Acts of the Apostles 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles too had accepted the word of God.	1 Ηκουσαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι αδελφοι οι οντες εν τη Ιουδαια οτι και τα εθνη εδεχθησαν τον λογον του Θεου.
2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem the circumcised believers confronted him,	2 Και οτε ανεβη ο Πετρος εις Ιεροσολυμα, εφιλονεικουν μετ' αυτου οι εκ περιτομης,
3 saying, "You entered the house of uncircumcised people and ate with them."	3 λεγοντες οτι Εισηλθες προς ανθρωπους απεριτμητους και συνεφαγες μετ' αυτων.
4 Peter began and explained it to them step by step, saying,	4 Ο δε Πετρος ηρχισε και εξεθετε προς αυτους τα γενομενα κατα σειραν, λεγων?
5 "I was at prayer in the city of Joppa when in a trance I had a vision, something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered from the sky by its four corners, and it came to me.	5 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?
6 Looking intently into it, I observed and saw the four-legged animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.	6 εις την οποιαν ατενισας παρετηρουν και ειδον τα τετραποδα της γης και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου.
7 I also heard a voice say to me, 'Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat.'	7 Και ηκουσα φωνην λεγουσαν προς εμε? Σηκωθεις, Πετρε, σφαξον και φαγε.
8 But I said, 'Certainly not, sir, because nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'	8 Και ειπον? Μη γενοιτο, Κυριε, διοτι ουδεν βεβηλον η ακαθαρτον εισηλθε ποτε εις το στομα μου.
9 But a second time a voice from heaven answered, 'What God has made clean, you are not to call profane.'	9 Και η φωνη μοι απεκριθη εκ δευτερου εκ του ουρανου? Οσα ο Θεος εκαθαρισε, συ μη λεγε βεβηλα.
10 This happened three times, and then everything was drawn up again into the sky.	10 Εγεινε δε τουτο τρις, και παλιν ανεσυρθησαν απαντα εις τον ουρανον.
11 Just then three men appeared at the house where we were, who had been sent to me from Caesarea.	11 Και ιδου, τη αυτη ωρα τρεις ανθρωποι εφθασαν εις την οικιαν, εν η ημην, απεσταλμενοι προς εμε απο Καισαρειας.
12 The Spirit told me to accompany them without discriminating. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house.	12 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,
13 He related to us how he had seen (the) angel standing in his house, saying, 'Send someone to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter,	13 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,
14 who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.'	14 οστις θελει λαλησει προς σε λογους, δι' ων θελεις σωθη συ και πας ο οικος σου.
15 As I began to speak, the holy Spirit fell upon them as it had upon us at the beginning,	15 Και ενω ηρχισα να λαλω, το Πνευμα το Αγιον επηλθεν επ' αυτους καθως και εφ' ημας κατ' αρχας.
16 and I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said, 'John baptized with water but you will be baptized with the holy Spirit.'	16 Τοτε ενεθυμηθην τον λογον του Κυριου, οτι ελεγεν? Ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν εν υδατι, σεις ομως θελετε βαπτισθη εν Πνευματι Αγιω.
17 If then God gave them the same gift he gave to us when we came to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to be able to hinder God?"	17 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;
18 When they heard this, they stopped objecting and glorified God, saying, "God has then granted life-giving repentance to the Gentiles too."	18 Ακουσαντες δε ταυτα ησυχασαν και εδοξαζον τον Θεον, λεγοντες? Και εις τα εθνη λοιπον εδωκεν ο Θεος την μετανοιαν εις ζωην.
19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that arose because of Stephen went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but Jews.	19 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.
20 There were some Cypriots and Cyrenians among them, however, who came to Antioch and began to speak to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the Lord Jesus.	20 Ησαν δε τινες εξ αυτων ανδρες Κυπριοι και Κυρηναιοι, οιτινες εισελθοντες εις Αντιοχειαν, ελαλουν προς τους Ελληνιστας, ευαγγελιζομενοι τον Κυριον Ιησουν.
21 The hand of the Lord was with them and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.	21 Και ητο χειρ Κυριου μετ' αυτων, και πολυ πληθος πιστευσαντες επεστρεψαν εις τον Κυριον.
22 The news about them reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas (to go) to Antioch.	22 Ηκουσθη δε ο λογος περι αυτων εις τα ωτα της εκκλησιας της εν Ιεροσολυμοις, και εξαπεστειλαν τον Βαρναβαν, δια να περαση εως Αντιοχειας?
23 When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart,	23 οστις ελθων και ιδων την χαριν του Θεου, εχαρη και παρεκινει παντας να εμμενωσιν εν σταθεροτητι καρδιας εις τον Κυριον,
24 for he was a good man, filled with the holy Spirit and faith. And a large number of people was added to the Lord.	24 επειδη ητο ανηρ αγαθος και πληρης Πνευματος Αγιου και πιστεως? και προσετεθη εις τον Κυριον πληθος ικανον.
25 Then he went to Tarsus to look for Saul,	25 Τοτε εξηλθεν εις Ταρσον ο Βαρναβας, δια να αναζητηση τον Σαυλον,
26 and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a large number of people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians.	26 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.
27 At that time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch,	27 Εν εκειναις δε ταις ημεραις κατεβησαν απο Ιεροσολυμων προφηται εις Αντιοχειαν?
28 and one of them named Agabus stood up and predicted by the Spirit that there would be a severe famine all over the world, and it happened under Claudius.	28 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.
29 So the disciples determined that, according to ability, each should send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea.	29 Οθεν οι μαθηται απεφασισαν, εκαστος αυτων κατα την εαυτου καταστασιν, να πεμψωσι βοηθειαν προς τους αδελφους τους κατοικουντας εν τη Ιουδαια?
30 This they did, sending it to the presbyters in care of Barnabas and Saul.	30 το οποιον και εκαμον αποστειλαντες αυτην προς τους πρεσβυτερους δια χειρος Βαρναβα και Σαυλου.
