Acts 11

Ηκουσαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι αδελφοι οι οντες εν τη Ιουδαια οτι και τα εθνη εδεχθησαν τον λογον του Θεου.

And the apostles and brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

Και οτε ανεβη ο Πετρος εις Ιεροσολυμα, εφιλονεικουν μετ αυτου οι εκ περιτομης,

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

λεγοντες οτι Εισηλθες προς ανθρωπους απεριτμητους και συνεφαγες μετ αυτων.

Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

Ο δε Πετρος ηρχισε και εξεθετε προς αυτους τα γενομενα κατα σειραν, λεγων

But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,

Εγω ημην προσευχομενος εν τη πολει Ιοππη, και ειδον οραμα εν εκστασει, σκευος τι καταβαινον ως σινδονα μεγαλην, ητις δεδεμενη απο των τεσσαρων ακρων κατεβιβαζετο εκ του ουρανου και ηλθε μεχρις εμου

I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

εις την οποιαν ατενισας παρετηρουν και ειδον τα τετραποδα της γης και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου.

Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

Και ηκουσα φωνην λεγουσαν προς εμε Σηκωθεις, Πετρε, σφαξον και φαγε.

And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

Και ειπον Μη γενοιτο, Κυριε, διοτι ουδεν βεβηλον η ακαθαρτον εισηλθε ποτε εις το στομα μου.

But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

Και η φωνη μοι απεκριθη εκ δευτερου εκ του ουρανου Οσα ο Θεος εκαθαρισε, συ μη λεγε βεβηλα.

But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

Εγεινε δε τουτο τρις, και παλιν ανεσυρθησαν απαντα εις τον ουρανον.

And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

Και ιδου, τη αυτη ωρα τρεις ανθρωποι εφθασαν εις την οικιαν, εν ± ημην, απεσταλμενοι προς εμε απο Καισαρειας.

And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.

Ειπε δε προς εμε το Πνευμα να υπαγω μετ αυτων, μηδολως δισταζων. Ηλθον δε μετ εμου και οι εξ ουτοι αδελφοι, και εισηλθομεν εις τον οικον του ανθρωπου,

And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

και απηγγειλε προς ημας πως ειδε τον αγγελον εν τω οικω αυτου, οτι εσταθη και ειπε προς αυτον Αποστειλον ανθρωπους εις Ιοππην και προσκαλεσον τον Σιμωνα τον επονομαζομενον Πετρον,

And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

οστις θελει λαλησει προς σε λογους, δι ων θελεις σωθη συ και πας ο οικος σου.

Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

Και ενω ηρχισα να λαλω, το Πνευμα το Αγιον επηλθεν επ αυτους καθως και εφ ημας κατ αρχας.

And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

Τοτε ενεθυμηθην τον λογον του Κυριου, οτι ελεγεν Ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν εν υδατι, σεις ομως θελετε βαπτισθη εν Πνευματι Αγιω.

Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Εαν λοιπον ο Θεος εδωκεν εις αυτους την ισην δωρεαν ως και εις ημας, διοτι επιστευσαν εις τον Κυριον Ιησουν Χριστον, εγω τις ημην ωστε να δυνηθω να εμποδισω τον Θεον;

Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

Ακουσαντες δε ταυτα ησυχασαν και εδοξαζον τον Θεον, λεγοντες Και εις τα εθνη λοιπον εδωκεν ο Θεος την μετανοιαν εις ζωην.

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

Οι μεν λοιπον διασκορπισθεντες εκ του διωγμου του γενομενου δια τον Στεφανον, επερασαν εως Φοινικης και Κυπρου και Αντιοχειας, εις μηδενα κηρυττοντες τον λογον, ειμη μονον εις Ιουδαιους.

Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

Ησαν δε τινες εξ αυτων ανδρες Κυπριοι και Κυρηναιοι, οιτινες εισελθοντες εις Αντιοχειαν, ελαλουν προς τους Ελληνιστας, ευαγγελιζομενοι τον Κυριον Ιησουν.

And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.

Και ητο χειρ Κυριου μετ αυτων, και πολυ πληθος πιστευσαντες επεστρεψαν εις τον Κυριον.

And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

Ηκουσθη δε ο λογος περι αυτων εις τα ωτα της εκκλησιας της εν Ιεροσολυμοις, και εξαπεστειλαν τον Βαρναβαν, δια να περαση εως Αντιοχειας

Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

οστις ελθων και ιδων την χαριν του Θεου, εχαρη και παρεκινει παντας να εμμενωσιν εν σταθεροτητι καρδιας εις τον Κυριον,

Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

επειδη ητο ανηρ αγαθος και πληρης Πνευματος Αγιου και πιστεως και προσετεθη εις τον Κυριον πληθος ικανον.

For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

Τοτε εξηλθεν εις Ταρσον ο Βαρναβας, δια να αναζητηση τον Σαυλον,

Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

και ευρων αυτον, εφερεν αυτον εις Αντιοχειαν. Και συνελθοντες εις την εκκλησιαν εν ολοκληρον ετος εδιδαξαν πληθος ικανον, και πρωτον εν Αντιοχεια ωνομασθησαν οι μαθηται Χριστιανοι.

And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Εν εκειναις δε ταις ημεραις κατεβησαν απο Ιεροσολυμων προφηται εις Αντιοχειαν

And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

σηκωθεις δε εις εξ αυτων ονοματι Αγαβος, εφανερωσε δια του Πνευματος οτι εμελλε να γεινη μεγαλη πεινα καθ ολην την οικουμενην ητις και εγεινεν επι Κλαυδιου Καισαρος.

And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cæsar.

Οθεν οι μαθηται απεφασισαν, εκαστος αυτων κατα την εαυτου καταστασιν, να πεμψωσι βοηθειαν προς τους αδελφους τους κατοικουντας εν τη Ιουδαια

Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judæa:

το οποιον και εκαμον αποστειλαντες αυτην προς τους πρεσβυτερους δια χειρος Βαρναβα και Σαυλου.

Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
