Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
1ο δε σαυλοσ ετι εμπνεων απειλησ και φονου εισ τουσ μαθητασ του κυριου προσελθων τω αρχιερει
2And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and women of this way, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
2ητησατο παρ αυτου επιστολασ εισ δαμασκον προσ τασ συναγωγασ οπωσ εαν τινασ ευρη τησ οδου οντασ ανδρασ τε και γυναικασ δεδεμενουσ αγαγη εισ ιερουσαλημ
3And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus; and suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him.
3εν δε τω πορευεσθαι εγενετο αυτον εγγιζειν τη δαμασκω και εξαιφνησ περιηστραψεν αυτον φωσ απο του ουρανου
4And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
4και πεσων επι την γην ηκουσεν φωνην λεγουσαν αυτω σαουλ σαουλ τι με διωκεισ
5Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
5ειπεν δε τισ ει κυριε ο δε κυριοσ ειπεν εγω ειμι ιησουσ ον συ διωκεισ
6And he trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
6αλλα αναστηθι και εισελθε εισ την πολιν και λαληθησεται σοι τι σε δει ποιειν
7And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the city, and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company with him, stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no man.
7οι δε ανδρεσ οι συνοδευοντεσ αυτω ειστηκεισαν ενεοι ακουοντεσ μεν τησ φωνησ μηδενα δε θεωρουντεσ
8And Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus.
8ηγερθη δε ο σαυλοσ απο τησ γησ ανεωγμενων τε των οφθαλμων αυτου ουδενα εβλεπεν χειραγωγουντεσ δε αυτον εισηγαγον εισ δαμασκον
9And he was there three days, without sight, and he did neither eat nor drink.
9και ην ημερασ τρεισ μη βλεπων και ουκ εφαγεν ουδε επιεν
10Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. And he said: Behold I am here, Lord.
10ην δε τισ μαθητησ εν δαμασκω ονοματι ανανιασ και ειπεν προσ αυτον ο κυριοσ εν οραματι ανανια ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω κυριε
11And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Stait, and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth.
11ο δε κυριοσ προσ αυτον αναστασ πορευθητι επι την ρυμην την καλουμενην ευθειαν και ζητησον εν οικια ιουδα σαυλον ονοματι ταρσεα ιδου γαρ προσευχεται
12(And he saw a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.)
12και ειδεν εν οραματι ανδρα ονοματι ανανιαν εισελθοντα και επιθεντα αυτω χειρα οπωσ αναβλεψη
13But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem.
13απεκριθη δε ανανιασ κυριε ακηκοα απο πολλων περι του ανδροσ τουτου οσα κακα εποιησεν τοισ αγιοισ σου εν ιερουσαλημ
14And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name.
14και ωδε εχει εξουσιαν παρα των αρχιερεων δησαι παντασ τουσ επικαλουμενουσ το ονομα σου
15And the Lord said to him: Go thy way; for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.
15ειπεν δε προσ αυτον ο κυριοσ πορευου οτι σκευοσ εκλογησ μοι εστιν ουτοσ του βαστασαι το ονομα μου ενωπιον εθνων και βασιλεων υιων τε ισραηλ
16For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
16εγω γαρ υποδειξω αυτω οσα δει αυτον υπερ του ονοματοσ μου παθειν
17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest; that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
17απηλθεν δε ανανιασ και εισηλθεν εισ την οικιαν και επιθεισ επ αυτον τασ χειρασ ειπεν σαουλ αδελφε ο κυριοσ απεσταλκεν με ο οφθεισ σοι εν τη οδω η ηρχου οπωσ αναβλεψησ και πλησθησ πνευματοσ αγιου
18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and rising up, he was baptized.
18και ευθεωσ απεπεσον απο των οφθαλμων αυτου ωσει λεπιδεσ ανεβλεψεν τε και αναστασ εβαπτισθη
19And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days.
19και λαβων τροφην ενισχυσεν εγενετο δε ο σαυλοσ μετα των εν δαμασκω μαθητων ημερασ τινασ
20And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
20και ευθεωσ εν ταισ συναγωγαισ εκηρυσσεν τον χριστον οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ του θεου
21And all that heard him, were astonished, and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name: and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?
21εξισταντο δε παντεσ οι ακουοντεσ και ελεγον ουχ ουτοσ εστιν ο πορθησασ εν ιερουσαλημ τουσ επικαλουμενουσ το ονομα τουτο και ωδε εισ τουτο εληλυθεν ινα δεδεμενουσ αυτουσ αγαγη επι τουσ αρχιερεισ
22But Saul increased much more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ.
22σαυλοσ δε μαλλον ενεδυναμουτο και συνεχυνεν τουσ ιουδαιουσ τουσ κατοικουντασ εν δαμασκω συμβιβαζων οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο χριστοσ
23And when many days were passed, the Jews consulted together to kill him.
