Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
1τον μεν πρωτον λογον εποιησαμην περι παντων ω θεοφιλε ων ηρξατο ο ιησουσ ποιειν τε και διδασκειν
2until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
2αχρι ησ ημερασ εντειλαμενοσ τοισ αποστολοισ δια πνευματοσ αγιου ουσ εξελεξατο ανεληφθη
3After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
3οισ και παρεστησεν εαυτον ζωντα μετα το παθειν αυτον εν πολλοισ τεκμηριοισ δι ημερων τεσσαρακοντα οπτανομενοσ αυτοισ και λεγων τα περι τησ βασιλειασ του θεου
4And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
4και συναλιζομενοσ παρηγγειλεν αυτοισ απο ιεροσολυμων μη χωριζεσθαι αλλα περιμενειν την επαγγελιαν του πατροσ ην ηκουσατε μου
5For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
5οτι ιωαννησ μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεισ δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν πνευματι αγιω ου μετα πολλασ ταυτασ ημερασ
6So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
6οι μεν ουν συνελθοντεσ επηρωτων αυτον λεγοντεσ κυριε ει εν τω χρονω τουτω αποκαθιστανεισ την βασιλειαν τω ισραηλ
7Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
7ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ ουχ υμων εστιν γνωναι χρονουσ η καιρουσ ουσ ο πατηρ εθετο εν τη ιδια εξουσια
8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
8αλλα ληψεσθε δυναμιν επελθοντοσ του αγιου πνευματοσ εφ υμασ και εσεσθε μοι μαρτυρεσ εν τε ιερουσαλημ και εν παση τη ιουδαια και σαμαρεια και εωσ εσχατου τησ γησ
9After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
9και ταυτα ειπων βλεποντων αυτων επηρθη και νεφελη υπελαβεν αυτον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων
10They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
10και ωσ ατενιζοντεσ ησαν εισ τον ουρανον πορευομενου αυτου και ιδου ανδρεσ δυο παρειστηκεισαν αυτοισ εν εσθητι λευκη
11“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
11οι και ειπον ανδρεσ γαλιλαιοι τι εστηκατε εμβλεποντεσ εισ τον ουρανον ουτοσ ο ιησουσ ο αναληφθεισ αφ υμων εισ τον ουρανον ουτωσ ελευσεται ον τροπον εθεασασθε αυτον πορευομενον εισ τον ουρανον
12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
12τοτε υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ απο ορουσ του καλουμενου ελαιωνοσ ο εστιν εγγυσ ιερουσαλημ σαββατου εχον οδον
13When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
13και οτε εισηλθον ανεβησαν εισ το υπερωον ου ησαν καταμενοντεσ ο τε πετροσ και ιακωβοσ και ιωαννησ και ανδρεασ φιλιπποσ και θωμασ βαρθολομαιοσ και ματθαιοσ ιακωβοσ αλφαιου και σιμων ο ζηλωτησ και ιουδασ ιακωβου
14With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
14ουτοι παντεσ ησαν προσκαρτερουντεσ ομοθυμαδον τη προσευχη και τη δεησει συν γυναιξιν και μαρια τη μητρι του ιησου και συν τοισ αδελφοισ αυτου
15In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
15και εν ταισ ημεραισ ταυταισ αναστασ πετροσ εν μεσω των μαθητων ειπεν ην τε οχλοσ ονοματων επι το αυτο ωσ εκατον εικοσι
16“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.
16ανδρεσ αδελφοι εδει πληρωθηναι την γραφην ταυτην ην προειπεν το πνευμα το αγιον δια στοματοσ δαυιδ περι ιουδα του γενομενου οδηγου τοισ συλλαβουσιν τον ιησουν
17He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
17οτι κατηριθμημενοσ ην συν ημιν και ελαχεν τον κληρον τησ διακονιασ ταυτησ
18(Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
18ουτοσ μεν ουν εκτησατο χωριον εκ μισθου τησ αδικιασ και πρηνησ γενομενοσ ελακησεν μεσοσ και εξεχυθη παντα τα σπλαγχνα αυτου
19This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
19και γνωστον εγενετο πασιν τοισ κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ ωστε κληθηναι το χωριον εκεινο τη ιδια διαλεκτω αυτων ακελδαμα τουτ εστιν χωριον αιματοσ
20“For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’
20γεγραπται γαρ εν βιβλω ψαλμων γενηθητω η επαυλισ αυτου ερημοσ και μη εστω ο κατοικων εν αυτη και την επισκοπην αυτου λαβοι ετεροσ
21Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
21δει ουν των συνελθοντων ημιν ανδρων εν παντι χρονω εν ω εισηλθεν και εξηλθεν εφ ημασ ο κυριοσ ιησουσ
22beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
22αρξαμενοσ απο του βαπτισματοσ ιωαννου εωσ τησ ημερασ ησ ανεληφθη αφ ημων μαρτυρα τησ αναστασεωσ αυτου γενεσθαι συν ημιν ενα τουτων
23So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
23και εστησαν δυο ιωσηφ τον καλουμενον βαρσαβαν οσ επεκληθη ιουστοσ και ματθιαν
24And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
24και προσευξαμενοι ειπον συ κυριε καρδιογνωστα παντων αναδειξον ον εξελεξω εκ τουτων των δυο ενα
25to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
25λαβειν τον κληρον τησ διακονιασ ταυτησ και αποστολησ εξ ησ παρεβη ιουδασ πορευθηναι εισ τον τοπον τον ιδιον
26Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
26και εδωκαν κληρουσ αυτων και επεσεν ο κληροσ επι ματθιαν και συγκατεψηφισθη μετα των ενδεκα αποστολων
