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. Dorcas. Ἐκβαλών Having put δέ then ἔξω outside πάντας all ὁ - Πέτρος Peter, καί and θείς having bowed τά the γόνατα knees, προσηύξατο he prayed. καί And ἐπιστρέψας having turned πρός to τό the σῶμα body εἶπεν· he said, Ταβιθά, Tabitha, ἀνάστηθι. arise! ἡ - δέ And ἤνοιξεν she opened τούς the ὀφθαλμούς eyes αὐτῆς, of her, καί and ἰδοῦσα having seen τόν - Πέτρον Peter, ἀνεκάθισεν. she sat up. δούς Having given δέ then αὐτῇ her χεῖρα [his] hand, ἀνέστησεν he raised up αὐτήν· her. φωνήσας Having called δέ then τούς the ἁγίους saints καί and τάς the χήρας widows, παρέστησεν he presented αὐτήν her ζῶσαν. living. Γνωστόν Known δέ then ἐγένετο it became καθ ̓ throughout ὅλης all τῆς - Ἰόππης of Joppa, καί and ἐπίστευσαν believed πολλοί many ἐπί on τόν the Κύριον. Lord. Ἐγένετο It came to pass δέ then, ἡμέρας days ἱκανάς many μεῖναι he stayed ἐν in Ἰόππῃ Joppa παρά with τινί a certain Σίμωνι Simon, βυρσεῖ. a tanner.

Ἀνήρ A man δέ now τὶς certain ἐν in Καισαρείᾳ Caesarea, ὀνόματι named Κορνήλιος, Cornelius, ἑκατοντάρχης [was] a centurion ἐκ of σπείρης [the] Cohort τῆς that καλουμένης is called Ἰταλικῆς, Italian, εὐσεβής devout καί and φοβούμενος fearing τόν - Θεόν God σύν with παντί all τῷ the οἴκῳ household αὐτοῦ, of him, ποιῶν doing ἐλεημοσύνας alms πολλάς many τῷ to the λαῷ people, καί and δεόμενος praying τοῦ to Θεοῦ God διά continually παντός, all. εἶδεν He saw ἐν in ὁράματι a vision φανερῶς clearly, ὡσεί as if περί about ὥραν hour ἐνάτην the ninth τῆς of the ἡμέρας day, ἄγγελον an angel τοῦ - Θεοῦ of God εἰσελθόντα having come πρός to αὐτόν him καί and εἰπόντα having said αὐτῷ· to him, Κορνήλιε.

Τῇ On the δέ now ἐπαύριον, next day, ὁδοιπορούντων as are journeying ἐκείνων these καί and τῇ the πόλει city ἐγγιζόντων, approaching, ἀνέβη went up Πέτρος Peter ἐπί on τό the δῶμα housetop προσεύξασθαι to pray, περί about ὥραν hour ἕκτην. the sixth. ἐγένετο He became δέ then πρόσπεινος hungry καί and ἤθελεν desired γεύσασθαι. to eat; παρασκευαζόντων [as] were preparing δέ however αὐτῶν they, ἐγένετο fell ἐπ ̓ upon αὐτόν him ἔκστασις a trance, καί and θεωρεῖ he beholds τόν - οὐρανόν heaven ἀνεῳγμένον opening, καί and καταβαῖνον descending σκεῦος a vessel τὶ certain, ὡς as ὀθόνην a sheet μεγάλην great, τέσσαρσιν by four ἀρχαῖς corners καθιέμενον being let down ἐπί upon τῆς the γῆς, earth, ἐν in ᾧ which ὑπῆρχεν were πάντα all τά the τετράποδα quadrupeds, καί and ἑρπετά creeping things τῆς of the γῆς earth, καί and πετεινά birds τοῦ of οὐρανοῦ. heaven. καί And ἐγένετο came φωνή a voice πρός to αὐτόν· him: Ἀναστάς, Having risen up, Πέτρε, Peter, θῦσον kill καί and φάγε. eat! ὁ - δέ And Πέτρος Peter εἶπεν· said, Μηδαμῶς, In no way, Κύριε, Lord; ὅτι for οὐδέποτε never ἔφαγον have I eaten πᾶν anything κοινόν common καί or ἀκάθαρτον. unclean.

Τοῦ - δέ And Πέτρου of Peter διενθυμουμένου thinking περί over τοῦ the ὁράματος vision, εἶπεν said αὐτῷ to him τό the Πνεῦμα· Spirit, Ἰδού Behold, ἄνδρες men τρεῖς three ζητοῦντες are seeking σε, you. ἀλλά But ἀναστάς having risen, κατάβηθι go down καί and πορεύου proceed σύν with αὐτοῖς them, μηδέν nothing διακρινόμενος doubting, ὅτι because ἐγώ I ἀπέσταλκα have sent αὐτούς. them. Καταβάς Having gone down δέ then Πέτρος Peter πρός to τούς the ἄνδρας men, εἶπεν· he said, Ἰδού Behold, ἐγώ I εἰμί am ὅν whom ζητεῖτε· you seek; τίς what [is] ἡ the αἰτία cause δι ̓ for ἥν which πάρεστε; you are here? οἱ - δέ And εἶπαν· they said, Κορνήλιος Cornelius ἑκατοντάρχης, a centurion, ἀνήρ a man δίκαιος righteous καί and φοβούμενος fearing τόν - Θεόν, God, μαρτυρούμενος being well testified to τέ then ὑπό by ὅλου all τοῦ the ἔθνους nation τῶν of the Ἰουδαίων, Jews, ἐχρηματίσθη was divinely instructed ὑπό by ἀγγέλου an angel ἁγίου holy μεταπέμψασθαι to send for σε you εἰς to τόν the οἶκον house αὐτοῦ of him, καί and ἀκοῦσαι to hear ῥήματα a message παρά from σοῦ. you. Εἰσκαλεσάμενος Having called in οὖν therefore αὐτούς them ἐξένισεν. he lodged [them]. Τῇ On the δέ now ἐπαύριον next day ἀναστάς having risen up, ἐξῆλθεν he went forth σύν with αὐτοῖς them, καί and τινές some τῶν of the ἀδελφῶν brothers τῶν those ἀπό from Ἰόππης Joppa συνῆλθον went with αὐτῷ. him.
