Acts 28
1 And when they had saved themselves, they then learned that the island was called Melita.
και διασωθεντες τοτε επεγνωμεν οτι {VAR1: μελιτηνη } {VAR2: μελιτη } η νησος καλειται
2 And the barbarians showed us no ordinary kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the rain which was falling, and because of the cold.
οι τε βαρβαροι παρειχον ου την τυχουσαν φιλανθρωπιαν ημιν αψαντες γαρ πυραν προσελαβοντο παντας ημας δια τον υετον τον εφεστωτα και δια το ψυχος
3 And when Paul had brought together a heap of brushwood, and laid it on the fire, a viper came out, by reason of the heat, and fastened itself on his hand.
συστρεψαντος δε του παυλου φρυγανων τι πληθος και επιθεντος επι την πυραν εχιδνα απο της θερμης εξελθουσα καθηψεν της χειρος αυτου
4 And when the barbarians saw the reptile hanging from his hand, they said to one another: This man is certainly a murderer, whom, although he has saved himself from the sea, justice does not permit to live.
ως δε ειδον οι βαρβαροι κρεμαμενον το θηριον εκ της χειρος αυτου προς αλληλους ελεγον παντως φονευς εστιν ο ανθρωπος ουτος ον διασωθεντα εκ της θαλασσης η δικη ζην ουκ ειασεν
5 Then he shook the reptile from him into the fire, and suffered no harm.
ο μεν ουν αποτιναξας το θηριον εις το πυρ επαθεν ουδεν κακον
6 But they were expecting that he would become inflamed and swollen, or would suddenly fall down dead; yet, after expecting it for a long time, and seeing no harm befall him, they changed their mind, and said he was a god.
οι δε προσεδοκων αυτον μελλειν πιμπρασθαι η καταπιπτειν αφνω νεκρον επι πολυ δε αυτων προσδοκωντων και θεωρουντων μηδεν ατοπον εις αυτον γινομενον μεταβαλομενοι ελεγον αυτον ειναι θεον
7 Among the estates about that place were those of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius, who took us to his house, and, for three days, entertained us kindly.
εν δε τοις περι τον τοπον εκεινον υπηρχεν χωρια τω πρωτω της νησου ονοματι ποπλιω ος αναδεξαμενος ημας {VAR1: ημερας τρεις } {VAR2: τρεις ημερας } φιλοφρονως εξενισεν
8 And it happened that the father of Publius was lying sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul went in to him, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and restored him to health.
εγενετο δε τον πατερα του ποπλιου πυρετοις και δυσεντεριω συνεχομενον κατακεισθαι προς ον ο παυλος εισελθων και προσευξαμενος επιθεις τας χειρας αυτω ιασατο αυτον
9 Therefore, after this had been clone, the rest also in the island who had diseases, came and were cured.
τουτου δε γενομενου {VAR1: [και] } {VAR2: και } οι λοιποι οι εν τη νησω εχοντες ασθενειας προσηρχοντο και εθεραπευοντο
10 And they also honored us with many honors; and, when we put to sea, they supplied us with such things as we needed.
οι και πολλαις τιμαις ετιμησαν ημας και αναγομενοις επεθεντο τα προς τας χρειας
11 After three months we put to sea in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Dioscuri.
μετα δε τρεις μηνας ανηχθημεν εν πλοιω παρακεχειμακοτι εν τη νησω αλεξανδρινω παρασημω διοσκουροις
12 And we landed at Syracuse, and remained there three days:
και καταχθεντες εις συρακουσας επεμειναμεν ημερας τρεις
13 from which place, by coasting about, we came to Rhegium; and one day afterward, the south wind arose; and we came, on the next day, to Puteoli,
οθεν περιελοντες κατηντησαμεν εις ρηγιον και μετα μιαν ημεραν επιγενομενου νοτου δευτεραιοι ηλθομεν εις ποτιολους
14 where we found brethren, and were persuaded to remain with them seven days. And thus we went toward Home.
ου ευροντες αδελφους παρεκληθημεν παρ αυτοις επιμειναι ημερας επτα και ουτως εις την ρωμην ηλθαμεν
15 And from this place, the brethren, having heard of us, came out as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns, to meet us. When Paul saw the brethren, he thanked God, and took courage.
