Acts of the Apostles 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught	1 Τον μεν πρωτον λογον εκαμον, ω Θεοφιλε, περι παντων οσα ηρχισεν ο Ιησους να καμνη και να διδασκη,
2 until the day he was taken up, after giving instructions 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 He presented himself alive to them by many proofs after he had suffered, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about 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 While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for "the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak;	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 in a few days you will 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 When they had gathered together they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to 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 answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established 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 will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends 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 When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.	9 Και αφου ειπε ταυτα, βλεποντων αυτων ανεληφθη, και νεφελη υπελαβεν αυτον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων.
10 While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.	10 Και ενω ησαν ατενιζοντες εις τον ουρανον οτε αυτος ανεβαινεν, ιδου, ανδρες δυο με ιματια λευκα εσταθησαν πλησιον αυτων,
11 They said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going 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 When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas 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 devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and 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 During those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (there was a group of about one hundred and twenty persons in the one place). He 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 "My brothers, the scripture had to be fulfilled which the holy Spirit spoke beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was the guide for 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 He was numbered among us and was allotted a share in this ministry.	17 διοτι ητο συνηριθμημενος με ημας και ελαβε την μεριδα της διακονιας ταυτης.
18 He bought a parcel of land with the wages of his iniquity, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle, and all his insides spilled 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 This became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem, so that the parcel of land 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 encampment become desolate, and may no one dwell in it.' And: 'May another take his office.'	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 Therefore, it is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus came and went 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 on which he was taken up from us, 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 So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.	23 Και εστησαν δυο, Ιωσηφ τον καλουμενον Βαρσαβαν, οστις επωνομασθη Ιουστος, και Ματθιαν.
24 Then they prayed, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen	24 Και προσευχηθεντες ειπον? Συ, Κυριε, καρδιογνωστα παντων, αναδειξον εκ των δυο τουτων ενα, οντινα εξελεξας,
25 to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away 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 Then they gave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was counted with the eleven apostles.	26 Και εδωκαν τους κληρους αυτων, και επεσεν ο κληρος εις τον Ματθιαν, και συγκατεψηφισθη μετα των ενδεκα αποστολων.
