Phonetic (Greek): Saylos de en syneudokon tῇ anairesei aytoy. Ἐgeneto de en ekeinῃ tῇ hemerᾳ diogmos megas epi ten ekklesian ten en Ἱerosolymois· pantes de diesparesan kata tas choras tes Ἰoudaias kai Samareias plen ton apostolon.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

Σαῦλος δὲ ἦν συνευδοκῶν τῇ ἀναιρέσει αὐτοῦ. Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ διωγμὸς μέγας ἐπὶ τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τὴν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις· πάντες δὲ διεσπάρησαν κατὰ τὰς χώρας τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ Σαμαρείας πλὴν τῶν ἀποστόλων.

Edified Edition (EDE)As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.

Σαῦλος δὲ ἐλυμαίνετο τὴν ἐκκλησίαν κατὰ τοὺς οἴκους εἰσπορευόμενος, σύρων τε ἄνδρας καὶ γυναῖκας παρεδίδου εἰς φυλακήν.

Phonetic (Greek): Ohi men oyn diasparentes dielthon eyangelizomenoi ton logon.

Οἱ μὲν οὖν διασπαρέντες διῆλθον εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν λόγον.

Phonetic (Greek): Philippos de katelthon eis ⸀ten polin tes Samareias ekeryssen aytois ton christon.

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.

Φίλιππος δὲ κατελθὼν εἰς ⸀τὴν πόλιν τῆς Σαμαρείας ἐκήρυσσεν αὐτοῖς τὸν χριστόν.

Phonetic (Greek): proseichon ⸀de ohi ochloi tois legomenois hypo toy Philippou homothymadon en tῷ akoyein aytoys kai blepein ta semeia ha epoiei·

Edified Edition (EDE)And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

προσεῖχον ⸀δὲ οἱ ὄχλοι τοῖς λεγομένοις ὑπὸ τοῦ Φιλίππου ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐν τῷ ἀκούειν αὐτοὺς καὶ βλέπειν τὰ σημεῖα ἃ ἐποίει·

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀polloi gar ton echonton pneymata akatharta boonta phonῇ megalῃ ⸀exerchonto, polloi de paralelymenoi kai choloi etherapeythesan·

Edified Edition (EDE)For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralysed and lame were healed.

Phonetic (Greek): Ἀner de tis onomati Simon proyperchen en tῇ polei mageyon kai ⸀existanon to ethnos tes Samareias, legon einai tina heauton megan,

Edified Edition (EDE)But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practised sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great,

Ἀνὴρ δέ τις ὀνόματι Σίμων προϋπῆρχεν ἐν τῇ πόλει μαγεύων καὶ ⸀ἐξιστάνων τὸ ἔθνος τῆς Σαμαρείας, λέγων εἶναί τινα ἑαυτὸν μέγαν,

Phonetic (Greek): ho proseichon ⸀pantes apo mikroy heos megalou legontes· Ohytos estin he Dynamis toy theoy he ⸀kaloumene Megale.

Edified Edition (EDE)to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is the great power of God."

Phonetic (Greek): proseichon de aytῷ dia to hikanῷ chronῳ tais mageiais exestakenai aytoys.

Edified Edition (EDE)And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time.

προσεῖχον δὲ αὐτῷ διὰ τὸ ἱκανῷ χρόνῳ ταῖς μαγείαις ἐξεστακέναι αὐτούς.

Phonetic (Greek): hote de episteusan tῷ Philippῳ eyangelizomenῳ ⸀peri tes basileias toy theoy kai toy onomatos Ἰesoy Christoy, ebaptizonto andres te kai gynaikes.

Edified Edition (EDE)But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptised.

ὅτε δὲ ἐπίστευσαν τῷ Φιλίππῳ εὐαγγελιζομένῳ ⸀περὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ ὀνόματος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἐβαπτίζοντο ἄνδρες τε καὶ γυναῖκες.

