οἱ They μέν indeed οὖν therefore διαμαρτυράμενοι having earnestly testified, καί and λαλήσαντες having spoken τόν the λόγον word τοῦ of the Κυρίου Lord, ὑπέστρεφον traveled back εἰς to Ἱεροσόλυμα, Jerusalem, πολλάς to many τέ then κώμας villages τῶν of the Σαμαριτῶν Samaritans εὐηγγελίζοντο. they were preaching the gospel.

Ἄγγελος An angel δέ now Κυρίου of [the] Lord ἐλάλησεν spoke πρός to Φίλιππον Philip, λέγων· saying, Ἀνάστηθι Rise up καί and πορεύου go κατά toward μεσημβρίαν [the] south, ἐπί to τήν the ὁδόν road τήν - καταβαίνουσαν going down ἀπό from Ἰερουσαλήμ Jerusalem εἰς to Γάζαν, Gaza. αὕτη This ἐστίν is ἔρημος.

Isaiah. Εἶπεν Said δέ then τό the Πνεῦμα Spirit τῷ - Φιλίππῳ· to Philip, Πρόσελθε Go near καί and κολλήθητι join yourself τῷ to the ἅρματι chariot τούτῳ. this. Προσδραμών Having run up δέ then, ὁ - Φίλιππος Philip ἤκουσεν heard αὐτοῦ him ἀναγινώσκοντος reading Ἠσαΐαν Isaiah τόν the προφήτην prophet, καί and εἶπεν· said, Ἆρα Then γέ also γινώσκεις understand you ἅ what ἀναγινώσκεις; you are reading? ὁ - δέ And εἶπεν· he said, Πῶς How γάρ for ἄν - δυναίμην could I be able ἐάν if μή not τὶς someone ὁδηγήσει will guide με; me? παρεκάλεσεν He invited τέ then τόν - Φίλιππον Philip, ἀναβάντα having come up, καθίσαι to sit σύν with αὐτῷ. him. ἡ - δέ Now περιοχή the passage τῆς of the γραφῆς Scripture ἥν which ἀνεγίνωσκεν he was reading ἦν was αὕτη· this: ὡς As πρόβατον a sheep ἐπί to σφαγήν slaughter ἤχθη He was led, καί and ὡς as ἀμνός a lamb ἐναντίον before τοῦ the [one] κείραντος shearing αὐτόν him ἄφωνος, [is] silent, οὕτως so οὐ not ἀνοίγει He opens τό the στόμα mouth αὐτοῦ. of Him. ἐν In τῇ the ταπεινώσει humiliation αὐτοῦ of Him, ἡ - κρίσις justice αὐτοῦ from Him ἤρθη· was taken away. τήν The γενεάν generation αὐτοῦ of Him, τίς who διηγήσεται; will describe? ὅτι For αἴρεται is removed ἀπό from τῆς the γῆς earth ἡ the ζωή life αὐτοῦ. of Him.”

