Beginning

11 Now de the ho apostles apostolos and kai the ho brothers adelphos who ho were eimi throughout kata · ho Judea Ioudaia heard akouō that hoti the ho Gentiles ethnos too kai had accepted dechomai the ho word logos of ho God theos. ² So de when hote Peter Petros went up anabainō to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, they ho who were of ek the circumcision peritomē took diakrinō issue with pros him autos, ³ saying legō, “ You went eiserchomai to pros a house of echō uncircumcised akrobystia men anēr and kai ate synesthiō with them autos.” ⁴ But de Peter Petros began archō and explained ektithēmi to them autos in an orderly kathexēs fashion , saying legō, ⁵ “ I egō was eimi in en the city polis of Joppa Ioppē, praying proseuchomai, and kai in en a trance ekstasis I saw a vision horama, an tis object skeuos descending katabainō, like hōs a great megas sheet othonē being let down kathiēmi by its four tessares corners archē from ek · ho heaven ouranos, and kai it came erchomai close achri to me egō. ⁶ I looked katanoeō into eis it hos closely atenizō and kai I saw · ho four-footed tetrapous animals of the ho earth gē, · kai · ho wild thērion animals , · kai · ho reptiles herpeton, and kai · ho birds peteinon of the ho air ouranos. ⁷ I also kai heard akouō · de a voice phōnē saying legō to me egō, ‘ Get anistēmi up , Peter Petros; slaughter thuō and kai eat esthiō!’ ⁸ But de I said legō, ‘ By mēdamōs no means , Lord kyrios; for hoti nothing oudepote common koinos or ē unclean akathartos has ever entered eiserchomai into eis · ho my egō mouth stoma.’ ⁹ But de the voice phōnē replied apokrinomai a second time ek from ek · ho heaven ouranos, ‘ What hos · ho God theos has made clean katharizō, you sy must not mē consider common koinoō.’ ¹⁰ This houtos · de happened ginomai three times epi, and kai again palin everything hapas was drawn anaspaō up into eis · ho heaven ouranos. ¹¹ And kai behold idou, at that very moment exautēs three treis men anēr arrived ephistēmi at epi the ho house oikia, in en which hos we were eimi, sent apostellō from apo Caesarea Kaisareia to pros me egō. ¹² And de the ho Spirit pneuma told legō me egō to go synerchomai with them autos without mēdeis hesitating diakrinō. And de with syn me egō went erchomai also kai · ho these houtos six hex brothers adelphos, and kai we went eiserchomai into eis the ho house oikos of the ho man anēr. ¹³ And de he told apangellō us hēmeis how pōs he had seen the ho angel angelos standing histēmi in en · ho his autos house oikos and kai saying legō, ‘ Send apostellō to eis Joppa Ioppē and kai summon metapempō Simon Simōn, who ho is called epikaleō Peter Petros, ¹⁴ who hos will speak laleō words rhēma to pros you sy by en which hos you sy and kai your sy entire pas household oikos will be saved sōzō.’ · ho ¹⁵ And de as en I egō began archō to speak laleō, the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma fell epipiptō · ho upon epi them autos just kai as hōsper he did upon epi us hēmeis at en the beginning archē. ¹⁶ And de I remembered mimnēskomai the ho word rhēma of the ho Lord kyrios, how hōs he said legō, ‘ John Iōannēs indeed men baptized baptizō with water hydōr, but de you hymeis will be baptized baptizō with en the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma.’ ¹⁷ If ei then oun God theos gave didōmi the ho same isos gift dōrea to them autos · ho as hōs · kai he gave to us hēmeis when we believed pisteuō in epi the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, who tis was eimi I egō to be able dynatos to stand kōlyō in God’ s theos way ?” · ho ¹⁸ When they heard akouō · de these houtos things , they fell silent hēsychazō, and kai they glorified doxazō · ho God theos, saying legō, “ So ara then even kai to the ho Gentiles ethnos · ho God theos has granted didōmi · ho repentance metanoia that leads to eis life zōē.”

