Acts 8

1And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

σαυλος δε ην συνευδοκων τη αναιρεσει αυτου εγενετο δε εν εκεινη τη ημερα διωγμος μεγας επι την εκκλησιαν την εν ιεροσολυμοις παντες τε διεσπαρησαν κατα τας χωρας της ιουδαιας και σαμαρειας πλην των αποστολων (18517)

2And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

συνεκομισαν δε τον στεφανον ανδρες ευλαβεις και εποιησαντο κοπετον μεγαν επ αυτω (6769)

3As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

σαυλος δε ελυμαινετο την εκκλησιαν κατα τους οικους εισπορευομενος συρων τε ανδρας και γυναικας παρεδιδου εις φυλακην (10715)

4Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

οι μεν ουν διασπαρεντες διηλθον ευαγγελιζομενοι τον λογον (3184)

5Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

φιλιππος δε κατελθων εις πολιν της σαμαρειας εκηρυσσεν αυτοις τον χριστον (7444)

6And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

προσειχον τε οι οχλοι τοις λεγομενοις υπο του φιλιππου ομοθυμαδον εν τω ακουειν αυτους και βλεπειν τα σημεια α εποιει (10708)

7For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.

πολλων γαρ των εχοντων πνευματα ακαθαρτα βοωντα μεγαλη φωνη εξηρχετο πολλοι δε παραλελυμενοι και χωλοι εθεραπευθησαν (12850)

8And there was great joy in that city.

και εγενετο χαρα μεγαλη εν τη πολει εκεινη (1914)

9But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

ανηρ δε τις ονοματι σιμων προυπηρχεν εν τη πολει μαγευων και εξιστων το εθνος της σαμαρειας λεγων ειναι τινα εαυτον μεγαν (11145)

10To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

ω προσειχον παντες απο μικρου εως μεγαλου λεγοντες ουτος εστιν η δυναμις του θεου η μεγαλη (9296)

11And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

προσειχον δε αυτω δια το ικανω χρονω ταις μαγειαις εξεστακεναι αυτους (8390)

12But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

οτε δε επιστευσαν τω φιλιππω ευαγγελιζομενω τα περι της βασιλειας του θεου και του ονοματος του ιησου χριστου εβαπτιζοντο ανδρες τε και γυναικες (15411)

13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

ο δε σιμων και αυτος επιστευσεν και βαπτισθεις ην προσκαρτερων τω φιλιππω θεωρων τε {VAR1: σημεια και δυναμεις μεγαλας γινομενας } {VAR2: δυναμεις και σημεια γινομενα } εξιστατο (14741)

14Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

ακουσαντες δε οι εν ιεροσολυμοις αποστολοι οτι δεδεκται η σαμαρεια τον λογον του θεου απεστειλαν προς αυτους τον πετρον και ιωαννην (10947)

15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:

οιτινες καταβαντες προσηυξαντο περι αυτων οπως λαβωσιν πνευμα αγιον (7563)

16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

ουπω γαρ ην επ ουδενι αυτων επιπεπτωκος μονον δε βεβαπτισμενοι υπηρχον εις το ονομα του κυριου ιησου (10983)

17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

τοτε επετιθουν τας χειρας επ αυτους και ελαμβανον πνευμα αγιον (5467)

18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

θεασαμενος δε ο σιμων οτι δια της επιθεσεως των χειρων των αποστολων διδοται το πνευμα το αγιον προσηνεγκεν αυτοις χρηματα (13914)

19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

λεγων δοτε καμοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην ινα ω {VAR1: αν } {VAR2: εαν } επιθω τας χειρας λαμβανη πνευμα αγιον (7752)

20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

πετρος δε ειπεν προς αυτον το αργυριον σου συν σοι ειη εις απωλειαν οτι την δωρεαν του θεου ενομισας δια χρηματων κτασθαι (12087)

21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

ουκ εστιν σοι μερις ουδε κληρος εν τω λογω τουτω η γαρ καρδια σου ουκ εστιν ευθεια ενωπιον του θεου (11247)

