AND the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

Ἤκουσαν δὲ οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ οἱ ὄντες κατὰ τὴν Ἰουδαίαν ὅτι καὶ τὰ ἔθνη ἐδέξαντο τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

Слы́шаша же а҆пⷭ҇ли и҆ бра́тїѧ сꙋ́щїи во і҆ꙋде́и, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ ꙗ҆зы́цы прїѧ́ша сло́во бж҃їе.

2

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

καὶ ὅτε ἀνέβη Πέτρος εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, διεκρίνοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ ἐκ περιτομῆς

И҆ є҆гда̀ взы́де пе́тръ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, препира́хꙋсѧ съ ни́мъ и҆̀же ѿ ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ,

3

Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

λέγοντες ὅτι πρὸς ἄνδρας ἀκροβυστίαν ἔχοντας εἰσῆλθες καὶ συνέφαγες αὐτοῖς.

глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ къ мꙋжє́мъ ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ не и҆мꙋ́щымъ вше́лъ є҆сѝ и҆ ꙗ҆́лъ є҆сѝ съ ни́ми.

4

But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,

ἀρξάμενος δὲ ὁ Πέτρος ἐξετίθετο αὐτοῖς καθεξῆς λέγων·

Наче́нъ же пе́тръ, ска́зоваше и҆̀мъ порѧ́дꙋ, глаго́лѧ:

5

I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

ἐγὼ ἤμην ἐν πόλει Ἰόππῃ προσευχόμενος, καὶ εἶδον ἐν ἐκστάσει ὅραμα, καταβαῖνον σκεῦός τι ὡς ὀθόνην μεγάλην τέσσαρσιν ἀρχαῖς καθιεμένην ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἦλθεν ἄχρις ἐμοῦ·

а҆́зъ бѣ́хъ во гра́дѣ і҆ѻппі́йстѣмъ молѧ́сѧ и҆ ви́дѣхъ во ᲂу҆́жасѣ видѣ́нїе, сходѧ́щь сосꙋ́дъ нѣ́кїй, ꙗ҆́кѡ плащани́цꙋ ве́лїю, ѿ четы́рехъ кра́євъ низпꙋща́емꙋ съ небесѐ, и҆ прїи́де да́же до менє̀:

6

Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

εἰς ἣν ἀτενίσας κατενόουν, καὶ εἶδον τὰ τετράποδα τῆς γῆς καὶ τὰ θηρία καὶ τὰ ἑρπετὰ καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.

въ ню́же воззрѣ́въ смотрѧ́хъ, и҆ ви́дѣхъ четверонѡ́гаѧ земна̑ѧ и҆ ѕвѣ̑ри и҆ га́ды и҆ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ.

7

And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

ἤκουσα δὲ φωνῆς λεγούσης μοι· ἀναστάς, Πέτρε, θῦσον καὶ φάγε.

Слы́шахъ же гла́съ гл҃ющь мнѣ̀: воста́въ, пе́тре, заколѝ и҆ ꙗ҆́ждь.

8

But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

εἶπον δέ, μηδαμῶς, Κύριε· ὅτι πᾶν κοινὸν ἢ ἀκάθαρτον οὐδέποτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου.

Рѣ́хъ же: ника́коже, гдⷭ҇и, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́ко скве́рно и҆лѝ нечи́сто николи́же вни́де во ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑.

9

But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

ἀπεκρίθη δέ μοι φωνὴ ἐκ δευτέρου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· ἃ ὁ Θεὸς ἐκαθάρισε σὺ μὴ κοίνου.

Ѿвѣща́ же мѝ гла́съ втори́цею съ небесѐ гл҃ющь: ꙗ҆̀же бг҃ъ ѡ҆чⷭ҇тилъ є҆́сть, ты̀ не сквернѝ.

10

And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

τοῦτο δὲ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τρίς, καὶ πάλιν ἀνεσπάσθη ἅπαντα εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.

Сїе́ же бы́сть три́жды: и҆ па́ки взѧ́шасѧ всѧ̑ на не́бо.

11

And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξαυτῆς τρεῖς ἄνδρες ἐπέστησαν ἐπὶ τὴν οἰκίαν ἐν ᾗ ἤμην, ἀπεσταλμένοι ἀπὸ Καισαρείας πρός με.

И҆ сѐ, а҆́бїе трїѐ мꙋ́жїе ста́ша пред̾ хра́миною, въ не́йже бѣ́хъ, по́слани ѿ кесарі́и ко мнѣ̀.