¹⁹ Now oun those ho who were scattered diaspeirō because apo of the ho persecution thlipsis, which ho came ginomai to pass over epi Stephen Stephanos, made dierchomai their way as heōs far as Phoenicia Phoinikē and kai Cyprus Kypros and kai Antioch Antiocheia, speaking laleō the ho word logos to no mēdeis one except ei mē Jews Ioudaios only monon. ²⁰ But de there were eimi some tis of ek them autos, men anēr of Cyprus Kyprios and kai Cyrene Kyrēnaios, who hostis on coming erchomai to eis Antioch Antiocheia began to speak laleō also kai to pros the ho Hellenists Hellēnistēs, preaching euangelizō the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous. ²¹ And kai the hand cheir of kyrios the Lord kyrios was eimi with meta them autos, and te a great polys number arithmos became · ho believers pisteuō and turned epistrephō to epi the ho Lord kyrios. ²² The ho report logos of peri all this autos was heard akouō · de in eis the ho ears ous of the ho church ekklēsia · ho in en Jerusalem Ierousalēm, and kai they sent exapostellō Barnabas Barnabas as heōs far as Antioch Antiocheia. ²³ When he hos came paraginomai and kai saw the ho grace charis · ho of ho God theos, he was glad chairō, and kai he began to exhort parakaleō them all pas to remain faithful prosmenō to the ho Lord kyrios in the ho purpose prothesis of their ho hearts kardia, ²⁴ for hoti he was eimi a good agathos man anēr, · kai full plērēs of the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma and kai of faith pistis. And kai a considerable number hikanos of people ochlos were brought prostithēmi to the ho Lord kyrios. ²⁵ So de Barnabas went exerchomai to eis Tarsus Tarsos to look anazēteō for Saul Saulos, ²⁶ and kai when he had found heuriskō him, he brought agō him to eis Antioch Antiocheia. · de · kai For a whole holos year eniautos they autos met synagō with en the ho church ekklēsia and kai taught didaskō a considerable number hikanos of people ochlos. And te in en Antioch Antiocheia the ho disciples mathētēs were chrēmatizō first prōtōs called chrēmatizō Christians Christianos.

²⁷ During en these houtos · de · ho days hēmera prophets prophētēs came katerchomai down from apo Jerusalem Hierosolyma to eis Antioch Antiocheia. ²⁸ And de one heis of ek them autos stood up anistēmi, named onoma Agabus Hagabos, and indicated sēmainō by dia the ho Spirit pneuma that there would mellō be eimi a great megas famine limos over epi all holos the ho world oikoumenē ( which hostis took ginomai place in epi the days of Claudius Klaudios). ²⁹ So de each hekastos of the ho disciples mathētēs, according kathōs to his tis financial euporeō ability , resolved horizō to send pempō relief autos eis to the ho brothers adelphos living katoikeō in en · ho Judea Ioudaia, ³⁰ and kai they did poieō so hos, sending apostellō it to pros the ho elders presbyteros by dia the hand cheir of Barnabas Barnabas and kai Saul Saulos.

12 About kata that ekeinos · de · ho time kairos Herod hērōdēs the ho king basileus set epiballō his ho hand cheir to mistreat kakoō some tis · ho belonging apo to the ho church ekklēsia. ² He had James Iakōbos the ho brother adelphos of John Iōannēs put to death anaireō · de with the sword machaira, ³ and de when he saw that hoti it pleased arestos the ho Jews Ioudaios, he proceeded prostithēmi to arrest syllambanō Peter Petros also kai. This was eimi · de during the ho days hēmera of ho Unleavened azymos Bread . ⁴ When he had seized piazō him hos, · kai he put tithēmi him in eis prison phylakē, handing paradidōmi him over to four tessares squads tetradion of four soldiers stratiōtēs each to guard phylassō him autos, intending boulomai after meta the ho Passover pascha to bring anagō him autos out to the ho people laos. ⁵ · ho So oun Peter Petros was kept tēreō in en · ho prison phylakē, but de prayer proseuchē was eimi made ginomai earnestly ektenōs to pros God theos for peri him autos by hypo the ho church ekklēsia. · ho

