Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed; but his father was a Gentile.
1κατηντησεν δε εισ δερβην και λυστραν και ιδου μαθητησ τισ ην εκει ονοματι τιμοθεοσ υιοσ γυναικοσ τινοσ ιουδαιασ πιστησ πατροσ δε ελληνοσ
2To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium, gave a good testimony.
2οσ εμαρτυρειτο υπο των εν λυστροισ και ικονιω αδελφων
3Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
3τουτον ηθελησεν ο παυλοσ συν αυτω εξελθειν και λαβων περιετεμεν αυτον δια τουσ ιουδαιουσ τουσ οντασ εν τοισ τοποισ εκεινοισ ηδεισαν γαρ απαντεσ τον πατερα αυτου οτι ελλην υπηρχεν
4And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem.
4ωσ δε διεπορευοντο τασ πολεισ παρεδιδουν αυτοισ φυλασσειν τα δογματα τα κεκριμενα υπο των αποστολων και των πρεσβυτερων των εν ιερουσαλημ
5And the churches were confirmed in faith, and increased in number daily.
5αι μεν ουν εκκλησιαι εστερεουντο τη πιστει και επερισσευον τω αριθμω καθ ημεραν
6And when they had passed through Phrygia, and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.
6διελθοντεσ δε την φρυγιαν και την γαλατικην χωραν κωλυθεντεσ υπο του αγιου πνευματοσ λαλησαι τον λογον εν τη ασια
7And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into Bythynia, and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not.
7ελθοντεσ κατα την μυσιαν επειραζον κατα την βιθυνιαν πορευεσθαι και ουκ ειασεν αυτουσ το πνευμα
8And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas.
8παρελθοντεσ δε την μυσιαν κατεβησαν εισ τρωαδα
9And a vision was shewed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him, and saying: Pass over into Macedonia, and help us.
9και οραμα δια τησ νυκτοσ ωφθη τω παυλω ανηρ τισ ην μακεδων εστωσ παρακαλων αυτον και λεγων διαβασ εισ μακεδονιαν βοηθησον ημιν
10And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
10ωσ δε το οραμα ειδεν ευθεωσ εζητησαμεν εξελθειν εισ την μακεδονιαν συμβιβαζοντεσ οτι προσκεκληται ημασ ο κυριοσ ευαγγελισασθαι αυτουσ
11And sailing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;
11αναχθεντεσ ουν απο τησ τρωαδοσ ευθυδρομησαμεν εισ σαμοθρακην τη τε επιουση εισ νεαπολιν
12And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in this city some days conferring together.
12εκειθεν τε εισ φιλιππουσ ητισ εστιν πρωτη τησ μεριδοσ τησ μακεδονιασ πολισ κολωνεια ημεν δε εν αυτη τη πολει διατριβοντεσ ημερασ τινασ
13And upon the sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled.
13τη τε ημερα των σαββατων εξηλθομεν εξω τησ πολεωσ παρα ποταμον ου ενομιζετο προσευχη ειναι και καθισαντεσ ελαλουμεν ταισ συνελθουσαισ γυναιξιν
14And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul.
14και τισ γυνη ονοματι λυδια πορφυροπωλισ πολεωσ θυατειρων σεβομενη τον θεον ηκουεν ησ ο κυριοσ διηνοιξεν την καρδιαν προσεχειν τοισ λαλουμενοισ υπο του παυλου
15And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
15ωσ δε εβαπτισθη και ο οικοσ αυτησ παρεκαλεσεν λεγουσα ει κεκρικατε με πιστην τω κυριω ειναι εισελθοντεσ εισ τον οικον μου μεινατε και παρεβιασατο ημασ
16And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl, having a pythonical spirit, met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining.
16εγενετο δε πορευομενων ημων εισ προσευχην παιδισκην τινα εχουσαν πνευμα πυθωνοσ απαντησαι ημιν ητισ εργασιαν πολλην παρειχεν τοισ κυριοισ αυτησ μαντευομενη
17This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach unto you the way of salvation.
17αυτη κατακολουθησασα τω παυλω και ημιν εκραζεν λεγουσα ουτοι οι ανθρωποι δουλοι του θεου του υψιστου εισιν οιτινεσ καταγγελλουσιν ημιν οδον σωτηριασ
18And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned, and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour.
18τουτο δε εποιει επι πολλασ ημερασ διαπονηθεισ δε ο παυλοσ και επιστρεψασ τω πνευματι ειπεν παραγγελλω σοι εν τω ονοματι ιησου χριστου εξελθειν απ αυτησ και εξηλθεν αυτη τη ωρα
19But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the marketplace to the rulers.
