< Acts 14 >
1 In Iconium the same thing happened. Paul and Barnabas went to the Jewish synagogue and spoke so convincingly that many of both the Jewish and Greek-speaking worshipers trusted in Jesus.
εγενετο δε εν ικονιω κατα το αυτο εισελθειν αυτουσ εισ την συναγωγην των ιουδαιων και λαλησαι ουτωσ ωστε πιστευσαι ιουδαιων τε και ελληνων πολυ πληθοσ
2 But the Jews that refused to believe in Jesus stirred up the feelings of the foreigners, and poisoned them against the believers.
οι δε απειθουντεσ ιουδαιοι επηγειραν και εκακωσαν τασ ψυχασ των εθνων κατα των αδελφων
3 Paul and Barnabas stayed there a long time, speaking to them boldly in the Lord, who confirmed their message of grace through the miraculous signs that they were enabled to perform.
ικανον μεν ουν χρονον διετριψαν παρρησιαζομενοι επι τω κυριω τω μαρτυρουντι τω λογω τησ χαριτοσ αυτου διδοντι σημεια και τερατα γινεσθαι δια των χειρων αυτων
4 The inhabitants of the town were divided, with some supporting the Jews and some the apostles.
εσχισθη δε το πληθοσ τησ πολεωσ και οι μεν ησαν συν τοισ ιουδαιοισ οι δε συν τοισ αποστολοισ
5 But then the foreigners and the Jews, together with their leaders, decided to attack and stone Paul and Barnabas.
ωσ δε εγενετο ορμη των εθνων τε και ιουδαιων συν τοισ αρχουσιν αυτων υβρισαι και λιθοβολησαι αυτουσ
6 However, they found out about it and fled to the region of Lycaonia, to the towns of Lystra and Derbe,
συνιδοντεσ κατεφυγον εισ τασ πολεισ τησ λυκαονιασ λυστραν και δερβην και την περιχωρον
7 where they continued to share the good news.
κακει ησαν ευαγγελιζομενοι
8 In the town of Lystra there was a disabled man who was lame in both feet. He had been crippled from birth and had never been able to walk.
και τισ ανηρ εν λυστροισ αδυνατοσ τοισ ποσιν εκαθητο χωλοσ εκ κοιλιασ μητροσ αυτου υπαρχων οσ ουδεποτε περιπεπατηκει
9 He sat there listening to Paul speaking. When Paul looked directly at him, and realized that the man was trusting in God to heal him,
ουτοσ ηκουσεν του παυλου λαλουντοσ οσ ατενισασ αυτω και ιδων οτι πιστιν εχει του σωθηναι
10 Paul said in a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet!” The man jumped to his feet and started walking.
ειπεν μεγαλη τη φωνη αναστηθι επι τουσ ποδασ σου ορθωσ και ηλλετο και περιεπατει
11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted out in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us looking like men!”
οι δε οχλοι ιδοντεσ ο εποιησεν ο παυλοσ επηραν την φωνην αυτων λυκαονιστι λεγοντεσ οι θεοι ομοιωθεντεσ ανθρωποισ κατεβησαν προσ ημασ
12 They identified Barnabas as the Greek god Zeus, and Paul as the god Hermes because he was one who did most of the talking.
εκαλουν τε τον μεν βαρναβαν δια τον δε παυλον ερμην επειδη αυτοσ ην ο ηγουμενοσ του λογου
13 The priest of the temple of Zeus that lay just outside the town, brought oxen and wreaths to the town gates. He planned to carry out a sacrifice in front of the crowds.
ο δε ιερευσ του διοσ του οντοσ προ τησ πολεωσ αυτων ταυρουσ και στεμματα επι τουσ πυλωνασ ενεγκασ συν τοισ οχλοισ ηθελεν θυειν
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul learned what was happening, they tore their clothes, and rushed into the crowds, shouting out,
ακουσαντεσ δε οι αποστολοι βαρναβασ και παυλοσ διαρρηξαντεσ τα ιματια αυτων εισεπηδησαν εισ τον οχλον κραζοντεσ
15 “People, what are you doing? We are human beings with the same kind of nature as you. We came to bring you good news, so you could turn from these pointless things to a God who is truly alive. He is the one who made heaven, earth, and sea, and everything in them.