Ἀποκριθείς Answering δέ now, ὁ the εὐνοῦχος eunuch τῷ - Φιλίππῳ to Philip εἶπεν· said, Δέομαι I pray σου, you, περί concerning τίνος whom ὁ the προφήτης prophet λέγει says τοῦτο; this? περί Concerning ἑαυτοῦ himself, ἤ or περί concerning ἑτέρου other τινός; some? Ἀνοίξας Having opened δέ then ὁ - Φίλιππος Philip τό the στόμα mouth αὐτοῦ of him καί and ἀρξάμενος having begun ἀπό from τῆς the γραφῆς Scripture ταύτης this, εὐηγγελίσατο he proclaimed the good news αὐτῷ to him — τόν - Ἰησοῦν. Jesus. ὡς As δέ then ἐπορεύοντο they were going κατά along τήν the ὁδόν, road, ἦλθον they came ἐπί upon τὶ some ὕδωρ, water, καί and φησίν says ὁ the εὐνοῦχος· eunuch, Ἰδού Behold ὕδωρ, water; τί what κωλύει prevents με me βαπτισθῆναι; to be baptized?” καί And ἐκέλευσεν he commanded στῆναι to stop τό the ἅρμα chariot. καί And κατέβησαν they went down ἀμφότεροι both εἰς to τό the ὕδωρ, water, ὅ - τέ both Φίλιππος Philip καί and ὁ the εὐνοῦχος, eunuch, καί and ἐβάπτισεν he baptized αὐτόν. him. Ὅτε When δέ now ἀνέβησαν they came up ἐκ out of τοῦ the ὕδατος, water, Πνεῦμα [the] Spirit Κυρίου of [the] Lord ἥρπασεν carried away τόν - Φίλιππον Philip, καί and οὐ not εἶδεν saw αὐτόν him οὐκέτι no longer ὁ the εὐνοῦχος, eunuch; ἐπορεύετο he went γάρ for τήν the ὁδόν way αὐτοῦ of him, χαίρων. rejoicing. Φίλιππος Philip δέ however εὑρέθη was found εἰς at Ἄζωτον· Azotus, καί and διερχόμενος passing through, εὐηγγελίζετο he was proclaiming the gospel τάς to the πόλεις towns πάσας all, ἕως until τοῦ - ἐλθεῖν coming αὐτόν his εἰς to Καισάρειαν.

ὁ - Δέ But Σαῦλος Saul, ἔτι still ἐμπνέων breathing out ἀπειλῆς threats καί and φόνου murder εἰς toward τούς the μαθητάς disciples τοῦ of the Κυρίου, Lord, προσελθών having gone τῷ to the ἀρχιερεῖ high priest, ᾐτήσατο requested παρ ̓ from αὐτοῦ him ἐπιστολάς letters εἰς in Δαμασκόν Damascus πρός to τάς the συναγωγάς, synagogues, ὅπως so that ἐάν if τινάς any εὕρῃ he found τῆς of the Ὁδοῦ way, ὄντας, being ἄνδρας men τέ both καί and γυναῖκας, women, δεδεμένους having bound, ἀγάγῃ he might bring [them] εἰς to Ἰερουσαλήμ. Jerusalem. ἐν In δέ now τῷ - πορεύεσθαι proceeding, ἐγένετο it came to pass αὐτόν [as] he ἐγγίζειν draws near τῇ - Δαμασκῷ, to Damascus, ἐξαίφνης suddenly τέ also αὐτόν him περιήστραψεν flashed around φῶς a light ἐκ from τοῦ - οὐρανοῦ heaven. καί And πεσών having fallen ἐπί on τήν the γῆν ground, ἤκουσεν he heard φωνήν a voice λέγουσαν saying αὐτῷ· to him, Σαούλ Saul, Σαούλ, Saul, τί why με Me διώκεις; do you persecute? Εἶπεν He said δέ· then, Τίς Who εἶ, are You, Κύριε; Lord? ὁ - δέ· And [He said], Ἐγώ I εἰμί am Ἰησοῦς Jesus, ὅν whom σύ you διώκεις· are persecuting. ἀλλά But ἀνάστηθι rise up καί and εἴσελθε enter εἰς into τήν the πόλιν city, καί and λαληθήσεται it will be told σοι you ὅ that τί what σε you δεῖ it behooves ποιεῖν. to do. οἱ - δέ And ἄνδρες the men οἱ - συνοδεύοντες traveling with αὐτῷ him εἱστήκεισαν stood ἐνεοί, speechless, ἀκούοντες hearing μέν indeed τῆς the φωνῆς voice, μηδένα no one δέ however θεωροῦντες. seeing. ἠγέρθη Rose up δέ then Σαῦλος Saul ἀπό from τῆς the γῆς, ground; ἀνεῳγμένων having been opened δέ however τῶν the ὀφθαλμῶν eyes αὐτοῦ of him, οὐδέν nothing ἔβλεπεν· he could see. χειραγωγοῦντες Leading by the hand δέ then αὐτόν him, εἰσήγαγον they brought [him] εἰς to Δαμασκόν. Damascus. καί And ἦν he was ἡμέρας days τρεῖς three μή without βλέπων seeing, καί and οὐ neither ἔφαγεν did he eat οὐδέ nor ἔπιεν. drink.