23ωσ δε επληρουντο ημεραι ικαναι συνεβουλευσαντο οι ιουδαιοι ανελειν αυτον
24But their laying in wait was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night, that they might kill him.
24εγνωσθη δε τω σαυλω η επιβουλη αυτων παρετηρουν τε τασ πυλασ ημερασ τε και νυκτοσ οπωσ αυτον ανελωσιν
25But the disciples taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down in a basket.
25λαβοντεσ δε αυτον οι μαθηται νυκτοσ καθηκαν δια του τειχουσ χαλασαντεσ εν σπυριδι
26And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples; and they all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
26παραγενομενοσ δε ο σαυλοσ εν ιερουσαλημ επειρατο κολλασθαι τοισ μαθηταισ και παντεσ εφοβουντο αυτον μη πιστευοντεσ οτι εστιν μαθητησ
27But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him; and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus.
27βαρναβασ δε επιλαβομενοσ αυτον ηγαγεν προσ τουσ αποστολουσ και διηγησατο αυτοισ πωσ εν τη οδω ειδεν τον κυριον και οτι ελαλησεν αυτω και πωσ εν δαμασκω επαρρησιασατο εν τω ονοματι του ιησου
28And he was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, and dealing confidently in the name of the Lord.
28και ην μετ αυτων εισπορευομενοσ εισ ιερουσαλημ και παρρησιαζομενοσ εν τω ονοματι του κυριου ιησου
29He spoke also to the Gentiles, and disputed with the Greeks; but they sought to kill him.
29ελαλει τε και συνεζητει προσ τουσ ελληνιστασ οι δε επεχειρουν αυτον ανελειν
30Which when the brethren had known, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
30επιγνοντεσ δε οι αδελφοι κατηγαγον αυτον εισ καισαρειαν και εξαπεστειλαν αυτον εισ ταρσον
31Now the church had peace throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria; and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord, and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost.
31αι μεν ουν εκκλησιαι καθ ολησ τησ ιουδαιασ και γαλιλαιασ και σαμαρειασ ειχον ειρηνην οικοδομουμεναι και πορευομεναι τω φοβω του κυριου και τη παρακλησει του αγιου πνευματοσ επληθυνοντο
32And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
32εγενετο δε πετρον διερχομενον δια παντων κατελθειν και προσ τουσ αγιουσ τουσ κατοικουντασ λυδδαν
33And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy.
33ευρεν δε εκει ανθρωπον τινα αινεαν ονοματι εξ ετων οκτω κατακειμενον επι κραββατω οσ ην παραλελυμενοσ
34And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And immediately he arose.
34και ειπεν αυτω ο πετροσ αινεα ιαται σε ιησουσ ο χριστοσ αναστηθι και στρωσον σεαυτω και ευθεωσ ανεστη
35And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him: who were converted to the Lord.
35και ειδον αυτον παντεσ οι κατοικουντεσ λυδδαν και τον ασσαρωνα οιτινεσ επεστρεψαν επι τον κυριον
36And in Joppe there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
36εν ιοππη δε τισ ην μαθητρια ονοματι ταβηθα η διερμηνευομενη λεγεται δορκασ αυτη ην πληρησ αγαθων εργων και ελεημοσυνων ων εποιει
37And it came to pass in those days that she was sick, and died. Whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
37εγενετο δε εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ ασθενησασαν αυτην αποθανειν λουσαντεσ δε αυτην εθηκαν εν υπερωω
38And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them.
38εγγυσ δε ουσησ λυδδησ τη ιοππη οι μαθηται ακουσαντεσ οτι πετροσ εστιν εν αυτη απεστειλαν προσ αυτον παρακαλουντεσ μη οκνησαι διελθειν εωσ αυτων
39And Peter rising up, went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made them.
39αναστασ δε πετροσ συνηλθεν αυτοισ ον παραγενομενον ανηγαγον εισ το υπερωον και παρεστησαν αυτω πασαι αι χηραι κλαιουσαι και επιδεικνυμεναι χιτωνασ και ιματια οσα εποιει μετ αυτων ουσα η δορκασ
40And they all being put forth, Peter kneeling down prayed, and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.
40εκβαλων δε εξω παντασ ο πετροσ θεισ τα γονατα προσηυξατο και επιστρεψασ προσ το σωμα ειπεν ταβηθα αναστηθι η δε ηνοιξεν τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτησ και ιδουσα τον πετρον ανεκαθισεν
41And giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
41δουσ δε αυτη χειρα ανεστησεν αυτην φωνησασ δε τουσ αγιουσ και τασ χηρασ παρεστησεν αυτην ζωσαν
42And it was made known throughout all Joppe; and many believed in the Lord.
42γνωστον δε εγενετο καθ ολησ τησ ιοππησ και πολλοι επιστευσαν επι τον κυριον
43And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner.
43εγενετο δε ημερασ ικανασ μειναι αυτον εν ιοππη παρα τινι σιμωνι βυρσει
