Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
1εγενετο δε εν τω τον απολλω ειναι εν κορινθω παυλον διελθοντα τα ανωτερικα μερη ελθειν εισ εφεσον και ευρων τινασ μαθητασ
2And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.
2ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ει πνευμα αγιον ελαβετε πιστευσαντεσ οι δε ειπον προσ αυτον αλλ ουδε ει πνευμα αγιον εστιν ηκουσαμεν
3And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John’s baptism.
3ειπεν τε προσ αυτουσ εισ τι ουν εβαπτισθητε οι δε ειπον εισ το ιωαννου βαπτισμα
4Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.
4ειπεν δε παυλοσ ιωαννησ μεν εβαπτισεν βαπτισμα μετανοιασ τω λαω λεγων εισ τον ερχομενον μετ αυτον ινα πιστευσωσιν τουτ εστιν εισ τον χριστον ιησουν
5Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
5ακουσαντεσ δε εβαπτισθησαν εισ το ονομα του κυριου ιησου
6And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
6και επιθεντοσ αυτοισ του παυλου τασ χειρασ ηλθεν το πνευμα το αγιον επ αυτουσ ελαλουν τε γλωσσαισ και προεφητευον
7And all the men were about twelve.
7ησαν δε οι παντεσ ανδρεσ ωσει δεκαδυο
8And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.
8εισελθων δε εισ την συναγωγην επαρρησιαζετο επι μηνασ τρεισ διαλεγομενοσ και πειθων τα περι τησ βασιλειασ του θεου
9But when some were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord, before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
9ωσ δε τινεσ εσκληρυνοντο και ηπειθουν κακολογουντεσ την οδον ενωπιον του πληθουσ αποστασ απ αυτων αφωρισεν τουσ μαθητασ καθ ημεραν διαλεγομενοσ εν τη σχολη τυραννου τινοσ
10And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.
10τουτο δε εγενετο επι ετη δυο ωστε παντασ τουσ κατοικουντασ την ασιαν ακουσαι τον λογον του κυριου ιησου ιουδαιουσ τε και ελληνασ
11And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.
11δυναμεισ τε ου τασ τυχουσασ εποιει ο θεοσ δια των χειρων παυλου
12So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the wicked spirits went out of them.
12ωστε και επι τουσ ασθενουντασ επιφερεσθαι απο του χρωτοσ αυτου σουδαρια η σιμικινθια και απαλλασσεσθαι απ αυτων τασ νοσουσ τα τε πνευματα τα πονηρα εξερχεσθαι απ αυτων
13Now some also of the Jewish exorcists who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.
13επεχειρησαν δε τινεσ απο των περιερχομενων ιουδαιων εξορκιστων ονομαζειν επι τουσ εχοντασ τα πνευματα τα πονηρα το ονομα του κυριου ιησου λεγοντεσ ορκιζομεν υμασ τον ιησουν ον ο παυλοσ κηρυσσει
14And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.
14ησαν δε τινεσ υιοι σκευα ιουδαιου αρχιερεωσ επτα οι τουτο ποιουντεσ
15But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?
15αποκριθεν δε το πνευμα το πονηρον ειπεν τον ιησουν γινωσκω και τον παυλον επισταμαι υμεισ δε τινεσ εστε
16And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them, and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
16και εφαλλομενοσ επ αυτουσ ο ανθρωποσ εν ω ην το πνευμα το πονηρον και κατακυριευσαν αυτων ισχυσεν κατ αυτων ωστε γυμνουσ και τετραυματισμενουσ εκφυγειν εκ του οικου εκεινου
17And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
17τουτο δε εγενετο γνωστον πασιν ιουδαιοισ τε και ελλησιν τοισ κατοικουσιν την εφεσον και επεπεσεν φοβοσ επι παντασ αυτουσ και εμεγαλυνετο το ονομα του κυριου ιησου
18And many of them that believed, came confessing and declaring their deeds.
18πολλοι τε των πεπιστευκοτων ηρχοντο εξομολογουμενοι και αναγγελλοντεσ τασ πραξεισ αυτων
19And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
19ικανοι δε των τα περιεργα πραξαντων συνενεγκαντεσ τασ βιβλουσ κατεκαιον ενωπιον παντων και συνεψηφισαν τασ τιμασ αυτων και ευρον αργυριου μυριαδασ πεντε
20So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.
20ουτωσ κατα κρατοσ ο λογοσ του κυριου ηυξανεν και ισχυεν
21And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.
