Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
1ηκουσαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι αδελφοι οι οντεσ κατα την ιουδαιαν οτι και τα εθνη εδεξαντο τον λογον του θεου
2So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him
2και οτε ανεβη πετροσ εισ ιεροσολυμα διεκρινοντο προσ αυτον οι εκ περιτομησ
3and said, “You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them.”
3λεγοντεσ οτι προσ ανδρασ ακροβυστιαν εχοντασ εισηλθεσ και συνεφαγεσ αυτοισ
4But Peter began and explained to them the whole sequence of events:
4αρξαμενοσ δε ο πετροσ εξετιθετο αυτοισ καθεξησ λεγων
5“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me.
5εγω ημην εν πολει ιοππη προσευχομενοσ και ειδον εν εκστασει οραμα καταβαινον σκευοσ τι ωσ οθονην μεγαλην τεσσαρσιν αρχαισ καθιεμενην εκ του ουρανου και ηλθεν αχρι εμου
6I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.
6εισ ην ατενισασ κατενοουν και ειδον τα τετραποδα τησ γησ και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου
7Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’
7ηκουσα δε φωνησ λεγουσησ μοι αναστασ πετρε θυσον και φαγε
8‘No, Lord,’ I said, ‘for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
8ειπον δε μηδαμωσ κυριε οτι παν κοινον η ακαθαρτον ουδεποτε εισηλθεν εισ το στομα μου
9But the voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’
9απεκριθη δε μοι φωνη εκ δευτερου εκ του ουρανου α ο θεοσ εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου
10This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.
10τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρισ και παλιν ανεσπασθη απαντα εισ τον ουρανον
11Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.
11και ιδου εξαυτησ τρεισ ανδρεσ επεστησαν επι την οικιαν εν η ημην απεσταλμενοι απο καισαρειασ προσ με
12The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s home.
12ειπεν δε μοι το πνευμα συνελθειν αυτοισ μηδεν διακρινομενον ηλθον δε συν εμοι και οι εξ αδελφοι ουτοι και εισηλθομεν εισ τον οικον του ανδροσ
13He told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.
13απηγγειλεν τε ημιν πωσ ειδεν τον αγγελον εν τω οικω αυτου σταθεντα και ειποντα αυτω αποστειλον εισ ιοππην ανδρασ και μεταπεμψαι σιμωνα τον επικαλουμενον πετρον
14He will convey to you a message by which you and all your household will be saved.’
14οσ λαλησει ρηματα προσ σε εν οισ σωθηση συ και πασ ο οικοσ σου
15As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He had fallen upon us at the beginning.
15εν δε τω αρξασθαι με λαλειν επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επ αυτουσ ωσπερ και εφ ημασ εν αρχη
16Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as He used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
16εμνησθην δε του ρηματοσ κυριου ωσ ελεγεν ιωαννησ μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεισ δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν πνευματι αγιω
17So if God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder the work of God?”
17ει ουν την ισην δωρεαν εδωκεν αυτοισ ο θεοσ ωσ και ημιν πιστευσασιν επι τον κυριον ιησουν χριστον εγω δε τισ ημην δυνατοσ κωλυσαι τον θεον
18When they heard this, their objections were put to rest, and they glorified God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”
18ακουσαντεσ δε ταυτα ησυχασαν και εδοξαζον τον θεον λεγοντεσ αρα γε και τοισ εθνεσιν ο θεοσ την μετανοιαν εδωκεν εισ ζωην
19Meanwhile those scattered by the persecution that began with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the message only to Jews.
19οι μεν ουν διασπαρεντεσ απο τησ θλιψεωσ τησ γενομενησ επι στεφανω διηλθον εωσ φοινικησ και κυπρου και αντιοχειασ μηδενι λαλουντεσ τον λογον ει μη μονον ιουδαιοισ
20But some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.
20ησαν δε τινεσ εξ αυτων ανδρεσ κυπριοι και κυρηναιοι οιτινεσ εισελθοντεσ εισ αντιοχειαν ελαλουν προσ τουσ ελληνιστασ ευαγγελιζομενοι τον κυριον ιησουν
21The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
21και ην χειρ κυριου μετ αυτων πολυσ τε αριθμοσ πιστευσασ επεστρεψεν επι τον κυριον
22When news of this reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
22ηκουσθη δε ο λογοσ εισ τα ωτα τησ εκκλησιασ τησ εν ιεροσολυμοισ περι αυτων και εξαπεστειλαν βαρναβαν διελθειν εωσ αντιοχειασ
23When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to abide in the Lord with all their hearts.
23οσ παραγενομενοσ και ιδων την χαριν του θεου εχαρη και παρεκαλει παντασ τη προθεσει τησ καρδιασ προσμενειν τω κυριω
24Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
24οτι ην ανηρ αγαθοσ και πληρησ πνευματοσ αγιου και πιστεωσ και προσετεθη οχλοσ ικανοσ τω κυριω
25Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
25εξηλθεν δε εισ ταρσον ο βαρναβασ αναζητησαι σαυλον
26and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.
26και ευρων ηγαγεν αυτον εισ αντιοχειαν εγενετο δε αυτουσ ενιαυτον ολον συναχθηναι τη εκκλησια και διδαξαι οχλον ικανον χρηματισαι τε πρωτον εν αντιοχεια τουσ μαθητασ χριστιανουσ
27In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
27εν ταυταισ δε ταισ ημεραισ κατηλθον απο ιεροσολυμων προφηται εισ αντιοχειαν
28One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted through the Spirit that a great famine would sweep across the whole world. (This happened under Claudius.)
28αναστασ δε εισ εξ αυτων ονοματι αγαβοσ εσημανεν δια του πνευματοσ λιμον μεγαν μελλειν εσεσθαι εφ ολην την οικουμενην οστισ και εγενετο επι κλαυδιου καισαροσ
29So the disciples, each according to his ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.
29των δε μαθητων καθωσ ευπορειτο τισ ωρισαν εκαστοσ αυτων εισ διακονιαν πεμψαι τοισ κατοικουσιν εν τη ιουδαια αδελφοισ
30This they did, sending their gifts to the elders with Barnabas and Saul.
30ο και εποιησαν αποστειλαντεσ προσ τουσ πρεσβυτερουσ δια χειροσ βαρναβα και σαυλου