⁶ Now de when hote Herod hērōdēs was about mellō to bring proagō him autos out , · ho on ho that very ekeinos night nyx, Peter Petros was eimi · ho asleep koimaō between metaxy two dyo soldiers stratiōtēs, bound deō with two dyo chains halysis; and te guards phylax before pro the ho door thura were guarding tēreō the ho prison phylakē. ⁷ And kai behold idou, an angel angelos of the Lord kyrios suddenly appeared ephistēmi, and kai a light phōs shone lampō in en the ho cell oikēma. He struck patassō · de the ho side pleura of ho Peter Petros and woke egeirō him autos, saying legō, “ Get anistēmi up quickly en tachos.” And kai his autos chains halysis fell ekpiptō · ho off ek his ho hands cheir. ⁸ And de the ho angel angelos said legō to pros him autos, “ Dress zōnnymi yourself and kai put hypodeō on · ho your sy sandals sandalion.” And de he did poieō so houtōs. And kai he said legō to him autos, “ Wrap periballō · ho your sy cloak himation around yourself and kai follow akoloutheō me egō.” ⁹ And kai he went exerchomai out and followed akoloutheō him, and kai he did not ou know oida that hoti what ho was being done ginomai by dia the ho angel angelos was eimi real alēthēs, but de thought dokeō he was seeing blepō a vision horama. ¹⁰ When they had passed dierchomai · de the first prōtos guard phylakē and kai the second deuteros, they came erchomai to epi the ho iron sidērous gate pylē · ho that ho leads pherō into eis the ho city polis, which hostis of its own automatos accord opened anoigō for them autos, and kai they went out exerchomai and went proerchomai down one heis street rhymē, and kai immediately eutheōs the ho angel angelos left aphistēmi him autos. ¹¹ · kai · ho When ginomai Peter Petros came ginomai to en himself heautou, he said legō, “ Now nyn I know oida for certain alēthōs that hoti the ho Lord kyrios has sent exapostellō · ho his autos angel angelos and kai rescued exaireō me egō from ek the hand cheir of Herod hērōdēs and kai from all pas that ho the ho Jewish Ioudaios people laos were expecting prosdokia.” · ho ¹² When he realized synoraō this, he went erchomai to epi the ho house oikia of ho Mary Maria, the ho mother mētēr of John Iōannēs whose ho other epikaleō name was Mark Markos, where hou there were eimi many hikanos gathered synathroizō together and kai praying proseuchomai. ¹³ And de when he autos knocked krouō at the ho door thura of the ho gateway pylōn, a servant girl paidiskē named onoma Rhoda Rhodē came proserchomai to answer hypakouō. ¹⁴ · kai When she recognized epiginōskō · ho Peter’ s Petros voice phōnē, · ho because apo of her ho joy chara she did not ou open anoigō the ho gate pylōn, but de ran eistrechō back inside and reported apangellō that Peter Petros was standing histēmi · ho at pro the ho gate pylōn. ¹⁵ They ho · de said legō to pros her autos, “ You are out mainomai of your mind .” But de she ho insisted diischurizomai that it was echō so houtōs. They ho · de kept saying legō, “ It is eimi his autos · ho angel angelos!” ¹⁶ · ho But de Peter Petros continued epimenō knocking krouō; and de when they opened anoigō, they saw him autos and kai were astonished existēmi. ¹⁷ But de Peter motioned kataseiō to them autos with his ho hand cheir to be silent sigaō, and he related diēgeomai how pōs the ho Lord kyrios had brought exagō him autos out ek of the ho prison phylakē. And te he said legō, “ Tell apangellō these things houtos to James Iakōbos and kai to the ho brothers adelphos.” Then kai he departed exerchomai and went poreuō to eis another heteros place topos.