22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

μετανοησον ουν απο της κακιας σου ταυτης και δεηθητι του θεου ει αρα αφεθησεται σοι η επινοια της καρδιας σου (8917)

23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

εις γαρ χολην πικριας και συνδεσμον αδικιας ορω σε οντα (4390)

24Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

αποκριθεις δε ο σιμων ειπεν δεηθητε υμεις υπερ εμου προς τον κυριον οπως μηδεν επελθη επ εμε ων ειρηκατε (8276)

25And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

οι μεν ουν διαμαρτυραμενοι και λαλησαντες τον λογον του κυριου υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ πολλας τε κωμας των σαμαρειτων ευηγγελισαντο (13535)

26And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

αγγελος δε κυριου ελαλησεν προς φιλιππον λεγων αναστηθι και πορευου κατα μεσημβριαν επι την οδον την καταβαινουσαν απο ιερουσαλημ εις γαζαν αυτη εστιν ερημος (11431)

27And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

και αναστας επορευθη και ιδου ανηρ αιθιοψ ευνουχος δυναστης κανδακης της βασιλισσης αιθιοπων ος ην επι πασης της γαζης αυτης ος εληλυθει προσκυνησων εις ιερουσαλημ (14968)

28Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

ην τε υποστρεφων και καθημενος επι του αρματος αυτου {VAR1: και } ανεγινωσκεν τον προφητην ησαιαν (9081)

29Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

ειπεν δε το πνευμα τω φιλιππω προσελθε και κολληθητι τω αρματι τουτω (8152)

30And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

προσδραμων δε ο φιλιππος ηκουσεν αυτου αναγινωσκοντος τον προφητην ησαιαν και ειπεν αρα γε γινωσκεις α αναγινωσκεις (10999)

31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

ο δε ειπεν πως γαρ αν δυναιμην εαν μη τις οδηγηση με παρεκαλεσεν τε τον φιλιππον αναβαντα καθισαι συν αυτω (7847)

32The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

η δε περιοχη της γραφης ην ανεγινωσκεν ην αυτη ως προβατον επι σφαγην ηχθη και ως αμνος εναντιον του κειροντος αυτον αφωνος ουτως ουκ ανοιγει το στομα αυτου (17910)

33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

εν τη ταπεινωσει αυτου η κρισις αυτου ηρθη την δε γενεαν αυτου τις διηγησεται οτι αιρεται απο της γης η ζωη αυτου (11221)

34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

αποκριθεις δε ο ευνουχος τω φιλιππω ειπεν δεομαι σου περι τινος ο προφητης λεγει τουτο περι εαυτου η περι ετερου τινος (12377)

35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

ανοιξας δε ο φιλιππος το στομα αυτου και αρξαμενος απο της γραφης ταυτης ευηγγελισατο αυτω τον ιησουν (10535)

36And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

ως δε επορευοντο κατα την οδον ηλθον επι τι υδωρ και φησιν ο ευνουχος ιδου υδωρ τι κωλυει με βαπτισθηναι (11652)

37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

ειπεν δε ο φιλιππος ει πιστευεις εξ ολης της καρδιας εξεστιν αποκριθεις δε ειπεν πιστευω τον υιον του θεου ειναι τον ιησουν χριστον (11508)

38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

και εκελευσεν στηναι το αρμα και κατεβησαν αμφοτεροι εις το υδωρ ο τε φιλιππος και ο ευνουχος και εβαπτισεν αυτον (10191)

See also: John 4:1, Acts 16:15, John 3:22-23

39And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

οτε δε ανεβησαν εκ του υδατος πνευμα κυριου ηρπασεν τον φιλιππον και ουκ ειδεν αυτον ουκετι ο ευνουχος επορευετο γαρ την οδον αυτου χαιρων (14250)

40But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

φιλιππος δε ευρεθη εις αζωτον και διερχομενος ευηγγελιζετο τας πολεις πασας εως του ελθειν αυτον εις καισαρειαν (9686)
