King James Version with Apocrypha
Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And certain men which came down from Judæa taught the brethren, and said , Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
1και τινεσ κατελθοντεσ απο τησ ιουδαιασ εδιδασκον τουσ αδελφουσ οτι εαν μη περιτεμνησθε τω εθει μωυσεωσ ου δυνασθε σωθηναι
2When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
2γενομενησ ουν στασεωσ και ζητησεωσ ουκ ολιγησ τω παυλω και τω βαρναβα προσ αυτουσ εταξαν αναβαινειν παυλον και βαρναβαν και τινασ αλλουσ εξ αυτων προσ τουσ αποστολουσ και πρεσβυτερουσ εισ ιερουσαλημ περι του ζητηματοσ τουτου
3And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
3οι μεν ουν προπεμφθεντεσ υπο τησ εκκλησιασ διηρχοντο την φοινικην και σαμαρειαν εκδιηγουμενοι την επιστροφην των εθνων και εποιουν χαραν μεγαλην πασιν τοισ αδελφοισ
4And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
4παραγενομενοι δε εισ ιερουσαλημ απεδεχθησαν υπο τησ εκκλησιασ και των αποστολων και των πρεσβυτερων ανηγγειλαν τε οσα ο θεοσ εποιησεν μετ αυτων
5But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
5εξανεστησαν δε τινεσ των απο τησ αιρεσεωσ των φαρισαιων πεπιστευκοτεσ λεγοντεσ οτι δει περιτεμνειν αυτουσ παραγγελλειν τε τηρειν τον νομον μωυσεωσ
6¶ And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
6συνηχθησαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι πρεσβυτεροι ιδειν περι του λογου τουτου
7And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
7πολλησ δε συζητησεωσ γενομενησ αναστασ πετροσ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ανδρεσ αδελφοι υμεισ επιστασθε οτι αφ ημερων αρχαιων ο θεοσ εν ημιν εξελεξατο δια του στοματοσ μου ακουσαι τα εθνη τον λογον του ευαγγελιου και πιστευσαι
8And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
8και ο καρδιογνωστησ θεοσ εμαρτυρησεν αυτοισ δουσ αυτοισ το πνευμα το αγιον καθωσ και ημιν
9And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
9και ουδεν διεκρινεν μεταξυ ημων τε και αυτων τη πιστει καθαρισασ τασ καρδιασ αυτων
10Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
10νυν ουν τι πειραζετε τον θεον επιθειναι ζυγον επι τον τραχηλον των μαθητων ον ουτε οι πατερεσ ημων ουτε ημεισ ισχυσαμεν βαστασαι
11But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
11αλλα δια τησ χαριτοσ του κυριου ιησου πιστευομεν σωθηναι καθ ον τροπον κακεινοι
12¶ Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
12εσιγησεν δε παν το πληθοσ και ηκουον βαρναβα και παυλου εξηγουμενων οσα εποιησεν ο θεοσ σημεια και τερατα εν τοισ εθνεσιν δι αυτων
13¶ And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
13μετα δε το σιγησαι αυτουσ απεκριθη ιακωβοσ λεγων ανδρεσ αδελφοι ακουσατε μου
14Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
14συμεων εξηγησατο καθωσ πρωτον ο θεοσ επεσκεψατο λαβειν εξ εθνων λαον επι τω ονοματι αυτου
15And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
15και τουτω συμφωνουσιν οι λογοι των προφητων καθωσ γεγραπται
16After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
16μετα ταυτα αναστρεψω και ανοικοδομησω την σκηνην δαυιδ την πεπτωκυιαν και τα κατεσκαμμενα αυτησ ανοικοδομησω και ανορθωσω αυτην
17That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
17οπωσ αν εκζητησωσιν οι καταλοιποι των ανθρωπων τον κυριον και παντα τα εθνη εφ ουσ επικεκληται το ονομα μου επ αυτουσ λεγει κυριοσ ο ποιων ταυτα παντα
18Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
18γνωστα απ αιωνοσ εστιν τω θεω παντα τα εργα αυτου
19Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
19διο εγω κρινω μη παρενοχλειν τοισ απο των εθνων επιστρεφουσιν επι τον θεον
20But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
