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,
οτε δε ανεβη πετρος εις ιερουσαλημ διεκρινοντο προς αυτον οι εκ περιτομης
3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
λεγοντες οτι {VAR1: εισηλθεν } {VAR2: εισηλθες } προς ανδρας ακροβυστιαν εχοντας και {VAR1: συνεφαγεν } {VAR2: συνεφαγες } αυτοις
4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
αρξαμενος δε 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 αχρις 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 και 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 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 {VAR1: εκ δευτερου φωνη } {VAR2: 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 ανεσπασθη παλιν 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 ημεν 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 το πνευμα μοι συνελθειν αυτοις μηδεν διακριναντα 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 δε ημιν πως ειδεν {VAR1: τον } {VAR2: [τον] } αγγελον εν τω οικω αυτου σταθεντα και ειποντα αποστειλον εις ιοππην 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 του 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 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 εδοξασαν τον θεον λεγοντες αρα και τοις εθνεσιν ο θεος την μετανοιαν εις ζωην εδωκεν
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 ελθοντες εις αντιοχειαν ελαλουν και 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 ο 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 ουσης εν ιερουσαλημ περι αυτων και εξαπεστειλαν βαρναβαν {VAR2: [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 {VAR1: την } {VAR2: [την] } του θεου εχαρη και παρεκαλει παντας τη προθεσει της καρδιας προσμενειν {VAR1: [εν] } 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 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 εις αντιοχειαν εγενετο δε αυτοις και ενιαυτον ολον συναχθηναι εν τη εκκλησια και διδαξαι οχλον ικανον χρηματισαι τε πρωτως 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 {VAR1: εσημαινεν } {VAR2: εσημανεν } δια του πνευματος λιμον μεγαλην μελλειν εσεσθαι εφ ολην την οικουμενην ητις εγενετο επι κλαυδιου
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
