Acts 16

1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a Jewish believing woman, but [the] father a Greek,

Κατήντησεν δὲ (καὶ *no*) εἰς Δέρβην καὶ (εἰς *no*) Λύστραν. καὶ ἰδοὺ μαθητής τις ἦν ἐκεῖ, ὀνόματι Τιμόθεος, υἱὸς γυναικὸς (τινος *k*) Ἰουδαίας πιστῆς, πατρὸς δὲ Ἕλληνος·

2 who had a [good] testimony of the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.

ὃς ἐμαρτυρεῖτο ὑπὸ τῶν ἐν Λύστροις καὶ Ἰκονίῳ ἀδελφῶν.

3 Him would Paul have go forth with him, and took [him and] circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew his father that he was a Greek.

τοῦτον ἠθέλησεν ὁ Παῦλος σὺν αὐτῷ ἐξελθεῖν, καὶ λαβὼν περιέτεμεν αὐτὸν διὰ τοὺς Ἰουδαίους τοὺς ὄντας ἐν τοῖς τόποις ἐκείνοις· ᾔδεισαν γὰρ ἅπαντες ὅτι Ἕλλην (ὁ πατὴρ *N(k)O*) αὐτοῦ ὑπῆρχεν.

4 And as they passed through the cities they instructed them to observe the decrees determined on by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.

ὡς δὲ διεπορεύοντο τὰς πόλεις, παρεδίδοσαν αὐτοῖς φυλάσσειν τὰ δόγματα τὰ κεκριμένα ὑπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ (τῶν *k*) πρεσβυτέρων τῶν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις.

5 The assemblies therefore were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number every day.

Αἱ μὲν οὖν ἐκκλησίαι ἐστερεοῦντο τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐπερίσσευον τῷ ἀριθμῷ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν.

6 And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian country, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

(διῆλθον *N(k)O*) δὲ τὴν Φρυγίαν καὶ (τὴν *k*) Γαλατικὴν χώραν κωλυθέντες ὑπὸ τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος λαλῆσαι τὸν λόγον ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ,

7 having come down to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;

ἐλθόντες (δὲ *no*) κατὰ τὴν Μυσίαν ἐπείραζον (εἰς *N(k)O*) τὴν Βιθυνίαν (πορευθῆναι, *N(k)O*) καὶ οὐκ εἴασεν αὐτοὺς τὸ πνεῦμα (Ἰησοῦ. *NO*)

8 and having passed by Mysia they descended to Troas.

παρελθόντες δὲ τὴν Μυσίαν κατέβησαν εἰς Τρῳάδα.

9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a certain Macedonian man, standing and beseeching him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia and help us.

καὶ ὅραμα διὰ τῆς νυκτὸς τῷ Παύλῳ ὤφθη· ἀνὴρ Μακεδών τις ἦν ἑστὼς (καὶ *no*) παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων· διαβὰς εἰς Μακεδονίαν βοήθησον ἡμῖν.

10 And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to announce to them the glad tidings.

ὡς δὲ τὸ ὅραμα εἶδεν, εὐθέως ἐζητήσαμεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς (τὴν *k*) Μακεδονίαν συμβιβάζοντες ὅτι προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς ὁ (θεὸς *N(K)O*) εὐαγγελίσασθαι αὐτούς.

11 Having sailed therefore away from Troas, we went in a straight course to Samothracia, and on the morrow to Neapolis,

Ἀναχθέντες (δὲ *N(K)O*) ἀπὸ (τῆς *k*) Τρῳάδος εὐθυδρομήσαμεν εἰς Σαμοθρᾴκην, τῇ (δὲ *N(k)O*) ἐπιούσῃ εἰς Νέαν πόλιν,

12 and thence to Philippi, which is [the] first city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city certain days.

(κἀκεῖθεν κἀκεῖθεν *N(k)O*) εἰς Φιλίππους, ἥτις ἐστὶν (πρώτης *N(k)O*) (τῆς *ko*) μερίδος (τῆς *NK*) Μακεδονίας πόλις, κολωνία. ἦμεν δὲ ἐν (ταύτῃ *NK(o)*) τῇ πόλει διατρίβοντες ἡμέρας τινάς.

13 And on the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where it was the custom for prayer to be, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled.

