11:1

Ηκουσαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι αδελφοι οι οντες κατα την Ιουδαιαν οτι και τα εθνη εδεξαντο τον λογον του Θεου

Now the apostles and the brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

11:2

Οτε δε ανεβη Πετρος εις Ιερουσαλημ διεκρινοντο προς αυτον οι εκ περιτομης

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

11:3

λεγοντες οτι Εισηλθες προς ανδρας ακροβυστιαν εχοντας και συνεφαγες αυτοις

saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

11:4

Αρξαμενος δε Πετρος εξετιθετο αυτοις καθεξης λεγων

But Peter began, and expounded the matter unto them in order, saying,

11:5

Εγω ημην εν πολει Ιοππη προσευχομενος και ειδον εν εκστασει οραμα καταβαινον σκευος τι ως οθονην μεγαλην τεσσαρσιν αρχαις καθιεμενην εκ του ουρανου και ηλθεν αχρι εμου

I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even unto me:

11:6

εις ην ατενισας κατενοουν και ειδον τα τετραποδα της γης και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου

upon which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw the fourfooted beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the heaven.

11:7

ηκουσα δε και φωνης λεγουσης μοι Αναστας Πετρε θυσον και φαγε

And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.

11:8

Ειπον δε Μηδαμως Κυριε οτι κοινον η ακαθαρτον ουδεποτε εισηλθεν εις το στομα μου

But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.

11:9

Απεκριθη δε φωνη εκ δευτερου εκ του ουρανου Α ο Θεος εκαθαρισεν συ μη κοινου

But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.

11:10

Τουτο δε εγενετο επι τρις και ανεσπασθη παλιν απαντα εις τον ουρανον

And this was done thrice: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

11:11

Και ιδου εξαυτης τρεις ανδρες επεστησαν επι την οικιαν εν η ημεν απεσταλμενοι απο Καισαρειας προς με

And behold, forthwith three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Cæsarea unto me.

11:12

ειπεν δε το Πνευμα μοι συνελθειν αυτοις μηδεν διακριναντα ηλθον δε συν εμοι και οι εξ αδελφοι ουτοι και εισηλθομεν εις τον οικον του ανδρος

And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no distinction. And these six brethren also accompanied me; and we entered into the man’s house:

11:13

απηγγειλεν δε ημιν πως ειδεν τον αγγελον εν τω οικω αυτου σταθεντα και ειποντα Αποστειλον εις Ιοππην και μεταπεμψαι Σιμωνα τον επικαλουμενον Πετρον

and he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, whose surname is Peter;

11:14

ος λαλησει ρηματα προς σε εν οις σωθηση συ και πας ο οικος σου

who shall speak unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

11:15

Εν δε τω αρξασθαι με λαλειν επεπεσεν το Πνευμα το Αγιον επ αυτους ωσπερ και εφ ημας εν αρχη

And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

11:16

εμνησθην δε του ρηματος του Κυριου ως ελεγεν Ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεις δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν Πνευματι Αγιω

And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

11:17

ει ουν την ισην δωρεαν εδωκεν αυτοις ο Θεος ως και ημιν πιστευσασιν επι τον Κυριον Ιησουν Χριστον εγω τις ημην δυνατος κωλυσαι τον Θεον

If then God gave unto them the like gift as he did also unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?

11:18

Ακουσαντες δε ταυτα ησυχασαν και εδοξασαν τον Θεον λεγοντες Αρα και τοις εθνεσιν ο Θεος την μετανοιαν εις ζωην εδωκεν

And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also hath God granted repentance unto life.

11:19

Οι μεν ουν διασπαρεντες απο της θλιψεως της γενομενης επι Στεφανω διηλθον εως Φοινικης και Κυπρου και Αντιοχειας μηδενι λαλουντες τον λογον ει μη μονον Ιουδαιοις

They therefore that were scattered abroad upon the tribulation that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none save only to Jews.

11:20

Ησαν δε τινες εξ αυτων ανδρες Κυπριοι και Κυρηναιοι οιτινες ελθοντες εις Αντιοχειαν ελαλουν και προς τους Ελληνιστας ευαγγελιζομενοι τον Κυριον Ιησουν

But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus.

11:21

και ην χειρ Κυριου μετ αυτων πολυς τε αριθμος ο πιστευσας επεστρεψεν επι τον Κυριον

And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number that believed turned unto the Lord.

11:22

Ηκουσθη δε ο λογος εις τα ωτα της εκκλησιας της ουσης εν Ιερουσαλημ περι αυτων και εξαπεστειλαν Βαρναβαν διελθειν εως Αντιοχειας

And the report concerning them came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas as far as Antioch:

11:23

ος παραγενομενος και ιδων την χαριν την του Θεου εχαρη και παρεκαλει παντας τη προθεσει της καρδιας προσμενειν τω Κυριω

who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad; and he exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord:

11:24

οτι ην ανηρ αγαθος και πληρης Πνευματος Αγιου και πιστεως και προσετεθη οχλος ικανος τω Κυριω

for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

11:25

Εξηλθεν δε εις Ταρσον αναζητησαι Σαυλον

And he went forth to Tarsus to seek for Saul;

11:26

και ευρων ηγαγεν εις Αντιοχειαν εγενετο δε αυτοις και ενιαυτον ολον συναχθηναι εν τη εκκλησια και διδαξαι οχλον ικανον χρηματισαι τε πρωτως εν Αντιοχεια τους μαθητας Χριστιανους

and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that even for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught much people; and that the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

11:27

Εν ταυταις δε ταις ημεραις κατηλθον απο Ιεροσολυμων προφηται εις Αντιοχειαν

Now in these days there came down prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

11:28

αναστας δε εις εξ αυτων ονοματι Αγαβος εσημανεν δια του Πνευματος λιμον μεγαλην μελλειν εσεσθαι εφ ολην την οικουμενην ητις εγενετο επι Κλαυδιου

And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be a great famine over all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius.

11:29

των δε μαθητων καθως ευπορειτο τις ωρισαν εκαστος αυτων εις διακονιαν πεμψαι τοις κατοικουσιν εν τη Ιουδαια αδελφοις

And the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren that dwelt in Judæa:

11:30

ο και εποιησαν αποστειλαντες προς τους πρεσβυτερους δια χειρος Βαρναβα και Σαυλου

which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