κακειθεν οι αδελφοι ακουσαντες τα περι ημων ηλθαν εις απαντησιν ημιν αχρις αππιου φορου και τριων ταβερνων ους ιδων ο παυλος ευχαριστησας τω θεω ελαβεν θαρσος
16 When we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself, with a soldier that guarded him.
οτε δε εισηλθομεν εις ρωμην επετραπη τω παυλω μενειν καθ εαυτον συν τω φυλασσοντι αυτον στρατιωτη
17 And it came to pass, after three days, that he called together the chief men of the Jews; and when they had come, he said to them: Brethren, though I have done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
εγενετο δε μετα ημερας τρεις συγκαλεσασθαι αυτον τους οντας των ιουδαιων πρωτους συνελθοντων δε αυτων ελεγεν προς αυτους εγω ανδρες αδελφοι ουδεν εναντιον ποιησας τω λαω η τοις εθεσιν τοις πατρωοις δεσμιος εξ ιεροσολυμων παρεδοθην εις τας χειρας των ρωμαιων
18 They, after examination, would have released me, for they found no cause of death in me.
οιτινες ανακριναντες με εβουλοντο απολυσαι δια το μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου υπαρχειν εν εμοι
19 But because the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Cæsar: not that I have any accusation to bring against my own nation.
αντιλεγοντων δε των ιουδαιων ηναγκασθην επικαλεσασθαι καισαρα ουχ ως του εθνους μου εχων τι κατηγορειν
20 For this reason, I called for you, that I might see you and speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.
δια ταυτην ουν την αιτιαν παρεκαλεσα υμας ιδειν και προσλαλησαι ενεκεν γαρ της ελπιδος του ισραηλ την αλυσιν ταυτην περικειμαι
21 And they said to him: We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor has any one of the brethren come, and reported or spoken any evil of you.
οι δε προς αυτον ειπαν ημεις ουτε γραμματα περι σου εδεξαμεθα απο της ιουδαιας ουτε παραγενομενος τις των αδελφων απηγγειλεν η ελαλησεν τι περι σου πονηρον
22 But we think it right to hear from you what you think: for, as it respects this sect, we know that it is everywhere spoken against.
αξιουμεν δε παρα σου ακουσαι α φρονεις περι μεν γαρ της αιρεσεως ταυτης γνωστον ημιν εστιν οτι πανταχου αντιλεγεται
23 And when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom, from morning till evening; , he earnestly testified, and set forth the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and from the prophets.
ταξαμενοι δε αυτω ημεραν ηλθον προς αυτον εις την ξενιαν πλειονες οις εξετιθετο διαμαρτυρομενος την βασιλειαν του θεου πειθων τε αυτους περι του ιησου απο τε του νομου μωυσεως και των προφητων απο πρωι εως εσπερας
24 And some believed the things that were spoken, and some believed not.
και οι μεν επειθοντο τοις λεγομενοις οι δε ηπιστουν
25 And not agreeing among themselves, they departed, after Paul had spoken one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak to our fathers by Isaiah the prophet,
ασυμφωνοι δε οντες προς αλληλους απελυοντο ειποντος του παυλου ρημα εν οτι καλως το πνευμα το αγιον ελαλησεν δια ησαιου του προφητου προς τους πατερας υμων
26 saying: Go to this people and say, You shall surely hear, but you will not understand; and you shall surely see, but you will not perceive.
λεγων πορευθητι προς τον λαον τουτον και ειπον ακοη ακουσετε και ου μη συνητε και βλεποντες βλεψετε και ου μη ιδητε
27 For the heart of this people has become fat, and with their ears they hear heavily, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I should restore them to health.
επαχυνθη γαρ η καρδια του λαου τουτου και τοις ωσιν βαρεως ηκουσαν και τους οφθαλμους αυτων εκαμμυσαν μηποτε ιδωσιν τοις οφθαλμοις και τοις ωσιν ακουσωσιν και τη καρδια συνωσιν και επιστρεψωσιν και ιασομαι αυτους
28 Therefore, be it known to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.
γνωστον ουν {VAR1: υμιν εστω } {VAR2: εστω υμιν } οτι τοις εθνεσιν απεσταλη τουτο το σωτηριον του θεου αυτοι και ακουσονται
29 And when he had said these things, the Jews departed, and had great disputation among themselves.
30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all that came to him,
ενεμεινεν δε διετιαν ολην εν ιδιω μισθωματι και απεδεχετο παντας τους εισπορευομενους προς αυτον
31 preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all boldness and without hinderance.
κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως
