Acts 28
1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
και διασωθεντεσ τοτε επεγνωσαν οτι μελιτη η νησοσ καλειται
2 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
οι δε βαρβαροι παρειχον ου την τυχουσαν φιλανθρωπιαν ημιν αναψαντεσ γαρ πυραν προσελαβοντο παντασ ημασ δια τον υετον τον εφεστωτα και δια το ψυχοσ
3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
συστρεψαντοσ δε του παυλου φρυγανων πληθοσ και επιθεντοσ επι την πυραν εχιδνα εκ τησ θερμησ διεξελθουσα καθηψεν τησ χειροσ αυτου
4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffers not to live.
ωσ δε ειδον οι βαρβαροι κρεμαμενον το θηριον εκ τησ χειροσ αυτου ελεγον προσ αλληλουσ παντωσ φονευσ εστιν ο ανθρωποσ ουτοσ ον διασωθεντα εκ τησ θαλασσησ η δικη ζην ουκ ειασεν
5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
ο μεν ουν αποτιναξασ το θηριον εισ το πυρ επαθεν ουδεν κακον
6 However, they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that 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 μεταβαλλομενοι ελεγον θεον αυτον ειναι
7 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
εν δε τοισ περι τον τοπον εκεινον υπηρχεν χωρια τω πρωτω τησ νησου ονοματι ποπλιω οσ αναδεξαμενοσ ημασ τρεισ ημερασ φιλοφρονωσ εξενισεν
8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
εγενετο δε τον πατερα του ποπλιου πυρετοισ και δυσεντερια συνεχομενον κατακεισθαι προσ ον ο παυλοσ εισελθων και προσευξαμενοσ επιθεισ τασ χειρασ αυτω ιασατο αυτον
9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
τουτου ουν γενομενου και οι λοιποι οι εχοντεσ ασθενειασ εν τη νησω προσηρχοντο και εθεραπευοντο
10 Who also honored us with many honors; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
οι και πολλαισ τιμαισ ετιμησαν ημασ και αναγομενοισ επεθεντο τα προσ την χρειαν
11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
μετα δε τρεισ μηνασ ηχθημεν εν πλοιω παρακεχειμακοτι εν τη νησω αλεξανδρινω παρασημω διοσκουροισ
12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
και καταχθεντεσ εισ συρακουσασ επεμειναμεν ημερασ τρεισ
13 And from there we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
οθεν περιελθοντεσ κατηντησαμεν εισ ρηγιον και μετα μιαν ημεραν επιγενομενου νοτου δευτεραιοι ηλθομεν εισ ποτιολουσ
14 Where we found brothers, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
ου ευροντεσ αδελφουσ παρεκληθημεν επ αυτοισ επιμειναι ημερασ επτα και ουτωσ εισ την ρωμην ηλθομεν
15 And from there, when the brothers heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
κακειθεν οι αδελφοι ακουσαντεσ τα περι ημων εξηλθον εισ απαντησιν ημιν αχρι αππιου φορου και τριων ταβερνων ουσ ιδων ο παυλοσ ευχαριστησασ τω θεω ελαβεν θαρσοσ
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
οτε δε ηλθομεν εισ ρωμην ο εκατονταρχοσ παρεδωκεν τουσ δεσμιουσ τω στρατοπεδαρχη τω δε παυλω επετραπη μενειν καθ εαυτον συν τω φυλασσοντι αυτον στρατιωτη
17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said to them, Men and brothers, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
εγενετο δε μετα ημερασ τρεισ συγκαλεσασθαι τον παυλον τουσ οντασ των ιουδαιων πρωτουσ συνελθοντων δε αυτων ελεγεν προσ αυτουσ ανδρεσ αδελφοι εγω ουδεν εναντιον ποιησασ τω λαω η τοισ εθεσιν τοισ πατρωοισ δεσμιοσ εξ ιεροσολυμων παρεδοθην εισ τασ χειρασ των ρωμαιων
18 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
οιτινεσ ανακριναντεσ με εβουλοντο απολυσαι δια το μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου υπαρχειν εν εμοι
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar; not that I had something to accuse my nation of.
αντιλεγοντων δε των ιουδαιων ηναγκασθην επικαλεσασθαι καισαρα ουχ ωσ του εθνουσ μου εχων τι κατηγορησαι
20 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for 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 neither received letters out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the brothers that came showed or spoke any harm of you.
οι δε προσ αυτον ειπον ημεισ ουτε γραμματα περι σου εδεξαμεθα απο τησ ιουδαιασ ουτε παραγενομενοσ τισ των αδελφων απηγγειλεν η ελαλησεν τι περι σου πονηρον
22 But we desire to hear of you what you think: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
αξιουμεν δε παρα σου ακουσαι α φρονεισ περι μεν γαρ τησ αιρεσεωσ ταυτησ γνωστον εστιν ημιν οτι πανταχου αντιλεγεται
23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
ταξαμενοι δε αυτω ημεραν ηκον προσ αυτον εισ την ξενιαν πλειονεσ οισ εξετιθετο διαμαρτυρομενοσ την βασιλειαν του θεου πειθων τε αυτουσ τα περι του ιησου απο τε του νομου μωυσεωσ και των προφητων απο πρωι εωσ εσπερασ
24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
και οι μεν επειθοντο τοισ λεγομενοισ οι δε ηπιστουν
25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Ghost by Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
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 ημων
26 Saying, Go to this people, and say, Hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and not perceive:
λεγον 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 is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
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 Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
γνωστον ουν εστω υμιν οτι τοισ εθνεσιν απεσταλη το σωτηριον του θεου αυτοι και ακουσονται
29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
και ταυτα αυτου ειποντοσ απηλθον οι ιουδαιοι πολλην εχοντεσ εν εαυτοισ συζητησιν
30 And Paul dwelled two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in to him,
εμεινεν δε ο παυλοσ διετιαν ολην εν ιδιω μισθωματι και απεδεχετο παντασ τουσ εισπορευομενουσ προσ αυτον
31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασησ παρρησιασ ακωλυτωσ
