Acts of the Apostles 8

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And at that time there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles.	1 Ο δε Σαυλος ητο συμφωνος εις τον φονον αυτου. Και εγεινεν εν εκεινη τη ημερα διωγμος μεγας κατα της εκκλησιας της εν Ιεροσολυμοις και παντες διεσπαρησαν εις τους τοπους της Ιουδαιας και Σαμαρειας, πλην των αποστολων.
2 And devout men took order for Stephen's funeral, and made great mourning over him.	2 Εφεραν δε τον Στεφανον εις τον ταφον ανδρες ευλαβεις και εκαμον θρηνον μεγαν επ' αυτον.
3 But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house, and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison.	3 Ο δε Σαυλος εκακοποιει την εκκλησιαν, εμβαινων εις πασαν οικιαν και συρων ανδρας και γυναικας, παρεδιδεν εις την φυλακην.
4 They therefore that were dispersed, went about preaching the word of God.	4 Οι μεν λοιπον διασπαρεντες διηλθον ευαγγελιζομενοι τον λογον.
5 And Philip going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.	5 Ο δε Φιλιππος, καταβας εις την πολιν της Σαμαρειας, εκηρυττεν εις αυτους τον Χριστον.
6 And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did.	6 Και οι οχλοι προσειχον ομοθυμαδον εις τα λεγομενα υπο του Φιλιππου, ακουοντες και βλεποντες τα θαυματα, τα οποια εκαμνε.
7 For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.	7 Διοτι εκ πολλων εχοντων πνευματα ακαθαρτα εξηρχοντο αυτα φωναζοντα μετα μεγαλης φωνης, και πολλοι παραλυτικοι και χωλοι εθεραπευθησαν,
8 And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.	8 και εγεινε χαρα μεγαλη εν εκεινη τη πολει.
9 There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:	9 Ανθρωπος δε τις Σιμων ονομαζομενος προυπηρχεν εν τη πολει, καμνων μαγειας και εκπληττων τον λαον της Σαμαρειας, λεγων εαυτον οτι ειναι μεγας τις?
10 To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.	10 εις τον οποιον εδιδον προσοχην παντες απο μικρου εως μεγαλου, λεγοντες? Ουτος ειναι η δυναμις του Θεου η μεγαλη.
11 And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.	11 Εδιδον δε προσοχην εις αυτον, διοτι ειχεν εκπληξει αυτους πολυν καιρον με τας μαγειας.
12 But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.	12 Οτε ομως επιστευσαν εις τον Φιλιππον ευαγγελιζομενον τα περι της βασιλειας του Θεου και του ονοματος του Ιησου Χριστου, εβαπτιζοντο ανδρες τε και γυναικες.
13 Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.	13 Ο δε Σιμων και αυτος επιστευσε, και βαπτισθεις εμενε παντοτε μετα του Φιλιππου, και θεωρων σημεια και θαυματα μεγαλα γινομενα εξεπληττετο.
14 Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.	14 Ακουσαντες δε οι αποστολοι οι εν Ιεροσολυμοις οτι η Σαμαρεια εδεχθη τον λογον του Θεου, απεστειλαν προς αυτους τον Πετρον και Ιωαννην?
15 Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.	15 Οιτινες καταβαντες προσηυχηθησαν περι αυτων δια να λαβωσι Πνευμα Αγιον?
16 For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.	16 διοτι δεν ειχεν ετι επιπεσει επ' ουδενα εξ αυτων, αλλα μονον ησαν βεβαπτισμενοι εις το ονομα του Κυριου Ιησου.
17 Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.	17 Τοτε επεθετον τας χειρας επ' αυτους, και ελαμβανον Πνευμα Αγιον.
18 And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,	18 Ιδων δε ο Σιμων οτι δια της επιθεσεως των χειρων των αποστολων διδεται το Πνευμα το Αγιον, προσεφερεν εις αυτους χρηματα,
19 Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him:	19 λεγων? Δοτε και εις εμε την εξουσιαν ταυτην, ωστε εις οντινα επιθεσω τας χειρας να λαμβανη Πνευμα Αγιον.
20 Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.	20 Και ο Πετρος ειπε προς αυτον? το αργυριον σου ας ηναι μετα σου εις απωλειαν, διοτι ενομισας οτι η δωρεα του Θεου αποκταται δια χρηματων.
21 Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God.	21 Συ δεν εχεις μεριδα ουδε κληρον εν τω λογω τουτω? διοτι η καρδια σου δεν ειναι ευθεια ενωπιον του Θεου.
