Chapter 15

Phonetic (Greek): Kai tines katelthontes apo tes Ἰoudaias edidaskon toys adelphoys hoti Ἐan me ⸀peritmethete tῷ ethei ⸀tῷ Moyseos, oy dynasthe sothenai.

Edified Edition (EDE)And certain men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

Καί τινες κατελθόντες ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἐδίδασκον τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὅτι Ἐὰν μὴ ⸀περιτμηθῆτε τῷ ἔθει ⸀τῷ Μωϋσέως, οὐ δύνασθε σωθῆναι.

Phonetic (Greek): genomenes ⸀de staseos kai zeteseos oyk oliges tῷ Paylῳ kai tῷ Barnabᾷ pros aytoys etaxan anabainein Paylon kai Barnaban kai tinas allous ex ayton pros toys apostolous kai presbyterous eis Ἰerousalem peri toy zetematos toytou.

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.

γενομένης ⸀δὲ στάσεως καὶ ζητήσεως οὐκ ὀλίγης τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Βαρναβᾷ πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἔταξαν ἀναβαίνειν Παῦλον καὶ Βαρναβᾶν καί τινας ἄλλους ἐξ αὐτῶν πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους καὶ πρεσβυτέρους εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ περὶ τοῦ ζητήματος τούτου.

Phonetic (Greek): ohi men oyn propemphthentes hypo tes ekklesias dierchonto ten ⸀te Phoiniken kai Samareian ekdiegoymenoi ten epistrophen ton ethnon, kai epoioun charan megalen pasi tois adelphois.

Edified Edition (EDE)So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brothers.

οἱ μὲν οὖν προπεμφθέντες ὑπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας διήρχοντο τήν ⸀τε Φοινίκην καὶ Σαμάρειαν ἐκδιηγούμενοι τὴν ἐπιστροφὴν τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ ἐποίουν χαρὰν μεγάλην πᾶσι τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς.

Phonetic (Greek): paragenomenoi de eis ⸀Ἱerosolyma ⸀paredechthesan ⸀apo tes ekklesias kai ton apostolon kai ton presbyteron, anengeilan te hosa ho theos epoiesen metʼ ayton.

Edified Edition (EDE)And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders; and they reported all things that God had done with them.

παραγενόμενοι δὲ εἰς ⸀Ἱεροσόλυμα ⸀παρεδέχθησαν ⸀ἀπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας καὶ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, ἀνήγγειλάν τε ὅσα ὁ θεὸς ἐποίησεν μετʼ αὐτῶν.

Phonetic (Greek): exanestesan de tines ton apo tes ahireseos ton Pharisaion pepisteukotes, legontes hoti dei peritemnein aytoys parangellein te terein ton nomon Moyseos.

Edified Edition (EDE)But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses."

ἐξανέστησαν δέ τινες τῶν ἀπὸ τῆς αἱρέσεως τῶν Φαρισαίων πεπιστευκότες, λέγοντες ὅτι δεῖ περιτέμνειν αὐτοὺς παραγγέλλειν τε τηρεῖν τὸν νόμον Μωϋσέως.

Phonetic (Greek): Synechthesan ⸀te ohi apostoloi kai ohi presbyteroi idein peri toy logou toytou.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter.

Συνήχθησάν ⸀τε οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἰδεῖν περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου.

Phonetic (Greek): polles de ⸀zeteseos genomenes anastas Petros eipen pros aytoys· Ἄndres adelphoi, hymeis epistasthe hoti aphʼ hemeron archaion ⸂en hymin exelexato ho theos⸃ dia toy stomatos mou akoysai ta ethne ton logon toy eyangeliou kai pisteysai,

Edified Edition (EDE)And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: "Men and brothers, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.