και λεγοντεσ ανδρεσ τι ταυτα ποιειτε και ημεισ ομοιοπαθεισ εσμεν υμιν ανθρωποι ευαγγελιζομενοι υμασ απο τουτων των ματαιων επιστρεφειν επι τον θεον τον ζωντα οσ εποιησεν τον ουρανον και την γην και την θαλασσαν και παντα τα εν αυτοισ
16 In past times he allowed all the nations to follow their own ways.
οσ εν ταισ παρωχημεναισ γενεαισ ειασεν παντα τα εθνη πορευεσθαι ταισ οδοισ αυτων
17 Even so he still provided evidence of himself by doing good, sending you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons, providing all the food you need, and filling you with happiness.”
καιτοιγε ουκ αμαρτυρον εαυτον αφηκεν αγαθοποιων ουρανοθεν υμιν υετουσ διδουσ και καιρουσ καρποφορουσ εμπιπλων τροφησ και ευφροσυνησ τασ καρδιασ ημων
18 With these words they barely managed to stop the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.
και ταυτα λεγοντεσ μολισ κατεπαυσαν τουσ οχλουσ του μη θυειν αυτοισ
19 But then some Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul, and dragged him outside the town, thinking he was dead.
επηλθον δε απο αντιοχειασ και ικονιου ιουδαιοι και πεισαντεσ τουσ οχλουσ και λιθασαντεσ τον παυλον εσυρον εξω τησ πολεωσ νομισαντεσ αυτον τεθναναι
20 But when the believers gathered around him, he got up, and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
κυκλωσαντων δε αυτον των μαθητων αναστασ εισηλθεν εισ την πολιν και τη επαυριον εξηλθεν συν τω βαρναβα εισ δερβην
21 After sharing the good news with the people in that town, and after many had become believers, they went back to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.
ευαγγελισαμενοι τε την πολιν εκεινην και μαθητευσαντεσ ικανουσ υπεστρεψαν εισ την λυστραν και ικονιον και αντιοχειαν
22 They encouraged the believers to remain firm and to continue to trust in Jesus. “We have to go through many trials to enter God's kingdom,” they said.
επιστηριζοντεσ τασ ψυχασ των μαθητων παρακαλουντεσ εμμενειν τη πιστει και οτι δια πολλων θλιψεων δει ημασ εισελθειν εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου
23 After they had appointed elders for every church, and had prayed and fasted with them, Paul and Barnabas left them in the Lord's care, the one that they trusted in.
χειροτονησαντεσ δε αυτοισ πρεσβυτερουσ κατ εκκλησιαν προσευξαμενοι μετα νηστειων παρεθεντο αυτουσ τω κυριω εισ ον πεπιστευκεισαν
24 They passed through Pisidia, and arrived in Pamphylia.
και διελθοντεσ την πισιδιαν ηλθον εισ παμφυλιαν
25 They spoke God's word in Perga, and then went on to Attalia.
και λαλησαντεσ εν περγη τον λογον κατεβησαν εισ ατταλειαν
26 From there they sailed back to Antioch where they had started out, having been dedicated there in God's grace to the work they had now accomplished.
κακειθεν απεπλευσαν εισ αντιοχειαν οθεν ησαν παραδεδομενοι τη χαριτι του θεου εισ το εργον ο επληρωσαν
27 When they arrived, they called the church together. They reported everything God had done through them, and how he had opened a door for the foreigners to trust in him.
παραγενομενοι δε και συναγαγοντεσ την εκκλησιαν ανηγγειλαν οσα εποιησεν ο θεοσ μετ αυτων και οτι ηνοιξεν τοισ εθνεσιν θυραν πιστεωσ
28 They stayed there with the believers for a long time.
διετριβον δε εκει χρονον ουκ ολιγον συν τοισ μαθηταισ
