13:1

Ησαν δε εν Αντιοχεια κατα την ουσαν εκκλησιαν προφηται και διδασκαλοι ο τε Βαρναβας και Συμεων ο καλουμενος Νιγερ και Λουκιος ο Κυρηναιος Μαναην τε Ηρωδου του τετρααρχου συντροφος και Σαυλος

Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

13:2

Λειτουργουντων δε αυτων τω Κυριω και νηστευοντων ειπεν το Πνευμα το Αγιον Αφορισατε δη μοι τον Βαρναβαν και Σαυλον εις το εργον ο προσκεκλημαι αυτους

And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

¹

13:3

τοτε νηστευσαντες και προσευξαμενοι και επιθεντες τας χειρας αυτοις απελυσαν

Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

13:4

Αυτοι μεν ουν εκπεμφθεντες υπο του Αγιου Πνευματος κατηλθον εις Σελευκειαν εκειθεν τε απεπλευσαν εις Κυπρον

So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

13:5

και γενομενοι εν Σαλαμινι κατηγγελλον τον λογον του Θεου εν ταις συναγωγαις των Ιουδαιων ειχον δε και Ιωαννην υπηρετην

And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant.

13:6

Διελθοντες δε ολην την νησον αχρι Παφου ευρον ανδρα τινα μαγον ψευδοπροφητην Ιουδαιον ω ονομα Βαριησου

And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesus;

13:7

ος ην συν τω ανθυπατω Σεργιω Παυλω ανδρι συνετω ουτος προσκαλεσαμενος Βαρναβαν και Σαυλον επεζητησεν ακουσαι τον λογον του Θεου

who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.

13:8

ανθιστατο δε αυτοις Ελυμας ο μαγος ουτως γαρ μεθερμηνευεται το ονομα αυτου ζητων διαστρεψαι τον ανθυπατον απο της πιστεως

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.

13:9

Σαυλος δε ο και Παυλος πλησθεις Πνευματος Αγιου ατενισας εις αυτον

But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,

13:10

ειπεν Ω πληρης παντος δολου και πασης ραδιουργιας υιε διαβολου εχθρε πασης δικαιοσυνης ου παυση διαστρεφων τας οδους του Κυριου τας ευθειας

and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

13:11

και νυν ιδου χειρ Κυριου επι σε και εση τυφλος μη βλεπων τον ηλιον αχρι καιρου παραχρημα δε επεσεν επ αυτον αχλυς και σκοτος και περιαγων εζητει χειραγωγους

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

13:12

Τοτε ιδων ο ανθυπατος το γεγονος επιστευσεν εκπλησσομενος επι τη διδαχη του Κυριου

Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

13:13

Αναχθεντες δε απο της Παφου οι περι Παυλον ηλθον εις Περγην της Παμφυλιας Ιωαννης δε αποχωρησας απ αυτων υπεστρεψεν εις Ιεροσολυμα

Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.

13:14

Αυτοι δε διελθοντες απο της Περγης παρεγενοντο εις Αντιοχειαν την Πισιδιαν και εισελθοντες εις την συναγωγην τη ημερα των σαββατων εκαθισαν

But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

13:15

μετα δε την αναγνωσιν του νομου και των προφητων απεστειλαν οι αρχισυναγωγοι προς αυτους λεγοντες Ανδρες αδελφοι ει τις εστιν εν υμιν λογος παρακλησεως προς τον λαον λεγετε

And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

13:16

Αναστας δε Παυλος και κατασεισας τη χειρι ειπεν Ανδρες Ισραηλιται και οι φοβουμενοι τον Θεον ακουσατε

And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:

13:17

ο Θεος του λαου τουτου Ισραηλ εξελεξατο τους πατερας ημων και τον λαον υψωσεν εν τη παροικια εν γη Αιγυπτου και μετα βραχιονος υψηλου εξηγαγεν αυτους εξ αυτης

The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.

13:18

και ως τεσσερακονταετη χρονον ετροποφορησεν αυτους εν τη ερημω

And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness.

13:19

και καθελων εθνη επτα εν γη Χανααν κατεκληρονομησεν την γην αυτων

And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:

13:20

ως ετεσιν τετρακοσιοις και πεντηκοντα Και μετα ταυτα εδωκεν κριτας εως Σαμουηλ του προφητου

and after these things he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

13:21

κακειθεν ητησαντο βασιλεα και εδωκεν αυτοις ο Θεος τον Σαουλ υιον Κις ανδρα εκ φυλης Βενιαμιν ετη τεσσερακοντα

And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.

13:22

και μεταστησας αυτον ηγειρεν τον Δαυιδ αυτοις εις βασιλεα ω και ειπεν μαρτυρησας Ευρον Δαυιδ τον του Ιεσσαι ανδρα κατα την καρδιαν μου ος ποιησει παντα τα θεληματα μου

And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.

13:23

Τουτου ο Θεος απο του σπερματος κατ επαγγελιαν ηγαγεν τω Ισραηλ Σωτηρα Ιησουν

Of this man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

13:24

προκηρυξαντος Ιωαννου προ προσωπου της εισοδου αυτου βαπτισμα μετανοιας παντι τω λαω Ισραηλ

when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

13:25

ως δε επληρου Ιωαννης τον δρομον ελεγεν Τι εμε υπονοειτε ειναι ουκ ειμι εγω αλλ ιδου ερχεται μετ εμε ου ουκ ειμι αξιος το υποδημα των ποδων λυσαι

And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not he. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.