Phonetic (Greek): ho de Simon kai aytos episteusen, kai baptistheis en proskarteron tῷ Philippῳ, theoron te ⸂semeia kai dynameis megalas ginomenas⸃ existato.

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptised he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.

ὁ δὲ Σίμων καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπίστευσεν, καὶ βαπτισθεὶς ἦν προσκαρτερῶν τῷ Φιλίππῳ, θεωρῶν τε ⸂σημεῖα καὶ δυνάμεις μεγάλας γινομένας⸃ ἐξίστατο.

Phonetic (Greek): Ἀkoysantes de ohi en Ἱerosolymois apostoloi hoti dedektai he Samareia ton logon toy theoy, apesteilan pros ⸀aytoys Petron kai Ἰoannen,

Edified Edition (EDE)Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

Ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἀπόστολοι ὅτι δέδεκται ἡ Σαμάρεια τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ, ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς ⸀αὐτοὺς Πέτρον καὶ Ἰωάννην,

Phonetic (Greek): ohitines katabantes proseyxanto peri ayton hopos labosin pneyma hagion·

Edified Edition (EDE)who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀oydepo gar en epʼ oydeni ayton epipeptokos, monon de bebaptismenoi hyperchon eis to onoma toy ⸀kyriou Ἰesoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus.

⸀οὐδέπω γὰρ ἦν ἐπʼ οὐδενὶ αὐτῶν ἐπιπεπτωκός, μόνον δὲ βεβαπτισμένοι ὑπῆρχον εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ⸀κυρίου Ἰησοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): tote ⸀epetithesan tas cheiras epʼ aytoys, kai elambanon pneyma hagion.

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀idon de ho Simon hoti dia tes epitheseos ton cheiron ton apostolon didotai to ⸀pneyma prosenenken aytois chremata

Edified Edition (EDE)And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,

⸀ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Σίμων ὅτι διὰ τῆς ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν τῶν ἀποστόλων δίδοται τὸ ⸀πνεῦμα προσήνεγκεν αὐτοῖς χρήματα

Phonetic (Greek): legon· Dote kamoi ten exousian tayten hina ho ean epitho tas cheiras lambanῃ pneyma hagion.

Edified Edition (EDE)saying, "Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit."

Phonetic (Greek): Petros de eipen pros ayton· To argyrion sou syn soi eie eis apoleian hoti ten dorean toy theoy enomisas dia chrematon ktasthai.

Edified Edition (EDE)But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!

Πέτρος δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν· Τὸ ἀργύριόν σου σὺν σοὶ εἴη εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὅτι τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐνόμισας διὰ χρημάτων κτᾶσθαι.

Phonetic (Greek): oyk estin soi meris oyde kleros en tῷ logῳ toytῳ, he gar kardia sou oyk estin eytheia ⸀enanti toy theoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God.

οὐκ ἔστιν σοι μερὶς οὐδὲ κλῆρος ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ, ἡ γὰρ καρδία σου οὐκ ἔστιν εὐθεῖα ⸀ἔναντι τοῦ θεοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): metanoeson oyn apo tes kakias sou taytes, kai deetheti toy ⸀kyriou ei ara aphethesetai soi he epinoia tes kardias sou·

Edified Edition (EDE)Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.

μετανόησον οὖν ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας σου ταύτης, καὶ δεήθητι τοῦ ⸀κυρίου εἰ ἄρα ἀφεθήσεταί σοι ἡ ἐπίνοια τῆς καρδίας σου·

Phonetic (Greek): eis gar cholen pikrias kai syndesmon adikias horo se onta.

Edified Edition (EDE)For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity."

εἰς γὰρ χολὴν πικρίας καὶ σύνδεσμον ἀδικίας ὁρῶ σε ὄντα.

Phonetic (Greek): apokritheis de ho Simon eipen· Deethete hymeis hyper emoy pros ton kyrion hopos meden epelthῃ epʼ eme hon eirekate.