Ἦν There was δέ now τὶς a certain μαθητής disciple ἐν in Δαμασκῷ Damascus ὀνόματι named Ἁνανίας, Ananias. καί And εἶπεν said πρός to αὐτόν him ἐν in ὁράματι a vision ὁ the Κύριος· Lord, Ἁνανία. Ananias. ὁ - δέ And εἶπεν· he said, Ἰδού Behold ἐγώ, me, Κύριε. Lord. ὁ - δέ And Κύριος the Lord πρός to αὐτόν· him [said], Ἀναστάς Having risen up, πορεύθητι go ἐπί into τήν the ῥύμην street τήν - καλουμένην called Εὐθεῖαν Straight, καί and ζήτησον seek ἐν in οἰκίᾳ [the] house Ἰούδα of Judas Σαῦλον Saul ὀνόματι named, Ταρσέα· of Tarsus. ἰδού Behold γάρ for προσεύχεται he is praying, καί and εἶδεν he saw ἄνδρα a man ἐν in ὁράματι a vision Ἁνανίαν Ananias ὀνόματι named, εἰσελθόντα having come καί and ἐπιθέντα having put αὐτῷ on him τάς the χεῖρας hands, ὅπως so that ἀναβλέψῃ. he might see again. Ἀπεκρίθη Answered δέ but Ἁνανίας· Ananias, Κύριε, Lord, ἤκουσα I have heard ἀπό from πολλῶν many περί concerning τοῦ the ἀνδρός man τούτου this, ὅσα how many κακά evils τοῖς to ἁγίοις saints σου of You ἐποίησεν he did ἐν in Ἰερουσαλήμ· Jerusalem; καί and ὧδε here ἔχει he has ἐξουσίαν authority παρά from τῶν the ἀρχιερέων chief priests δῆσαι to bind πάντας all τούς those ἐπικαλουμένους calling on τό the ὄνομα name σου. of You. Εἶπεν Said δέ however πρός to αὐτόν him ὁ the Κύριος· Lord, Πορεύου, Go, ὅτι for σκεῦος a vessel ἐκλογῆς of choice ἐστίν is μοι to Me οὗτος this [man], τοῦ - βαστάσαι to carry τό the ὄνομα name μου of Me ἐνώπιον before ἐθνῶν [the] Gentiles, τέ and καί also βασιλέων kings, υἱῶν [the] sons τέ then Ἰσραήλ· of Israel; ἐγώ I γάρ for ὑποδείξω will show αὐτῷ to him ὅσα how much δεῖ it behooves αὐτόν him ὑπέρ for τοῦ the ὀνόματος name μου of Me παθεῖν. to suffer. Ἀπῆλθεν Went away δέ then Ἁνανίας Ananias καί and εἰσῆλθεν entered εἰς into τήν the οἰκίαν house; καί and ἐπιθείς having laid ἐπ ̓ upon αὐτόν him τάς the χεῖρας hands, εἶπεν· he said, Σαούλ Saul ἀδελφέ, Brother, ὁ the Κύριος Lord ἀπέσταλκεν has sent με, me, Ἰησοῦς Jesus, ὁ the [One] ὀφθείς having appeared σοι to you ἐν on τῇ the ὁδῷ road ᾗ by which ἤρχου, you were coming, ὅπως that ἀναβλέψῃς you may see again καί and πλησθῇς be filled Πνεύματος [of the] Spirit Ἁγίου. Holy. Καί And εὐθέως immediately ἀπέπεσαν fell αὐτοῦ of him ἀπό from τῶν the ὀφθαλμῶν eyes ὡς [something] like λεπίδες, scales, ἀνέβλεψεν he regained his sight τέ also. καί And ἀναστάς having risen up, ἐβαπτίσθη he was baptized; καί and λαβών having taken τροφήν food, ἐνίσχυσεν. he was strengthened.

