Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
1εν δε ταισ ημεραισ ταυταισ πληθυνοντων των μαθητων εγενετο γογγυσμοσ των ελληνιστων προσ τουσ εβραιουσ οτι παρεθεωρουντο εν τη διακονια τη καθημερινη αι χηραι αυτων
2Then the twelve calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
2προσκαλεσαμενοι δε οι δωδεκα το πληθοσ των μαθητων ειπον ουκ αρεστον εστιν ημασ καταλειψαντασ τον λογον του θεου διακονειν τραπεζαισ
3Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
3επισκεψασθε ουν αδελφοι ανδρασ εξ υμων μαρτυρουμενουσ επτα πληρεισ πνευματοσ αγιου και σοφιασ ουσ καταστησωμεν επι τησ χρειασ ταυτησ
4But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
4ημεισ δε τη προσευχη και τη διακονια του λογου προσκαρτερησομεν
5And the saying was liked by all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch.
5και ηρεσεν ο λογοσ ενωπιον παντοσ του πληθουσ και εξελεξαντο στεφανον ανδρα πληρησ πιστεωσ και πνευματοσ αγιου και φιλιππον και προχορον και νικανορα και τιμωνα και παρμεναν και νικολαον προσηλυτον αντιοχεα
6These they set before the apostles; and they praying, imposed hands upon them.
6ουσ εστησαν ενωπιον των αποστολων και προσευξαμενοι επεθηκαν αυτοισ τασ χειρασ
7And the word of the Lord increased; and the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly: a great multitude also of the priests obeyed the faith.
7και ο λογοσ του θεου ηυξανεν και επληθυνετο ο αριθμοσ των μαθητων εν ιερουσαλημ σφοδρα πολυσ τε οχλοσ των ιερεων υπηκουον τη πιστει
8And Stephen, full of grace and fortitude, did great wonders and signs among the people.
8στεφανοσ δε πληρησ πιστεωσ και δυναμεωσ εποιει τερατα και σημεια μεγαλα εν τω λαω
9Now there arose some of that which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them that were of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
9ανεστησαν δε τινεσ των εκ τησ συναγωγησ τησ λεγομενησ λιβερτινων και κυρηναιων και αλεξανδρεων και των απο κιλικιασ και ασιασ συζητουντεσ τω στεφανω
10And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit that spoke.
10και ουκ ισχυον αντιστηναι τη σοφια και τω πνευματι ω ελαλει
11Then they suborned men to say, they had heard him speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
11τοτε υπεβαλον ανδρασ λεγοντασ οτι ακηκοαμεν αυτου λαλουντοσ ρηματα βλασφημα εισ μωσην και τον θεον
12And they stirred up the people, and the ancients, and the scribes; and running together, they took him, and brought him to the council.
12συνεκινησαν τε τον λαον και τουσ πρεσβυτερουσ και τουσ γραμματεισ και επισταντεσ συνηρπασαν αυτον και ηγαγον εισ το συνεδριον
13And they set up false witnesses, who said: This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place and the law.
13εστησαν τε μαρτυρασ ψευδεισ λεγοντασ ο ανθρωποσ ουτοσ ου παυεται ρηματα βλασφημα λαλων κατα του τοπου του αγιου και του νομου
14For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the traditions which Moses delivered unto us.
14ακηκοαμεν γαρ αυτου λεγοντοσ οτι ιησουσ ο ναζωραιοσ ουτοσ καταλυσει τον τοπον τουτον και αλλαξει τα εθη α παρεδωκεν ημιν μωσησ
15And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel.
15και ατενισαντεσ εισ αυτον απαντεσ οι καθεζομενοι εν τω συνεδριω ειδον το προσωπον αυτου ωσει προσωπον αγγελου
