Reference |
| 1 | Ἤκουσαν δὲ οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ οἱ ὄντες κατὰ τὴν Ἰουδαίαν ὅτι καὶ τὰ ἐθνη ἐδέξαντο τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ. | News came to the apostles and the members of the church in Judaea that Gentiles too had accepted the word of God; | Peter's Report to the Church at Jerusalem Ac.11.1-18 |
| 2 | ὅτε δὲ ἀνέβη Πέτρος εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, διεκρίνοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ ἐκ περιτομῆς | and when Peter came up to Jerusalem those who were of Jewish birth raised the question with him. | |
| 3 | λέγοντες ὅτι Εἰσῆλθες πρὸς ἀνδρας ἀκροβυστίαν ἐχοντας καὶ συνέφαγες αὐτοῖς. | 'You have been visiting men who are uncircumcised,' they said, 'and sitting at table with them!' | |
| 4 | ἀρξάμενος δὲ Πέτρος ἐξετίθετο αὐτοῖς καθεξῆς λέγων, | Peter began by laying before them the facts as they had happened. | |
| 5 | Ἐγὼ ἤμην ἐν πόλει Ἰόππῃ προσευχόμενος καὶ εἶδον ἐν ἐκστάσει ὁραμα, καταβαῖνον σκεῦός τι ὡς ὀθόνην μεγάλην τέσσαρσιν ἀρχαῖς καθιεμένην ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἦλθεν ἀχρι ἐμοῦ· | 'I was in the city of Joppa', he said, 'at prayer; and while in a trance I had a vision: a thing was coming down that looked like a great sheet of sail-cloth, slung by the four corners and lowered from the sky till it reached me. | |
| 6 | εἰς ἣν ἀτενίσας κατενόουν καὶ εἶδον τὰ τετράποδα τῆς γῆς καὶ τὰ θηρία καὶ τὰ ἑρπετὰ καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ. | I looked intently to make out what was in it and I saw four-footed creatures of the earth, wild beasts, and things that crawl or fly. | |
| 7 | ἠκουσα δὲ καὶ φωνῆς λεγούσης μοι, Ἀναστάς, Πέτρε, θῦσον καὶ φάγε. | Then I heard a voice saying to me, "Up, Peter, kill and eat." | |
| 8 | εἶπον δέ, Μηδαμῶς, κύριε, ὅτι κοινὸν ἢ ἀκάθαρτον οὐδέποτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου. | But I said, "No, Lord, no: nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth." | |
| 9 | ἀπεκρίθη δὲ φωνὴ ἐκ δευτέρου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Ἃ ὁ θεὸς ἐκαθάρισεν σὺ μὴ κοίνου. | A voice from heaven answered a second time, "It is not for you to call profane what God counts clean." | |
| 10 | τοῦτο δὲ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τρίς, καὶ ἀνεσπάσθη πάλιν ἀπαντα εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν. | This happened three times, and then they were all drawn up again into the sky. | |
| 11 | καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξαυτῆς τρεῖς ἀνδρες ἐπέστησαν ἐπὶ τὴν οἰκίαν ἐν ᾗ ἦμεν, ἀπεσταλμένοι ἀπὸ Καισαρείας πρός με. | At that moment three men, who had been sent to me from Caesarea, arrived at the house where I was staying; | |
| 12 | εἶπεν δὲ τὸ πνεῦμά μοι συνελθεῖν αὐτοῖς μηδὲν διακρίναντα. ἦλθον δὲ σὺν ἐμοὶ καὶ οἱ ἓξ ἀδελφοὶ οὗτοι, καὶ εἰσήλθομεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀνδρός· | and the Spirit told me to go with them. My six companions here came with me and we went into the man's house. | |
| 13 | ἀπήγγειλεν δὲ ἡμῖν πῶς εἶδεν [τὸν] ἀγγελον ἐν τῷ οἰκῳ αὐτοῦ σταθέντα καὶ εἰπόντα, Ἀπόστειλον εἰς Ἰόππην καὶ μετάπεμψαι Σίμωνα τὸν ἐπικαλούμενον Πέτρον, | He told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house who said, "Send to Joppa for Simon also called Peter. | |
| 14 | ὃς λαλήσει ῥήματα πρὸς σὲ ἐν οἷς σωθήσῃ σὺ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκός σου. | He will speak words that will bring salvation to you and all your household." | |
| 15 | ἐν δὲ τῷ ἀρξασθαί με λαλεῖν ἐπέπεσεν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀγιον ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ὡσπερ καὶ ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ἐν ἀρχῇ. | Hardly had I begun speaking, when the Holy Spirit came upon them, just as upon us at the beginning. | |
| 16 | ἐμνήσθην δὲ τοῦ ῥήματος τοῦ κυρίου ὡς ἐλεγεν, Ἰωάννης μὲν ἐβάπτισεν ὑδατι, ὑμεῖς δὲ βαπτισθήσεσθε ἐν πνεύματι ἀγίῳ. | Then I recalled what the Lord had said: "John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." | |
| 17 | εἰ οὖν τὴν ἰσην δωρεὰν ἐδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς ὡς καὶ ἡμῖν πιστεύσασιν ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, ἐγὼ τίς ἠμην δυνατὸς κωλῦσαι τὸν θεόν; | God gave them no less a gift than he gave us when we put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ; then how could I possibly stand in God's way?' | |