19ιδοντεσ δε οι κυριοι αυτησ οτι εξηλθεν η ελπισ τησ εργασιασ αυτων επιλαβομενοι τον παυλον και τον σιλαν ειλκυσαν εισ την αγοραν επι τουσ αρχοντασ
20And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: These men disturb our city, being Jews;
20και προσαγαγοντεσ αυτουσ τοισ στρατηγοισ ειπον ουτοι οι ανθρωποι εκταρασσουσιν ημων την πολιν ιουδαιοι υπαρχοντεσ
21And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans.
21και καταγγελλουσιν εθη α ουκ εξεστιν ημιν παραδεχεσθαι ουδε ποιειν ρωμαιοισ ουσιν
22And the people ran together against them; and the magistrates rending off their clothes, commanded them to be beaten with rods.
22και συνεπεστη ο οχλοσ κατ αυτων και οι στρατηγοι περιρρηξαντεσ αυτων τα ιματια εκελευον ραβδιζειν
23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the gaoler to keep them diligently.
23πολλασ τε επιθεντεσ αυτοισ πληγασ εβαλον εισ φυλακην παραγγειλαντεσ τω δεσμοφυλακι ασφαλωσ τηρειν αυτουσ
24Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
24οσ παραγγελιαν τοιαυτην ειληφωσ εβαλεν αυτουσ εισ την εσωτεραν φυλακην και τουσ ποδασ αυτων ησφαλισατο εισ το ξυλον
25And at midnight, Paul and Silas praying, praised God. And they that were in prison, heard them.
25κατα δε το μεσονυκτιον παυλοσ και σιλασ προσευχομενοι υμνουν τον θεον επηκροωντο δε αυτων οι δεσμιοι
26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
26αφνω δε σεισμοσ εγενετο μεγασ ωστε σαλευθηναι τα θεμελια του δεσμωτηριου ανεωχθησαν τε παραχρημα αι θυραι πασαι και παντων τα δεσμα ανεθη
27And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
27εξυπνοσ δε γενομενοσ ο δεσμοφυλαξ και ιδων ανεωγμενασ τασ θυρασ τησ φυλακησ σπασαμενοσ μαχαιραν εμελλεν εαυτον αναιρειν νομιζων εκπεφευγεναι τουσ δεσμιουσ
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here.
28εφωνησεν δε φωνη μεγαλη ο παυλοσ λεγων μηδεν πραξησ σεαυτω κακον απαντεσ γαρ εσμεν ενθαδε
29Then calling for a light, he went in, and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.
29αιτησασ δε φωτα εισεπηδησεν και εντρομοσ γενομενοσ προσεπεσεν τω παυλω και τω σιλα
30And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?
30και προαγαγων αυτουσ εξω εφη κυριοι τι με δει ποιειν ινα σωθω
31But they said: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
31οι δε ειπον πιστευσον επι τον κυριον ιησουν χριστον και σωθηση συ και ο οικοσ σου
32And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.
32και ελαλησαν αυτω τον λογον του κυριου και πασιν τοισ εν τη οικια αυτου
33And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes, and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.
33και παραλαβων αυτουσ εν εκεινη τη ωρα τησ νυκτοσ ελουσεν απο των πληγων και εβαπτισθη αυτοσ και οι αυτου παντεσ παραχρημα
34And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them, and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.
34αναγαγων τε αυτουσ εισ τον οικον αυτου παρεθηκεν τραπεζαν και ηγαλλιατο πανοικι πεπιστευκωσ τω θεω
35And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
35ημερασ δε γενομενησ απεστειλαν οι στρατηγοι τουσ ραβδουχουσ λεγοντεσ απολυσον τουσ ανθρωπουσ εκεινουσ
36And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore depart, and go in peace.
36απηγγειλεν δε ο δεσμοφυλαξ τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ προσ τον παυλον οτι απεσταλκασιν οι στρατηγοι ινα απολυθητε νυν ουν εξελθοντεσ πορευεσθε εν ειρηνη
37But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison: and now do they thrust us out privately? Not so; but let them come,
37ο δε παυλοσ εφη προσ αυτουσ δειραντεσ ημασ δημοσια ακατακριτουσ ανθρωπουσ ρωμαιουσ υπαρχοντασ εβαλον εισ φυλακην και νυν λαθρα ημασ εκβαλλουσιν ου γαρ αλλα ελθοντεσ αυτοι εξαγαγετωσαν
38And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid, hearing that they were Romans.
38ανηγγειλαν δε τοισ στρατηγοισ οι ραβδουχοι τα ρηματα ταυτα και εφοβηθησαν ακουσαντεσ οτι ρωμαιοι εισιν
39And coming, they besought them; and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city.
39και ελθοντεσ παρεκαλεσαν αυτουσ και εξαγαγοντεσ ηρωτων εξελθειν τησ πολεωσ
40And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
40εξελθοντεσ δε εκ τησ φυλακησ εισηλθον προσ την λυδιαν και ιδοντεσ τουσ αδελφουσ παρεκαλεσαν αυτουσ και εξηλθον
