Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
1ανηρ δε τισ ην εν καισαρεια ονοματι κορνηλιοσ εκατονταρχησ εκ σπειρησ τησ καλουμενησ ιταλικησ
2a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
2ευσεβησ και φοβουμενοσ τον θεον συν παντι τω οικω αυτου ποιων τε ελεημοσυνασ πολλασ τω λαω και δεομενοσ του θεου δια παντοσ
3At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
3ειδεν εν οραματι φανερωσ ωσει ωραν ενατην τησ ημερασ αγγελον του θεου εισελθοντα προσ αυτον και ειποντα αυτω κορνηλιε
4He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
4ο δε ατενισασ αυτω και εμφοβοσ γενομενοσ ειπεν τι εστιν κυριε ειπεν δε αυτω αι προσευχαι σου και αι ελεημοσυναι σου ανεβησαν εισ μνημοσυνον ενωπιον του θεου
5Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
5και νυν πεμψον εισ ιοππην ανδρασ και μεταπεμψαι σιμωνα τον επικαλουμενον πετρον
6He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
6ουτοσ ξενιζεται παρα τινι σιμωνι βυρσει ω εστιν οικια παρα θαλασσαν
7When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
7ωσ δε απηλθεν ο αγγελοσ ο λαλων τω κορνηλιω φωνησασ δυο των οικετων αυτου και στρατιωτην ευσεβη των προσκαρτερουντων αυτω
8Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
8και εξηγησαμενοσ αυτοισ απαντα απεστειλεν αυτουσ εισ την ιοππην
9Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
9τη δε επαυριον οδοιπορουντων εκεινων και τη πολει εγγιζοντων ανεβη πετροσ επι το δωμα προσευξασθαι περι ωραν εκτην
10He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
10εγενετο δε προσπεινοσ και ηθελεν γευσασθαι παρασκευαζοντων δε εκεινων επεπεσεν επ αυτον εκστασισ
11He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
11και θεωρει τον ουρανον ανεωγμενον και καταβαινον επ αυτον σκευοσ τι ωσ οθονην μεγαλην τεσσαρσιν αρχαισ δεδεμενον και καθιεμενον επι τησ γησ
12in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
12εν ω υπηρχεν παντα τα τετραποδα τησ γησ και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου
13A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
13και εγενετο φωνη προσ αυτον αναστασ πετρε θυσον και φαγε
14But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
14ο δε πετροσ ειπεν μηδαμωσ κυριε οτι ουδεποτε εφαγον παν κοινον η ακαθαρτον
15A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
15και φωνη παλιν εκ δευτερου προσ αυτον α ο θεοσ εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου
16This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
16τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρισ και παλιν ανεληφθη το σκευοσ εισ τον ουρανον
17Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
17ωσ δε εν εαυτω διηπορει ο πετροσ τι αν ειη το οραμα ο ειδεν και ιδου οι ανδρεσ οι απεσταλμενοι απο του κορνηλιου διερωτησαντεσ την οικιαν σιμωνοσ επεστησαν επι τον πυλωνα
18and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
18και φωνησαντεσ επυνθανοντο ει σιμων ο επικαλουμενοσ πετροσ ενθαδε ξενιζεται
19While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
19του δε πετρου διενθυμουμενου περι του οραματοσ ειπεν αυτω το πνευμα ιδου ανδρεσ ζητουσιν σε
20But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
20αλλα αναστασ καταβηθι και πορευου συν αυτοισ μηδεν διακρινομενοσ διοτι εγω απεσταλκα αυτουσ
21Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
21καταβασ δε πετροσ προσ τουσ ανδρασ ειπεν ιδου εγω ειμι ον ζητειτε τισ η αιτια δι ην παρεστε
22They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
22οι δε ειπον κορνηλιοσ εκατονταρχησ ανηρ δικαιοσ και φοβουμενοσ τον θεον μαρτυρουμενοσ τε υπο ολου του εθνουσ των ιουδαιων εχρηματισθη υπο αγγελου αγιου μεταπεμψασθαι σε εισ τον οικον αυτου και ακουσαι ρηματα παρα σου
23So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
23εισκαλεσαμενοσ ουν αυτουσ εξενισεν τη δε επαυριον ο πετροσ εξηλθεν συν αυτοισ και τινεσ των αδελφων των απο ιοππησ συνηλθον αυτω
24On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
24και τη επαυριον εισηλθον εισ την καισαρειαν ο δε κορνηλιοσ ην προσδοκων αυτουσ συγκαλεσαμενοσ τουσ συγγενεισ αυτου και τουσ αναγκαιουσ φιλουσ
25When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
25ωσ δε εγενετο του εισελθειν τον πετρον συναντησασ αυτω ο κορνηλιοσ πεσων επι τουσ ποδασ προσεκυνησεν
26But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
26ο δε πετροσ αυτον ηγειρεν λεγων αναστηθι καγω αυτοσ ανθρωποσ ειμι
27As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
27και συνομιλων αυτω εισηλθεν και ευρισκει συνεληλυθοτασ πολλουσ
28He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.