Ἐγένετο He was δέ now μετά with τῶν the ἐν in Δαμασκῷ Damascus μαθητῶν disciples ἡμέρας days τινάς some. Καί And εὐθέως immediately ἐν in ταῖς the συναγωγαῖς synagogues ἐκήρυσσεν he began proclaiming τόν - Ἰησοῦν Jesus, ὅτι that οὗτος He ἐστίν is ὁ the Υἱός Son τοῦ - Θεοῦ. of God. Ἐξίσταντο Were amazed δέ then πάντες all οἱ - ἀκούοντες hearing, καί and ἔλεγον· were saying, οὐχ Not οὗτος this ἐστίν is ὁ the [one] πορθήσας having ravaged εἰς in Ἰερουσαλήμ Jerusalem τούς those ἐπικαλουμένους calling on τό the ὄνομα name τοῦτο, this? καί And ὧδε here εἰς for τοῦτο this ἐληλύθει he had come, ἵνα that δεδεμένους having been bound, αὐτούς them ἀγάγῃ he might bring ἐπί to τούς the ἀρχιερεῖς; chief priests. Σαῦλος Saul δέ however μᾶλλον all the more ἐνεδυναμοῦτο was empowered, καί and συνέχυννεν kept confounding τούς the Ἰουδαίους Jews τούς - κατοικοῦντας dwelling ἐν in Δαμασκῷ Damascus, συμβιβάζων proving ὅτι that οὗτος this ἐστίν is ὁ the Χριστός. Christ.

ὡς When δέ now ἐπληροῦντο had passed ἡμέραι days ἱκαναί, many, συνεβουλεύσαντο plotted together οἱ the Ἰουδαῖοι Jews ἀνελεῖν to kill αὐτόν· him; ἐγνώσθη became known δέ however τῷ - Σαύλῳ to Saul ἡ the ἐπιβουλή plot αὐτῶν. of them. παρετηροῦντο They were closely watching δέ now καί also τάς the πύλας gates ἡμέρας day τέ and καί also νυκτός night, ὅπως so that αὐτόν him ἀνέλωσιν· they might kill; λαβόντες having taken [him] δέ however οἱ the μαθηταί disciples αὐτοῦ of him νυκτός by night, διά through τοῦ the τείχους wall καθῆκαν they let down αὐτόν him, χαλάσαντες having lowered [him] ἐν in σπυρίδι. a basket.

Παραγενόμενος Having arrived δέ then εἰς in Ἰερουσαλήμ Jerusalem, ἐπείραζεν he was attempting κολλᾶσθαι to join τοῖς the μαθηταῖς, disciples. καί And πάντες all ἐφοβοῦντο were afraid of αὐτόν him, μή not πιστεύοντες believing ὅτι that ἐστίν he is μαθητής. a disciple. Βαρνάβας Barnabas δέ however, ἐπιλαβόμενος having taken αὐτόν him, ἤγαγεν brought [him] πρός to τούς the ἀποστόλους apostles, καί and διηγήσατο he related αὐτοῖς to them πῶς how ἐν on τῇ the ὁδῷ road εἶδεν he had seen τόν the Κύριον Lord, καί and ὅτι that ἐλάλησεν He had spoken αὐτῷ to him, καί and πῶς how ἐν in Δαμασκῷ Damascus ἐπαρρησιάσατο he had spoken boldly ἐν in τῷ the ὀνόματι name τοῦ - Ἰησοῦ. of Jesus. Καί And ἦν he was μετ ̓ with αὐτῶν them, εἰσπορευόμενος coming in καί and ἐκπορευόμενος going out εἰς in Ἰερουσαλήμ, Jerusalem, παρρησιαζόμενος speaking boldly ἐν in τῷ the ὀνόματι name τοῦ of Κυρίου, [the] Lord. ἐλάλει He was speaking τέ also καί and συνεζήτει was debating πρός with τούς the Ἑλληνιστάς, Hellenists; οἱ - δέ but ἐπεχείρουν they were seeking ἀνελεῖν to kill αὐτόν. him. ἐπιγνόντες Having known [it] δέ however, οἱ the ἀδελφοί brothers κατήγαγον brought down αὐτόν him εἰς to Καισάρειαν Caesarea καί and ἐξαπέστειλαν sent away αὐτόν him εἰς to Ταρσόν. Tarsus.