20αλλα επιστειλαι αυτοισ του απεχεσθαι απο των αλισγηματων των ειδωλων και τησ πορνειασ και του πνικτου και του αιματοσ
21For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
21μωυσησ γαρ εκ γενεων αρχαιων κατα πολιν τουσ κηρυσσοντασ αυτον εχει εν ταισ συναγωγαισ κατα παν σαββατον αναγινωσκομενοσ
22Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely , Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
22τοτε εδοξεν τοισ αποστολοισ και τοισ πρεσβυτεροισ συν ολη τη εκκλησια εκλεξαμενουσ ανδρασ εξ αυτων πεμψαι εισ αντιοχειαν συν παυλω και βαρναβα ιουδαν τον επικαλουμενον βαρσαββαν και σιλαν ανδρασ ηγουμενουσ εν τοισ αδελφοισ
23And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
23γραψαντεσ δια χειροσ αυτων ταδε οι αποστολοι και οι πρεσβυτεροι και οι αδελφοι τοισ κατα την αντιοχειαν και συριαν και κιλικιαν αδελφοισ τοισ εξ εθνων χαιρειν
24Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
24επειδη ηκουσαμεν οτι τινεσ εξ ημων εξελθοντεσ εταραξαν υμασ λογοισ ανασκευαζοντεσ τασ ψυχασ υμων λεγοντεσ περιτεμνεσθαι και τηρειν τον νομον οισ ου διεστειλαμεθα
25It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
25εδοξεν ημιν γενομενοισ ομοθυμαδον εκλεξαμενουσ ανδρασ πεμψαι προσ υμασ συν τοισ αγαπητοισ ημων βαρναβα και παυλω
26Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
26ανθρωποισ παραδεδωκοσιν τασ ψυχασ αυτων υπερ του ονοματοσ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
27We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
27απεσταλκαμεν ουν ιουδαν και σιλαν και αυτουσ δια λογου απαγγελλοντασ τα αυτα
28For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
28εδοξεν γαρ τω αγιω πνευματι και ημιν μηδεν πλεον επιτιθεσθαι υμιν βαροσ πλην των επαναγκεσ τουτων
29That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
29απεχεσθαι ειδωλοθυτων και αιματοσ και πνικτου και πορνειασ εξ ων διατηρουντεσ εαυτουσ ευ πραξετε ερρωσθε
30So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
30οι μεν ουν απολυθεντεσ ηλθον εισ αντιοχειαν και συναγαγοντεσ το πληθοσ επεδωκαν την επιστολην
31Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
31αναγνοντεσ δε εχαρησαν επι τη παρακλησει
32And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them .
32ιουδασ τε και σιλασ και αυτοι προφηται οντεσ δια λογου πολλου παρεκαλεσαν τουσ αδελφουσ και επεστηριξαν
33And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
33ποιησαντεσ δε χρονον απελυθησαν μετ ειρηνησ απο των αδελφων προσ τουσ αποστολουσ
34Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

35Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
35παυλοσ δε και βαρναβασ διετριβον εν αντιοχεια διδασκοντεσ και ευαγγελιζομενοι μετα και ετερων πολλων τον λογον του κυριου
36¶ And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
36μετα δε τινασ ημερασ ειπεν παυλοσ προσ βαρναβαν επιστρεψαντεσ δη επισκεψωμεθα τουσ αδελφουσ ημων κατα πασαν πολιν εν αισ κατηγγειλαμεν τον λογον του κυριου πωσ εχουσιν
37And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
37βαρναβασ δε εβουλευσατο συμπαραλαβειν τον ιωαννην τον καλουμενον μαρκον
38But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
38παυλοσ δε ηξιου τον αποσταντα απ αυτων απο παμφυλιασ και μη συνελθοντα αυτοισ εισ το εργον μη συμπαραλαβειν τουτον
39And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
39εγενετο ουν παροξυσμοσ ωστε αποχωρισθηναι αυτουσ απ αλληλων τον τε βαρναβαν παραλαβοντα τον μαρκον εκπλευσαι εισ κυπρον
40And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
40παυλοσ δε επιλεξαμενοσ σιλαν εξηλθεν παραδοθεισ τη χαριτι του θεου υπο των αδελφων
41And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
41διηρχετο δε την συριαν και κιλικιαν επιστηριζων τασ εκκλησιασ
