Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye the account which I now give unto you.
1ανδρεσ αδελφοι και πατερεσ ακουσατε μου τησ προσ υμασ νυνι απολογιασ
2(And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence.)
2ακουσαντεσ δε οτι τη εβραιδι διαλεκτω προσεφωνει αυτοισ μαλλον παρεσχον ησυχιαν και φησιν
3And he saith: I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the truth of the law of the fathers, zealous for the law, as also all you are this day:
3εγω μεν ειμι ανηρ ιουδαιοσ γεγεννημενοσ εν ταρσω τησ κιλικιασ ανατεθραμμενοσ δε εν τη πολει ταυτη παρα τουσ ποδασ γαμαλιηλ πεπαιδευμενοσ κατα ακριβειαν του πατρωου νομου ζηλωτησ υπαρχων του θεου καθωσ παντεσ υμεισ εστε σημερον
4Who persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
4οσ ταυτην την οδον εδιωξα αχρι θανατου δεσμευων και παραδιδουσ εισ φυλακασ ανδρασ τε και γυναικασ
5As the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the ancients: from whom also receiving letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus, that I might bring them bound from thence to Jerusalem to be punished.
5ωσ και ο αρχιερευσ μαρτυρει μοι και παν το πρεσβυτεριον παρ ων και επιστολασ δεξαμενοσ προσ τουσ αδελφουσ εισ δαμασκον επορευομην αξων και τουσ εκεισε οντασ δεδεμενουσ εισ ιερουσαλημ ινα τιμωρηθωσιν
6And it came to pass, as I was going, and drawing nigh to Damascus at midday, that suddenly from heaven there shone round about me a great light:
6εγενετο δε μοι πορευομενω και εγγιζοντι τη δαμασκω περι μεσημβριαν εξαιφνησ εκ του ουρανου περιαστραψαι φωσ ικανον περι εμε
7And falling on the ground, I heard a voice saying to me: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
7επεσα τε εισ το εδαφοσ και ηκουσα φωνησ λεγουσησ μοι σαουλ σαουλ τι με διωκεισ
8And I answered: Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me: I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
8εγω δε απεκριθην τισ ει κυριε ειπεν τε προσ με εγω ειμι ιησουσ ο ναζωραιοσ ον συ διωκεισ
9And they that were with me, saw indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spoke with me.
9οι δε συν εμοι οντεσ το μεν φωσ εθεασαντο και εμφοβοι εγενοντο την δε φωνην ουκ ηκουσαν του λαλουντοσ μοι
10And I said: What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me: Arise, and go to Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things that thou must do.
10ειπον δε τι ποιησω κυριε ο δε κυριοσ ειπεν προσ με αναστασ πορευου εισ δαμασκον κακει σοι λαληθησεται περι παντων ων τετακται σοι ποιησαι
11And whereas I did not see for the brightness of that light, being led by the hand by my companions, I came to Damascus.
11ωσ δε ουκ ενεβλεπον απο τησ δοξησ του φωτοσ εκεινου χειραγωγουμενοσ υπο των συνοντων μοι ηλθον εισ δαμασκον
12And one Ananias, a man according to the law, having testimony of all the Jews who dwelt there,
12ανανιασ δε τισ ανηρ ευσεβησ κατα τον νομον μαρτυρουμενοσ υπο παντων των κατοικουντων ιουδαιων
13Coming to me, and standing by me, said to me: Brother Saul, look up. And I the same hour looked upon him.
13ελθων προσ με και επιστασ ειπεν μοι σαουλ αδελφε αναβλεψον καγω αυτη τη ωρα ανεβλεψα εισ αυτον
14But he said: The God of our fathers hath preordained thee that thou shouldst know his will, and see the Just One, and shouldst hear the voice from his mouth.
14ο δε ειπεν ο θεοσ των πατερων ημων προεχειρισατο σε γνωναι το θελημα αυτου και ιδειν τον δικαιον και ακουσαι φωνην εκ του στοματοσ αυτου
15For thou shalt be his witness to all men, of those things which thou hast seen and heard.
15οτι εση μαρτυσ αυτω προσ παντασ ανθρωπουσ ων εωρακασ και ηκουσασ
16And now why tarriest thou? Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, invoking his name.
