< Acts 12 >

1 At that [very] now time put forth Herod the king the hands to mistreat some of those of the church.
κατ εκεινον δε τον καιρον επεβαλεν ηρωδης ο βασιλευς τας χειρας κακωσαι τινας των απο της εκκλησιας
2 He executed then James the brother of John with the sword.
ανειλεν δε ιακωβον τον αδελφον ιωαννου μαχαιρα
3 (and *k) Having seen (now *no) that pleasing it is to the Jews, he proceeded to take also Peter — these were now (the *no) days of the Unleavened [Bread] —
και ιδων οτι αρεστον εστιν τοις ιουδαιοις προσεθετο συλλαβειν και πετρον ησαν δε ημεραι των αζυμων
4 whom also having seized he put in prison having delivered [him] to four sets of four soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring out him to the people.
ον και πιασας εθετο εις φυλακην παραδους τεσσαρσιν τετραδιοις στρατιωτων φυλασσειν αυτον βουλομενος μετα το πασχα αναγαγειν αυτον τω λαω
5 Indeed therefore Peter was kept in the prison; prayer however was (fervently *N+kO) being made by the church to God (concerning *N+kO) him.
ο μεν ουν πετρος ετηρειτο εν τη φυλακη προσευχη δε ην εκτενης γινομενη υπο της εκκλησιας προς τον θεον υπερ αυτου
6 When then was about (to bring forth *N+k+o) him Herod, in the night that [one] was Peter sleeping between two soldiers bound with chains two, guards also before the door were watching the prison.
οτε δε εμελλεν αυτον προαγειν ο ηρωδης τη νυκτι εκεινη ην ο πετρος κοιμωμενος μεταξυ δυο στρατιωτων δεδεμενος αλυσεσιν δυσιν φυλακες τε προ της θυρας ετηρουν την φυλακην
7 And behold an angel of [the] Lord stood by and a light shone in the cell; Having struck then the side of Peter he woke up him saying; do rise up with speed. And fell of him the chains off the hands.
και ιδου αγγελος κυριου επεστη και φως ελαμψεν εν τω οικηματι παταξας δε την πλευραν του πετρου ηγειρεν αυτον λεγων αναστα εν ταχει και εξεπεσον αυτου αι αλυσεις εκ των χειρων
8 Said (then *N+kO) the angel to him; (do dress yourself *N+KO) and do yourself put on the sandals of you. He did and so. And he says to him; do yourself wrap around the cloak of you and do follow me.
ειπεν τε ο αγγελος προς αυτον περιζωσαι και υποδησαι τα σανδαλια σου εποιησεν δε ουτως και λεγει αυτω περιβαλου το ιματιον σου και ακολουθει μοι
9 And having gone forth he was following (him; *k) and not did know that real is what is happening through the angel, he was thinking however a vision to see.
και εξελθων ηκολουθει αυτω και ουκ ηδει οτι αληθες εστιν το γινομενον δια του αγγελου εδοκει δε οραμα βλεπειν
10 Having passed through then a first guard and a second they came to the gate iron which is leading into the city, which by itself (opened *N+kO) to them, And having gone out they went on through street one and immediately departed the angel from him.
διελθοντες δε πρωτην φυλακην και δευτεραν ηλθον επι την πυλην την σιδηραν την φερουσαν εις την πολιν ητις αυτοματη ηνοιχθη αυτοις και εξελθοντες προηλθον ρυμην μιαν και ευθεως απεστη ο αγγελος απ αυτου
11 And Peter to himself having come said; Now I know truly that has sent forth (the *no) Lord the angel of Him and delivered me out of [the] hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
και ο πετρος γενομενος εν εαυτω ειπεν νυν οιδα αληθως οτι εξαπεστειλεν κυριος τον αγγελον αυτου και εξειλετο με εκ χειρος ηρωδου και πασης της προσδοκιας του λαου των ιουδαιων
12 Having considered [it] also he came to the house of Mary the mother of John who is called Mark, where were many gathered together and praying.
