κατενοουν και ειδον τα τετραποδα τησ γησ και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
ηκουσα δε φωνησ λεγουσησ μοι αναστασ πετρε θυσον και φαγε
8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
ειπον δε μηδαμωσ κυριε οτι παν κοινον η ακαθαρτον ουδεποτε εισηλθεν εισ το στομα μου
9 But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
απεκριθη δε μοι φωνη εκ δευτερου εκ του ουρανου α ο θεοσ εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου
10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρισ και παλιν ανεσπασθη απαντα εισ τον ουρανον
11 Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
και ιδου εξαυτησ τρεισ ανδρεσ επεστησαν επι την οικιαν εν η ημην απεσταλμενοι απο καισαρειασ προσ με
12 The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.
ειπεν δε μοι το πνευμα συνελθειν αυτοισ μηδεν διακρινομενον ηλθον δε συν εμοι και οι εξ αδελφοι ουτοι και εισηλθομεν εισ τον οικον του ανδροσ
13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,
απηγγειλεν τε ημιν πωσ ειδεν τον αγγελον εν τω οικω αυτου σταθεντα και ειποντα αυτω αποστειλον εισ ιοππην ανδρασ και μεταπεμψαι σιμωνα τον επικαλουμενον πετρον
14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
οσ λαλησει ρηματα προσ σε εν οισ σωθηση συ και πασ ο οικοσ σου
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
εν δε τω αρξασθαι με λαλειν επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επ αυτουσ ωσπερ και εφ ημασ εν αρχη
16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’
εμνησθην δε του ρηματοσ κυριου ωσ ελεγεν ιωαννησ μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεισ δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν πνευματι αγιω
17 If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
ει ουν την ισην δωρεαν εδωκεν αυτοισ ο θεοσ ωσ και ημιν πιστευσασιν επι τον κυριον ιησουν χριστον εγω δε τισ ημην δυνατοσ κωλυσαι τον θεον
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”
ακουσαντεσ δε ταυτα ησυχασαν και εδοξαζον τον θεον λεγοντεσ αρα γε και τοισ εθνεσιν ο θεοσ την μετανοιαν εδωκεν εισ ζωην
19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
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
20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
ησαν δε τινεσ εξ αυτων ανδρεσ κυπριοι και κυρηναιοι οιτινεσ εισελθοντεσ εισ αντιοχειαν ελαλουν προσ τουσ ελληνιστασ ευαγγελιζομενοι τον κυριον ιησουν
21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
και ην χειρ κυριου μετ αυτων πολυσ τε αριθμοσ πιστευσασ επεστρεψεν επι τον κυριον
22 The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
ηκουσθη δε ο λογοσ εισ τα ωτα τησ εκκλησιασ τησ εν ιεροσολυμοισ περι αυτων και εξαπεστειλαν βαρναβαν διελθειν εωσ αντιοχειασ
23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
οσ παραγενομενοσ και ιδων την χαριν του θεου εχαρη και παρεκαλει παντασ τη προθεσει τησ καρδιασ προσμενειν τω κυριω
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
οτι ην ανηρ αγαθοσ και πληρησ πνευματοσ αγιου και πιστεωσ και προσετεθη οχλοσ ικανοσ τω κυριω
25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
εξηλθεν δε εισ ταρσον ο βαρναβασ αναζητησαι σαυλον
26 When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
και ευρων ηγαγεν αυτον εισ αντιοχειαν εγενετο δε αυτουσ ενιαυτον ολον συναχθηναι τη εκκλησια και διδαξαι οχλον ικανον χρηματισαι τε πρωτον εν αντιοχεια τουσ μαθητασ χριστιανουσ
27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
εν ταυταισ δε ταισ ημεραισ κατηλθον απο ιεροσολυμων προφηται εισ αντιοχειαν
28 One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
αναστασ δε εισ εξ αυτων ονοματι αγαβοσ εσημανεν δια του πνευματοσ λιμον μεγαν μελλειν εσεσθαι εφ ολην την οικουμενην οστισ και εγενετο επι κλαυδιου καισαροσ
29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
των δε μαθητων καθωσ ευπορειτο τισ ωρισαν εκαστοσ αυτων εισ διακονιαν πεμψαι τοισ κατοικουσιν εν τη ιουδαια αδελφοισ
30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
ο και εποιησαν αποστειλαντεσ προσ τουσ πρεσβυτερουσ δια χειροσ βαρναβα και σαυλου
