King James Version with Apocrypha
1ανδρεσ αδελφοι και πατερεσ ακουσατε μου τησ προσ υμασ νυνι απολογιασ
1Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
2ακουσαντεσ δε οτι τη εβραιδι διαλεκτω προσεφωνει αυτοισ μαλλον παρεσχον ησυχιαν και φησιν
2(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
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
3I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
4οσ ταυτην την οδον εδιωξα αχρι θανατου δεσμευων και παραδιδουσ εισ φυλακασ ανδρασ τε και γυναικασ
4And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
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
5As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
6εγενετο δε μοι πορευομενω και εγγιζοντι τη δαμασκω περι μεσημβριαν εξαιφνησ εκ του ουρανου περιαστραψαι φωσ ικανον περι εμε
6And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
7επεσα τε εισ το εδαφοσ και ηκουσα φωνησ λεγουσησ μοι σαουλ σαουλ τι με διωκεισ
7And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8εγω δε απεκριθην τισ ει κυριε ειπεν τε προσ με εγω ειμι ιησουσ ο ναζωραιοσ ον συ διωκεισ
8And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9οι δε συν εμοι οντεσ το μεν φωσ εθεασαντο και εμφοβοι εγενοντο την δε φωνην ουκ ηκουσαν του λαλουντοσ μοι
9And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
10ειπον δε τι ποιησω κυριε ο δε κυριοσ ειπεν προσ με αναστασ πορευου εισ δαμασκον κακει σοι λαληθησεται περι παντων ων τετακται σοι ποιησαι
10And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
11ωσ δε ουκ ενεβλεπον απο τησ δοξησ του φωτοσ εκεινου χειραγωγουμενοσ υπο των συνοντων μοι ηλθον εισ δαμασκον
11And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12ανανιασ δε τισ ανηρ ευσεβησ κατα τον νομον μαρτυρουμενοσ υπο παντων των κατοικουντων ιουδαιων
12And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there ,
13ελθων προσ με και επιστασ ειπεν μοι σαουλ αδελφε αναβλεψον καγω αυτη τη ωρα ανεβλεψα εισ αυτον
13Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
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
14And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
15οτι εση μαρτυσ αυτω προσ παντασ ανθρωπουσ ων εωρακασ και ηκουσασ
15For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
16και νυν τι μελλεισ αναστασ βαπτισαι και απολουσαι τασ αμαρτιασ σου επικαλεσαμενοσ το ονομα του κυριου
16And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
17εγενετο δε μοι υποστρεψαντι εισ ιερουσαλημ και προσευχομενου μου εν τω ιερω γενεσθαι με εν εκστασει
17And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
18και ιδειν αυτον λεγοντα μοι σπευσον και εξελθε εν ταχει εξ ιερουσαλημ διοτι ου παραδεξονται σου την μαρτυριαν περι εμου
18And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19καγω ειπον κυριε αυτοι επιστανται οτι εγω ημην φυλακιζων και δερων κατα τασ συναγωγασ τουσ πιστευοντασ επι σε
19And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
20και οτε εξεχειτο το αιμα στεφανου του μαρτυροσ σου και αυτοσ ημην εφεστωσ και συνευδοκων τη αναιρεσει αυτου φυλασσων τα ιματια των αναιρουντων αυτον
20And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21και ειπεν προσ με πορευου οτι εγω εισ εθνη μακραν εξαποστελω σε
21And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
22ηκουον δε αυτου αχρι τουτου του λογου και επηραν την φωνην αυτων λεγοντεσ αιρε απο τησ γησ τον τοιουτον ου γαρ καθηκεν αυτον ζην
22And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
23κραζοντων δε αυτων και ριπτουντων τα ιματια και κονιορτον βαλλοντων εισ τον αερα
23And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
24εκελευσεν αυτον ο χιλιαρχοσ αγεσθαι εισ την παρεμβολην ειπων μαστιξιν ανεταζεσθαι αυτον ινα επιγνω δι ην αιτιαν ουτωσ επεφωνουν αυτω
24The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
25ωσ δε προετεινεν αυτον τοισ ιμασιν ειπεν προσ τον εστωτα εκατονταρχον ο παυλοσ ει ανθρωπον ρωμαιον και ακατακριτον εξεστιν υμιν μαστιζειν
25And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
26ακουσασ δε ο εκατονταρχοσ προσελθων απηγγειλεν τω χιλιαρχω λεγων ορα τι μελλεισ ποιειν ο γαρ ανθρωποσ ουτοσ ρωμαιοσ εστιν
26When the centurion heard that , he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
27προσελθων δε ο χιλιαρχοσ ειπεν αυτω λεγε μοι ει συ ρωμαιοσ ει ο δε εφη ναι
27Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
28απεκριθη τε ο χιλιαρχοσ εγω πολλου κεφαλαιου την πολιτειαν ταυτην εκτησαμην ο δε παυλοσ εφη εγω δε και γεγεννημαι
28And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
29ευθεωσ ουν απεστησαν απ αυτου οι μελλοντεσ αυτον ανεταζειν και ο χιλιαρχοσ δε εφοβηθη επιγνουσ οτι ρωμαιοσ εστιν και οτι ην αυτον δεδεκωσ
29Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
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
30On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