πολλῆς δὲ ⸀ζητήσεως γενομένης ἀναστὰς Πέτρος εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς· Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε ὅτι ἀφʼ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων ⸂ἐν ὑμῖν ἐξελέξατο ὁ θεὸς⸃ διὰ τοῦ στόματός μου ἀκοῦσαι τὰ ἔθνη τὸν λόγον τοῦ εὐαγγελίου καὶ πιστεῦσαι,

Phonetic (Greek): kai ho kardiognostes theos emartyresen aytois ⸀doys to pneyma to hagion kathos kai hemin,

Edified Edition (EDE)So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us,

καὶ ὁ καρδιογνώστης θεὸς ἐμαρτύρησεν αὐτοῖς ⸀δοὺς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον καθὼς καὶ ἡμῖν,

Phonetic (Greek): kai ⸀oythen diekrinen metaxy hemon te kai ayton, tῇ pistei katharisas tas kardias ayton.

Edified Edition (EDE)and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

καὶ ⸀οὐθὲν διέκρινεν μεταξὺ ἡμῶν τε καὶ αὐτῶν, τῇ πίστει καθαρίσας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν.

Phonetic (Greek): nyn oyn ti peirazete ton theon, epitheinai zygon epi ton trachelon ton matheton hon oyte ohi pateres hemon oyte hemeis ischysamen bastasai;

Edified Edition (EDE)Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

νῦν οὖν τί πειράζετε τὸν θεόν, ἐπιθεῖναι ζυγὸν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τῶν μαθητῶν ὃν οὔτε οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν οὔτε ἡμεῖς ἰσχύσαμεν βαστάσαι;

Phonetic (Greek): alla dia tes charitos toy kyriou Ἰesoy pisteyomen sothenai kathʼ hon tropon kakeinoi.

Edified Edition (EDE)But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they."

ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς χάριτος τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι καθʼ ὃν τρόπον κἀκεῖνοι.

Phonetic (Greek): Ἐsigesen de pan to plethos, kai ekouon Barnaba kai Paylou exegoumenon hosa epoiesen ho theos semeia kai terata en tois ethnesin diʼ ayton.

Edified Edition (EDE)Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring how many miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles.

Ἐσίγησεν δὲ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος, καὶ ἤκουον Βαρναβᾶ καὶ Παύλου ἐξηγουμένων ὅσα ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν διʼ αὐτῶν.

Phonetic (Greek): meta de to sigesai aytoys apekrithe Ἰakobos legon· Ἄndres adelphoi, akoysate mou.

Edified Edition (EDE)And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, "Men and brothers, listen to me:

μετὰ δὲ τὸ σιγῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπεκρίθη Ἰάκωβος λέγων· Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ἀκούσατέ μου.

Phonetic (Greek): Symeon exegesato kathos proton ho theos epeskepsato labein ex ethnon ⸀laon tῷ onomati aytoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name.

Συμεὼν ἐξηγήσατο καθὼς πρῶτον ὁ θεὸς ἐπεσκέψατο λαβεῖν ἐξ ἐθνῶν ⸀λαὸν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): kai toytῳ symphonoysin ohi logoi ton propheton, kathos gegraptai·

Edified Edition (EDE)And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:

καὶ τούτῳ συμφωνοῦσιν οἱ λόγοι τῶν προφητῶν, καθὼς γέγραπται·

Phonetic (Greek): Meta tayta anastrepso kai anoikodomeso ten skenen Dauid ten peptokyian kai ta ⸀kateskammena aytes anoikodomeso kai anorthoso ayten,

Edified Edition (EDE)‘After this I will return And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, And I will set it up;

Μετὰ ταῦτα ἀναστρέψω καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσω τὴν σκηνὴν Δαυὶδ τὴν πεπτωκυῖαν καὶ τὰ ⸀κατεσκαμμένα αὐτῆς ἀνοικοδομήσω καὶ ἀνορθώσω αὐτήν,

Phonetic (Greek): hopos an ekzetesosin ohi kataloipoi ton anthropon ton kyrion, kai panta ta ethne ephʼ ohys epikekletai to onoma mou epʼ aytoys, legei ⸀kyrios poion ⸀tayta

Edified Edition (EDE)So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD, Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name, Says the LORD who does all these things.’

ὅπως ἂν ἐκζητήσωσιν οἱ κατάλοιποι τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὸν κύριον, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐφʼ οὓς ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπʼ αὐτούς, λέγει ⸀κύριος ποιῶν ⸀ταῦτα

Phonetic (Greek): gnosta apʼ ⸀aionos.