¹⁸ Now de when day hēmera came ginomai, there was eimi no ou little oligos commotion tarachos among en the ho soldiers stratiōtēs as to what tis had become ginomai of · ho Peter Petros. ¹⁹ And de after Herod hērōdēs searched epizēteō for him autos and kai could not mē find heuriskō him, he examined anakrinō the ho guards phylax and ordered keleuō them to be executed apagō. Then kai he went katerchomai down from apo · ho Judea Ioudaia to eis Caesarea Kaisareia and stayed diatribō there.

²⁰ Now de Herod was eimi very angry thumomacheō with the Tyrinians Tyrios and kai the Sidonians Sidōnios, and de with one accord homothumadon they came pareimi to pros him autos and kai when they had persuaded peithō Blastus Blastos, who ho was in epi charge of the ho bed-chamber koitōn of the ho king basileus, they asked aiteō for peace eirēnē because dia · ho their autos country’ s chōra food-supply trephō · ho was provided by apo the ho king’ s basilikos country. ²¹ On an appointed taktos · de day hēmera · ho Herod hērōdēs put endyō on his royal basilikos robes esthēs, · kai sat kathizō down on epi the ho judgment bēma seat , and delivered dēmēgoreō an oration to pros them autos. ²² But de the ho crowd dēmos began to shout epiphōneō, “It is the voice phōnē of a god theos, and kai not ou of a man anthrōpos!” ²³ And de immediately parachrēma an angel angelos of kyrios the Lord kyrios struck Herod autos down patassō because anti hos he did not ou give didōmi the ho glory doxa to ho God theos, and kai he was ginomai eaten skōlēkobrōtos by worms and died ekpsychō.

²⁴ But de the ho word logos of ho God theos continued to advance auxanō and kai gain plēthunō adherents . ²⁵ And de Barnabas Barnabas and kai Saul Saulos returned hypostrephō from eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm having completed plēroō their ho mission diakonia, taking symparalambanō with them John Iōannēs, whose ho other name epikaleō was Mark Markos.

13 Now de there were eimi in en Antioch Antiocheia in kata the ho local eimi church ekklēsia prophets prophētēs and kai teachers didaskalos, · ho both te Barnabas Barnabas and kai Simeon Symeōn who ho was called kaleō Niger Niger, · kai Lucius Loukios the ho Cyrenian Kyrēnaios, and te Manaen Manaēn, the foster-brother syntrophos of Herod hērōdēs the ho tetrarch tetraarchēs, and kai Saul Saulos. ² While they autos were performing leitourgeō their service · de to the ho Lord kyrios and kai fasting nēsteuō, the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma said legō, · ho “ Set aphorizō apart for me egō · ho Barnabas Barnabas and kai Saul Saulos for eis the ho work ergon to which hos I have called proskaleō them autos.” ³ Then tote after fasting nēsteuō and kai praying proseuchomai · kai they laid epitithēmi their ho hands cheir on them autos and sent apolyō them off .