28εφη τε προσ αυτουσ υμεισ επιστασθε ωσ αθεμιτον εστιν ανδρι ιουδαιω κολλασθαι η προσερχεσθαι αλλοφυλω και εμοι ο θεοσ εδειξεν μηδενα κοινον η ακαθαρτον λεγειν ανθρωπον
29Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
29διο και αναντιρρητωσ ηλθον μεταπεμφθεισ πυνθανομαι ουν τινι λογω μετεπεμψασθε με
30Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
30και ο κορνηλιοσ εφη απο τεταρτησ ημερασ μεχρι ταυτησ τησ ωρασ ημην νηστευων και την ενατην ωραν προσευχομενοσ εν τω οικω μου και ιδου ανηρ εστη ενωπιον μου εν εσθητι λαμπρα
31and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
31και φησιν κορνηλιε εισηκουσθη σου η προσευχη και αι ελεημοσυναι σου εμνησθησαν ενωπιον του θεου
32Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
32πεμψον ουν εισ ιοππην και μετακαλεσαι σιμωνα οσ επικαλειται πετροσ ουτοσ ξενιζεται εν οικια σιμωνοσ βυρσεωσ παρα θαλασσαν οσ παραγενομενοσ λαλησει σοι
33Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
33εξαυτησ ουν επεμψα προσ σε συ τε καλωσ εποιησασ παραγενομενοσ νυν ουν παντεσ ημεισ ενωπιον του θεου παρεσμεν ακουσαι παντα τα προστεταγμενα σοι υπο του θεου
34Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
34ανοιξασ δε πετροσ το στομα ειπεν επ αληθειασ καταλαμβανομαι οτι ουκ εστιν προσωποληπτησ ο θεοσ
35but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
35αλλ εν παντι εθνει ο φοβουμενοσ αυτον και εργαζομενοσ δικαιοσυνην δεκτοσ αυτω εστιν
36The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
36τον λογον ον απεστειλεν τοισ υιοισ ισραηλ ευαγγελιζομενοσ ειρηνην δια ιησου χριστου ουτοσ εστιν παντων κυριοσ
37you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
37υμεισ οιδατε το γενομενον ρημα καθ ολησ τησ ιουδαιασ αρξαμενον απο τησ γαλιλαιασ μετα το βαπτισμα ο εκηρυξεν ιωαννησ
38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
38ιησουν τον απο ναζαρετ ωσ εχρισεν αυτον ο θεοσ πνευματι αγιω και δυναμει οσ διηλθεν ευεργετων και ιωμενοσ παντασ τουσ καταδυναστευομενουσ υπο του διαβολου οτι ο θεοσ ην μετ αυτου
39We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
39και ημεισ εσμεν μαρτυρεσ παντων ων εποιησεν εν τε τη χωρα των ιουδαιων και εν ιερουσαλημ ον και ανειλον κρεμασαντεσ επι ξυλου
40God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
40τουτον ο θεοσ ηγειρεν τη τριτη ημερα και εδωκεν αυτον εμφανη γενεσθαι
41not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
41ου παντι τω λαω αλλα μαρτυσιν τοισ προκεχειροτονημενοισ υπο του θεου ημιν οιτινεσ συνεφαγομεν και συνεπιομεν αυτω μετα το αναστηναι αυτον εκ νεκρων
42He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
42και παρηγγειλεν ημιν κηρυξαι τω λαω και διαμαρτυρασθαι οτι αυτοσ εστιν ο ωρισμενοσ υπο του θεου κριτησ ζωντων και νεκρων
43All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
43τουτω παντεσ οι προφηται μαρτυρουσιν αφεσιν αμαρτιων λαβειν δια του ονοματοσ αυτου παντα τον πιστευοντα εισ αυτον
44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
44ετι λαλουντοσ του πετρου τα ρηματα ταυτα επεπεσεν το πνευμα το αγιον επι παντασ τουσ ακουοντασ τον λογον
45They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
45και εξεστησαν οι εκ περιτομησ πιστοι οσοι συνηλθον τω πετρω οτι και επι τα εθνη η δωρεα του αγιου πνευματοσ εκκεχυται
46For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
46ηκουον γαρ αυτων λαλουντων γλωσσαισ και μεγαλυνοντων τον θεον τοτε απεκριθη ο πετροσ
47“Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
47μητι το υδωρ κωλυσαι δυναται τισ του μη βαπτισθηναι τουτουσ οιτινεσ το πνευμα το αγιον ελαβον καθωσ και ημεισ
48He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
48προσεταξεν τε αυτουσ βαπτισθηναι εν τω ονοματι του κυριου τοτε ηρωτησαν αυτον επιμειναι ημερασ τινασ
