Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And after five days the high priest Ananias came down, with some of the ancients, and one Tertullus an orator, who went to the governor against Paul.
1μετα δε πεντε ημερασ κατεβη ο αρχιερευσ ανανιασ μετα των πρεσβυτερων και ρητοροσ τερτυλλου τινοσ οιτινεσ ενεφανισαν τω ηγεμονι κατα του παυλου
2And Paul being called for, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: Whereas through thee we live in much peace, and many things are rectified by thy providence,
2κληθεντοσ δε αυτου ηρξατο κατηγορειν ο τερτυλλοσ λεγων πολλησ ειρηνησ τυγχανοντεσ δια σου και κατορθωματων γινομενων τω εθνει τουτω δια τησ σησ προνοιασ
3We accept it always and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thanksgiving.
3παντη τε και πανταχου αποδεχομεθα κρατιστε φηλιξ μετα πασησ ευχαριστιασ
4But that I be no further tedious to thee, I desire thee of thy clemency to hear us in few words.
4ινα δε μη επι πλειον σε εγκοπτω παρακαλω ακουσαι σε ημων συντομωσ τη ση επιεικεια
5We have found this to be a pestilent man, and raising seditions among all the Jews throughout the world, and author of the sedition of the sect of the Nazarenes.
5ευροντεσ γαρ τον ανδρα τουτον λοιμον και κινουντα στασιν πασιν τοισ ιουδαιοισ τοισ κατα την οικουμενην πρωτοστατην τε τησ των ναζωραιων αιρεσεωσ
6Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom, we having apprehended, would also have judged according to our law.
6οσ και το ιερον επειρασεν βεβηλωσαι ον και εκρατησαμεν
7But Lysias the tribune coming upon us, with great violence took him away out of our hands;
no verse 7 in this text
8Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest thyself, by examination, have knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
8παρ ου δυνηση αυτοσ ανακρινασ περι παντων τουτων επιγνωναι ων ημεισ κατηγορουμεν αυτου
9And the Jews also added, and said that these things were so.
9συνεπεθεντο δε και οι ιουδαιοι φασκοντεσ ταυτα ουτωσ εχειν
10Then Paul answered, (the governor making a sign to him to speak:) Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge over this nation, I will with good courage answer for myself.
10απεκριθη δε ο παυλοσ νευσαντοσ αυτω του ηγεμονοσ λεγειν εκ πολλων ετων οντα σε κριτην τω εθνει τουτω επισταμενοσ ευθυμοτερον τα περι εμαυτου απολογουμαι
11For thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days, since I went up to adore in Jerusalem:
11δυναμενου σου γνωναι οτι ου πλειουσ εισιν μοι ημεραι δεκαδυο αφ ησ ανεβην προσκυνησων εν ιερουσαλημ
12And neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man, or causing any concourse of the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
12και ουτε εν τω ιερω ευρον με προσ τινα διαλεγομενον η επισυστασιν ποιουντα οχλου ουτε εν ταισ συναγωγαισ ουτε κατα την πολιν
13Neither can they prove unto thee the things whereof they now accuse me.
13ουτε παραστησαι με δυνανται περι ων νυν κατηγορουσιν μου
14But this I confess to thee, that according to the way, which they call a heresy, so do I serve the Father and my God, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets:
14ομολογω δε τουτο σοι οτι κατα την οδον ην λεγουσιν αιρεσιν ουτωσ λατρευω τω πατρωω θεω πιστευων πασιν τοισ κατα τον νομον και τοισ προφηταισ γεγραμμενοισ
15Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust.
15ελπιδα εχων εισ τον θεον ην και αυτοι ουτοι προσδεχονται αναστασιν μελλειν εσεσθαι νεκρων δικαιων τε και αδικων
16And herein do I endeavour to have always a conscience without offence toward God, and towards men.
16εν τουτω δε αυτοσ ασκω απροσκοπον συνειδησιν εχων προσ τον θεον και τουσ ανθρωπουσ δια παντοσ
17Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings, and vows.
17δι ετων δε πλειονων παρεγενομην ελεημοσυνασ ποιησων εισ το εθνοσ μου και προσφορασ
18In which I was found purified in the temple: neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
18εν οισ ευρον με ηγνισμενον εν τω ιερω ου μετα οχλου ουδε μετα θορυβου τινεσ απο τησ ασιασ ιουδαιοι
19But certain Jews of Asia, who ought to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had any thing against me:
19ουσ δει επι σου παρειναι και κατηγορειν ει τι εχοιεν προσ με
20Or let these men themselves say, if they found in me any iniquity, when standing before the council,
20η αυτοι ουτοι ειπατωσαν τι ευρον εν εμοι αδικημα σταντοσ μου επι του συνεδριου
21Except it be for this one voice only that I cried, standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by you.
21η περι μιασ ταυτησ φωνησ ησ εκραξα εστωσ εν αυτοισ οτι περι αναστασεωσ νεκρων εγω κρινομαι σημερον υφ υμων
22And Felix put them off, having most certain knowledge of this way, saying: When Lysias the tribune shall come down, I will hear you.
22ακουσασ δε ταυτα ο φηλιξ ανεβαλετο αυτουσ ακριβεστερον ειδωσ τα περι τησ οδου ειπων οταν λυσιασ ο χιλιαρχοσ καταβη διαγνωσομαι τα καθ υμασ
23And he commanded a centurion to keep him, and that he should be easy, and that he should not prohibit any of his friends to minister unto him.
23διαταξαμενοσ τε τω εκατονταρχη τηρεισθαι τον παυλον εχειν τε ανεσιν και μηδενα κωλυειν των ιδιων αυτου υπηρετειν η προσερχεσθαι αυτω
24And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul, and heard of him the faith, that is in Christ Jesus.
24μετα δε ημερασ τινασ παραγενομενοσ ο φηλιξ συν δρουσιλλη τη γυναικι ουση ιουδαια μετεπεμψατο τον παυλον και ηκουσεν αυτου περι τησ εισ χριστον πιστεωσ
25And as he treated of justice, and chastity, and of the judgment to come, Felix being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee.
25διαλεγομενου δε αυτου περι δικαιοσυνησ και εγκρατειασ και του κριματοσ του μελλοντοσ εσεσθαι εμφοβοσ γενομενοσ ο φηλιξ απεκριθη το νυν εχον πορευου καιρον δε μεταλαβων μετακαλεσομαι σε
26Hoping also withal, that money should be given him by Paul; for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him.
26αμα και ελπιζων οτι χρηματα δοθησεται αυτω υπο του παυλου οπωσ λυση αυτον διο και πυκνοτερον αυτον μεταπεμπομενοσ ωμιλει αυτω
27But when two years were ended, Felix had for successor Portius Festus. And Felix being willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
27διετιασ δε πληρωθεισησ ελαβεν διαδοχον ο φηλιξ πορκιον φηστον θελων τε χαριτασ καταθεσθαι τοισ ιουδαιοισ ο φηλιξ κατελιπεν τον παυλον δεδεμενον