12

And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

εἶπε δέ μοι τὸ Πνεῦμα συνελθεῖν αὐτοῖς μηδὲν διακρινόμενον. ἦλθον δὲ σὺν ἐμοὶ καὶ οἱ ἓξ ἀδελφοὶ οὗτοι, καὶ εἰσήλθομεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀνδρός.

Рече́ же мѝ дх҃ъ и҆тѝ съ ни́ми, ничто́же разсꙋжда́ѧ: прїидо́ша же со мно́ю и҆ ше́сть бра́тїѧ сі́и, и҆ внидо́хомъ въ до́мъ мꙋ́жа.

13

And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

ἀπήγγειλέ τε ἡμῖν πῶς εἶδε τὸν ἄγγελον ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ σταθέντα καὶ εἰπόντα αὐτῷ· ἀπόστειλον εἰς Ἰόππην ἄνδρας καὶ μετάπεμψαι Σίμωνα τὸν ἐπικαλούμενον Πέτρον,

И҆ возвѣстѝ на́мъ, ка́кѡ ви́дѣ а҆́гг҃ла (ст҃а) въ домꙋ̀ свое́мъ, ста́вша и҆ ре́кша є҆мꙋ̀: послѝ во і҆ѻппі́ю мꙋ́жы и҆ призовѝ сі́мѡна, нарица́емаго петра̀,

14

Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

ὃς λαλήσει ρήματα πρός σε, ἐν οἷς σωθήσῃ σὺ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἷκός σου.

и҆́же рече́тъ глаго́лы къ тебѣ̀, въ ни́хже сп҃се́шисѧ ты̀ и҆ ве́сь до́мъ тво́й.

15

And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

ἐν δὲ τῷ ἄρξασθαί με λαλεῖν ἐπέπεσε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς ὥσπερ καὶ ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς ἐν ἀρχῇ.

Внегда́ же нача́хъ глаго́лати, нападѐ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й на ни́хъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ на ны̀ въ нача́лѣ.

16

Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

ἐμνήσθην δὲ τοῦ ρήματος Κυρίου ὡς ἔλεγεν· Ἰωάννης μὲν ἐβάπτισεν ὕδατι, ὑμεῖς δὲ βαπτισθήσεσθε ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ.

Помѧнꙋ́хъ же гл҃го́лъ гдⷭ҇ень, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃аше: і҆ѡа́ннъ ᲂу҆́бѡ крести́лъ є҆́сть водо́ю, вы́ же и҆́мате крести́тисѧ дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ.

17

Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

εἰ οὖν τὴν ἴσην δωρεὰν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς ὡς καὶ ἡμῖν, πιστεύσασιν ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, ἐγὼ δὲ τίς ἤμην δυνατὸς κωλῦσαι τὸν Θεόν;

А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо ра́венъ да́ръ дадѐ и҆̀мъ бг҃ъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ на́мъ вѣ́ровавшымъ въ гдⷭ҇а на́шего і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, а҆́зъ же кто̀ бѣ́хъ могі́й возбрани́ти бг҃а;

18

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

ἀκούσαντες δὲ ταῦτα ἡσύχασαν καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν Θεὸν λέγοντες· ἄρα γε καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ὁ Θεὸς τὴν μετάνοιαν ἔδωκεν εἰς ζωήν.

Слы́шавше же сїѧ̑ ᲂу҆молко́ша и҆ сла́влѧхꙋ бг҃а, глаго́люще: ᲂу҆́бѡ и҆ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ бг҃ъ покаѧ́нїе дадѐ въ живо́тъ.

19

Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

Οἱ μὲν οὖν διασπαρέντες ἀπὸ τῆς θλίψεως τῆς γενομένης ἐπὶ Στεφάνῳ διῆλθον ἕως Φοινίκης καὶ Κύπρου καὶ Ἀντιοχείας, μηδενὶ λαλοῦντες τὸν λόγον εἰ μὴ μόνον Ἰουδαίοις.

[Заⷱ҇ 28] Разсѣ́ѧвшїисѧ ᲂу҆̀бо ѿ ско́рби, бы́вшїѧ при стефа́нѣ, проидо́ша да́же до фїнїкі́и и҆ кѵ́пра и҆ а҆нтїохі́и, ни є҆ди́номꙋ же глаго́люще сло́во, то́кмѡ і҆ꙋде́ємъ.

20

And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the LORD Jesus.

ἦσαν δέ τινες ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες Κύπριοι καὶ Κυρηναῖοι, οἵτινες εἰσελθόντες εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν ἐλάλουν πρὸς τοὺς ῾Ελληνιστάς, εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν.

