King James Version with Apocrypha
Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
1μετα δε πεντε ημερασ κατεβη ο αρχιερευσ ανανιασ μετα των πρεσβυτερων και ρητοροσ τερτυλλου τινοσ οιτινεσ ενεφανισαν τω ηγεμονι κατα του παυλου
2And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him , saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
2κληθεντοσ δε αυτου ηρξατο κατηγορειν ο τερτυλλοσ λεγων πολλησ ειρηνησ τυγχανοντεσ δια σου και κατορθωματων γινομενων τω εθνει τουτω δια τησ σησ προνοιασ
3We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
3παντη τε και πανταχου αποδεχομεθα κρατιστε φηλιξ μετα πασησ ευχαριστιασ
4Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
4ινα δε μη επι πλειον σε εγκοπτω παρακαλω ακουσαι σε ημων συντομωσ τη ση επιεικεια
5For we have found this man a pestilent fellow , and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
5ευροντεσ γαρ τον ανδρα τουτον λοιμον και κινουντα στασιν πασιν τοισ ιουδαιοισ τοισ κατα την οικουμενην πρωτοστατην τε τησ των ναζωραιων αιρεσεωσ
6Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
6οσ και το ιερον επειρασεν βεβηλωσαι ον και εκρατησαμεν
7But the chief captain Lysias came upon us , and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
no verse 7 in this text
8Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
8παρ ου δυνηση αυτοσ ανακρινασ περι παντων τουτων επιγνωναι ων ημεισ κατηγορουμεν αυτου
9And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
9συνεπεθεντο δε και οι ιουδαιοι φασκοντεσ ταυτα ουτωσ εχειν
10Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
10απεκριθη δε ο παυλοσ νευσαντοσ αυτω του ηγεμονοσ λεγειν εκ πολλων ετων οντα σε κριτην τω εθνει τουτω επισταμενοσ ευθυμοτερον τα περι εμαυτου απολογουμαι
11Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
11δυναμενου σου γνωναι οτι ου πλειουσ εισιν μοι ημεραι δεκαδυο αφ ησ ανεβην προσκυνησων εν ιερουσαλημ
12And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
12και ουτε εν τω ιερω ευρον με προσ τινα διαλεγομενον η επισυστασιν ποιουντα οχλου ουτε εν ταισ συναγωγαισ ουτε κατα την πολιν
13Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
13ουτε παραστησαι με δυνανται περι ων νυν κατηγορουσιν μου
14But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
14ομολογω δε τουτο σοι οτι κατα την οδον ην λεγουσιν αιρεσιν ουτωσ λατρευω τω πατρωω θεω πιστευων πασιν τοισ κατα τον νομον και τοισ προφηταισ γεγραμμενοισ
15And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
15ελπιδα εχων εισ τον θεον ην και αυτοι ουτοι προσδεχονται αναστασιν μελλειν εσεσθαι νεκρων δικαιων τε και αδικων
16And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
16εν τουτω δε αυτοσ ασκω απροσκοπον συνειδησιν εχων προσ τον θεον και τουσ ανθρωπουσ δια παντοσ
17Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
17δι ετων δε πλειονων παρεγενομην ελεημοσυνασ ποιησων εισ το εθνοσ μου και προσφορασ
18Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
18εν οισ ευρον με ηγνισμενον εν τω ιερω ου μετα οχλου ουδε μετα θορυβου τινεσ απο τησ ασιασ ιουδαιοι
19Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
19ουσ δει επι σου παρειναι και κατηγορειν ει τι εχοιεν προσ με
20Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
20η αυτοι ουτοι ειπατωσαν τι ευρον εν εμοι αδικημα σταντοσ μου επι του συνεδριου
21Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
21η περι μιασ ταυτησ φωνησ ησ εκραξα εστωσ εν αυτοισ οτι περι αναστασεωσ νεκρων εγω κρινομαι σημερον υφ υμων
22And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
22ακουσασ δε ταυτα ο φηλιξ ανεβαλετο αυτουσ ακριβεστερον ειδωσ τα περι τησ οδου ειπων οταν λυσιασ ο χιλιαρχοσ καταβη διαγνωσομαι τα καθ υμασ
23And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
23διαταξαμενοσ τε τω εκατονταρχη τηρεισθαι τον παυλον εχειν τε ανεσιν και μηδενα κωλυειν των ιδιων αυτου υπηρετειν η προσερχεσθαι αυτω
24And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
24μετα δε ημερασ τινασ παραγενομενοσ ο φηλιξ συν δρουσιλλη τη γυναικι ουση ιουδαια μετεπεμψατο τον παυλον και ηκουσεν αυτου περι τησ εισ χριστον πιστεωσ
25And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
25διαλεγομενου δε αυτου περι δικαιοσυνησ και εγκρατειασ και του κριματοσ του μελλοντοσ εσεσθαι εμφοβοσ γενομενοσ ο φηλιξ απεκριθη το νυν εχον πορευου καιρον δε μεταλαβων μετακαλεσομαι σε
26He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
26αμα και ελπιζων οτι χρηματα δοθησεται αυτω υπο του παυλου οπωσ λυση αυτον διο και πυκνοτερον αυτον μεταπεμπομενοσ ωμιλει αυτω
27But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
27διετιασ δε πληρωθεισησ ελαβεν διαδοχον ο φηλιξ πορκιον φηστον θελων τε χαριτασ καταθεσθαι τοισ ιουδαιοισ ο φηλιξ κατελιπεν τον παυλον δεδεμενον