16και νυν τι μελλεισ αναστασ βαπτισαι και απολουσαι τασ αμαρτιασ σου επικαλεσαμενοσ το ονομα του κυριου
17And it came to pass, when I was come again to Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance,
17εγενετο δε μοι υποστρεψαντι εισ ιερουσαλημ και προσευχομενου μου εν τω ιερω γενεσθαι με εν εκστασει
18And saw him saying unto me: Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
18και ιδειν αυτον λεγοντα μοι σπευσον και εξελθε εν ταχει εξ ιερουσαλημ διοτι ου παραδεξονται σου την μαρτυριαν περι εμου
19And I said: Lord, they know that I cast into prison, and beat in every synagogue, them that believed in thee.
19καγω ειπον κυριε αυτοι επιστανται οτι εγω ημην φυλακιζων και δερων κατα τασ συναγωγασ τουσ πιστευοντασ επι σε
20And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I stood by and consented, and kept the garments of them that killed him.
20και οτε εξεχειτο το αιμα στεφανου του μαρτυροσ σου και αυτοσ ημην εφεστωσ και συνευδοκων τη αναιρεσει αυτου φυλασσων τα ιματια των αναιρουντων αυτον
21And he said to me: Go, for unto the Gentiles afar off, will I send thee.
21και ειπεν προσ με πορευου οτι εγω εισ εθνη μακραν εξαποστελω σε
22And they heard him until this word, and then lifted up their voice, saying: Away with such an one from the earth; for it is not fit that he should live.
22ηκουον δε αυτου αχρι τουτου του λογου και επηραν την φωνην αυτων λεγοντεσ αιρε απο τησ γησ τον τοιουτον ου γαρ καθηκεν αυτον ζην
23And as they cried out and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,
23κραζοντων δε αυτων και ριπτουντων τα ιματια και κονιορτον βαλλοντων εισ τον αερα
24The tribune commanded him to be brought into the castle, and that he should be scourged and tortured: to know for what cause they did so cry out against him.
24εκελευσεν αυτον ο χιλιαρχοσ αγεσθαι εισ την παρεμβολην ειπων μαστιξιν ανεταζεσθαι αυτον ινα επιγνω δι ην αιτιαν ουτωσ επεφωνουν αυτω
25And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul saith to the centurion that stood by him: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
25ωσ δε προετεινεν αυτον τοισ ιμασιν ειπεν προσ τον εστωτα εκατονταρχον ο παυλοσ ει ανθρωπον ρωμαιον και ακατακριτον εξεστιν υμιν μαστιζειν
26Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune, and told him, saying: What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.
26ακουσασ δε ο εκατονταρχοσ προσελθων απηγγειλεν τω χιλιαρχω λεγων ορα τι μελλεισ ποιειν ο γαρ ανθρωποσ ουτοσ ρωμαιοσ εστιν
27And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me, art thou a Roman? But he said: Yea.
27προσελθων δε ο χιλιαρχοσ ειπεν αυτω λεγε μοι ει συ ρωμαιοσ ει ο δε εφη ναι
28And the tribune answered: I obtained the being free of this city with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was born so.
28απεκριθη τε ο χιλιαρχοσ εγω πολλου κεφαλαιου την πολιτειαν ταυτην εκτησαμην ο δε παυλοσ εφη εγω δε και γεγεννημαι
29Immediately therefore they departed from him that were about to torture him. The tribune also was afraid after he understood that he was a Roman citizen, and because he had bound him.
29ευθεωσ ουν απεστησαν απ αυτου οι μελλοντεσ αυτον ανεταζειν και ο χιλιαρχοσ δε εφοβηθη επιγνουσ οτι ρωμαιοσ εστιν και οτι ην αυτον δεδεκωσ
30But on the next day, meaning to know more diligently for what cause he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the priests to come together, and all the council: and bringing forth Paul, he set him before them.
30τη δε επαυριον βουλομενοσ γνωναι το ασφαλεσ το τι κατηγορειται παρα των ιουδαιων ελυσεν αυτον απο των δεσμων και εκελευσεν ελθειν τουσ αρχιερεισ και ολον το συνεδριον αυτων και καταγαγων τον παυλον εστησεν εισ αυτουσ
