| Vers | Greek NT: Tischendorf 8th Ed. † | English: King James Version |
| 1 | εγενετο δε εν εκεινη τη ημερα διωγμος μεγας επι την εκκλησιαν την εν ιεροσολυμοις παντες διεσπαρησαν κατα τας χωρας της ιουδαιας και σαμαριας πλην των αποστολων | And 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. |
| 2 | συνεκομισαν δε τον στεφανον ανδρες ευλαβεις και εποιησαν κοπετον μεγαν επ αυτω | And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. |
| 3 | σαυλος δε ελυμαινετο την εκκλησιαν κατα τους οικους εισπορευομενος συρων τε ανδρας και γυναικας παρεδιδου εις φυλακην | As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. |
| 4 | οι μεν ουν διασπαρεντες διηλθον ευαγγελιζομενοι τον λογον | Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. |
| 5 | φιλιππος δε κατελθων εις την πολιν της σαμαριας εκηρυσσεν αυτοις τον χριστον | Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. |
| 6 | προσειχον δε οι οχλοι τοις λεγομενοις υπο του φιλιππου ομοθυμαδον εν τω ακουειν αυτους και βλεπειν τα σημεια α εποιει | And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. |
| 7 | πολλοι γαρ των εχοντων πνευματα ακαθαρτα βοωντα φωνη μεγαλη εξηρχοντο πολλοι δε παραλελυμενοι και χωλοι εθεραπευθησαν | For 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. |
| 8 | εγενετο δε πολλη χαρα εν τη πολει εκεινη | And there was great joy in that city. |
| 9 | ανηρ δε τις ονοματι σιμων προυπηρχεν εν τη πολει μαγευων και εξιστανων το εθνος της σαμαριας λεγων ειναι τινα εαυτον μεγαν | But 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: |
| 10 | ω προσειχον παντες απο μικρου εως μεγαλου λεγοντες ουτος εστιν η δυναμις του θεου η καλουμενη μεγαλη | To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. |
| 11 | προσειχον δε αυτω δια το ικανω χρονω ταις μαγιαις εξεστακεναι αυτους | And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. |
| 12 | οτε δε επιστευσαν τω φιλιππω ευαγγελιζομενω περι της βασιλειας του θεου και του ονοματος ιησου χριστου εβαπτιζοντο ανδρες τε και γυναικες | But 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. |
| 13 | ο δε σιμων και αυτος επιστευσεν και βαπτισθεις ην προσκαρτερων τω φιλιππω θεωρων τε σημεια και δυναμεις μεγαλας γινομενας εξιστατο | Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. |
| 14 | ακουσαντες δε οι εν ιεροσολυμοις αποστολοι οτι δεδεκται η σαμαρια τον λογον του θεου απεστειλαν προς αυτους πετρον και ιωαννην | Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: |
| 15 | οιτινες καταβαντες προσηυξαντο περι αυτων οπως λαβωσιν πνευμα αγιον | Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: |
| 16 | ουδεπω γαρ ην επ ουδενι αυτων επιπεπτωκος μονον δε βεβαπτισμενοι υπηρχον εις το ονομα του κυριου ιησου | (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) |
| 17 | τοτε επετιθεσαν τας χειρας επ αυτους και ελαμβανον πνευμα αγιον | Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. |
| 18 | ιδων δε ο σιμων οτι δια της επιθεσεως των χειρων των αποστολων διδοται το πνευμα προσηνεγκεν αυτοις χρηματα | And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, |
| 19 | λεγων δοτε καμοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην ινα ω εαν επιθω τας χειρας λαμβανη πνευμα αγιον | Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. |
| 20 | πετρος δε ειπεν προς αυτον το αργυριον σου συν σοι ειη εις απωλειαν οτι την δωρεαν του θεου ενομισας δια χρηματων κτασθαι | But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. |