Edified Edition (EDE)"Known to God from eternity are all His works.

γνωστὰ ἀπʼ ⸀αἰῶνος.

Phonetic (Greek): dio ego krino me parenochlein tois apo ton ethnon epistrephousin epi ton theon,

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God,

διὸ ἐγὼ κρίνω μὴ παρενοχλεῖν τοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐπιστρέφουσιν ἐπὶ τὸν θεόν,

Phonetic (Greek): alla episteilai aytois toy ⸀apechesthai ton alisgematon ton eidolon kai tes porneias kai ⸀toy pniktoy kai toy ahimatos·

Edified Edition (EDE)but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.

ἀλλὰ ἐπιστεῖλαι αὐτοῖς τοῦ ⸀ἀπέχεσθαι τῶν ἀλισγημάτων τῶν εἰδώλων καὶ τῆς πορνείας καὶ ⸀τοῦ πνικτοῦ καὶ τοῦ αἵματος·

Phonetic (Greek): Moyses gar ek geneon archaion kata polin toys keryssontas ayton echei en tais synagogais kata pan sabbaton anaginoskomenos.

Edified Edition (EDE)For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."

Μωϋσῆς γὰρ ἐκ γενεῶν ἀρχαίων κατὰ πόλιν τοὺς κηρύσσοντας αὐτὸν ἔχει ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς κατὰ πᾶν σάββατον ἀναγινωσκόμενος.

Phonetic (Greek): Tote edoxe tois apostolois kai tois presbyterois syn holῃ tῇ ekklesiᾳ eklexamenous andras ex ayton pempsai eis Ἀntiocheian syn ⸀tῷ Paylῳ kai Barnabᾷ, Ἰoydan ton ⸀kaloymenon Barsabban kai Silan, andras hegoumenous en tois adelphois,

Edified Edition (EDE)Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers.

Τότε ἔδοξε τοῖς ἀποστόλοις καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις σὺν ὅλῃ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐκλεξαμένους ἄνδρας ἐξ αὐτῶν πέμψαι εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν σὺν ⸀τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ Βαρναβᾷ, Ἰούδαν τὸν ⸀καλούμενον Βαρσαββᾶν καὶ Σιλᾶν, ἄνδρας ἡγουμένους ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς,

Phonetic (Greek): grapsantes dia cheiros ⸀ayton· Ohi apostoloi kai ohi ⸀presbyteroi adelphoi tois kata ten Ἀntiocheian kai Syrian kai Kilikian adelphois tois ex ethnon chairein.

Edified Edition (EDE)They wrote this letter by them: The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, To the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings.

γράψαντες διὰ χειρὸς ⸀αὐτῶν· Οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ ⸀πρεσβύτεροι ἀδελφοὶ τοῖς κατὰ τὴν Ἀντιόχειαν καὶ Συρίαν καὶ Κιλικίαν ἀδελφοῖς τοῖς ἐξ ἐθνῶν χαίρειν.

Phonetic (Greek): epeide ekoysamen hoti tines ex hemon ⸀exelthontes etaraxan hymas logois anaskeuazontes tas psychas ⸀hymon ohis oy diesteilametha,

Edified Edition (EDE)Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, "You must be circumcised and keep the law", to whom we gave no such commandment,

ἐπειδὴ ἠκούσαμεν ὅτι τινὲς ἐξ ἡμῶν ⸀ἐξελθόντες ἐτάραξαν ὑμᾶς λόγοις ἀνασκευάζοντες τὰς ψυχὰς ⸀ὑμῶν οἷς οὐ διεστειλάμεθα,

Phonetic (Greek): edoxen hemin genomenois homothymadon ⸀eklexamenois andras pempsai pros hymas syn tois agapetois hemon Barnabᾷ kai Paylῳ,

Edified Edition (EDE)it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

Phonetic (Greek): apestalkamen oyn Ἰoydan kai Silan, kai aytoys dia logou apangellontas ta ayta.

Edified Edition (EDE)We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also report the same things by word of mouth.

