Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
1ωσ δε εγενετο αναχθηναι ημασ αποσπασθεντασ απ αυτων ευθυδρομησαντεσ ηλθομεν εισ την κων τη δε εξησ εισ την ροδον κακειθεν εισ παταρα
2And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
2και ευροντεσ πλοιον διαπερων εισ φοινικην επιβαντεσ ανηχθημεν
3Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
3αναφανεντεσ δε την κυπρον και καταλιποντεσ αυτην ευωνυμον επλεομεν εισ συριαν και κατηχθημεν εισ τυρον εκεισε γαρ ην το πλοιον αποφορτιζομενον τον γομον
4And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
4και ανευροντεσ μαθητασ επεμειναμεν αυτου ημερασ επτα οιτινεσ τω παυλω ελεγον δια του πνευματοσ μη αναβαινειν εισ ιερουσαλημ
5And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
5οτε δε εγενετο ημασ εξαρτισαι τασ ημερασ εξελθοντεσ επορευομεθα προπεμποντων ημασ παντων συν γυναιξιν και τεκνοισ εωσ εξω τησ πολεωσ και θεντεσ τα γονατα επι τον αιγιαλον προσηυξαμεθα
6And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
6και ασπασαμενοι αλληλουσ επεβημεν εισ το πλοιον εκεινοι δε υπεστρεψαν εισ τα ιδια
7And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
7ημεισ δε τον πλουν διανυσαντεσ απο τυρου κατηντησαμεν εισ πτολεμαιδα και ασπασαμενοι τουσ αδελφουσ εμειναμεν ημεραν μιαν παρ αυτοισ
8And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
8τη δε επαυριον εξελθοντεσ οι περι τον παυλον ηλθον εισ καισαρειαν και εισελθοντεσ εισ τον οικον φιλιππου του ευαγγελιστου οντοσ εκ των επτα εμειναμεν παρ αυτω
9And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
9τουτω δε ησαν θυγατερεσ παρθενοι τεσσαρεσ προφητευουσαι
10And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.
10επιμενοντων δε ημων ημερασ πλειουσ κατηλθεν τισ απο τησ ιουδαιασ προφητησ ονοματι αγαβοσ
11And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
11και ελθων προσ ημασ και αρασ την ζωνην του παυλου δησασ τε αυτου τουσ ποδασ και τασ χειρασ ειπεν ταδε λεγει το πνευμα το αγιον τον ανδρα ου εστιν η ζωνη αυτη ουτωσ δησουσιν εν ιερουσαλημ οι ιουδαιοι και παραδωσουσιν εισ χειρασ εθνων
12And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
12ωσ δε ηκουσαμεν ταυτα παρεκαλουμεν ημεισ τε και οι εντοπιοι του μη αναβαινειν αυτον εισ ιερουσαλημ
13Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
13απεκριθη τε ο παυλοσ τι ποιειτε κλαιοντεσ και συνθρυπτοντεσ μου την καρδιαν εγω γαρ ου μονον δεθηναι αλλα και αποθανειν εισ ιερουσαλημ ετοιμωσ εχω υπερ του ονοματοσ του κυριου ιησου
14And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
14μη πειθομενου δε αυτου ησυχασαμεν ειποντεσ το θελημα του κυριου γενεσθω
15And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
15μετα δε τασ ημερασ ταυτασ επισκευασαμενοι ανεβαινομεν εισ ιερουσαλημ
16There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
16συνηλθον δε και των μαθητων απο καισαρειασ συν ημιν αγοντεσ παρ ω ξενισθωμεν μνασωνι τινι κυπριω αρχαιω μαθητη
17And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
17γενομενων δε ημων εισ ιεροσολυμα ασμενωσ εδεξαντο ημασ οι αδελφοι
18And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
18τη δε επιουση εισηει ο παυλοσ συν ημιν προσ ιακωβον παντεσ τε παρεγενοντο οι πρεσβυτεροι
19And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
19και ασπασαμενοσ αυτουσ εξηγειτο καθ εν εκαστον ων εποιησεν ο θεοσ εν τοισ εθνεσιν δια τησ διακονιασ αυτου
20And when they heard it , they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
20οι δε ακουσαντεσ εδοξαζον τον κυριον ειποντεσ αυτω θεωρεισ αδελφε ποσαι μυριαδεσ εισιν ιουδαιων των πεπιστευκοτων και παντεσ ζηλωται του νομου υπαρχουσιν
21And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
21κατηχηθησαν δε περι σου οτι αποστασιαν διδασκεισ απο μωυσεωσ τουσ κατα τα εθνη παντασ ιουδαιουσ λεγων μη περιτεμνειν αυτουσ τα τεκνα μηδε τοισ εθεσιν περιπατειν