21ωσ δε επληρωθη ταυτα εθετο ο παυλοσ εν τω πνευματι διελθων την μακεδονιαν και αχαιαν πορευεσθαι εισ ιερουσαλημ ειπων οτι μετα το γενεσθαι με εκει δει με και ρωμην ιδειν
22And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.
22αποστειλασ δε εισ την μακεδονιαν δυο των διακονουντων αυτω τιμοθεον και εραστον αυτοσ επεσχεν χρονον εισ την ασιαν
23Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.
23εγενετο δε κατα τον καιρον εκεινον ταραχοσ ουκ ολιγοσ περι τησ οδου
24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;
24δημητριοσ γαρ τισ ονοματι αργυροκοποσ ποιων ναουσ αργυρουσ αρτεμιδοσ παρειχετο τοισ τεχνιταισ εργασιαν ουκ ολιγην
25Whom he calling together, with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade;
25ουσ συναθροισασ και τουσ περι τα τοιαυτα εργατασ ειπεν ανδρεσ επιστασθε οτι εκ ταυτησ τησ εργασιασ η ευπορια ημων εστιν
26And you see and hear, that this Paul by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: They are not gods which are made by hands.
26και θεωρειτε και ακουετε οτι ου μονον εφεσου αλλα σχεδον πασησ τησ ασιασ ο παυλοσ ουτοσ πεισασ μετεστησεν ικανον οχλον λεγων οτι ουκ εισιν θεοι οι δια χειρων γινομενοι
27So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing; yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
27ου μονον δε τουτο κινδυνευει ημιν το μεροσ εισ απελεγμον ελθειν αλλα και το τησ μεγαλησ θεασ ιερον αρτεμιδοσ εισ ουθεν λογισθηναι μελλειν δε και καθαιρεισθαι την μεγαλειοτητα αυτησ ην ολη η ασια και η οικουμενη σεβεται
28Having heard these things, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
28ακουσαντεσ δε και γενομενοι πληρεισ θυμου εκραζον λεγοντεσ μεγαλη η αρτεμισ εφεσιων
29And the whole city was filled with confusion; and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
29και επλησθη η πολισ ολη τησ συγχυσεωσ ωρμησαν τε ομοθυμαδον εισ το θεατρον συναρπασαντεσ γαιον και αρισταρχον μακεδονασ συνεκδημουσ παυλου
30And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
30του δε παυλου βουλομενου εισελθειν εισ τον δημον ουκ ειων αυτον οι μαθηται
31And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre.
31τινεσ δε και των ασιαρχων οντεσ αυτω φιλοι πεμψαντεσ προσ αυτον παρεκαλουν μη δουναι εαυτον εισ το θεατρον
32Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together.
32αλλοι μεν ουν αλλο τι εκραζον ην γαρ η εκκλησια συγκεχυμενη και οι πλειουσ ουκ ηδεισαν τινοσ ενεκεν συνεληλυθεισαν
33And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction.
33εκ δε του οχλου προεβιβασαν αλεξανδρον προβαλοντων αυτον των ιουδαιων ο δε αλεξανδροσ κατασεισασ την χειρα ηθελεν απολογεισθαι τω δημω
34But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
34επιγνοντεσ δε οτι ιουδαιοσ εστιν φωνη εγενετο μια εκ παντων ωσ επι ωρασ δυο κραζοντων μεγαλη η αρτεμισ εφεσιων
35And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of Jupiter’s offspring.
35καταστειλασ δε ο γραμματευσ τον οχλον φησιν ανδρεσ εφεσιοι τισ γαρ εστιν ανθρωποσ οσ ου γινωσκει την εφεσιων πολιν νεωκορον ουσαν τησ μεγαλησ θεασ αρτεμιδοσ και του διοπετουσ
36For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
36αναντιρρητων ουν οντων τουτων δεον εστιν υμασ κατεσταλμενουσ υπαρχειν και μηδεν προπετεσ πρασσειν
37For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.
37ηγαγετε γαρ τουσ ανδρασ τουτουσ ουτε ιεροσυλουσ ουτε βλασφημουντασ την θεον υμων
38But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
38ει μεν ουν δημητριοσ και οι συν αυτω τεχνιται εχουσιν προσ τινα λογον αγοραιοι αγονται και ανθυπατοι εισιν εγκαλειτωσαν αλληλοισ
39And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.
39ει δε τι περι ετερων επιζητειτε εν τη εννομω εκκλησια επιλυθησεται
40For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse. And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
40και γαρ κινδυνευομεν εγκαλεισθαι στασεωσ περι τησ σημερον μηδενοσ αιτιου υπαρχοντοσ περι ου ου δυνησομεθα δουναι λογον τησ συστροφησ ταυτησ