ἡ The μέν indeed οὖν then ἐκκλησία church καθ ̓ throughout ὅλης all τῆς - Ἰουδαίας of Judea, καί and Γαλιλαίας Galilee, καί and Σαμαρείας Samaria, εἶχεν had εἰρήνην peace, οἰκοδομουμένη being edified καί and πορευομένη going on τῷ in the φόβῳ fear τοῦ of the Κυρίου Lord; καί and τῇ in the παρακλήσει comfort τοῦ of the Ἁγίου Holy Πνεύματος Spirit ἐπληθύνετο. they were multiplied.

Ἐγένετο It came to pass that δέ now Πέτρον Peter, διερχόμενον passing διά through πάντων all [quarters], κατελθεῖν went down καί also πρός to τούς the ἁγίους saints τούς - κατοικοῦντας inhabiting Λύδδα. Lydda. εὗρεν He found δέ then ἐκεῖ there ἄνθρωπον a man τινά certain, ὀνόματι named Αἰνέαν Aeneas, ἐκ for ἐτῶν years ὀκτώ eight κατακείμενον lying ἐπί on κραβάττου, a bed, ὅς who ἦν was παραλελυμένος. paralyzed. καί And εἶπεν said αὐτῷ to him ὁ - Πέτρος· Peter, Αἰνέα, Aeneas, ἰᾶται heals σε you Ἰησοῦς Jesus Χριστός· Christ; ἀνάστηθι rise up, καί and στρῶσον make the bed σεαυτῷ. for yourself. καί And εὐθέως immediately ἀνέστη. he rose up. καί And εἶδαν saw αὐτόν him πάντες all οἱ those κατοικοῦντες inhabiting Λύδδα Lydda καί and τόν - Σαρῶνα, Sharon, οἵτινες who ἐπέστρεψαν turned ἐπί to τόν the Κύριον.

ἐν In Ἰόππῃ Joppa δέ now τὶς certain ἦν there was μαθήτρια a disciple ὀνόματι named Ταβιθά, Tabitha, ἥ which διερμηνευομένη translated λέγεται is called Δορκάς· Dorcas. αὕτη She ἦν was πλήρης full of ἔργων works ἀγαθῶν good, καί and ἐλεημοσυνῶν of alms ὧν that ἐποίει. she continually did. ἐγένετο It came to pass δέ however, ἐν in ταῖς the ἡμέραις days ἐκείναις those, ἀσθενήσασαν [that] having become sick, αὐτήν she ἀποθανεῖν· died. λούσαντες Having washed [her] δέ then, ἔθηκαν put [her] αὐτήν they ἐν in ὑπερῴῳ. an upper room. ἐγγύς Near δέ now οὔσης being Λύδδας Lydda τῇ - Ἰόππῃ Joppa, οἱ the μαθηταί disciples, ἀκούσαντες having heard ὅτι that Πέτρος Peter ἐστίν is ἐν in αὐτῇ it, ἀπέστειλαν sent δύο two ἄνδρας men πρός to αὐτόν him, παρακαλοῦντες· imploring , Μή Not ὀκνήσῃς to delay διελθεῖν coming ἕως to ἡμῶν. us. Ἀναστάς Having risen up δέ then, Πέτρος Peter συνῆλθεν went with αὐτοῖς· them, ὅν who παραγενόμενον having arrived, ἀνήγαγον brought [him] εἰς into τό the ὑπερῷον upper room. καί And παρέστησαν stood by αὐτῷ him πᾶσαι all αἱ the χῆραι widows, κλαίουσαι weeping καί and ἐπιδεικνύμεναι showing χιτῶνας [the] tunics καί and ἱμάτια garments ὅσα that ἐποίει had made, μετ ̓ with αὐτῶν them οὖσα being, ἡ - Δορκάς.
