Berean Standard Bible
1σαυλοσ δε ην συνευδοκων τη αναιρεσει αυτου εγενετο δε εν εκεινη τη ημερα διωγμοσ μεγασ επι την εκκλησιαν την εν ιεροσολυμοισ παντεσ δε διεσπαρησαν κατα τασ χωρασ τησ ιουδαιασ και σαμαρειασ πλην των αποστολων
1And Saul was there, giving approval to Stephen’s death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
2συνεκομισαν δε τον στεφανον ανδρεσ ευλαβεισ και εποιησαντο κοπετον μεγαν επ αυτω
2God-fearing men buried Stephen and mourned deeply over him.
3σαυλοσ δε ελυμαινετο την εκκλησιαν κατα τουσ οικουσ εισπορευομενοσ συρων τε ανδρασ και γυναικασ παρεδιδου εισ φυλακην
3But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.
4οι μεν ουν διασπαρεντεσ διηλθον ευαγγελιζομενοι τον λογον
4Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.
5φιλιπποσ δε κατελθων εισ πολιν τησ σαμαρειασ εκηρυσσεν αυτοισ τον χριστον
5Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them.
6προσειχον τε οι οχλοι τοισ λεγομενοισ υπο του φιλιππου ομοθυμαδον εν τω ακουειν αυτουσ και βλεπειν τα σημεια α εποιει
6The crowds gave their undivided attention to Philip’s message and to the signs they saw him perform.
7πολλων γαρ των εχοντων πνευματα ακαθαρτα βοωντα φωνη μεγαλη εξηρχετο πολλοι δε παραλελυμενοι και χωλοι εθεραπευθησαν
7With loud shrieks, unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, and many of the paralyzed and lame were healed.
8και εγενετο χαρα μεγαλη εν τη πολει εκεινη
8So there was great joy in that city.
9ανηρ δε τισ ονοματι σιμων προυπηρχεν εν τη πολει μαγευων και εξιστων το εθνοσ τησ σαμαρειασ λεγων ειναι τινα εαυτον μεγαν
9Prior to that time, a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and astounded the people of Samaria. He claimed to be someone great,
10ω προσειχον απο μικρου εωσ μεγαλου λεγοντεσ ουτοσ εστιν η δυναμισ του θεου η μεγαλη
10and all the people, from the least to the greatest, heeded his words and said, “This man is the divine power called the Great Power.”
11προσειχον δε αυτω δια το ικανω χρονω ταισ μαγειαισ εξεστακεναι αυτουσ
11They paid close attention to him because he had astounded them for a long time with his sorcery.
12οτε δε επιστευσαν τω φιλιππω ευαγγελιζομενω τα περι τησ βασιλειασ του θεου και του ονοματοσ ιησου χριστου εβαπτιζοντο ανδρεσ τε και γυναικεσ
12But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13ο δε σιμων και αυτοσ επιστευσεν και βαπτισθεισ ην προσκαρτερων τω φιλιππω θεωρων τε δυναμεισ και σημεια γινομενα εξιστατο
13Even Simon himself believed and was baptized. He followed Philip closely and was astounded by the great signs and miracles he observed.
14ακουσαντεσ δε οι εν ιεροσολυμοισ αποστολοι οτι δεδεκται η σαμαρεια τον λογον του θεου απεστειλαν προσ αυτουσ τον πετρον και ιωαννην
14When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.
15οιτινεσ καταβαντεσ προσηυξαντο περι αυτων οπωσ λαβωσιν πνευμα αγιον
15On their arrival, they prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.
16ουπω γαρ ην επ ουδενι αυτων επιπεπτωκοσ μονον δε βεβαπτισμενοι υπηρχον εισ το ονομα του χριστου ιησου
16For the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
17τοτε επετιθουν τασ χειρασ επ αυτουσ και ελαμβανον πνευμα αγιον
17Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18θεασαμενοσ δε ο σιμων οτι δια τησ επιθεσεωσ των χειρων των αποστολων διδοται το πνευμα το αγιον προσηνεγκεν αυτοισ χρηματα
18When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money.
19λεγων δοτε καμοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην ινα ω εαν επιθω τασ χειρασ λαμβανη πνευμα αγιον
19“Give me this power as well,” he said, “so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20πετροσ δε ειπεν προσ αυτον το αργυριον σου συν σοι ειη εισ απωλειαν οτι την δωρεαν του θεου ενομισασ δια χρηματων κτασθαι
20But Peter replied, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!
