Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
1μετα δε ταυτα χωρισθεισ ο παυλοσ εκ των αθηνων ηλθεν εισ κορινθον
2He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
2και ευρων τινα ιουδαιον ονοματι ακυλαν ποντικον τω γενει προσφατωσ εληλυθοτα απο τησ ιταλιασ και πρισκιλλαν γυναικα αυτου δια το τεταχεναι κλαυδιον χωριζεσθαι παντασ τουσ ιουδαιουσ εκ τησ ρωμησ προσηλθεν αυτοισ
3and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
3και δια το ομοτεχνον ειναι εμενεν παρ αυτοισ και ειργαζετο ησαν γαρ σκηνοποιοι την τεχνην
4He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
4διελεγετο δε εν τη συναγωγη κατα παν σαββατον επειθεν τε ιουδαιουσ και ελληνασ
5When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
5ωσ δε κατηλθον απο τησ μακεδονιασ ο τε σιλασ και ο τιμοθεοσ συνειχετο τω πνευματι ο παυλοσ διαμαρτυρομενοσ τοισ ιουδαιοισ τον χριστον ιησουν
6When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”
6αντιτασσομενων δε αυτων και βλασφημουντων εκτιναξαμενοσ τα ιματια ειπεν προσ αυτουσ το αιμα υμων επι την κεφαλην υμων καθαροσ εγω απο του νυν εισ τα εθνη πορευσομαι
7He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
7και μεταβασ εκειθεν ηλθεν εισ οικιαν τινοσ ονοματι ιουστου σεβομενου τον θεον ου η οικια ην συνομορουσα τη συναγωγη
8Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
8κρισποσ δε ο αρχισυναγωγοσ επιστευσεν τω κυριω συν ολω τω οικω αυτου και πολλοι των κορινθιων ακουοντεσ επιστευον και εβαπτιζοντο
9The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
9ειπεν δε ο κυριοσ δι οραματοσ εν νυκτι τω παυλω μη φοβου αλλα λαλει και μη σιωπησησ
10for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
10διοτι εγω ειμι μετα σου και ουδεισ επιθησεται σοι του κακωσαι σε διοτι λαοσ εστιν μοι πολυσ εν τη πολει ταυτη
11He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
11εκαθισεν τε ενιαυτον και μηνασ εξ διδασκων εν αυτοισ τον λογον του θεου
12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
12γαλλιωνοσ δε ανθυπατευοντοσ τησ αχαιασ κατεπεστησαν ομοθυμαδον οι ιουδαιοι τω παυλω και ηγαγον αυτον επι το βημα
13saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
13λεγοντεσ οτι παρα τον νομον ουτοσ αναπειθει τουσ ανθρωπουσ σεβεσθαι τον θεον
14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
14μελλοντοσ δε του παυλου ανοιγειν το στομα ειπεν ο γαλλιων προσ τουσ ιουδαιουσ ει μεν ουν ην αδικημα τι η ραδιουργημα πονηρον ω ιουδαιοι κατα λογον αν ηνεσχομην υμων
15but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
15ει δε ζητημα εστιν περι λογου και ονοματων και νομου του καθ υμασ οψεσθε αυτοι κριτησ γαρ εγω τουτων ου βουλομαι ειναι
16So he drove them from the judgment seat.
16και απηλασεν αυτουσ απο του βηματοσ
17Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
17επιλαβομενοι δε παντεσ οι ελληνεσ σωσθενην τον αρχισυναγωγον ετυπτον εμπροσθεν του βηματοσ και ουδεν τουτων τω γαλλιωνι εμελλεν
18Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
18ο δε παυλοσ ετι προσμεινασ ημερασ ικανασ τοισ αδελφοισ αποταξαμενοσ εξεπλει εισ την συριαν και συν αυτω πρισκιλλα και ακυλασ κειραμενοσ την κεφαλην εν κεγχρεαισ ειχεν γαρ ευχην
19He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
19κατηντησεν δε εισ εφεσον και εκεινουσ κατελιπεν αυτου αυτοσ δε εισελθων εισ την συναγωγην διελεχθη τοισ ιουδαιοισ
20When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
20ερωτωντων δε αυτων επι πλειονα χρονον μειναι παρ αυτοισ ουκ επενευσεν
21but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
21αλλ απεταξατο αυτοισ ειπων δει με παντωσ την εορτην την ερχομενην ποιησαι εισ ιεροσολυμα παλιν δε ανακαμψω προσ υμασ του θεου θελοντοσ ανηχθη απο τησ εφεσου
22When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
22και κατελθων εισ καισαρειαν αναβασ και ασπασαμενοσ την εκκλησιαν κατεβη εισ αντιοχειαν
23Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
23και ποιησασ χρονον τινα εξηλθεν διερχομενοσ καθεξησ την γαλατικην χωραν και φρυγιαν επιστηριζων παντασ τουσ μαθητασ
24Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
24ιουδαιοσ δε τισ απολλωσ ονοματι αλεξανδρευσ τω γενει ανηρ λογιοσ κατηντησεν εισ εφεσον δυνατοσ ων εν ταισ γραφαισ
25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
25ουτοσ ην κατηχημενοσ την οδον του κυριου και ζεων τω πνευματι ελαλει και εδιδασκεν ακριβωσ τα περι του κυριου επισταμενοσ μονον το βαπτισμα ιωαννου
26He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
26ουτοσ τε ηρξατο παρρησιαζεσθαι εν τη συναγωγη ακουσαντεσ δε αυτου ακυλασ και πρισκιλλα προσελαβοντο αυτον και ακριβεστερον αυτω εξεθεντο την του θεου οδον
27When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
27βουλομενου δε αυτου διελθειν εισ την αχαιαν προτρεψαμενοι οι αδελφοι εγραψαν τοισ μαθηταισ αποδεξασθαι αυτον οσ παραγενομενοσ συνεβαλετο πολυ τοισ πεπιστευκοσιν δια τησ χαριτοσ
28for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
28ευτονωσ γαρ τοισ ιουδαιοισ διακατηλεγχετο δημοσια επιδεικνυσ δια των γραφων ειναι τον χριστον ιησουν
