1Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
1[] Κατ' εκεινον δε τον καιρον επεχειρησεν Ηρωδης ο βασιλευς να κακοποιηση τινας απο της εκκλησιας.
2And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
2Εφονευσε δε δια μαχαιρας Ιακωβον τον αδελφον του Ιωαννου.
3And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
3Και ιδων οτι ητο αρεστον εις τους Ιουδαιους, προσεθεσε να συλλαβη και τον Πετρον· ησαν δε αι ημεραι των αζυμων·
4And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
4τον οποιον και πιασας εβαλεν εις φυλακην, παραδωσας αυτον εις τεσσαρας τετραδας στρατιωτων δια να φυλαττωσιν αυτον, θελων μετα το πασχα να παραστηση αυτον εις τον λαον.
5Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
5[] Ο μεν λοιπον Πετρος εφυλαττετο εν τη φυλακη· εγινετο δε υπο της εκκλησιας ακαταπαυστος προσευχη προς τον Θεον υπερ αυτου.
6And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
6Οτε δε εμελλεν ο Ηρωδης να παραστηση αυτον, την νυκτα εκεινην ο Πετρος εκοιματο μεταξυ δυο στρατιωτων δεδεμενος με δυο αλυσεις, και φυλακες εμπροσθεν της θυρας εφυλαττον το δεσμωτηριον.
7And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
7Και ιδου, αγγελος Κυριου ηλθεν εξαιφνης και φως ελαμψεν εν τω οικηματι· κτυπησας δε την πλευραν του Πετρου εξυπνησεν αυτον, λεγων· Σηκωθητι ταχεως. Και επεσον αι αλυσεις αυτου εκ των χειρων.
8And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
8Και ειπεν ο αγγελος προς αυτον· Περιζωσθητι και υποδησον τα σανδαλια σου. Και εκαμεν ουτω. Και λεγει προς αυτον· Φορεσον το ιματιον σου και ακολουθει μοι.
9And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
9Και εξελθων ηκολουθει αυτον, και δεν ηξευρεν οτι το γινομενον δια του αγγελου ητο αληθινον, αλλ' ενομιζεν οτι βλεπει οραμα.
10When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
10Αφου δε επερασαν πρωτην και δευτεραν φρουραν, ηλθον εις την πυλην την σιδηραν την φερουσαν εις την πολιν, ητις αφ' εαυτης ηνοιχθη εις αυτους, και εξελθοντες διεπερασαν οδον μιαν, και ευθυς ο αγγελος ανεχωρησεν απ' αυτου.
11And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
11Και ο Πετρος συνελθων εις εαυτον, ειπε· Τωρα γνωριζω αληθως οτι Κυριος εξαπεστειλε τον αγγελον αυτου και με ηλευθερωσεν εκ της χειρος του Ηρωδου και ολης της ελπιδος του λαου των Ιουδαιων.
12And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
12Και αφου εσκεφθη, ηλθεν εις την οικιαν Μαριας της μητρος του Ιωαννου του επονομαζομενου Μαρκου, οπου ησαν ικανοι συνηθροισμενοι και προσευχομενοι.
13And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
13Οτε δε ο Πετρος εκρουσε την θυραν του προαυλιου, προσηλθε θεραπαινα ονομαζομενη Ροδη, δια να ακουση,
14And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
14και γνωρισασα την φωνην του Πετρου απο της χαρας δεν ηνοιξε την πυλην, αλλ' ετρεξε και απηγγειλεν οτι ο Πετρος ισταται εμπροσθεν της πυλης.
15And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
15Οι δε ειπον προς αυτην· Παραφρονεις. Εκεινη ομως διισχυριζετο οτι ουτως εχει. Οι δε ελεγον· Ο αγγελος αυτου ειναι.
16But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
16Ο δε Πετρος επεμενε κρουων. Και ανοιξαντες ειδον αυτον και εξεπλαγησαν.
17But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
17Και σεισας εις αυτους την χειρα δια να σιωπησωσι, διηγηθη προς αυτους πως ο Κυριος εξηγαγεν αυτον εκ της φυλακης, και ειπεν· Απαγγειλατε ταυτα προς τον Ιακωβον και τους αδελφους. Και εξελθων υπηγεν εις αλλον τοπον.
18Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
18Αφου δε εξημερωσεν, ητο ταραχη ουκ ολιγη μεταξυ των στρατιωτων τι αρα εγεινεν ο Πετρος.
19And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
19Ο δε Ηρωδης, αφου εζητησεν αυτον και δεν ευρεν, ανακρινας τους φυλακας προσεταξε να θανατωθωσι, και καταβας απο της Ιουδαιας εις την Καισαρειαν, διετριβεν εκει.
20And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.
20[] Ητο δε ο Ηρωδης σφοδρα ωργισμενος κατα των Τυριων και Σιδωνιων· ηλθον δε προς αυτον ομοθυμαδον, και πεισαντες τον Βλαστον τον επι του κοιτωνος του βασιλεως, εζητουν ειρηνην, διοτι ο τοπος αυτων ετρεφετο απο του βασιλικου.
21And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
21Και εν ημερα ωρισμενη ενδυθεις ο Ηρωδης βασιλικην στολην και καθησας επι του θρονου, εδημηγορει προς αυτους.
22And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
22Ο δε λαος επεφωνει· Θεου φωνη και ουχι ανθρωπου.
23And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
23Και παρευθυς επαταξεν αυτον αγγελος Κυριου, διοτι δεν εδωκε την δοξαν εις τον Θεον, και γενομενος σκωληκοβρωτος εξεψυχησεν.
24But the word of God grew and multiplied.
24Ο δε λογος του Θεου ηυξανε και επληθυνετο.
25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
25Ο δε Βαρναβας και ο Σαυλος υπεστρεψαν εξ Ιερουσαλημ αφου εξεπληρωσαν την διακονιαν αυτων, παραλαβοντες μεθ' εαυτων και τον Ιωαννην τον επονομασθεντα Μαρκον.
