Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
1φηστοσ ουν επιβασ τη επαρχια μετα τρεισ ημερασ ανεβη εισ ιεροσολυμα απο καισαρειασ
2And the chief priests, and principal men of the Jews, went unto him against Paul: and they besought him,
2ενεφανισαν δε αυτω ο αρχιερευσ και οι πρωτοι των ιουδαιων κατα του παυλου και παρεκαλουν αυτον
3Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.
3αιτουμενοι χαριν κατ αυτου οπωσ μεταπεμψηται αυτον εισ ιερουσαλημ ενεδραν ποιουντεσ ανελειν αυτον κατα την οδον
4But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.
4ο μεν ουν φηστοσ απεκριθη τηρεισθαι τον παυλον εν καισαρεια εαυτον δε μελλειν εν ταχει εκπορευεσθαι
5Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me, and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man.
5οι ουν δυνατοι εν υμιν φησιν συγκαταβαντεσ ει τι εστιν εν τω ανδρι τουτω κατηγορειτωσαν αυτου
6And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he sat in the judgment seat; and commanded Paul to be brought.
6διατριψασ δε εν αυτοισ ημερασ πλειουσ η δεκα καταβασ εισ καισαρειαν τη επαυριον καθισασ επι του βηματοσ εκελευσεν τον παυλον αχθηναι
7Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievous causes, which they could not prove;
7παραγενομενου δε αυτου περιεστησαν οι απο ιεροσολυμων καταβεβηκοτεσ ιουδαιοι πολλα και βαρεα αιτιωματα φεροντεσ κατα του παυλου α ουκ ισχυον αποδειξαι
8Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing.
8απολογουμενου αυτου οτι ουτε εισ τον νομον των ιουδαιων ουτε εισ το ιερον ουτε εισ καισαρα τι ημαρτον
9But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
9ο φηστοσ δε τοισ ιουδαιοισ θελων χαριν καταθεσθαι αποκριθεισ τω παυλω ειπεν θελεισ εισ ιεροσολυμα αναβασ εκει περι τουτων κρινεσθαι επ εμου
10Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest.
10ειπεν δε ο παυλοσ επι του βηματοσ καισαροσ εστωσ ειμι ου με δει κρινεσθαι ιουδαιουσ ουδεν ηδικησα ωσ και συ καλλιον επιγινωσκεισ
11For if I have injured them, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them: I appeal to Caesar.
11ει μεν γαρ αδικω και αξιον θανατου πεπραχα τι ου παραιτουμαι το αποθανειν ει δε ουδεν εστιν ων ουτοι κατηγορουσιν μου ουδεισ με δυναται αυτοισ χαρισασθαι καισαρα επικαλουμαι
12Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.
12τοτε ο φηστοσ συλλαλησασ μετα του συμβουλιου απεκριθη καισαρα επικεκλησαι επι καισαρα πορευση
13And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
13ημερων δε διαγενομενων τινων αγριππασ ο βασιλευσ και βερνικη κατηντησαν εισ καισαρειαν ασπασαμενοι τον φηστον
14And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.
14ωσ δε πλειουσ ημερασ διετριβεν εκει ο φηστοσ τω βασιλει ανεθετο τα κατα τον παυλον λεγων ανηρ τισ εστιν καταλελειμμενοσ υπο φηλικοσ δεσμιοσ
15About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.
15περι ου γενομενου μου εισ ιεροσολυμα ενεφανισαν οι αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι των ιουδαιων αιτουμενοι κατ αυτου δικην
16To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.
16προσ ουσ απεκριθην οτι ουκ εστιν εθοσ ρωμαιοισ χαριζεσθαι τινα ανθρωπον εισ απωλειαν πριν η ο κατηγορουμενοσ κατα προσωπον εχοι τουσ κατηγορουσ τοπον τε απολογιασ λαβοι περι του εγκληματοσ
17When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
17συνελθοντων ουν αυτων ενθαδε αναβολην μηδεμιαν ποιησαμενοσ τη εξησ καθισασ επι του βηματοσ εκελευσα αχθηναι τον ανδρα
18Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:
18περι ου σταθεντεσ οι κατηγοροι ουδεμιαν αιτιαν επεφερον ων υπενοουν εγω
19But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
19ζητηματα δε τινα περι τησ ιδιασ δεισιδαιμονιασ ειχον προσ αυτον και περι τινοσ ιησου τεθνηκοτοσ ον εφασκεν ο παυλοσ ζην
20I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.
20απορουμενοσ δε εγω την περι τουτου ζητησιν ελεγον ει βουλοιτο πορευεσθαι εισ ιερουσαλημ κακει κρινεσθαι περι τουτων
21But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.
21του δε παυλου επικαλεσαμενου τηρηθηναι αυτον εισ την του σεβαστου διαγνωσιν εκελευσα τηρεισθαι αυτον εωσ ου πεμψω αυτον προσ καισαρα
22And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
22αγριππασ δε προσ τον φηστον εφη εβουλομην και αυτοσ του ανθρωπου ακουσαι ο δε αυριον φησιν ακουση αυτου
23And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp, and had entered into the hall of audience, with the tribunes, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment, Paul was brought forth.
23τη ουν επαυριον ελθοντοσ του αγριππα και τησ βερνικησ μετα πολλησ φαντασιασ και εισελθοντων εισ το ακροατηριον συν τε τοισ χιλιαρχοισ και ανδρασιν τοισ κατ εξοχην ουσιν τησ πολεωσ και κελευσαντοσ του φηστου ηχθη ο παυλοσ
24And Festus saith: King Agrippa, and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
24και φησιν ο φηστοσ αγριππα βασιλευ και παντεσ οι συμπαροντεσ ημιν ανδρεσ θεωρειτε τουτον περι ου παν το πληθοσ των ιουδαιων ενετυχον μοι εν τε ιεροσολυμοισ και ενθαδε επιβοωντεσ μη δειν ζην αυτον μηκετι
25Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
25εγω δε καταλαβομενοσ μηδεν αξιον θανατου αυτον πεπραχεναι και αυτου δε τουτου επικαλεσαμενου τον σεβαστον εκρινα πεμπειν αυτον
26Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that examination being made, I may have what to write.
26περι ου ασφαλεσ τι γραψαι τω κυριω ουκ εχω διο προηγαγον αυτον εφ υμων και μαλιστα επι σου βασιλευ αγριππα οπωσ τησ ανακρισεωσ γενομενησ σχω τι γραψαι
27For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
27αλογον γαρ μοι δοκει πεμποντα δεσμιον μη και τασ κατ αυτου αιτιασ σημαναι
