Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.
1ανηρ δε τισ ην εν καισαρεια ονοματι κορνηλιοσ εκατονταρχησ εκ σπειρησ τησ καλουμενησ ιταλικησ
2He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.
2ευσεβησ και φοβουμενοσ τον θεον συν παντι τω οικω αυτου ποιων τε ελεημοσυνασ πολλασ τω λαω και δεομενοσ του θεου δια παντοσ
3One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
3ειδεν εν οραματι φανερωσ ωσει ωραν ενατην τησ ημερασ αγγελον του θεου εισελθοντα προσ αυτον και ειποντα αυτω κορνηλιε
4Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.
4ο δε ατενισασ αυτω και εμφοβοσ γενομενοσ ειπεν τι εστιν κυριε ειπεν δε αυτω αι προσευχαι σου και αι ελεημοσυναι σου ανεβησαν εισ μνημοσυνον ενωπιον του θεου
5Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.
5και νυν πεμψον εισ ιοππην ανδρασ και μεταπεμψαι σιμωνα τον επικαλουμενον πετρον
6He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
6ουτοσ ξενιζεται παρα τινι σιμωνι βυρσει ω εστιν οικια παρα θαλασσαν
7When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
7ωσ δε απηλθεν ο αγγελοσ ο λαλων τω κορνηλιω φωνησασ δυο των οικετων αυτου και στρατιωτην ευσεβη των προσκαρτερουντων αυτω
8He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.
8και εξηγησαμενοσ αυτοισ απαντα απεστειλεν αυτουσ εισ την ιοππην
9The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
9τη δε επαυριον οδοιπορουντων εκεινων και τη πολει εγγιζοντων ανεβη πετροσ επι το δωμα προσευξασθαι περι ωραν εκτην
10He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
10εγενετο δε προσπεινοσ και ηθελεν γευσασθαι παρασκευαζοντων δε εκεινων επεπεσεν επ αυτον εκστασισ
11He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
11και θεωρει τον ουρανον ανεωγμενον και καταβαινον επ αυτον σκευοσ τι ωσ οθονην μεγαλην τεσσαρσιν αρχαισ δεδεμενον και καθιεμενον επι τησ γησ
12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.
12εν ω υπηρχεν παντα τα τετραποδα τησ γησ και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου
13Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”
13και εγενετο φωνη προσ αυτον αναστασ πετρε θυσον και φαγε
14“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
14ο δε πετροσ ειπεν μηδαμωσ κυριε οτι ουδεποτε εφαγον παν κοινον η ακαθαρτον
15The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
15και φωνη παλιν εκ δευτερου προσ αυτον α ο θεοσ εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου
16This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.
16τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρισ και παλιν ανεληφθη το σκευοσ εισ τον ουρανον
17While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.
17ωσ δε εν εαυτω διηπορει ο πετροσ τι αν ειη το οραμα ο ειδεν και ιδου οι ανδρεσ οι απεσταλμενοι απο του κορνηλιου διερωτησαντεσ την οικιαν σιμωνοσ επεστησαν επι τον πυλωνα
18They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.
18και φωνησαντεσ επυνθανοντο ει σιμων ο επικαλουμενοσ πετροσ ενθαδε ξενιζεται
19As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
19του δε πετρου διενθυμουμενου περι του οραματοσ ειπεν αυτω το πνευμα ιδου ανδρεσ ζητουσιν σε
20So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”
20αλλα αναστασ καταβηθι και πορευου συν αυτοισ μηδεν διακρινομενοσ διοτι εγω απεσταλκα αυτουσ
21So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
21καταβασ δε πετροσ προσ τουσ ανδρασ ειπεν ιδου εγω ειμι ον ζητειτε τισ η αιτια δι ην παρεστε
22“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”
22οι δε ειπον κορνηλιοσ εκατονταρχησ ανηρ δικαιοσ και φοβουμενοσ τον θεον μαρτυρουμενοσ τε υπο ολου του εθνουσ των ιουδαιων εχρηματισθη υπο αγγελου αγιου μεταπεμψασθαι σε εισ τον οικον αυτου και ακουσαι ρηματα παρα σου
23So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.
23εισκαλεσαμενοσ ουν αυτουσ εξενισεν τη δε επαυριον ο πετροσ εξηλθεν συν αυτοισ και τινεσ των αδελφων των απο ιοππησ συνηλθον αυτω
24The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
24και τη επαυριον εισηλθον εισ την καισαρειαν ο δε κορνηλιοσ ην προσδοκων αυτουσ συγκαλεσαμενοσ τουσ συγγενεισ αυτου και τουσ αναγκαιουσ φιλουσ
25As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.
25ωσ δε εγενετο του εισελθειν τον πετρον συναντησασ αυτω ο κορνηλιοσ πεσων επι τουσ ποδασ προσεκυνησεν
26But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
26ο δε πετροσ αυτον ηγειρεν λεγων αναστηθι καγω αυτοσ ανθρωποσ ειμι
27As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.
