1ατενισασ δε ο παυλοσ τω συνεδριω ειπεν ανδρεσ αδελφοι εγω παση συνειδησει αγαθη πεπολιτευμαι τω θεω αχρι ταυτησ τησ ημερασ
1Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
2ο δε αρχιερευσ ανανιασ επεταξεν τοισ παρεστωσιν αυτω τυπτειν αυτου το στομα
2The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
3τοτε ο παυλοσ προσ αυτον ειπεν τυπτειν σε μελλει ο θεοσ τοιχε κεκονιαμενε και συ καθη κρινων με κατα τον νομον και παρανομων κελευεισ με τυπτεσθαι
3Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”
4οι δε παρεστωτεσ ειπον τον αρχιερεα του θεου λοιδορεισ
4Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
5εφη τε ο παυλοσ ουκ ηδειν αδελφοι οτι εστιν αρχιερευσ γεγραπται γαρ αρχοντα του λαου σου ουκ ερεισ κακωσ
5Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
6γνουσ δε ο παυλοσ οτι το εν μεροσ εστιν σαδδουκαιων το δε ετερον φαρισαιων εκραξεν εν τω συνεδριω ανδρεσ αδελφοι εγω φαρισαιοσ ειμι υιοσ φαρισαιου περι ελπιδοσ και αναστασεωσ νεκρων εγω κρινομαι
6But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”
7τουτο δε αυτου λαλησαντοσ εγενετο στασισ των φαρισαιων και εσχισθη το πληθοσ
7When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
8σαδδουκαιοι μεν γαρ λεγουσιν μη ειναι αναστασιν μηδε αγγελον μητε πνευμα φαρισαιοι δε ομολογουσιν τα αμφοτερα
8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
9εγενετο δε κραυγη μεγαλη και ανασταντεσ οι γραμματεισ του μερουσ των φαρισαιων διεμαχοντο λεγοντεσ ουδεν κακον ευρισκομεν εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω ει δε πνευμα ελαλησεν αυτω η αγγελοσ μη θεομαχωμεν
9A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”
10πολλησ δε γενομενησ στασεωσ ευλαβηθεισ ο χιλιαρχοσ μη διασπασθη ο παυλοσ υπ αυτων εκελευσεν το στρατευμα καταβηναι και αρπασαι αυτον εκ μεσου αυτων αγειν τε εισ την παρεμβολην
10When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them and bring him into the barracks.
11τη δε επιουση νυκτι επιστασ αυτω ο κυριοσ ειπεν θαρσει παυλε ωσ γαρ διεμαρτυρω τα περι εμου εισ ιερουσαλημ ουτωσ σε δει και εισ ρωμην μαρτυρησαι
11The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”
12γενομενησ δε ημερασ ποιησαντεσ τινεσ των ιουδαιων συστροφην ανεθεματισαν εαυτουσ λεγοντεσ μητε φαγειν μητε πιειν εωσ ου αποκτεινωσιν τον παυλον
12When it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
13ησαν δε πλειουσ τεσσαρακοντα οι ταυτην την συνωμοσιαν πεποιηκοτεσ
13There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
14οιτινεσ προσελθοντεσ τοισ αρχιερευσιν και τοισ πρεσβυτεροισ ειπον αναθεματι ανεθεματισαμεν εαυτουσ μηδενοσ γευσασθαι εωσ ου αποκτεινωμεν τον παυλον
14They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great curse to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
15νυν ουν υμεισ εμφανισατε τω χιλιαρχω συν τω συνεδριω οπωσ αυριον αυτον καταγαγη προσ υμασ ωσ μελλοντασ διαγινωσκειν ακριβεστερον τα περι αυτου ημεισ δε προ του εγγισαι αυτον ετοιμοι εσμεν του ανελειν αυτον
15Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
16ακουσασ δε ο υιοσ τησ αδελφησ παυλου το ενεδρον παραγενομενοσ και εισελθων εισ την παρεμβολην απηγγειλεν τω παυλω
16But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
17προσκαλεσαμενοσ δε ο παυλοσ ενα των εκατονταρχων εφη τον νεανιαν τουτον απαγαγε προσ τον χιλιαρχον εχει γαρ τι απαγγειλαι αυτω
17Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
18ο μεν ουν παραλαβων αυτον ηγαγεν προσ τον χιλιαρχον και φησιν ο δεσμιοσ παυλοσ προσκαλεσαμενοσ με ηρωτησεν τουτον τον νεανιαν αγαγειν προσ σε εχοντα τι λαλησαι σοι
18So he took him and brought him to the commanding officer and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
19επιλαβομενοσ δε τησ χειροσ αυτου ο χιλιαρχοσ και αναχωρησασ κατ ιδιαν επυνθανετο τι εστιν ο εχεισ απαγγειλαι μοι
19The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
20ειπεν δε οτι οι ιουδαιοι συνεθεντο του ερωτησαι σε οπωσ αυριον εισ το συνεδριον καταγαγησ τον παυλον ωσ μελλοντα τι ακριβεστερον πυνθανεσθαι περι αυτου
20He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
21συ ουν μη πεισθησ αυτοισ ενεδρευουσιν γαρ αυτον εξ αυτων ανδρεσ πλειουσ τεσσαρακοντα οιτινεσ ανεθεματισαν εαυτουσ μητε φαγειν μητε πιειν εωσ ου ανελωσιν αυτον και νυν ετοιμοι εισιν προσδεχομενοι την απο σου επαγγελιαν
21Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”
22ο μεν ουν χιλιαρχοσ απελυσεν τον νεανιαν παραγγειλασ μηδενι εκλαλησαι οτι ταυτα ενεφανισασ προσ με
22So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
23και προσκαλεσαμενοσ δυο τινασ των εκατονταρχων ειπεν ετοιμασατε στρατιωτασ διακοσιουσ οπωσ πορευθωσιν εωσ καισαρειασ και ιππεισ εβδομηκοντα και δεξιολαβουσ διακοσιουσ απο τριτησ ωρασ τησ νυκτοσ
23He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night.”
24κτηνη τε παραστησαι ινα επιβιβασαντεσ τον παυλον διασωσωσιν προσ φηλικα τον ηγεμονα
24He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
25γραψασ επιστολην περιεχουσαν τον τυπον τουτον
25He wrote a letter like this:
26κλαυδιοσ λυσιασ τω κρατιστω ηγεμονι φηλικι χαιρειν
26“Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
27τον ανδρα τουτον συλληφθεντα υπο των ιουδαιων και μελλοντα αναιρεισθαι υπ αυτων επιστασ συν τω στρατευματι εξειλομην αυτον μαθων οτι ρωμαιοσ εστιν
27“This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
28βουλομενοσ δε γνωναι την αιτιαν δι ην ενεκαλουν αυτω κατηγαγον αυτον εισ το συνεδριον αυτων
28Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
29ον ευρον εγκαλουμενον περι ζητηματων του νομου αυτων μηδεν αξιον θανατου η δεσμων εγκλημα εχοντα
29I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
30μηνυθεισησ δε μοι επιβουλησ εισ τον ανδρα μελλειν εσεσθαι υπο των ιουδαιων εξαυτησ επεμψα προσ σε παραγγειλασ και τοισ κατηγοροισ λεγειν τα προσ αυτον επι σου ερρωσο
30When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”
31οι μεν ουν στρατιωται κατα το διατεταγμενον αυτοισ αναλαβοντεσ τον παυλον ηγαγον δια τησ νυκτοσ εισ την αντιπατριδα
31So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32τη δε επαυριον εασαντεσ τουσ ιππεισ πορευεσθαι συν αυτω υπεστρεψαν εισ την παρεμβολην
32But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
33οιτινεσ εισελθοντεσ εισ την καισαρειαν και αναδοντεσ την επιστολην τω ηγεμονι παρεστησαν και τον παυλον αυτω
33When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
34αναγνουσ δε ο ηγεμων και επερωτησασ εκ ποιασ επαρχιασ εστιν και πυθομενοσ οτι απο κιλικιασ
34When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
35διακουσομαι σου εφη οταν και οι κατηγοροι σου παραγενωνται εκελευσεν τε αυτον εν τω πραιτωριω ηρωδου φυλασσεσθαι
35“I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
