1κατ εκεινον δε τον καιρον επεβαλεν ηρωδησ ο βασιλευσ τασ χειρασ κακωσαι τινασ των απο τησ εκκλησιασ
1Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
2ανειλεν δε ιακωβον τον αδελφον ιωαννου μαχαιρα
2He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3και ιδων οτι αρεστον εστιν τοισ ιουδαιοισ προσεθετο συλλαβειν και πετρον ησαν δε αι ημεραι των αζυμων
3When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
4ον και πιασασ εθετο εισ φυλακην παραδουσ τεσσαρσιν τετραδιοισ στρατιωτων φυλασσειν αυτον βουλομενοσ μετα το πασχα αναγαγειν αυτον τω λαω
4When he had arrested him, he put him in prison and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
5ο μεν ουν πετροσ ετηρειτο εν τη φυλακη προσευχη δε ην εκτενησ γινομενη υπο τησ εκκλησιασ προσ τον θεον υπερ αυτου
5Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.
6οτε δε εμελλεν αυτον προαγειν ο ηρωδησ τη νυκτι εκεινη ην ο πετροσ κοιμωμενοσ μεταξυ δυο στρατιωτων δεδεμενοσ αλυσεσιν δυσιν φυλακεσ τε προ τησ θυρασ ετηρουν την φυλακην
6The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
7και ιδου αγγελοσ κυριου επεστη και φωσ ελαμψεν εν τω οικηματι παταξασ δε την πλευραν του πετρου ηγειρεν αυτον λεγων αναστα εν ταχει και εξεπεσον αυτου αι αλυσεισ εκ των χειρων
7And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Stand up quickly!” His chains fell off his hands.
8ειπεν τε ο αγγελοσ προσ αυτον περιζωσαι και υποδησαι τα σανδαλια σου εποιησεν δε ουτωσ και λεγει αυτω περιβαλου το ιματιον σου και ακολουθει μοι
8The angel said to him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” He did so. He said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.”
9και εξελθων ηκολουθει αυτω και ουκ ηδει οτι αληθεσ εστιν το γινομενον δια του αγγελου εδοκει δε οραμα βλεπειν
9And he went out and followed him. He didn’t know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
10διελθοντεσ δε πρωτην φυλακην και δευτεραν ηλθον επι την πυλην την σιδηραν την φερουσαν εισ την πολιν ητισ αυτοματη ηνοιχθη αυτοισ και εξελθοντεσ προηλθον ρυμην μιαν και ευθεωσ απεστη ο αγγελοσ απ αυτου
10When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
11και ο πετροσ γενομενοσ εν εαυτω ειπεν νυν οιδα αληθωσ οτι εξαπεστειλεν κυριοσ τον αγγελον αυτου και εξειλετο με εκ χειροσ ηρωδου και πασησ τησ προσδοκιασ του λαου των ιουδαιων
11When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”
12συνιδων τε ηλθεν επι την οικιαν μαριασ τησ μητροσ ιωαννου του επικαλουμενου μαρκου ου ησαν ικανοι συνηθροισμενοι και προσευχομενοι
12Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
13κρουσαντοσ δε του πετρου την θυραν του πυλωνοσ προσηλθεν παιδισκη υπακουσαι ονοματι ροδη
13When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14και επιγνουσα την φωνην του πετρου απο τησ χαρασ ουκ ηνοιξεν τον πυλωνα εισδραμουσα δε απηγγειλεν εσταναι τον πετρον προ του πυλωνοσ
14When she recognized Peter’s voice, she didn’t open the gate for joy, but ran in and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
15οι δε προσ αυτην ειπον μαινη η δε διισχυριζετο ουτωσ εχειν οι δε ελεγον ο αγγελοσ αυτου εστιν
15They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
16ο δε πετροσ επεμενεν κρουων ανοιξαντεσ δε ειδον αυτον και εξεστησαν
16But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him and were amazed.
17κατασεισασ δε αυτοισ τη χειρι σιγαν διηγησατο αυτοισ πωσ ο κυριοσ αυτον εξηγαγεν εκ τησ φυλακησ ειπεν δε απαγγειλατε ιακωβω και τοισ αδελφοισ ταυτα και εξελθων επορευθη εισ ετερον τοπον
17But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.” Then he departed and went to another place.
18γενομενησ δε ημερασ ην ταραχοσ ουκ ολιγοσ εν τοισ στρατιωταισ τι αρα ο πετροσ εγενετο
18Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
19ηρωδησ δε επιζητησασ αυτον και μη ευρων ανακρινασ τουσ φυλακασ εκελευσεν απαχθηναι και κατελθων απο τησ ιουδαιασ εισ την καισαρειαν διετριβεν
19When Herod had sought for him and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, then commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
20ην δε ο ηρωδησ θυμομαχων τυριοισ και σιδωνιοισ ομοθυμαδον δε παρησαν προσ αυτον και πεισαντεσ βλαστον τον επι του κοιτωνοσ του βασιλεωσ ητουντο ειρηνην δια το τρεφεσθαι αυτων την χωραν απο τησ βασιλικησ
20Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him and, having made Blastus, the king’s personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.
21τακτη δε ημερα ο ηρωδησ ενδυσαμενοσ εσθητα βασιλικην και καθισασ επι του βηματοσ εδημηγορει προσ αυτουσ
21On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
22ο δε δημοσ επεφωνει φωνη θεου και ουκ ανθρωπου
22The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
23παραχρημα δε επαταξεν αυτον αγγελοσ κυριου ανθ ων ουκ εδωκεν δοξαν τω θεω και γενομενοσ σκωληκοβρωτοσ εξεψυξεν
23Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.
24ο δε λογοσ του θεου ηυξανεν και επληθυνετο
24But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25βαρναβασ δε και σαυλοσ υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ πληρωσαντεσ την διακονιαν συμπαραλαβοντεσ και ιωαννην τον επικληθεντα μαρκον
25Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.