27και συνομιλων αυτω εισηλθεν και ευρισκει συνεληλυθοτασ πολλουσ
28He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.
28εφη τε προσ αυτουσ υμεισ επιστασθε ωσ αθεμιτον εστιν ανδρι ιουδαιω κολλασθαι η προσερχεσθαι αλλοφυλω και εμοι ο θεοσ εδειξεν μηδενα κοινον η ακαθαρτον λεγειν ανθρωπον
29So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”
29διο και αναντιρρητωσ ηλθον μεταπεμφθεισ πυνθανομαι ουν τινι λογω μετεπεμψασθε με
30Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me
30και ο κορνηλιοσ εφη απο τεταρτησ ημερασ μεχρι ταυτησ τησ ωρασ ημην νηστευων και την ενατην ωραν προσευχομενοσ εν τω οικω μου και ιδου ανηρ εστη ενωπιον μου εν εσθητι λαμπρα
31and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God.
31και φησιν κορνηλιε εισηκουσθη σου η προσευχη και αι ελεημοσυναι σου εμνησθησαν ενωπιον του θεου
32Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’
32πεμψον ουν εισ ιοππην και μετακαλεσαι σιμωνα οσ επικαλειται πετροσ ουτοσ ξενιζεται εν οικια σιμωνοσ βυρσεωσ παρα θαλασσαν οσ παραγενομενοσ λαλησει σοι
33So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”
33εξαυτησ ουν επεμψα προσ σε συ τε καλωσ εποιησασ παραγενομενοσ νυν ουν παντεσ ημεισ ενωπιον του θεου παρεσμεν ακουσαι παντα τα προστεταγμενα σοι υπο του θεου
34Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,
34ανοιξασ δε πετροσ το στομα ειπεν επ αληθειασ καταλαμβανομαι οτι ουκ εστιν προσωποληπτησ ο θεοσ
35but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.
35αλλ εν παντι εθνει ο φοβουμενοσ αυτον και εργαζομενοσ δικαιοσυνην δεκτοσ αυτω εστιν
36He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
36τον λογον ον απεστειλεν τοισ υιοισ ισραηλ ευαγγελιζομενοσ ειρηνην δια ιησου χριστου ουτοσ εστιν παντων κυριοσ
37You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed:
37υμεισ οιδατε το γενομενον ρημα καθ ολησ τησ ιουδαιασ αρξαμενον απο τησ γαλιλαιασ μετα το βαπτισμα ο εκηρυξεν ιωαννησ
38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.
38ιησουν τον απο ναζαρετ ωσ εχρισεν αυτον ο θεοσ πνευματι αγιω και δυναμει οσ διηλθεν ευεργετων και ιωμενοσ παντασ τουσ καταδυναστευομενουσ υπο του διαβολου οτι ο θεοσ ην μετ αυτου
39We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,
39και ημεισ εσμεν μαρτυρεσ παντων ων εποιησεν εν τε τη χωρα των ιουδαιων και εν ιερουσαλημ ον και ανειλον κρεμασαντεσ επι ξυλου
40God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—
40τουτον ο θεοσ ηγειρεν τη τριτη ημερα και εδωκεν αυτον εμφανη γενεσθαι
41not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
41ου παντι τω λαω αλλα μαρτυσιν τοισ προκεχειροτονημενοισ υπο του θεου ημιν οιτινεσ συνεφαγομεν και συνεπιομεν αυτω μετα το αναστηναι αυτον εκ νεκρων
42And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.
42και παρηγγειλεν ημιν κηρυξαι τω λαω και διαμαρτυρασθαι οτι αυτοσ εστιν ο ωρισμενοσ υπο του θεου κριτησ ζωντων και νεκρων
43All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
43τουτω παντεσ οι προφηται μαρτυρουσιν αφεσιν αμαρτιων λαβειν δια του ονοματοσ αυτου παντα τον πιστευοντα εισ αυτον
44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.
44ετι λαλουντοσ του πετρου τα ρηματα ταυτα επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επι παντασ τουσ ακουοντασ τον λογον
45All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.
45και εξεστησαν οι εκ περιτομησ πιστοι οσοι συνηλθον τω πετρω οτι και επι τα εθνη η δωρεα του αγιου πνευματοσ εκκεχυται
46For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,
46ηκουον γαρ αυτων λαλουντων γλωσσαισ και μεγαλυνοντων τον θεον τοτε απεκριθη ο πετροσ
47“Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”
47μητι το υδωρ κωλυσαι δυναται τισ του μη βαπτισθηναι τουτουσ οιτινεσ το πνευμα το αγιον ελαβον καθωσ και ημεισ
48So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
48προσεταξεν τε αυτουσ βαπτισθηναι εν τω ονοματι του κυριου τοτε ηρωτησαν αυτον επιμειναι ημερασ τινασ