⁴ So oun they autos, being sent ekpempō out by hypo the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, went down katerchomai to eis Seleucia Seleukeia, and te from there ekeithen they sailed apopleō to eis Cyprus Kypros. ⁵ And kai when they arrived ginomai in en Salamis Salamis, they began to proclaim katangellō the ho word logos of ho God theos in en the ho synagogues synagōgē of the ho Jews Ioudaios, and de they also kai had echō John Iōannēs as their assistant hypēretēs. ⁶ When they had gone dierchomai through · de the ho whole holos island nēsos as achri far as Paphos Paphos, they met heuriskō a certain tis man anēr, a magician magos, a Jewish Ioudaios false pseudoprophētēs prophet named hos onoma Bar-Jesus Bariēsous, ⁷ who hos was eimi with syn the ho proconsul anthypatos Sergius Sergios Paulus Paulos, an intelligent synetos man anēr. This houtos man summoned proskaleō Barnabas Barnabas and kai Saul Saulos and wanted epizēteō to hear akouō the ho word logos of ho God theos. ⁸ But de Elymas Elymas the ho magician magos ( for gar that is the way houtōs his autos name onoma is translated methermēneuō) · ho opposed anthistēmi them autos, trying zēteō to turn diastrephō the ho proconsul anthypatos away apo from the ho faith pistis. ⁹ But de Saul Saulos, who ho is also kai Paul Paulos, filled pimplēmi with the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, looked atenizō intently at eis him autos ¹⁰ and said legō, “ O ō man full plērēs of all pas kinds of deceit dolos and kai all pas fraud rhadiourgia, son hyios of the devil diabolos, enemy echthros of all pas righteousness dikaiosynē, will you not ou stop pauō making diastrephō crooked the ho straight paths hodos of the ho Lord kyrios? · ho ¹¹ And kai now nyn, behold idou, the hand cheir of the Lord kyrios is upon epi you sy, and kai you will be eimi blind typhlos, not mē seeing blepō the ho sun hēlios for achri a time kairos.” And te immediately parachrēma fell piptō upon epi him autos mist achlys and kai darkness skotos, and kai as he went periagō about he sought zēteō someone to lead cheiragōgos him by the hand . ¹² Then tote the ho proconsul anthypatos believed pisteuō, when he saw what ho had occurred ginomai, for he was astonished ekplēssō at epi the ho teaching didachē of the ho Lord kyrios.

¹³ Then de Paul Paulos and those ho with peri him put anagō out to sea from apo · ho Paphos Paphos and came erchomai to eis Perga Pergē of ho Pamphylia Pamphylia. John Iōannēs, however de, left apochōreō them autos and returned hypostrephō to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma; ¹⁴ but de they autos went dierchomai on from apo · ho Perga Pergē and arrived paraginomai at eis Pisidian Pisidia Antioch Antiocheia. · ho · kai On the ho sabbath sabbaton day hēmera they went erchomai into eis the ho synagogue synagōgē · ho and sat kathizō down . ¹⁵ After meta · de the ho reading anagnōsis from the ho Law nomos and kai the ho Prophets prophētēs, the ho rulers of the synagogue archisynagōgos sent apostellō a message to pros them autos, saying legō, “ My brothers anēr, if ei there is eimi any tis among en you hymeis with a word logos of encouragement paraklēsis for pros the ho people laos, say legō it.” ¹⁶ So de Paul Paulos stood anistēmi up , and kai gesturing kataseiō with his ho hand cheir, said legō, “ Men anēr of Israel Israēlitēs and kai you who ho fear phobeomai · ho God theos, listen akouō: ¹⁷ The ho God theos of ho this houtos people laos Israel Israēl chose eklegomai · ho our hēmeis fathers patēr and kai made the ho people laos great hypsoō during en their ho stay paroikia in en the land gē of Egypt Aigyptos; then kai with meta uplifted hypsēlos arm brachiōn he led exagō them autos out ek of it autos. ¹⁸ And kai for chronos about hōs forty tesserakontaetēs years he put tropophoreō up with their autos ways in en the ho wilderness erēmos. ¹⁹ · kai After he had destroyed kathaireō seven hepta nations ethnos in en the land gē of Canaan Chanaan, he gave kataklēronomeō them · ho their autos land gē as an inheritance . ²⁰ All this took about hōs four hundred tetrakosioi fifty pentēkonta years etos. · kai · kai After meta this houtos he gave didōmi them judges kritēs until heōs Samuel Samouēl the ho prophet prophētēs. ²¹ Then kakeithen they asked aiteō for a king basileus, and kai God theos gave didōmi them autos · ho · ho Saul Saoul, son hyios of Kish Kis, a man anēr from ek the tribe phylē of Benjamin Beniamin, who ruled forty tesserakonta years etos. ²² · kai After removing methistēmi him autos, he raised egeirō up · ho David Dauid to be eis their autos king basileus, of whom hos · kai he said legō by way of testimony martyreō: ‘ I have found heuriskō in David Dauid the ho son of ho Jesse Iessai a man anēr after kata · ho my egō heart kardia, who hos will do poieō everything pas · ho I egō want thelēma him to.’ ²³ It was from apo the ho offspring sperma of this man houtos that · ho God theos according kata to promise epangelia brought agō to ho Israel Israēl a savior sōtēr, Jesus Iēsous. ²⁴ Before pro his autos coming eisodos John Iōannēs had proclaimed prokēryssō · ho a baptism baptisma of repentance metanoia to all pas the ho people laos of Israel Israēl. ²⁵ And de as hōs John Iōannēs was completing plēroō his ho ministry dromos, he said legō repeatedly , ‘ What tis do you suppose hyponoeō me egō to be eimi?