13:26

Ανδρες αδελφοι υιοι γενους Αβρααμ και οι εν υμιν φοβουμενοι τον Θεον ημιν ο λογος της σωτηριας ταυτης εξαπεσταλη

Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.

13:27

οι γαρ κατοικουντες εν Ιερουσαλημ και οι αρχοντες αυτων τουτον αγνοησαντες και τας φωνας των προφητων τας κατα παν σαββατον αναγινωσκομενας κριναντες επληρωσαν

For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

13:28

και μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου ευροντες ητησαντο Πιλατον αναιρεθηναι αυτον

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.

13:29

Ως δε ετελεσαν παντα τα περι αυτου γεγραμμενα καθελοντες απο του ξυλου εθηκαν εις μνημειον

And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

13:30

ο δε Θεος ηγειρεν αυτον εκ νεκρων

But God raised him from the dead:

13:31

ος ωφθη επι ημερας πλειους τοις συναναβασιν αυτω απο της Γαλιλαιας εις Ιερουσαλημ οιτινες νυν εισιν μαρτυρες αυτου προς τον λαον

and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.

13:32

Και ημεις υμας ευαγγελιζομεθα την προς τους πατερας επαγγελιαν γενομενην

And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,

13:33

οτι ταυτην ο Θεος εκπεπληρωκεν τοις τεκνοις αυτων ημων αναστησας Ιησουν ως και εν τω ψαλμω γεγραπται τω δευτερω Υιος μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε

that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

13:34

Οτι δε ανεστησεν αυτον εκ νεκρων μηκετι μελλοντα υποστρεφειν εις διαφθοραν ουτως ειρηκεν οτι Δωσω υμιν τα οσια Δαυιδ τα πιστα

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.

13:35

Διοτι και εν ετερω λεγει Ου δωσεις τον Οσιον σου ιδειν διαφθοραν

Because he saith also in another psalm, Thou wilt not give thy Holy One to see corruption.

13:36

Δαυιδ μεν γαρ ιδια γενεα υπηρετησας τη του Θεου βουλη εκοιμηθη και προσετεθη προς τους πατερας αυτου και ειδεν διαφθοραν

For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

13:37

ον δε ο Θεος ηγειρεν ουκ ειδεν διαφθοραν

but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.

13:38

Γνωστον ουν εστω υμιν ανδρες αδελφοι οτι δια τουτου υμιν αφεσις αμαρτιων καταγγελλεται και απο παντων ων ουκ ηδυνηθητε εν νομω Μωυσεως δικαιωθηναι

Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:

13:39

εν τουτω πας ο πιστευων δικαιουται

and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

13:40

βλεπετε ουν μη επελθη το ειρημενον εν τοις προφηταις

Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:

13:41

Ιδετε οι καταφρονηται και θαυμασατε και αφανισθητε οτι εργον εργαζομαι εγω εν ταις ημεραις υμων εργον ο ου μη πιστευσητε εαν τις εκδιηγηται υμιν

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.

13:42

Εξιοντων δε αυτων παρεκαλουν εις το μεταξυ σαββατον λαληθηναι αυτοις τα ρηματα ταυτα

And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.

13:43

λυθεισης δε της συναγωγης ηκολουθησαν πολλοι των Ιουδαιων και των σεβομενων προσηλυτων τω Παυλω και τω Βαρναβα οιτινες προσλαλουντες αυτοις επειθον αυτους προσμενειν τη χαριτι του Θεου

Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

13:44

Τω δε ερχομενω σαββατω σχεδον πασα η πολις συνηχθη ακουσαι τον λογον του κυριου

And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

13:45

ιδοντες δε οι Ιουδαιοι τους οχλους επλησθησαν ζηλου και αντελεγον τοις υπο Παυλου λαλουμενοις βλασφημουντες

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

13:46

Παρρησιασαμενοι τε ο Παυλος και ο Βαρναβας ειπαν Υμιν ην αναγκαιον πρωτον λαληθηναι τον λογον του Θεου επειδη απωθεισθε αυτον και ουκ αξιους κρινετε εαυτους της αιωνιου ζωης ιδου στρεφομεθα εις τα εθνη

And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

13:47

ουτως γαρ εντεταλται ημιν ο Κυριος Τεθεικα σε εις φως εθνων του ειναι σε εις σωτηριαν εως εσχατου της γης

For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.

13:48

Ακουοντα δε τα εθνη εχαιρον και εδοξαζον τον λογον του Κυριου και επιστευσαν οσοι ησαν τεταγμενοι εις ζωην αιωνιον

And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

13:49

διεφερετο δε ο λογος του Κυριου δι ολης της χωρας

And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.

13:50

Οι δε Ιουδαιοι παρωτρυναν τας σεβομενας γυναικας τας ευσχημονας και τους πρωτους της πολεως και επηγειραν διωγμον επι τον Παυλον και Βαρναβαν και εξεβαλον αυτους απο των οριων αυτων

But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.

13:51

οι δε εκτιναξαμενοι τον κονιορτον των ποδων επ αυτους ηλθον εις Ικονιον

But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

13:52

οι τε μαθηται επληρουντο χαρας και Πνευματος Αγιου

And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
