Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
1ατενισασ δε ο παυλοσ τω συνεδριω ειπεν ανδρεσ αδελφοι εγω παση συνειδησει αγαθη πεπολιτευμαι τω θεω αχρι ταυτησ τησ ημερασ
2And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
2ο δε αρχιερευσ ανανιασ επεταξεν τοισ παρεστωσιν αυτω τυπτειν αυτου το στομα
3Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
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
4And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
4οι δε παρεστωτεσ ειπον τον αρχιερεα του θεου λοιδορεισ
5Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
5εφη τε ο παυλοσ ουκ ηδειν αδελφοι οτι εστιν αρχιερευσ γεγραπται γαρ αρχοντα του λαου σου ουκ ερεισ κακωσ
6But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
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
7And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
7τουτο δε αυτου λαλησαντοσ εγενετο στασισ των φαρισαιων και εσχισθη το πληθοσ
8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
8σαδδουκαιοι μεν γαρ λεγουσιν μη ειναι αναστασιν μηδε αγγελον μητε πνευμα φαρισαιοι δε ομολογουσιν τα αμφοτερα
9And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
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
10And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
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
11And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
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
12And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
12γενομενησ δε ημερασ ποιησαντεσ τινεσ των ιουδαιων συστροφην ανεθεματισαν εαυτουσ λεγοντεσ μητε φαγειν μητε πιειν εωσ ου αποκτεινωσιν τον παυλον
13And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
13ησαν δε πλειουσ τεσσαρακοντα οι ταυτην την συνωμοσιαν πεποιηκοτεσ
14And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
14οιτινεσ προσελθοντεσ τοισ αρχιερευσιν και τοισ πρεσβυτεροισ ειπον αναθεματι ανεθεματισαμεν εαυτουσ μηδενοσ γευσασθαι εωσ ου αποκτεινωμεν τον παυλον
15Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
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
16And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
16ακουσασ δε ο υιοσ τησ αδελφησ παυλου το ενεδρον παραγενομενοσ και εισελθων εισ την παρεμβολην απηγγειλεν τω παυλω
17Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him , and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
17προσκαλεσαμενοσ δε ο παυλοσ ενα των εκατονταρχων εφη τον νεανιαν τουτον απαγαγε προσ τον χιλιαρχον εχει γαρ τι απαγγειλαι αυτω
18So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him , and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
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
19Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him , What is that thou hast to tell me?
19επιλαβομενοσ δε τησ χειροσ αυτου ο χιλιαρχοσ και αναχωρησασ κατ ιδιαν επυνθανετο τι εστιν ο εχεισ απαγγειλαι μοι
20And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
20ειπεν δε οτι οι ιουδαιοι συνεθεντο του ερωτησαι σε οπωσ αυριον εισ το συνεδριον καταγαγησ τον παυλον ωσ μελλοντα τι ακριβεστερον πυνθανεσθαι περι αυτου
21But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
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
22So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
22ο μεν ουν χιλιαρχοσ απελυσεν τον νεανιαν παραγγειλασ μηδενι εκλαλησαι οτι ταυτα ενεφανισασ προσ με
23And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
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
24And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
24κτηνη τε παραστησαι ινα επιβιβασαντεσ τον παυλον διασωσωσιν προσ φηλικα τον ηγεμονα
25And he wrote a letter after this manner:
25γραψασ επιστολην περιεχουσαν τον τυπον τουτον
26Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
26κλαυδιοσ λυσιασ τω κρατιστω ηγεμονι φηλικι χαιρειν
27This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
27τον ανδρα τουτον συλληφθεντα υπο των ιουδαιων και μελλοντα αναιρεισθαι υπ αυτων επιστασ συν τω στρατευματι εξειλομην αυτον μαθων οτι ρωμαιοσ εστιν
28And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
28βουλομενοσ δε γνωναι την αιτιαν δι ην ενεκαλουν αυτω κατηγαγον αυτον εισ το συνεδριον αυτων
29Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
29ον ευρον εγκαλουμενον περι ζητηματων του νομου αυτων μηδεν αξιον θανατου η δεσμων εγκλημα εχοντα
30And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
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
31Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
31οι μεν ουν στρατιωται κατα το διατεταγμενον αυτοισ αναλαβοντεσ τον παυλον ηγαγον δια τησ νυκτοσ εισ την αντιπατριδα
32On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
32τη δε επαυριον εασαντεσ τουσ ιππεισ πορευεσθαι συν αυτω υπεστρεψαν εισ την παρεμβολην
33Who, when they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
33οιτινεσ εισελθοντεσ εισ την καισαρειαν και αναδοντεσ την επιστολην τω ηγεμονι παρεστησαν και τον παυλον αυτω
34And when the governor had read the letter , he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
34αναγνουσ δε ο ηγεμων και επερωτησασ εκ ποιασ επαρχιασ εστιν και πυθομενοσ οτι απο κιλικιασ
35I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
35διακουσομαι σου εφη οταν και οι κατηγοροι σου παραγενωνται εκελευσεν τε αυτον εν τω πραιτωριω ηρωδου φυλασσεσθαι