22 Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness; and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.	22 Μετανοησον λοιπον απο της κακιας σου ταυτης και δεηθητι του Θεου, ισως συγχωρηθη εις σε η επινοια της καρδιας σου?
23 For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bonds of iniquity.	23 επειδη σε βλεπω οτι εισαι εις χολην πικριας και δεσμον αδικιας.
24 Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.	24 Αποκριθεις δε ο Σιμων, ειπε? Δεηθητε σεις υπερ εμου προς τον Κυριον, δια να μη ελθη επ' εμε μηδεν εξ οσων ειπετε.
25 And they indeed having testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many countries of the Samaritans.	25 Εκεινοι λοιπον, αφου εμαρτυρησαν και ελαλησαν τον λογον του Κυριου, υπεστρεψαν εις Ιερουσαλημ, κηρυξαντες το ευαγγελιον και εν πολλαις κωμαις των Σαμαρειτων.
26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert.	26 Αγγελος δε Κυριου ελαλησε προς τον Φιλιππον, λεγων? Σηκωθητι και υπαγε προς μεσημβριαν εις την οδον την καταβαινουσαν απο Ιερουσαλημ εις Γαζαν? αυτη ειναι ερημος.
27 And rising up, he went. And behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore.	27 Και σηκωθεις υπηγε. Και ιδου, ανθρωπος Αιθιοψ ευνουχος, αρχων της Κανδακης της βασιλισσης των Αιθιοπων, οστις ητο επι παντων των θησαυρων αυτης, ουτος ειχεν ελθει δια να προσκυνηση εις Ιερουσαλημ,
28 And he was returning, sitting in this chariot, and reading Isaias the prophet.	28 και υπεστρεφε και καθημενος επι της αμαξης αυτου, ανεγινωσκε τον προφητην Ησαιαν.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.	29 Ειπε δε το Πνευμα προς τον Φιλιππον? Πλησιασον και προσκολληθητι εις την αμαξαν ταυτην.
30 And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?	30 Και ο Φιλιππος εδραμε πλησιον και ηκουσεν αυτον αναγινωσκοντα τον προφητην Ησαιαν και ειπεν? Αρα γε γινωσκεις α αναγινωσκεις;
31 Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.	31 Ο δε ειπε? Και πως ηθελον δυνηθη, εαν δεν με οδηγηση τις; Και παρεκαλεσε τον Φιλιππον να αναβη και να καθηση μετ' αυτου.
32 And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.	32 Το δε χωριον της γραφης, το οποιον ανεγινωσκεν, ητο τουτο. Εφερθη ως προβατον επι σφαγην? και ως αρνιον εμπροσθεν του κειροντος αυτο αφωνον, ουτω δεν ανοιγει το στομα αυτου.
33 In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth?	33 Εν τη ταπεινωσει αυτου αφηρεθη η κρισις αυτου? την δε γενεαν αυτου τις θελει διηγηθη; διοτι σηκονεται απο της γης η ζωη αυτου.
34 And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man?	34 Αποκριθεις δε ο ευνουχος προς τον Φιλιππον, ειπε? Παρακαλω σε, περι τινος λεγει τουτο ο προφητης; περι εαυτου περι αλλου τινος;
35 Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.	35 Και ανοιξας ο Φιλιππος το στομα αυτου και αρχισας απο της γραφης ταυτης, ευηγγελισατο εις αυτον τον Ιησουν.
36 And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?	36 Και καθως εξηκολουθουν την οδον, ηλθον εις το υδωρ, και λεγει ο ευνουχος? Ιδου υδωρ? τι με εμποδιζει να βαπτισθω;
37 And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.	37 Και ο Φιλιππος ειπεν? Εαν πιστευης εξ ολης της καρδιας, δυνασαι. Και αποκριθεις ειπε? Πιστευω οτι ο Ιησους Χριστος ειναι ο Υιος του Θεου.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him.	38 Και προσεταξε να σταθη η αμαξα, και κατεβησαν αμφοτεροι εις το υδωρ, ο Φιλιππος και ο ευνουχος, και εβαπτισεν αυτον.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing.	39 Οτε δε ανεβησαν εκ του υδατος, Πνευμα Κυριου ηρπασε τον Φιλιππον, και δεν ειδεν αυτον πλεον ο ευνουχος? αλλ' επορευετο την οδον αυτου χαιρων.
40 But Philip was found in Azotus; and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.	40 Ο δε Φιλιππος ευρεθη εις Αζωτον, και διερχομενος εκηρυττεν εις πασας τας πολεις, εωσου ηλθεν εις Καισαρειαν.