Phonetic (Greek): edoxen gar tῷ ⸂pneymati tῷ hagiῳ⸃ kai hemin meden pleon epitithesthai hymin baros plen ⸂toyton ton epanankes⸃,

Edified Edition (EDE)For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

ἔδοξεν γὰρ τῷ ⸂πνεύματι τῷ ἁγίῳ⸃ καὶ ἡμῖν μηδὲν πλέον ἐπιτίθεσθαι ὑμῖν βάρος πλὴν ⸂τούτων τῶν ἐπάναγκες⸃,

Edified Edition (EDE)that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.

Phonetic (Greek): Ohi men oyn apolythentes ⸀katelthon eis Ἀntiocheian, kai synagagontes to plethos epedokan ten epistolen·

Edified Edition (EDE)So when they were sent off, they came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

Οἱ μὲν οὖν ἀπολυθέντες ⸀κατῆλθον εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν, καὶ συναγαγόντες τὸ πλῆθος ἐπέδωκαν τὴν ἐπιστολήν·

Phonetic (Greek): anagnontes de echaresan epi tῇ paraklesei.

Edified Edition (EDE)When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement.

ἀναγνόντες δὲ ἐχάρησαν ἐπὶ τῇ παρακλήσει.

Phonetic (Greek): Ἰoydas te kai Silas, kai aytoi prophetai ontes, dia logou polloy parekalesan toys adelphoys kai epesterixan·

Edified Edition (EDE)Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted and strengthened the brothers with many words.

Phonetic (Greek): poiesantes de chronon apelythesan metʼ eirenes apo ton adelphon pros toys ⸂aposteilantas aytoys⸃.

Phonetic (Greek): Paylos de kai Barnabas dietribon en Ἀntiocheiᾳ didaskontes kai eyangelizomenoi meta kai heteron pollon ton logon toy kyriou.

Edified Edition (EDE)Paul and Barnabas also remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

Παῦλος δὲ καὶ Βαρναβᾶς διέτριβον ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ διδάσκοντες καὶ εὐαγγελιζόμενοι μετὰ καὶ ἑτέρων πολλῶν τὸν λόγον τοῦ κυρίου.

Phonetic (Greek): Meta de tinas hemeras eipen ⸂pros Barnaban Paylos⸃· Ἐpistrepsantes de episkepsometha toys ⸀adelphoys kata ⸂polin pasan⸃ en ahis katengeilamen ton logon toy kyriou, pos echousin.

Edified Edition (EDE)Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us now go back and visit our brothers in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing."

Μετὰ δέ τινας ἡμέρας εἶπεν ⸂πρὸς Βαρναβᾶν Παῦλος⸃· Ἐπιστρέψαντες δὴ ἐπισκεψώμεθα τοὺς ⸀ἀδελφοὺς κατὰ ⸂πόλιν πᾶσαν⸃ ἐν αἷς κατηγγείλαμεν τὸν λόγον τοῦ κυρίου, πῶς ἔχουσιν.

Phonetic (Greek): Barnabas de ⸀eboyleto symparalabein ⸀kai ton Ἰoannen ton kaloymenon Markon·

Edified Edition (EDE)Now Barnabas was determined to take with them John called Mark.

Phonetic (Greek): Paylos de exiou, ton apostanta apʼ ayton apo Pamphylias kai me synelthonta aytois eis to ergon, me ⸀symparalambanein toyton.

Edified Edition (EDE)But Paul insisted that they should not take with them the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.

Παῦλος δὲ ἠξίου, τὸν ἀποστάντα ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Παμφυλίας καὶ μὴ συνελθόντα αὐτοῖς εἰς τὸ ἔργον, μὴ ⸀συμπαραλαμβάνειν τοῦτον.

Phonetic (Greek): egeneto ⸀de paroxysmos hoste apochoristhenai aytoys apʼ allelon, ton te Barnaban paralabonta ton Markon ekpleysai eis Kypron,

Edified Edition (EDE)Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus;

ἐγένετο ⸀δὲ παροξυσμὸς ὥστε ἀποχωρισθῆναι αὐτοὺς ἀπʼ ἀλλήλων, τόν τε Βαρναβᾶν παραλαβόντα τὸν Μᾶρκον ἐκπλεῦσαι εἰς Κύπρον,