τῇ τε ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἐξήλθομεν ἔξω τῆς (πύλης *N(K)O*) παρὰ ποταμὸν οὗ (ἐνομίζομεν *N(K)O*) (προσευχὴν *N(k)O*) εἶναι, καὶ καθίσαντες ἐλαλοῦμεν ταῖς συνελθούσαις γυναιξίν.

14 And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul.

Καί τις γυνὴ ὀνόματι Λυδία, πορφυρόπωλις πόλεως Θυατείρων σεβομένη τὸν θεόν, ἤκουεν ἧς ὁ κύριος διήνοιξεν τὴν καρδίαν προσέχειν τοῖς λαλουμένοις ὑπὸ τοῦ Παύλου.

15 And when she had been baptised and her house, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide [there]. And she constrained us.

ὡς δὲ ἐβαπτίσθη καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς, παρεκάλεσεν λέγουσα· εἰ κεκρίκατέ με πιστὴν τῷ κυρίῳ εἶναι, εἰσελθόντες εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου (μένετε· *N(k)O*) καὶ παρεβιάσατο ἡμᾶς.

16 And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying.

Ἐγένετο δὲ πορευομένων ἡμῶν εἰς (τὴν *no*) προσευχήν, παιδίσκην τινὰ ἔχουσαν πνεῦμα (πύθωνα ὑπαντῆσαι *N(k)O*) ἡμῖν, ἥτις ἐργασίαν πολλὴν παρεῖχεν τοῖς κυρίοις αὐτῆς μαντευομένη.

17 She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you [the] way of salvation.

αὕτη (κατακολουθοῦσα *N(k)O*) τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ ἡμῖν ἔκραζεν λέγουσα· οὗτοι οἱ ἄνθρωποι δοῦλοι τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου εἰσίν, οἵτινες καταγγέλλουσιν (ὑμῖν *N(K)O*) ὁδὸν σωτηρίας.

18 And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.

τοῦτο δὲ ἐποίει ἐπὶ πολλὰς ἡμέρας. διαπονηθεὶς δὲ (ὁ *k*) Παῦλος καὶ ἐπιστρέψας τῷ πνεύματι εἶπεν· παραγγέλλω σοι ἐν (τῷ *k*) ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐξελθεῖν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ.

19 And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates;

ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ κύριοι αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς ἐργασίας αὐτῶν, ἐπιλαβόμενοι τὸν Παῦλον καὶ τὸν Σιλᾶν εἵλκυσαν εἰς τὴν ἀγορὰν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας,

20 and having brought them up to the praetors, said, These men utterly trouble our city, being Jews,

καὶ προσαγαγόντες αὐτοὺς τοῖς στρατηγοῖς εἶπαν· οὗτοι οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἐκταράσσουσιν ἡμῶν τὴν πόλιν Ἰουδαῖοι ὑπάρχοντες·

21 and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans.

καὶ καταγγέλλουσιν ἔθη ἃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν ἡμῖν παραδέχεσθαι οὐδὲ ποιεῖν Ῥωμαίοις οὖσιν.

22 And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge [them].

καὶ συνεπέστη ὁ ὄχλος κατ᾽ αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ στρατηγοὶ περιρήξαντες αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐκέλευον ῥαβδίζειν·

23 And having laid many stripes upon them they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely;

πολλάς (τε *NK(o)*) ἐπιθέντες αὐτοῖς πληγὰς ἔβαλον εἰς φυλακὴν παραγγείλαντες τῷ δεσμοφύλακι ἀσφαλῶς τηρεῖν αὐτούς·

24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.

ὃς παραγγελίαν τοιαύτην (λαβὼν *N(k)O*) ἔβαλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἐσωτέραν φυλακὴν καὶ τοὺς πόδας ἠσφαλίσατο αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ ξύλον.

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.

Κατὰ δὲ τὸ μεσονύκτιον Παῦλος καὶ Σιλᾶς προσευχόμενοι ὕμνουν τὸν θεόν· ἐπηκροῶντο δὲ αὐτῶν οἱ δέσμιοι.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.