22What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
22τι ουν εστιν παντωσ δει πληθοσ συνελθειν ακουσονται γαρ οτι εληλυθασ
23Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
23τουτο ουν ποιησον ο σοι λεγομεν εισιν ημιν ανδρεσ τεσσαρεσ ευχην εχοντεσ εφ εαυτων
24Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
24τουτουσ παραλαβων αγνισθητι συν αυτοισ και δαπανησον επ αυτοισ ινα ξυρησωνται την κεφαλην και γνωσιν παντεσ οτι ων κατηχηνται περι σου ουδεν εστιν αλλα στοιχεισ και αυτοσ τον νομον φυλασσων
25As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
25περι δε των πεπιστευκοτων εθνων ημεισ επεστειλαμεν κριναντεσ μηδεν τοιουτον τηρειν αυτουσ ει μη φυλασσεσθαι αυτουσ το τε ειδωλοθυτον και το αιμα και πνικτον και πορνειαν
26Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
26τοτε ο παυλοσ παραλαβων τουσ ανδρασ τη εχομενη ημερα συν αυτοισ αγνισθεισ εισηει εισ το ιερον διαγγελλων την εκπληρωσιν των ημερων του αγνισμου εωσ ου προσηνεχθη υπερ ενοσ εκαστου αυτων η προσφορα
27And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
27ωσ δε εμελλον αι επτα ημεραι συντελεισθαι οι απο τησ ασιασ ιουδαιοι θεασαμενοι αυτον εν τω ιερω συνεχεον παντα τον οχλον και επεβαλον τασ χειρασ επ αυτον
28Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
28κραζοντεσ ανδρεσ ισραηλιται βοηθειτε ουτοσ εστιν ο ανθρωποσ ο κατα του λαου και του νομου και του τοπου τουτου παντασ πανταχου διδασκων ετι τε και ελληνασ εισηγαγεν εισ το ιερον και κεκοινωκεν τον αγιον τοπον τουτον
29(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
29ησαν γαρ εωρακοτεσ τροφιμον τον εφεσιον εν τη πολει συν αυτω ον ενομιζον οτι εισ το ιερον εισηγαγεν ο παυλοσ
30And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
30εκινηθη τε η πολισ ολη και εγενετο συνδρομη του λαου και επιλαβομενοι του παυλου ειλκον αυτον εξω του ιερου και ευθεωσ εκλεισθησαν αι θυραι
31And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
31ζητουντων δε αυτον αποκτειναι ανεβη φασισ τω χιλιαρχω τησ σπειρησ οτι ολη συγκεχυται ιερουσαλημ
32Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
32οσ εξαυτησ παραλαβων στρατιωτασ και εκατονταρχουσ κατεδραμεν επ αυτουσ οι δε ιδοντεσ τον χιλιαρχον και τουσ στρατιωτασ επαυσαντο τυπτοντεσ τον παυλον
33Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
33εγγισασ δε ο χιλιαρχοσ επελαβετο αυτου και εκελευσεν δεθηναι αλυσεσιν δυσιν και επυνθανετο τισ αν ειη και τι εστιν πεποιηκωσ
34And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
34αλλοι δε αλλο τι εβοων εν τω οχλω μη δυναμενοσ δε γνωναι το ασφαλεσ δια τον θορυβον εκελευσεν αγεσθαι αυτον εισ την παρεμβολην
35And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
35οτε δε εγενετο επι τουσ αναβαθμουσ συνεβη βασταζεσθαι αυτον υπο των στρατιωτων δια την βιαν του οχλου
36For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
36ηκολουθει γαρ το πληθοσ του λαου κραζον αιρε αυτον
37And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
37μελλων τε εισαγεσθαι εισ την παρεμβολην ο παυλοσ λεγει τω χιλιαρχω ει εξεστιν μοι ειπειν προσ σε ο δε εφη ελληνιστι γινωσκεισ
38Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
38ουκ αρα συ ει ο αιγυπτιοσ ο προ τουτων των ημερων αναστατωσασ και εξαγαγων εισ την ερημον τουσ τετρακισχιλιουσ ανδρασ των σικαριων
39But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
39ειπεν δε ο παυλοσ εγω ανθρωποσ μεν ειμι ιουδαιοσ ταρσευσ τησ κιλικιασ ουκ ασημου πολεωσ πολιτησ δεομαι δε σου επιτρεψον μοι λαλησαι προσ τον λαον
40And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
40επιτρεψαντοσ δε αυτου ο παυλοσ εστωσ επι των αναβαθμων κατεσεισεν τη χειρι τω λαω πολλησ δε σιγησ γενομενησ προσεφωνει τη εβραιδι διαλεκτω λεγων