21ουκ εστιν σοι μερισ ουδε κληροσ εν τω λογω τουτω η γαρ καρδια σου ουκ εστιν ευθεια ενωπιον του θεου
21You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God.
22μετανοησον ουν απο τησ κακιασ σου ταυτησ και δεηθητι του θεου ει αρα αφεθησεται σοι η επινοια τησ καρδιασ σου
22Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart.
23εισ γαρ χολην πικριασ και συνδεσμον αδικιασ ορω σε οντα
23For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and captive to iniquity.”
24αποκριθεισ δε ο σιμων ειπεν δεηθητε υμεισ υπερ εμου προσ τον κυριον οπωσ μηδεν επελθη επ εμε ων ειρηκατε
24Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me, so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
25οι μεν ουν διαμαρτυραμενοι και λαλησαντεσ τον λογον του κυριου υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ πολλασ τε κωμασ των σαμαρειτων ευηγγελισαντο
25And after Peter and John had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many of the Samaritan villages.
26αγγελοσ δε κυριου ελαλησεν προσ φιλιππον λεγων αναστηθι και πορευου κατα μεσημβριαν επι την οδον την καταβαινουσαν απο ιερουσαλημ εισ γαζαν αυτη εστιν ερημοσ
26Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Get up and go south to the desert road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
27και αναστασ επορευθη και ιδου ανηρ αιθιοψ ευνουχοσ δυναστησ κανδακησ τησ βασιλισσησ αιθιοπων οσ ην επι πασησ τησ γαζησ αυτησ οσ εληλυθει προσκυνησων εισ ιερουσαλημ
27So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official in charge of the entire treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship,
28ην τε υποστρεφων και καθημενοσ επι του αρματοσ αυτου και ανεγινωσκεν τον προφητην ησαιαν
28and on his return was sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet.
29ειπεν δε το πνευμα τω φιλιππω προσελθε και κολληθητι τω αρματι τουτω
29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go over to that chariot and stay by it.”
30προσδραμων δε ο φιλιπποσ ηκουσεν αυτου αναγινωσκοντοσ τον προφητην ησαιαν και ειπεν αρα γε γινωσκεισ α αναγινωσκεισ
30So Philip ran up and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
31ο δε ειπεν πωσ γαρ αν δυναιμην εαν μη τισ οδηγηση με παρεκαλεσεν τε τον φιλιππον αναβαντα καθισαι συν αυτω
31“How can I,” he said, “unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32η δε περιοχη τησ γραφησ ην ανεγινωσκεν ην αυτη ωσ προβατον επι σφαγην ηχθη και ωσ αμνοσ εναντιον του κειροντοσ αυτον αφωνοσ ουτωσ ουκ ανοιγει το στομα αυτου
32The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.
33εν τη ταπεινωσει αυτου η κρισισ αυτου ηρθη την δε γενεαν αυτου τισ διηγησεται οτι αιρεται απο τησ γησ η ζωη αυτου
33In His humiliation He was deprived of justice. Who can recount His descendants? For His life was removed from the earth.”
34αποκριθεισ δε ο ευνουχοσ τω φιλιππω ειπεν δεομαι σου περι τινοσ ο προφητησ λεγει τουτο περι εαυτου η περι ετερου τινοσ
34“Tell me,” said the eunuch, “who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”
35ανοιξασ δε ο φιλιπποσ το στομα αυτου και αρξαμενοσ απο τησ γραφησ ταυτησ ευηγγελισατο αυτω τον ιησουν
35Then Philip began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
36ωσ δε επορευοντο κατα την οδον ηλθον επι τι υδωρ και φησιν ο ευνουχοσ ιδου υδωρ τι κωλυει με βαπτισθηναι
36As they traveled along the road and came to some water, the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is there to prevent me from being baptized?”
38και εκελευσεν στηναι το αρμα και κατεβησαν αμφοτεροι εισ το υδωρ ο τε φιλιπποσ και ο ευνουχοσ και εβαπτισεν αυτον
38And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
39οτε δε ανεβησαν εκ του υδατοσ πνευμα κυριου ηρπασεν τον φιλιππον και ουκ ειδεν αυτον ουκετι ο ευνουχοσ επορευετο γαρ την οδον αυτου χαιρων
39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.
40φιλιπποσ δε ευρεθη εισ αζωτον και διερχομενοσ ευηγγελιζετο τασ πολεισ πασασ εωσ του ελθειν αυτον εισ καισαρειαν
40But Philip appeared at Azotus and traveled through that region, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