| 21 | ουκ εστιν σοι μερις ουδε κληρος εν τω λογω τουτω η γαρ καρδια σου ουκ εστιν ευθεια εναντι του θεου | Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. |
| 22 | μετανοησον ουν απο της κακιας σου ταυτης και δεηθητι του κυριου ει αρα αφεθησεται σοι η επινοια της καρδιας σου | Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. |
| 23 | εις γαρ χολην πικριας και συνδεσμον αδικιας ορω σε οντα | For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. |
| 24 | αποκριθεις δε ο σιμων ειπεν δεηθητε υμεις υπερ εμου προς τον κυριον οπως μηδεν επελθη επ εμε ων ειρηκατε | Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. |
| 25 | οι μεν ουν διαμαρτυραμενοι και λαλησαντες τον λογον του κυριου υπεστρεφον εις ιεροσολυμα πολλας τε κωμας των σαμαριτων ευηγγελιζοντο | And 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. |
| 26 | αγγελος δε κυριου ελαλησεν προς φιλιππον λεγων αναστηθι και πορευου κατα μεσημβριαν επι την οδον την καταβαινουσαν απο ιερουσαλημ εις γαζαν αυτη εστιν ερημος | And 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. |
| 27 | και αναστας επορευθη και ιδου ανηρ αιθιοψ ευνουχος δυναστης κανδακης βασιλισσης αιθιοπων ος ην επι πασης της γαζης αυτης εληλυθει προσκυνησων εις ιερουσαλημ | And 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, |
| 28 | ην τε υποστρεφων και καθημενος επι του αρματος αυτου ανεγινωσκεν τον προφητην ησαιαν | Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. |
| 29 | ειπεν δε το πνευμα τω φιλιππω προσελθε και κολληθητι τω αρματι τουτω | Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. |
| 30 | προσδραμων δε ο φιλιππος ηκουσεν αυτου αναγινωσκοντος ησαιαν τον προφητην και ειπεν αραγε γινωσκεις α αναγινωσκεις | And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? |
| 31 | ο δε ειπεν πως γαρ αν δυναιμην εαν μη τις οδηγησει με παρεκαλεσεν τε τον φιλιππον αναβαντα καθισαι συν αυτω | And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. |
| 32 | η δε περιοχη της γραφης ην ανεγινωσκεν ην αυτη ως προβατον επι σφαγην ηχθη και ως αμνος εναντιον του κειραντος αυτον αφωνος ουτως ουκ ανοιγει το στομα αυτου | The 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: |
| 33 | εν τη ταπεινωσει η κρισις αυτου ηρθη την γενεαν αυτου τις διηγησεται οτι αιρεται απο της γης η ζωη αυτου | In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. |
| 34 | αποκριθεις δε ο ευνουχος τω φιλιππω ειπεν δεομαι σου περι τινος ο προφητης λεγει τουτο περι εαυτου η περι ετερου τινος | And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? |
| 35 | ανοιξας δε ο φιλιππος το στομα αυτου και αρξαμενος απο της γραφης ταυτης ευηγγελισατο αυτω τον ιησουν | Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. |
| 36 | ως δε επορευοντο κατα την οδον ηλθον επι τι υδωρ και φησιν ο ευνουχος ιδου υδωρ τι κωλυει με βαπτισθηναι | And 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? |
| 38 | και εκελευσεν στηναι το αρμα και κατεβησαν αμφοτεροι εις το υδωρ ο τε φιλιππος και ο ευνουχος και εβαπτισεν αυτον | And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. |
| 39 | οτε δε ανεβησαν εκ του υδατος πνευμα κυριου ηρπασεν τον φιλιππον και ουκ ειδεν αυτον ουκετι ο ευνουχος επορευετο γαρ την οδον αυτου χαιρων | And 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. |
| 40 | φιλιππος δε ευρεθη εις αζωτον και διερχομενος ευηγγελιζετο τας πολεις πασας εως του ελθειν αυτον εις καισαριαν | But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. |
| 37 | And 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. |
