Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
ο δε σαυλοσ ετι εμπνεων απειλησ και φονου εισ τουσ μαθητασ του κυριου προσελθων τω αρχιερει
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
ητησατο παρ αυτου επιστολασ εισ δαμασκον προσ τασ συναγωγασ οπωσ εαν τινασ ευρη τησ οδου οντασ ανδρασ τε και γυναικασ δεδεμενουσ αγαγη εισ ιερουσαλημ
3 As he traveled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
εν δε τω πορευεσθαι εγενετο αυτον εγγιζειν τη δαμασκω και εξαιφνησ περιηστραψεν αυτον φωσ απο του ουρανου
4 He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
και πεσων επι την γην ηκουσεν φωνην λεγουσαν αυτω σαουλ σαουλ τι με διωκεισ
5 He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
ειπεν δε τισ ει κυριε ο δε κυριοσ ειπεν εγω ειμι ιησουσ ον συ διωκεισ
6 But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”
αλλα αναστηθι και εισελθε εισ την πολιν και λαληθησεται σοι τι σε δει ποιειν
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
οι δε ανδρεσ οι συνοδευοντεσ αυτω ειστηκεισαν ενεοι ακουοντεσ μεν τησ φωνησ μηδενα δε θεωρουντεσ
8 Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
ηγερθη δε ο σαυλοσ απο τησ γησ ανεωγμενων τε των οφθαλμων αυτου ουδενα εβλεπεν χειραγωγουντεσ δε αυτον εισηγαγον εισ δαμασκον
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
και ην ημερασ τρεισ μη βλεπων και ουκ εφαγεν ουδε επιεν
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
ην δε τισ μαθητησ εν δαμασκω ονοματι ανανιασ και ειπεν προσ αυτον ο κυριοσ εν οραματι ανανια ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω κυριε
11 The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
ο δε κυριοσ προσ αυτον αναστασ πορευθητι επι την ρυμην την καλουμενην ευθειαν και ζητησον εν οικια ιουδα σαυλον ονοματι ταρσεα ιδου γαρ προσευχεται
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
και ειδεν εν οραματι ανδρα ονοματι ανανιαν εισελθοντα και επιθεντα αυτω χειρα οπωσ αναβλεψη
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
απεκριθη δε ανανιασ κυριε ακηκοα απο πολλων περι του ανδροσ τουτου οσα κακα εποιησεν τοισ αγιοισ σου εν ιερουσαλημ
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
και ωδε εχει εξουσιαν παρα των αρχιερεων δησαι παντασ τουσ επικαλουμενουσ το ονομα σου
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
ειπεν δε προσ αυτον ο κυριοσ πορευου οτι σκευοσ εκλογησ μοι εστιν ουτοσ του βαστασαι το ονομα μου ενωπιον εθνων και βασιλεων υιων τε ισραηλ
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
εγω γαρ υποδειξω αυτω οσα δει αυτον υπερ του ονοματοσ μου παθειν
17 Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
απηλθεν δε ανανιασ και εισηλθεν εισ την οικιαν και επιθεισ επ αυτον τασ χειρασ ειπεν σαουλ αδελφε ο κυριοσ απεσταλκεν με ο οφθεισ σοι εν τη οδω η ηρχου οπωσ αναβλεψησ και πλησθησ πνευματοσ αγιου
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
και ευθεωσ απεπεσον απο των οφθαλμων αυτου ωσει λεπιδεσ ανεβλεψεν τε και αναστασ εβαπτισθη
19 He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
και λαβων τροφην ενισχυσεν εγενετο δε ο σαυλοσ μετα των εν δαμασκω μαθητων ημερασ τινασ
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
και ευθεωσ εν ταισ συναγωγαισ εκηρυσσεν τον χριστον οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ του θεου
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests!”