ἄφνω δὲ σεισμὸς ἐγένετο μέγας ὥστε σαλευθῆναι τὰ θεμέλια τοῦ δεσμωτηρίου· ἠνεῴχθησαν (δὲ *N(k)O*) παραχρῆμα αἱ θύραι πᾶσαι, καὶ πάντων τὰ δεσμὰ ἀνέθη.

27 And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.

ἔξυπνος δὲ γενόμενος ὁ δεσμοφύλαξ καὶ ἰδὼν ἀνεῳγμένας τὰς θύρας τῆς φυλακῆς, σπασάμενος (τὴν *no*) μάχαιραν ἤμελλεν ἑαυτὸν ἀναιρεῖν νομίζων ἐκπεφευγέναι τοὺς δεσμίους.

28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.

Ἐφώνησεν δὲ μεγάλῃ φωνῇ ὁ Παῦλος λέγων· μηδὲν πράξῃς σεαυτῷ κακόν· ἅπαντες γάρ ἐσμεν ἐνθάδε.

29 And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.

αἰτήσας δὲ φῶτα εἰσεπήδησεν καὶ ἔντρομος γενόμενος προσέπεσεν τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Σιλᾷ,

30 And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?

καὶ προαγαγὼν αὐτοὺς ἔξω ἔφη· κύριοι, τί με δεῖ ποιεῖν ἵνα σωθῶ;

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· πίστευσον ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν (Χριστόν, *K*) καὶ σωθήσῃ σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου.

32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.

καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῷ τὸν λόγον τοῦ (κυρίου *NK(O)*) (σὺν *N(k)O*) πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway.

καὶ παραλαβὼν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ τῆς νυκτὸς ἔλουσεν ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν, καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ αὐτοῦ (πάντες *NK(o)*) παραχρῆμα.

34 And having brought them into his house he laid the table [for them], and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.

ἀναγαγών τε αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον (αὐτοῦ *ko*) παρέθηκεν τράπεζαν καὶ (ἠγαλλιάσατο *NK(o)*) πανοικεὶ πεπιστευκὼς τῷ θεῷ.

35 And when it was day, the praetors sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go.

Ἡμέρας δὲ γενομένης ἀπέστειλαν οἱ στρατηγοὶ τοὺς ῥαβδούχους λέγοντες· ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐκείνους.

36 And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The praetors have sent that ye may be let go. Now therefore go out and depart in peace.

ἀπήγγειλεν δὲ ὁ δεσμοφύλαξ τοὺς λόγους τούτους πρὸς τὸν Παῦλον ὅτι ἀπέσταλκαν οἱ στρατηγοὶ ἵνα ἀπολυθῆτε· νῦν οὖν ἐξελθόντες πορεύεσθε ἐν εἰρήνῃ.

37 But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, us who are Romans, they have cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out secretly? no, indeed, but let them come themselves and bring us out.

Ὁ δὲ Παῦλος ἔφη πρὸς αὐτούς· δείραντες ἡμᾶς δημοσίᾳ ἀκατακρίτους, ἀνθρώπους Ῥωμαίους ὑπάρχοντας, ἔβαλαν εἰς φυλακήν, καὶ νῦν λάθρᾳ ἡμᾶς ἐκβάλλουσιν; οὐ γάρ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐλθόντες αὐτοὶ ἡμᾶς ἐξαγαγέτωσαν.

38 And the lictors reported these words to the praetors. And they were afraid when they heard they were Romans.

(ἀπήγγειλαν *N(k)O*) δὲ τοῖς στρατηγοῖς οἱ ῥαβδοῦχοι τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα· (καὶ *k*) ἐφοβήθησαν (δὲ *no*) ἀκούσαντες ὅτι Ῥωμαῖοί εἰσιν,

39 And they came and besought them, and having brought them out, asked them to go out of the city.

καὶ ἐλθόντες παρεκάλεσαν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐξαγαγόντες ἠρώτων (ἀπελθεῖν *N(k)O*) (ἀπὸ *no*) τῆς πόλεως.

40 And having gone out of the prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they exhorted them and went away.

Ἐξελθόντες δὲ (ἀπὸ *N(k)O*) τῆς φυλακῆς εἰσῆλθον (πρὸς *N(k)O*) τὴν Λυδίαν· καὶ ἰδόντες παρεκάλεσαν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς (αὐτούς *k*) καὶ ἐξῆλθαν.