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Simon answered and said, "Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me."

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Σίμων εἶπεν· Δεήθητε ὑμεῖς ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὅπως μηδὲν ἐπέλθῃ ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ὧν εἰρήκατε.

Phonetic (Greek): Ohi men oyn diamartyramenoi kai lalesantes ton logon toy kyriou ⸀hypestrephon eis ⸀Ἱerosolyma, pollas te komas ton Samariton ⸀eyengelizonto.

Edified Edition (EDE)So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

Οἱ μὲν οὖν διαμαρτυράμενοι καὶ λαλήσαντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ κυρίου ⸀ὑπέστρεφον εἰς ⸀Ἱεροσόλυμα, πολλάς τε κώμας τῶν Σαμαριτῶν ⸀εὐηγγελίζοντο.

Phonetic (Greek): Ἄngelos de kyriou elalesen pros Philippon legon· Ἀnastethi kai poreyou kata mesembrian epi ten hodon ten katabainousan apo Ἰerousalem eis Gazan· ahyte estin eremos.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." This is desert.

Ἄγγελος δὲ κυρίου ἐλάλησεν πρὸς Φίλιππον λέγων· Ἀνάστηθι καὶ πορεύου κατὰ μεσημβρίαν ἐπὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν καταβαίνουσαν ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς Γάζαν· αὕτη ἐστὶν ἔρημος.

Phonetic (Greek): kai anastas eporeythe, kai idoy aner Aithiops eynoychos dynastes ⸀Kandakes basilisses Aithiopon, hos en epi pases tes gazes aytes, hos elelythei proskyneson eis Ἰerousalem,

Edified Edition (EDE)So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,

καὶ ἀναστὰς ἐπορεύθη, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ Αἰθίοψ εὐνοῦχος δυνάστης ⸀Κανδάκης βασιλίσσης Αἰθιόπων, ὃς ἦν ἐπὶ πάσης τῆς γάζης αὐτῆς, ὃς ἐληλύθει προσκυνήσων εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ,

Phonetic (Greek): en ⸀te hypostrephon kai kathemenos epi toy harmatos aytoy kai aneginosken ton propheten Ἠsaian.

Edified Edition (EDE)was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet.

ἦν ⸀τε ὑποστρέφων καὶ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ ἅρματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνεγίνωσκεν τὸν προφήτην Ἠσαΐαν.

Phonetic (Greek): eipen de to pneyma tῷ Philippῳ· Proselthe kai kolletheti tῷ harmati toytῳ.

Edified Edition (EDE)Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go near and overtake this chariot."

εἶπεν δὲ τὸ πνεῦμα τῷ Φιλίππῳ· Πρόσελθε καὶ κολλήθητι τῷ ἅρματι τούτῳ.

Phonetic (Greek): prosdramon de ho Philippos ekousen aytoy anaginoskontos ⸂Ἠsaian ton propheten⸃ kai eipen· Ἆra ge ginoskeis ha anaginoskeis;

Edified Edition (EDE)So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"

προσδραμὼν δὲ ὁ Φίλιππος ἤκουσεν αὐτοῦ ἀναγινώσκοντος ⸂Ἠσαΐαν τὸν προφήτην⸃ καὶ εἶπεν· Ἆρά γε γινώσκεις ἃ ἀναγινώσκεις;

Phonetic (Greek): ho de eipen· Pos gar an dynaimen ean me tis ⸀hodegesei me; parekalesen te ton Philippon anabanta kathisai syn aytῷ.

Edified Edition (EDE)And he said, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Πῶς γὰρ ἂν δυναίμην ἐὰν μή τις ⸀ὁδηγήσει με; παρεκάλεσέν τε τὸν Φίλιππον ἀναβάντα καθίσαι σὺν αὐτῷ.