| 18 | ἀκούσαντες δὲ ταῦτα ἡσύχασαν καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν θεὸν λέγοντες, Ἄρα καὶ τοῖς ἐθνεσιν ὁ θεὸς τὴν μετάνοιαν εἰς ζωὴν ἐδωκεν. | When they heard this their doubts were silenced. They gave praise to God and said, 'This means that God has granted life-giving repentance to the Gentiles also.' | |
| 19 | Οἱ μὲν οὖν διασπαρέντες ἀπὸ τῆς θλίψεως τῆς γενομένης ἐπὶ Στεφάνῳ διῆλθον ἑως Φοινίκης καὶ Κύπρου καὶ Ἀντιοχείας, μηδενὶ λαλοῦντες τὸν λόγον εἰ μὴ μόνον Ἰουδαίοις. | MEANWHILE THOSE who had been scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen made their way to Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, bringing the message to Jews only and to no others. | The Church at Antioch Ac.11.19-30 |
| 20 | ἦσαν δέ τινες ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀνδρες Κύπριοι καὶ Κυρηναῖοι, οἱτινες ἐλθόντες εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν ἐλάλουν καὶ πρὸς τοὺς Ἑλληνιστάς, εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν. | But there were some natives of Cyprus and Cyrene among them, and these, when they arrived at Antioch, began to speak to pagans as well, telling them the good news of the Lord Jesus. | |
| 21 | καὶ ἦν χεὶρ κυρίου μετ' αὐτῶν, πολύς τε ἀριθμὸς ὁ πιστεύσας ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον. | The power of the Lord was with them, and a great many became believers, and turned to the Lord. | |
| 22 | ἠκούσθη δὲ ὁ λόγος εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῆς ἐκκλησίας τῆς οὐσης ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ περὶ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν Βαρναβᾶν [διελθεῖν] ἑως Ἀντιοχείας· | The news reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem; and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. | |
| 23 | ὃς παραγενόμενος καὶ ἰδὼν τὴν χάριν [τὴν] τοῦ θεοῦ ἐχάρη, καὶ παρεκάλει πάντας τῇ προθέσει τῆς καρδίας προσμένειν τῷ κυρίῳ, | When he arrived and saw the divine grace at work, he rejoiced, and encouraged them all to hold fast to the Lord with resolute hearts; | |
| 24 | ὁτι ἦν ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς καὶ πλήρης πνεύματος ἀγίου καὶ πίστεως. καὶ προσετέθη ὀχλος ἱκανὸς τῷ κυρίῳ. | for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And large numbers were won over to the Lord. | |
| 25 | ἐξῆλθεν δὲ εἰς Ταρσὸν ἀναζητῆσαι Σαῦλον, | He then went off to Tarsus to look for Saul; | |
| 26 | καὶ εὑρὼν ἠγαγεν εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν. ἐγένετο δὲ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐνιαυτὸν ὁλον συναχθῆναι ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ καὶ διδάξαι ὀχλον ἱκανόν, χρηματίσαι τε πρώτως ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ τοὺς μαθητ ὰς Χριστιανούς. | and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year the two of them lived in fellowship with the congregation there, and gave instruction to large numbers. It was in Antioch that the disciples first got the name of Christians. | |
| 27 | Ἐν ταύταις δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις κατῆλθον ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων προφῆται εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν· | During this period some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. | |
| 28 | ἀναστὰς δὲ εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν ὀνόματι Ἅγαβος ἐσήμανεν διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος λιμὸν μεγάλην μέλλειν ἐσεσθαι ἐφ' ὁλην τὴν οἰκουμένην· ἡτις ἐγένετο ἐπὶ Κλαυδίου. | One of them, Agabus by name, was inspired to stand up and predict a severe and world-wide famine, which in fact occurred in the reign of Claudius. | |
| 29 | τῶν δὲ μαθητῶν καθὼς εὐπορεῖτό τις ὡρισαν ἑκαστος αὐτῶν εἰς διακονίαν πέμψαι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ἀδελφοῖς· | So the disciples agreed to make a contribution, each according to his means, for the relief of their fellow-Christians in Judaea. | |
| 30 | ὃ καὶ ἐποίησαν ἀποστείλαντες πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους διὰ χειρὸς Βαρναβᾶ καὶ Σαύλου. | This they did, and sent it off in the charge of Barnabas and Saul to the elders. | |