²⁶ “ My brothers anēr, sons hyios of the family genos of Abraham Abraam, and kai those ho among en you hymeis who fear phobeomai · ho God theos, it is to us hēmeis that the ho message logos of ho this houtos salvation sōtēria has been sent exapostellō. ²⁷ For gar those ho who live katoikeō in en Jerusalem Ierousalēm and kai · ho their autos rulers archōn, because they did not recognize agnoeō him houtos nor kai understand the ho utterances phōnē of the ho prophets prophētēs, which ho are read anaginōskō every pas Sabbath sabbaton, fulfilled plēroō them by condemning krinō him. ²⁸ And kai though they found heuriskō no mēdeis crime aitia deserving death thanatos, they asked aiteō Pilate Pilatos to have him autos executed anaireō. ²⁹ And de when hōs they had carried teleō out everything pas that ho was written graphō about peri him autos, they took kathaireō him down from apo the ho tree xylon and laid tithēmi him in eis a tomb mnēmeion. ³⁰ · ho But de God theos raised egeirō him autos from ek the dead nekros, ³¹ and he hos was seen horaō for epi many polys days hēmera by those ho who had gone synanabainō up with him autos from apo · ho Galilee Galilaia to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, who hostis are eimi now nyn his autos witnesses martys to pros the ho people laos. ³² And kai we hēmeis are telling you hymeis the good news euangelizō regarding the ho promise epangelia that was made ginomai to pros the ho fathers patēr, ³³ that hoti God theos has fulfilled ekplēroō this houtos · ho for us hēmeis, · ho their autos children teknon, by raising anistēmi Jesus Iēsous; as hōs also kai in en the ho second deuteros Psalm psalmos it is written graphō, · ho ‘ You sy are eimi my egō Son hyios; today sēmeron I egō have begotten gennaō you sy.’ ³⁴ But de regarding the fact that hoti he has raised anistēmi Jesus autos from ek the dead nekros, no mēketi more about mellō to return hypostrephō to eis corruption diaphthora, thus houtōs he said legō: ‘ I will give didōmi to you hymeis the ho sacred hosios and sure pistos promises made to David Dauid.’ · ho ³⁵ So dioti also kai in en another heteros psalm he says legō, ‘ You will not ou let didōmi · ho your sy Holy hosios One see corruption diaphthora.’ ³⁶ For gar David Dauid, after he had served hypēreteō the ho purpose boulē of ho God theos in his own idios generation genea, fell koimaō asleep and kai was laid prostithēmi with pros · ho his autos fathers patēr and kai saw corruption diaphthora, ³⁷ but de he whom hos · ho God theos raised egeirō up did not ou see corruption diaphthora. ³⁸ Therefore oun let it be eimi known gnōstos to you hymeis, my brothers anēr, that hoti through dia this houtos one forgiveness aphesis of sins hamartia is being proclaimed katangellō to you hymeis; and kai from apo all pas from which hos you could dynamai not ou be set free dikaioō by en the law nomos of Moses Mōysēs, ³⁹ by en this houtos man everyone pas who ho believes pisteuō is set free dikaioō. ⁴⁰ Take blepō care then oun that what ho was spoken legō in en the ho prophets prophētēs does eperchomai not mē happen eperchomai to you. ⁴¹ ‘Look, you ho scoffers kataphronētēs; · kai be amazed thaumazō and kai perish aphanizō!