συνιδων τε ηλθεν επι την οικιαν μαριας της μητρος ιωαννου του επικαλουμενου μαρκου ου ησαν ικανοι συνηθροισμενοι και προσευχομενοι
13 When was knocking then (he *N+KO) [at] the door of the gate came a girl to answer named Rhoda;
κρουσαντος δε του πετρου την θυραν του πυλωνος προσηλθεν παιδισκη υπακουσαι ονοματι ροδη
14 And having recognized the voice of Peter from joy not she opened the gate having run in but she reported to have been standing Peter before the gate.
και επιγνουσα την φωνην του πετρου απο της χαρας ουκ ηνοιξεν τον πυλωνα εισδραμουσα δε απηγγειλεν εσταναι τον πετρον προ του πυλωνος
15 And to her they said; You rave. But she was insisting [it] so to be. And they were saying; The angel it is of him.
οι δε προς αυτην ειπον μαινη η δε διισχυριζετο ουτως εχειν οι δ ελεγον ο αγγελος αυτου εστιν
16 But Peter was continuing knocking; having opened [it] then they saw him and were amazed.
ο δε πετρος επεμενεν κρουων ανοιξαντες δε ειδον αυτον και εξεστησαν
17 Having made a sign then to them with the hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord him had brought out of the prison; He said (then; *N+kO) do report to James and to the brothers these things. And having gone out he went to another place.
κατασεισας δε αυτοις τη χειρι σιγαν διηγησατο αυτοις πως ο κυριος αυτον εξηγαγεν εκ της φυλακης ειπεν δε απαγγειλατε ιακωβω και τοις αδελφοις ταυτα και εξελθων επορευθη εις ετερον τοπον
18 When was coming now day there was disturbance no small among the soldiers what then [of] Peter has become.
γενομενης δε ημερας ην ταραχος ουκ ολιγος εν τοις στρατιωταις τι αρα ο πετρος εγενετο
19 Herod then having sought after him and not having found [him] having examined the guards he commanded [them] to be led away [to death], And having gone down from Judea to Caesarea he was staying [there].
ηρωδης δε επιζητησας αυτον και μη ευρων ανακρινας τους φυλακας εκελευσεν απαχθηναι και κατελθων απο της ιουδαιας εις την καισαρειαν διετριβεν
20 He was now (Herod *K) furiously angry with [the] Tyrians and Sidonians; with one accord then they were coming to him And having gained Blastus who [was] over the bedchamber of the king they were seeking peace, because of being nourished their region by the king’s.
ην δε ο ηρωδης 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
21 On the appointed now day Herod having put on apparel royal and having sat on the throne was making an address to them.
τακτη δε ημερα ο ηρωδης ενδυσαμενος εσθητα βασιλικην και καθισας επι του βηματος εδημηγορει προς αυτους
22 And the people were crying out; Of a god [this is the] voice and not of a man!
ο δε δημος επεφωνει θεου φωνη και ουκ ανθρωπου
23 Immediately then struck him an angel of [the] Lord in return for that not he gave the glory to God, and having been eaten by worms he breathed his last.
παραχρημα δε επαταξεν αυτον αγγελος κυριου ανθ ων ουκ εδωκεν την δοξαν τω θεω και γενομενος σκωληκοβρωτος εξεψυξεν
24 But the word (of God *NK+O) was continuing to grow and was being multiplied.
ο δε λογος του θεου ηυξανεν και επληθυνετο
25 Barnabas then and Saul returned (to *N+KO) Jerusalem having fulfilled the mission, having taken with [them] (and *k) John the [one] having been called Mark.
βαρναβας δε και σαυλος υπεστρεψαν εξ ιερουσαλημ πληρωσαντες την διακονιαν συμπαραλαβοντες και ιωαννην τον επικληθεντα μαρκον
