King James Version with Apocrypha
Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles.
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
2And devout men carried Stephen to his burial , and made great lamentation over him.
2συνεκομισαν δε τον στεφανον ανδρεσ ευλαβεισ και εποιησαντο κοπετον μεγαν επ αυτω
3As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
3σαυλοσ δε ελυμαινετο την εκκλησιαν κατα τουσ οικουσ εισπορευομενοσ συρων τε ανδρασ και γυναικασ παρεδιδου εισ φυλακην
4Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
4οι μεν ουν διασπαρεντεσ διηλθον ευαγγελιζομενοι τον λογον
5Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
5φιλιπποσ δε κατελθων εισ πολιν τησ σαμαρειασ εκηρυσσεν αυτοισ τον χριστον
6And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
6προσειχον τε οι οχλοι τοισ λεγομενοισ υπο του φιλιππου ομοθυμαδον εν τω ακουειν αυτουσ και βλεπειν τα σημεια α εποιει
7For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them : and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
7πολλων γαρ των εχοντων πνευματα ακαθαρτα βοωντα φωνη μεγαλη εξηρχετο πολλοι δε παραλελυμενοι και χωλοι εθεραπευθησαν
8And there was great joy in that city.
8και εγενετο χαρα μεγαλη εν τη πολει εκεινη
9But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
9ανηρ δε τισ ονοματι σιμων προυπηρχεν εν τη πολει μαγευων και εξιστων το εθνοσ τησ σαμαρειασ λεγων ειναι τινα εαυτον μεγαν
10To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
10ω προσειχον απο μικρου εωσ μεγαλου λεγοντεσ ουτοσ εστιν η δυναμισ του θεου η μεγαλη
11And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
11προσειχον δε αυτω δια το ικανω χρονω ταισ μαγειαισ εξεστακεναι αυτουσ
12But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
12οτε δε επιστευσαν τω φιλιππω ευαγγελιζομενω τα περι τησ βασιλειασ του θεου και του ονοματοσ ιησου χριστου εβαπτιζοντο ανδρεσ τε και γυναικεσ
13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
13ο δε σιμων και αυτοσ επιστευσεν και βαπτισθεισ ην προσκαρτερων τω φιλιππω θεωρων τε δυναμεισ και σημεια γινομενα εξιστατο
14Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
14ακουσαντεσ δε οι εν ιεροσολυμοισ αποστολοι οτι δεδεκται η σαμαρεια τον λογον του θεου απεστειλαν προσ αυτουσ τον πετρον και ιωαννην
15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
15οιτινεσ καταβαντεσ προσηυξαντο περι αυτων οπωσ λαβωσιν πνευμα αγιον
16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
16ουπω γαρ ην επ ουδενι αυτων επιπεπτωκοσ μονον δε βεβαπτισμενοι υπηρχον εισ το ονομα του χριστου ιησου
17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
17τοτε επετιθουν τασ χειρασ επ αυτουσ και ελαμβανον πνευμα αγιον
18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
18θεασαμενοσ δε ο σιμων οτι δια τησ επιθεσεωσ των χειρων των αποστολων διδοται το πνευμα το αγιον προσηνεγκεν αυτοισ χρηματα
19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
19λεγων δοτε καμοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην ινα ω εαν επιθω τασ χειρασ λαμβανη πνευμα αγιον
20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
20πετροσ δε ειπεν προσ αυτον το αργυριον σου συν σοι ειη εισ απωλειαν οτι την δωρεαν του θεου ενομισασ δια χρηματων κτασθαι
21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
21ουκ εστιν σοι μερισ ουδε κληροσ εν τω λογω τουτω η γαρ καρδια σου ουκ εστιν ευθεια ενωπιον του θεου
22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
22μετανοησον ουν απο τησ κακιασ σου ταυτησ και δεηθητι του θεου ει αρα αφεθησεται σοι η επινοια τησ καρδιασ σου
23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
23εισ γαρ χολην πικριασ και συνδεσμον αδικιασ ορω σε οντα
24Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
24αποκριθεισ δε ο σιμων ειπεν δεηθητε υμεισ υπερ εμου προσ τον κυριον οπωσ μηδεν επελθη επ εμε ων ειρηκατε
25And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
25οι μεν ουν διαμαρτυραμενοι και λαλησαντεσ τον λογον του κυριου υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ πολλασ τε κωμασ των σαμαρειτων ευηγγελισαντο
26And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
26αγγελοσ δε κυριου ελαλησεν προσ φιλιππον λεγων αναστηθι και πορευου κατα μεσημβριαν επι την οδον την καταβαινουσαν απο ιερουσαλημ εισ γαζαν αυτη εστιν ερημοσ
27And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
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
28Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
28ην τε υποστρεφων και καθημενοσ επι του αρματοσ αυτου και ανεγινωσκεν τον προφητην ησαιαν
29Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
29ειπεν δε το πνευμα τω φιλιππω προσελθε και κολληθητι τω αρματι τουτω
30And Philip ran thither to him , and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
30προσδραμων δε ο φιλιπποσ ηκουσεν αυτου αναγινωσκοντοσ τον προφητην ησαιαν και ειπεν αρα γε γινωσκεισ α αναγινωσκεισ
31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
31ο δε ειπεν πωσ γαρ αν δυναιμην εαν μη τισ οδηγηση με παρεκαλεσεν τε τον φιλιππον αναβαντα καθισαι συν αυτω
32The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
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
33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
33εν τη ταπεινωσει αυτου η κρισισ αυτου ηρθη την δε γενεαν αυτου τισ διηγησεται οτι αιρεται απο τησ γησ η ζωη αυτου
34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
34αποκριθεισ δε ο ευνουχοσ τω φιλιππω ειπεν δεομαι σου περι τινοσ ο προφητησ λεγει τουτο περι εαυτου η περι ετερου τινοσ
35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
35ανοιξασ δε ο φιλιπποσ το στομα αυτου και αρξαμενοσ απο τησ γραφησ ταυτησ ευηγγελισατο αυτω τον ιησουν
36And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
36ωσ δε επορευοντο κατα την οδον ηλθον επι τι υδωρ και φησιν ο ευνουχοσ ιδου υδωρ τι κωλυει με βαπτισθηναι
37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
no verse 37 in this text
38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
38και εκελευσεν στηναι το αρμα και κατεβησαν αμφοτεροι εισ το υδωρ ο τε φιλιπποσ και ο ευνουχοσ και εβαπτισεν αυτον
39And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
39οτε δε ανεβησαν εκ του υδατοσ πνευμα κυριου ηρπασεν τον φιλιππον και ουκ ειδεν αυτον ουκετι ο ευνουχοσ επορευετο γαρ την οδον αυτου χαιρων
40But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea.
40φιλιπποσ δε ευρεθη εισ αζωτον και διερχομενοσ ευηγγελιζετο τασ πολεισ πασασ εωσ του ελθειν αυτον εισ καισαρειαν