Бѧ́хꙋ же нѣ́цыи ѿ ни́хъ мꙋ́жїе кѵ́прстїи и҆ кѷрїне́йстїи, и҆̀же, вше́дше во а҆нтїохі́ю, глаго́лахꙋ къ є҆́ллинѡмъ, благовѣствꙋ́юще гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са.

21

And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

καὶ ἦν χεὶρ Κυρίου μετ᾿ αὐτῶν, πολύς τε ἀριθμὸς πιστεύσας ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.

И҆ бѣ̀ рꙋка̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ съ ни́ми: мно́гое же число̀ вѣ́ровавше ѡ҆брати́шасѧ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ.

22

Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

Ἠκούσθη δὲ ὁ λόγος εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῆς ἐκκλησίας τῆς ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις περὶ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν Βαρνάβαν διελθεῖν ἕως Ἀντιοχείας·

Слы́шано же бы́сть сло́во ѡ҆ ни́хъ во ᲂу҆́шїю цр҃кве сꙋ́щїѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ посла́ша варна́вꙋ преитѝ да́же до а҆нтїохі́и:

23

Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

ὃς παραγενόμενος καὶ ἰδὼν τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐχάρη, καὶ παρεκάλει πάντας τῇ προθέσει τῆς καρδίας προσμένειν τῷ Κυρίῳ,

и҆́же прише́дъ и҆ ви́дѣвъ блгⷣть бж҃їю, возра́довасѧ и҆ молѧ́ше всѣ́хъ и҆зволе́нїемъ се́рдца терпѣ́ти ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ:

24

For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

ὅτι ἦν ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς καὶ πλήρης Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καὶ πίστεως καὶ προσετέθη ὄχλος ἱκανὸς τῷ Κυρίῳ.

ꙗ҆́кѡ бѣ̀ мꙋ́жъ бл҃гъ и҆ и҆спо́лнь дх҃а ст҃а и҆ вѣ́ры. И҆ приложи́сѧ наро́дъ мно́гъ гдⷭ҇еви.

25

Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

ἐξῆλθε δὲ εἰς Ταρσὸν ὁ Βαρνάβας ἀναζητῆσαι Σαῦλον, καὶ εὑρὼν αὐτὸν ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν.

И҆зы́де же варна́ва въ та́рсъ взыска́ти са́ѵла, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тъ є҆го̀, приведѐ є҆го̀ во а҆нтїохі́ю:

26

And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

ἐγένετο δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐνιαυτὸν ὅλον συναχθῆναι ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ καὶ διδάξαι ὄχλον ἱκανόν, χρηματίσαι τε πρῶτον ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ τοὺς μαθητὰς Χριστιανούς.

бы́сть же и҆̀мъ лѣ́то цѣ́ло собира́тисѧ въ цр҃кви и҆ ᲂу҆чи́ти наро́дъ мно́гъ, нарещи́ же пре́жде во а҆нтїохі́и ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ хрⷭ҇тїа́ны.

27

And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

Ἐν ταύταις δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις κατῆλθον ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων προφῆται εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν·

Въ ты̑ѧ же дни̑ снидо́ша ѿ і҆ерⷭли́ма прⷪ҇ро́цы во а҆нтїохі́ю:

28

And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

ἀναστὰς δὲ εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν ὀνόματι Ἄγαβος ἐσήμανε διὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος λιμὸν μέγαν μέλλειν ἔσεσθαι ἐφ᾿ ὅλην τὴν οἰκουμένην· ὅστις καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ Κλαυδίου Καίσαρος.

воста́въ же є҆ди́нъ ѿ ни́хъ, и҆́менемъ а҆га́въ, назна́менаше дх҃омъ гла́дъ вели́къ хотѧ́щь бы́ти по все́й вселе́ннѣй, и҆́же и҆ бы́сть при клаѵді́и ке́сари:

29

Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:

τῶν δὲ μαθητῶν καθὼς ηὐπορεῖτό τις, ὥρισαν ἕκαστος αὐτῶν εἰς διακονίαν πέμψαι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ἀδελφοῖς·

ѿ ᲂу҆чн҃къ же, по є҆ли́кꙋ кто̀ и҆мѣ́ѧше что̀, и҆зво́лиша кі́йждо и҆́хъ на слꙋ́жбꙋ посла́ти живꙋ́щымъ во і҆ꙋде́и бра́тїѧмъ,

30

Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

ὃ καὶ ἐποίησαν ἀποστείλαντες πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους διὰ χειρὸς Βαρνάβα καὶ Σαύλου.

є҆́же и҆ сотвори́ша, посла́вше къ ста́рцємъ рꙋко́ю варна́влею и҆ са́ѵлею.
