Acts of the Apostles 1

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	GREEK BIBLE
1 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach,	1 Τον μεν πρωτον λογον εκαμον, ω Θεοφιλε, περι παντων οσα ηρχισεν ο Ιησους να καμνη και να διδασκη,
2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.	2 μεχρι της ημερας καθ' ην ανεληφθη, αφου δια Πνευματος Αγιου εδωκεν εντολας εις τους αποστολους, τους οποιους εξελεξεν?
3 To them he presented himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.	3 εις τους οποιους και εφανερωσεν εαυτον ζωντα μετα το παθος αυτου δια πολλων τεκμηριων, εμφανιζομενος εις αυτους τεσσαρακοντα ημερας και λεγων τα περι της βασιλειας του Θεου.
4 And while staying with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me,	4 Και συνερχομενος μετ' αυτων, παρηγγειλε να μη απομακρυνθωσιν απο Ιεροσολυμων, αλλα να περιμενωσι την επαγγελιαν του Πατρος, την οποιαν ηκουσατε, ειπε, παρ' εμου.
5 for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."	5 Διοτι ο μεν Ιωαννης εβαπτισεν εν υδατι, σεις ομως θελετε βαπτισθη εν Πνευματι Αγιω ουχι μετα πολλας ταυτας ημερας.
6 So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"	6 Εκεινοι λοιπον συνελθοντες ηρωτων αυτον, λεγοντες? Κυριε, ταχα εν τω καιρω τουτω αποκαθιστανεις την βασιλειαν εις τον Ισραηλ;
7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.	7 Ειπε δε προς αυτους? Δεν ανηκει εις εσας να γνωριζητε τους χρονους η τους καιρους, τους οποιους ο Πατηρ εθεσεν εν τη ιδια αυτου εξουσια,
8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth."	8 αλλα θελετε λαβει δυναμιν, οταν επελθη το Αγιον Πνευμα εφ' υμας, και θελετε εισθαι εις εμε μαρτυρες και εν Ιερουσαλημ και εν παση τη Ιουδαια και Σαμαρεια και εως εσχατου της γης.
9 And when he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.	9 Και αφου ειπε ταυτα, βλεποντων αυτων ανεληφθη, και νεφελη υπελαβεν αυτον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων.
10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes,	10 Και ενω ησαν ατενιζοντες εις τον ουρανον οτε αυτος ανεβαινεν, ιδου, ανδρες δυο με ιματια λευκα εσταθησαν πλησιον αυτων,
11 and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven."	11 οιτινες και ειπον? Ανδρες Γαλιλαιοι, τι ιστασθε εμβλεποντες εις τον ουρανον; ουτος ο Ιησους, οστις ανεληφθη αφ' υμων εις τον ουρανον, θελει ελθει ουτω καθ' ον τροπον ειδετε αυτον πορευομενον εις τον ουρανον.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day's journey away;	12 Τοτε υπεστρεψαν εις Ιερουσαλημ απο του ορους του καλουμενου Ελαιωνος, το οποιον ειναι πλησιον της Ιερουσαλημ, απεχον οδον σαββατου.
13 and when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.	13 Και οτε εισηλθον, ανεβησαν εις το ανωγεον, οπου ειχον το καταλυμα, ο Πετρος και Ιακωβος και Ιωαννης και Ανδρεας, Φιλιππος και Θωμας, Βαρθολομαιος και Ματθαιος, Ιακωβος Αλφαιου και Σιμων ο Ζηλωτης και Ιουδας Ιακωβου.
14 All these with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.	14 Ουτοι παντες ενεμενον ομοθυμαδον εις την προσευχην και την δεησιν μετα των γυναικων και Μαριας της μητρος του Ιησου και μετα των αδελφων αυτου.
15 In those days Peter stood up among the brethren (the company of persons was in all about a hundred and twenty), and said,	15 Και εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις σηκωθεις ο Πετρος εις το μεσον των μαθητων, ειπεν? ητο δε ο αριθμος των εκει παροντων ως εκατον εικοσιν?
16 "Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus.	16 Ανδρες αδελφοι, επρεπε να πληρωθη η γραφη αυτη, την οποιαν προειπε το Πνευμα το Αγιον δια στοματος του Δαβιδ περι του Ιουδα, οστις εγεινεν οδηγος εις τους συλλαβοντας τον Ιησουν,
17 For he was numbered among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry.	17 διοτι ητο συνηριθμημενος με ημας και ελαβε την μεριδα της διακονιας ταυτης.
18 (Now this man bought a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.	18 Ουτος λοιπον απεκτησεν αγρον εκ του μισθου της αδικιας, και πεσων προμυττα εσχισθη εις το μεσον, και εξεχυθησαν ολα τα εντοσθια αυτου?
19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)	19 και εγεινε γνωστον εις παντας τους κατοικουντας την Ιερουσαλημ, ωστε ο αγρος εκεινος ωνομασθη εν τη ιδια αυτων διαλεκτω Ακελδαμα, τουτεστιν, αγρος αιματος.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, 'Let his habitation become desolate, and let there be no one to live in it'; and 'His office let another take.'	20 Διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον εν τω βιβλιω των Ψαλμων? Ας γεινη η κατοικια αυτου ερημος και ας μη ηναι ο κατοικων εν αυτη? και, Αλλος ας λαβη την επισκοπην αυτου.
21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,	21 Πρεπει λοιπον εκ των ανδρων, οιτινες συνηλθον μεθ' ημων καθ' ολον τον καιρον, καθ' ον εισηλθε και εξηλθε προς ημας ο Κυριος Ιησους,
22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us--one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection."	22 αρχισας απο του βαπτισματος του Ιωαννου εως της ημερας καθ' ην ανεληφθη αφ' ημων, εις εκ τουτων να γεινη μεθ' ημων μαρτυς της αναστασεως αυτου.
23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.	23 Και εστησαν δυο, Ιωσηφ τον καλουμενον Βαρσαβαν, οστις επωνομασθη Ιουστος, και Ματθιαν.
24 And they prayed and said, "Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou hast chosen	24 Και προσευχηθεντες ειπον? Συ, Κυριε, καρδιογνωστα παντων, αναδειξον εκ των δυο τουτων ενα, οντινα εξελεξας,
25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside, to go to his own place."	25 δια να λαβη την μεριδα της διακονιας ταυτης και αποστολης, εκ της οποιας εξεπεσεν ο Ιουδας δια να απελθη εις τον τοπον αυτου.
26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was enrolled with the eleven apostles.	26 Και εδωκαν τους κληρους αυτων, και επεσεν ο κληρος εις τον Ματθιαν, και συγκατεψηφισθη μετα των ενδεκα αποστολων.
