¹[] Ηκουσαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι αδελφοι οι οντες εν τη Ιουδαια οτι και τα εθνη εδεχθησαν τον λογον του Θεου.

¹Now the apostles and the brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

²Και οτε ανεβη ο Πετρος εις Ιεροσολυμα, εφιλονεικουν μετ' αυτου οι εκ περιτομης,

²When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

³λεγοντες οτι Εισηλθες προς ανθρωπους απεριτμητους και συνεφαγες μετ' αυτων.

³saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”

⁴Ο δε Πετρος ηρχισε και εξεθετε προς αυτους τα γενομενα κατα σειραν, λεγων·

⁴But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

⁵Εγω 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·

⁵“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.

⁶εις την οποιαν ατενισας παρετηρουν και ειδον τα τετραποδα της γης και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου.

⁶When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.

⁷Και ηκουσα φωνην λεγουσαν προς εμε· Σηκωθεις, Πετρε, σφαξον και φαγε.

⁷I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

⁸Και ειπον· Μη γενοιτο, Κυριε, διοτι ουδεν βεβηλον η ακαθαρτον εισηλθε ποτε εις το στομα μου.

⁸But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

⁹Και η φωνη μοι απεκριθη εκ δευτερου εκ του ουρανου· Οσα ο Θεος εκαθαρισε, συ μη λεγε βεβηλα.

⁹But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

¹⁰Εγεινε δε τουτο τρις, και παλιν ανεσυρθησαν απαντα εις τον ουρανον.

¹⁰This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹¹Και ιδου, τη αυτη ωρα τρεις ανθρωποι εφθασαν εις την οικιαν, εν η ημην, απεσταλμενοι προς εμε απο Καισαρειας.

¹¹Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

¹²Ειπε 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,

¹²The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.

¹³και 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,

¹³He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,

¹⁴οστις θελει λαλησει προς σε λογους, δι' ων θελεις σωθη συ και πας ο οικος σου.

¹⁴who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

¹⁵Και ενω ηρχισα να λαλω, το Πνευμα το Αγιον επηλθεν επ' αυτους καθως και εφ' ημας κατ' αρχας.

¹⁵As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

¹⁶Τοτε ενεθυμηθην τον λογον του Κυριου, οτι ελεγεν· Ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν εν υδατι, σεις ομως θελετε βαπτισθη εν Πνευματι Αγιω.

¹⁶I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’

¹⁷Εαν 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;

¹⁷If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”

¹⁸Ακουσαντες δε ταυτα ησυχασαν και εδοξαζον τον Θεον, λεγοντες· Και εις τα εθνη λοιπον εδωκεν ο Θεος την μετανοιαν εις ζωην.

¹⁸When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

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.

¹⁹They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

²⁰Ησαν δε τινες εξ αυτων ανδρες Κυπριοι και Κυρηναιοι, οιτινες εισελθοντες εις Αντιοχειαν, ελαλουν προς τους Ελληνιστας, ευαγγελιζομενοι τον Κυριον Ιησουν.

²⁰But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, A Hellenist is someone who keeps Greek customs and culture. preaching the Lord Jesus.

²¹Και ητο χειρ Κυριου μετ' αυτων, και πολυ πληθος πιστευσαντες επεστρεψαν εις τον Κυριον.

²¹The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

²²Ηκουσθη δε ο λογος περι αυτων εις τα ωτα της εκκλησιας της εν Ιεροσολυμοις, και εξαπεστειλαν τον Βαρναβαν, δια να περαση εως Αντιοχειας·

²²The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,

²³οστις ελθων και ιδων την χαριν του Θεου, εχαρη και παρεκινει παντας να εμμενωσιν εν σταθεροτητι καρδιας εις τον Κυριον,

²³who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

²⁴επειδη ητο ανηρ αγαθος και πληρης Πνευματος Αγιου και πιστεως· και προσετεθη εις τον Κυριον πληθος ικανον.

²⁴For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.

²⁵Τοτε εξηλθεν εις Ταρσον ο Βαρναβας, δια να αναζητηση τον Σαυλον,

²⁵Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.

²⁶και 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.

²⁶When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

²⁷[] Εν εκειναις δε ταις ημεραις κατεβησαν απο Ιεροσολυμων προφηται εις Αντιοχειαν·

²⁷Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

²⁸σηκωθεις 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.

²⁸One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.

²⁹Οθεν οι μαθηται απεφασισαν, εκαστος αυτων κατα την εαυτου καταστασιν, να πεμψωσι βοηθειαν προς τους αδελφους τους κατοικουντας εν τη Ιουδαια·

²⁹As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

³⁰το οποιον και εκαμον αποστειλαντες αυτην προς τους πρεσβυτερους δια χειρος Βαρναβα και Σαυλου.

³⁰which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
