1εγενετο δε εν τω τον απολλω ειναι εν κορινθω παυλον διελθοντα τα ανωτερικα μερη ελθειν εισ εφεσον και ευρων τινασ μαθητασ
1While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
2ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ει πνευμα αγιον ελαβετε πιστευσαντεσ οι δε ειπον προσ αυτον αλλ ουδε ει πνευμα αγιον εστιν ηκουσαμεν
2He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3ειπεν τε προσ αυτουσ εισ τι ουν εβαπτισθητε οι δε ειπον εισ το ιωαννου βαπτισμα
3He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
4ειπεν δε παυλοσ ιωαννησ μεν εβαπτισεν βαπτισμα μετανοιασ τω λαω λεγων εισ τον ερχομενον μετ αυτον ινα πιστευσωσιν τουτ εστιν εισ τον χριστον ιησουν
4Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”
5ακουσαντεσ δε εβαπτισθησαν εισ το ονομα του κυριου ιησου
5When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6και επιθεντοσ αυτοισ του παυλου τασ χειρασ ηλθεν το πνευμα το αγιον επ αυτουσ ελαλουν τε γλωσσαισ και προεφητευον
6When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
7ησαν δε οι παντεσ ανδρεσ ωσει δεκαδυο
7They were about twelve men in all.
8εισελθων δε εισ την συναγωγην επαρρησιαζετο επι μηνασ τρεισ διαλεγομενοσ και πειθων τα περι τησ βασιλειασ του θεου
8He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.
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
9But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
10τουτο δε εγενετο επι ετη δυο ωστε παντασ τουσ κατοικουντασ την ασιαν ακουσαι τον λογον του κυριου ιησου ιουδαιουσ τε και ελληνασ
10This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11δυναμεισ τε ου τασ τυχουσασ εποιει ο θεοσ δια των χειρων παυλου
11God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
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
12so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
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
13But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
14ησαν δε τινεσ υιοι σκευα ιουδαιου αρχιερεωσ επτα οι τουτο ποιουντεσ
14There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
15αποκριθεν δε το πνευμα το πονηρον ειπεν τον ιησουν γινωσκω και τον παυλον επισταμαι υμεισ δε τινεσ εστε
15The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
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
16The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
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
17This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18πολλοι τε των πεπιστευκοτων ηρχοντο εξομολογουμενοι και αναγγελλοντεσ τασ πραξεισ αυτων
18Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
19ικανοι δε των τα περιεργα πραξαντων συνενεγκαντεσ τασ βιβλουσ κατεκαιον ενωπιον παντων και συνεψηφισαν τασ τιμασ αυτων και ευρον αργυριου μυριαδασ πεντε
19Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20ουτωσ κατα κρατοσ ο λογοσ του κυριου ηυξανεν και ισχυεν
20So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
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
21Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
22αποστειλασ δε εισ την μακεδονιαν δυο των διακονουντων αυτω τιμοθεον και εραστον αυτοσ επεσχεν χρονον εισ την ασιαν
22Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
23εγενετο δε κατα τον καιρον εκεινον ταραχοσ ουκ ολιγοσ περι τησ οδου
23About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
24δημητριοσ γαρ τισ ονοματι αργυροκοποσ ποιων ναουσ αργυρουσ αρτεμιδοσ παρειχετο τοισ τεχνιταισ εργασιαν ουκ ολιγην
24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
25ουσ συναθροισασ και τουσ περι τα τοιαυτα εργατασ ειπεν ανδρεσ επιστασθε οτι εκ ταυτησ τησ εργασιασ η ευπορια ημων εστιν
25whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
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
26You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands.
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
27Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
28ακουσαντεσ δε και γενομενοι πληρεισ θυμου εκραζον λεγοντεσ μεγαλη η αρτεμισ εφεσιων
28When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
29και επλησθη η πολισ ολη τησ συγχυσεωσ ωρμησαν τε ομοθυμαδον εισ το θεατρον συναρπασαντεσ γαιον και αρισταρχον μακεδονασ συνεκδημουσ παυλου
29The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.
30του δε παυλου βουλομενου εισελθειν εισ τον δημον ουκ ειων αυτον οι μαθηται
30When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
31τινεσ δε και των ασιαρχων οντεσ αυτω φιλοι πεμψαντεσ προσ αυτον παρεκαλουν μη δουναι εαυτον εισ το θεατρον
31Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
32αλλοι μεν ουν αλλο τι εκραζον ην γαρ η εκκλησια συγκεχυμενη και οι πλειουσ ουκ ηδεισαν τινοσ ενεκεν συνεληλυθεισαν
32Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.
33εκ δε του οχλου προεβιβασαν αλεξανδρον προβαλοντων αυτον των ιουδαιων ο δε αλεξανδροσ κατασεισασ την χειρα ηθελεν απολογεισθαι τω δημω
33They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
34επιγνοντεσ δε οτι ιουδαιοσ εστιν φωνη εγενετο μια εκ παντων ωσ επι ωρασ δυο κραζοντων μεγαλη η αρτεμισ εφεσιων
34But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
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
35When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
36αναντιρρητων ουν οντων τουτων δεον εστιν υμασ κατεσταλμενουσ υπαρχειν και μηδεν προπετεσ πρασσειν
36Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
37ηγαγετε γαρ τουσ ανδρασ τουτουσ ουτε ιεροσυλουσ ουτε βλασφημουντασ την θεον υμων
37For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
38ει μεν ουν δημητριοσ και οι συν αυτω τεχνιται εχουσιν προσ τινα λογον αγοραιοι αγονται και ανθυπατοι εισιν εγκαλειτωσαν αλληλοισ
38If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
39ει δε τι περι ετερων επιζητειτε εν τη εννομω εκκλησια επιλυθησεται
39But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
40και γαρ κινδυνευομεν εγκαλεισθαι στασεωσ περι τησ σημερον μηδενοσ αιτιου υπαρχοντοσ περι ου ου δυνησομεθα δουναι λογον τησ συστροφησ ταυτησ
40For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”
41και ταυτα ειπων απελυσεν την εκκλησιαν
41When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