εξισταντο δε παντεσ οι ακουοντεσ και ελεγον ουχ ουτοσ εστιν ο πορθησασ εν ιερουσαλημ τουσ επικαλουμενουσ το ονομα τουτο και ωδε εισ τουτο εληλυθεν ινα δεδεμενουσ αυτουσ αγαγη επι τουσ αρχιερεισ
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
σαυλοσ δε μαλλον ενεδυναμουτο και συνεχυνεν τουσ ιουδαιουσ τουσ κατοικουντασ εν δαμασκω συμβιβαζων οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο χριστοσ
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
ωσ δε επληρουντο ημεραι ικαναι συνεβουλευσαντο οι ιουδαιοι ανελειν αυτον
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
εγνωσθη δε τω σαυλω η επιβουλη αυτων παρετηρουν τε τασ πυλασ ημερασ τε και νυκτοσ οπωσ αυτον ανελωσιν
25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
λαβοντεσ δε αυτον οι μαθηται νυκτοσ καθηκαν δια του τειχουσ χαλασαντεσ εν σπυριδι
26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
παραγενομενοσ δε ο σαυλοσ εν ιερουσαλημ επειρατο κολλασθαι τοισ μαθηταισ και παντεσ εφοβουντο αυτον μη πιστευοντεσ οτι εστιν μαθητησ
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
βαρναβασ δε επιλαβομενοσ αυτον ηγαγεν προσ τουσ αποστολουσ και διηγησατο αυτοισ πωσ εν τη οδω ειδεν τον κυριον και οτι ελαλησεν αυτω και πωσ εν δαμασκω επαρρησιασατο εν τω ονοματι του ιησου
28 He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
και ην μετ αυτων εισπορευομενοσ εισ ιερουσαλημ και παρρησιαζομενοσ εν τω ονοματι του κυριου ιησου
29 preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
ελαλει τε και συνεζητει προσ τουσ ελληνιστασ οι δε επεχειρουν αυτον ανελειν
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
επιγνοντεσ δε οι αδελφοι κατηγαγον αυτον εισ καισαρειαν και εξαπεστειλαν αυτον εισ ταρσον
31 So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
αι μεν ουν εκκλησιαι καθ ολησ τησ ιουδαιασ και γαλιλαιασ και σαμαρειασ ειχον ειρηνην οικοδομουμεναι και πορευομεναι τω φοβω του κυριου και τη παρακλησει του αγιου πνευματοσ επληθυνοντο
32 As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
εγενετο δε πετρον διερχομενον δια παντων κατελθειν και προσ τουσ αγιουσ τουσ κατοικουντασ λυδδαν
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralyzed.
ευρεν δε εκει ανθρωπον τινα αινεαν ονοματι εξ ετων οκτω κατακειμενον επι κραββατω οσ ην παραλελυμενοσ
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
και ειπεν αυτω ο πετροσ αινεα ιαται σε ιησουσ ο χριστοσ αναστηθι και στρωσον σεαυτω και ευθεωσ ανεστη
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
και ειδον αυτον παντεσ οι κατοικουντεσ λυδδαν και τον ασσαρωνα οιτινεσ επεστρεψαν επι τον κυριον
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
εν ιοππη δε τισ ην μαθητρια ονοματι ταβηθα η διερμηνευομενη λεγεται δορκασ αυτη ην πληρησ αγαθων εργων και ελεημοσυνων ων εποιει
37 In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
εγενετο δε εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ ασθενησασαν αυτην αποθανειν λουσαντεσ δε αυτην εθηκαν εν υπερωω
38 As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
εγγυσ δε ουσησ λυδδησ τη ιοππη οι μαθηται ακουσαντεσ οτι πετροσ εστιν εν αυτη απεστειλαν προσ αυτον παρακαλουντεσ μη οκνησαι διελθειν εωσ αυτων
39 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
αναστασ δε πετροσ συνηλθεν αυτοισ ον παραγενομενον ανηγαγον εισ το υπερωον και παρεστησαν αυτω πασαι αι χηραι κλαιουσαι και επιδεικνυμεναι χιτωνασ και ιματια οσα εποιει μετ αυτων ουσα η δορκασ
40 Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
εκβαλων δε εξω παντασ ο πετροσ θεισ τα γονατα προσηυξατο και επιστρεψασ προσ το σωμα ειπεν ταβηθα αναστηθι η δε ηνοιξεν τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτησ και ιδουσα τον πετρον ανεκαθισεν
41 He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
δουσ δε αυτη χειρα ανεστησεν αυτην φωνησασ δε τουσ αγιουσ και τασ χηρασ παρεστησεν αυτην ζωσαν
42 This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
γνωστον δε εγενετο καθ ολησ τησ ιοππησ και πολλοι επιστευσαν επι τον κυριον
43 He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
εγενετο δε ημερασ ικανασ μειναι αυτον εν ιοππη παρα τινι σιμωνι βυρσει
