Acts 16

1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was 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 Which was well reported of by the brothers that were at Lystra and Iconium.

ὃς ἐμαρτυρεῖτο ὑπὸ τῶν ἐν Λύστροις καὶ Ἰκονίῳ ἀδελφῶν.

3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father 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 went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.

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

5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

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

6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach 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 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.

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 they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

παρελθόντες δὲ τὴν Μυσίαν κατέβησαν εἰς Τρῳάδα.

9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come 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 after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel to them.

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

11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day 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 from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding 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 we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spoke to the women which resorted thither.

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 named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended to the things which were spoken of 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 was baptized, and her household, she sought us, saying, If you 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 went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

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 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which show to us 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 did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he 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 when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace to the rulers,

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 brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

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

21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.

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

22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.

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

23 And when they had laid many stripes on 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, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in 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 prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard 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 were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were 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 keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been 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 cried with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm: for we are all here.

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

29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

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

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

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

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your 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, and to 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 their stripes; and was baptized, 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 when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

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 magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.

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

36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go 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, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? no truly; but let them come themselves and fetch 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 sergeants told these words to the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that 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 sought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.

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

40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers, they comforted them, and departed.

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