Phonetic (Greek): he de perioche tes graphes hen aneginosken en ahyte· Ὡs probaton epi sphagen echthe, kai hos amnos enantion toy ⸀keirantos ayton aphonos, ohytos oyk anoigei to stoma aytoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)The place in the Scripture which he read was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth.

ἡ δὲ περιοχὴ τῆς γραφῆς ἣν ἀνεγίνωσκεν ἦν αὕτη· Ὡς πρόβατον ἐπὶ σφαγὴν ἤχθη, καὶ ὡς ἀμνὸς ἐναντίον τοῦ ⸀κείραντος αὐτὸν ἄφωνος, οὕτως οὐκ ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): en tῇ ⸀tapeinosei he krisis aytoy erthe· ⸀ten genean aytoy tis diegesetai; hoti airetai apo tes ges he zoe aytoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)In His humiliation His justice was taken away, And who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth."

ἐν τῇ ⸀ταπεινώσει ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ ἤρθη· ⸀τὴν γενεὰν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται; ὅτι αἴρεται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἡ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): apokritheis de ho eynoychos tῷ Philippῳ eipen· Deomai sou, peri tinos ho prophetes legei ⸀toyto; peri heautoy e peri heterou tinos;

Edified Edition (EDE)So the eunuch answered Philip and said, "I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?"

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ εὐνοῦχος τῷ Φιλίππῳ εἶπεν· Δέομαί σου, περὶ τίνος ὁ προφήτης λέγει ⸀τοῦτο; περὶ ἑαυτοῦ ἢ περὶ ἑτέρου τινός;

Phonetic (Greek): anoixas de ho Philippos to stoma aytoy kai arxamenos apo tes graphes taytes eyengelisato aytῷ ton Ἰesoyn.

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.

ἀνοίξας δὲ ὁ Φίλιππος τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῆς γραφῆς ταύτης εὐηγγελίσατο αὐτῷ τὸν Ἰησοῦν.

Phonetic (Greek): hos de eporeyonto kata ten hodon, elthon epi ti hydor, kai phesin ho eynoychos· Ἰdoy hydor, ti kolyei me ⸀baptisthenai;

Edified Edition (EDE)Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, "See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptised?"

ὡς δὲ ἐπορεύοντο κατὰ τὴν ὁδόν, ἦλθον ἐπί τι ὕδωρ, καί φησιν ὁ εὐνοῦχος· Ἰδοὺ ὕδωρ, τί κωλύει με ⸀βαπτισθῆναι;

Phonetic (Greek): kai ekeleusen stenai to harma, kai katebesan amphoteroi eis to hydor ho te Philippos kai ho eynoychos, kai ebaptisen ayton.

Edified Edition (EDE)So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptised him.

καὶ ἐκέλευσεν στῆναι τὸ ἅρμα, καὶ κατέβησαν ἀμφότεροι εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ ὅ τε Φίλιππος καὶ ὁ εὐνοῦχος, καὶ ἐβάπτισεν αὐτόν.

Phonetic (Greek): hote de anebesan ek toy hydatos, pneyma kyriou herpasen ton Philippon, kai oyk eiden ayton oyketi ho eynoychos, eporeyeto gar ten hodon aytoy chairon.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing.

ὅτε δὲ ἀνέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος, πνεῦμα κυρίου ἥρπασεν τὸν Φίλιππον, καὶ οὐκ εἶδεν αὐτὸν οὐκέτι ὁ εὐνοῦχος, ἐπορεύετο γὰρ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ χαίρων.

Phonetic (Greek): Philippos de ehyrethe eis Ἄzoton, kai dierchomenos eyengelizeto tas poleis pasas heos toy elthein ayton eis Kaisareian.

Edified Edition (EDE)But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

Φίλιππος δὲ εὑρέθη εἰς Ἄζωτον, καὶ διερχόμενος εὐηγγελίζετο τὰς πόλεις πάσας ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς Καισάρειαν.
