Acts 24
1 AND after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
μετα δε πεντε ημερασ κατεβη ο αρχιερευσ ανανιασ μετα των πρεσβυτερων και ρητοροσ τερτυλλου τινοσ οιτινεσ ενεφανισαν τω ηγεμονι κατα του παυλου
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
κληθεντοσ δε αυτου ηρξατο κατηγορειν ο τερτυλλοσ λεγων πολλησ ειρηνησ τυγχανοντεσ δια σου και κατορθωματων γινομενων τω εθνει τουτω δια τησ σησ προνοιασ
3 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
παντη τε και πανταχου αποδεχομεθα κρατιστε φηλιξ μετα πασησ ευχαριστιασ
4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
ινα δε μη επι πλειον σε εγκοπτω παρακαλω ακουσαι σε ημων συντομωσ τη ση επιεικεια
5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
ευροντεσ γαρ τον ανδρα τουτον λοιμον και κινουντα στασιν πασιν τοισ ιουδαιοισ τοισ κατα την οικουμενην πρωτοστατην τε τησ των ναζωραιων αιρεσεωσ
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
οσ και το ιερον επειρασεν βεβηλωσαι ον και εκρατησαμεν
7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
παρ ου δυνηση αυτοσ ανακρινασ περι παντων τουτων επιγνωναι ων ημεισ κατηγορουμεν αυτου
9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
συνεπεθεντο δε και οι ιουδαιοι φασκοντεσ ταυτα ουτωσ εχειν
10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
απεκριθη δε ο παυλοσ νευσαντοσ αυτω του ηγεμονοσ λεγειν εκ πολλων ετων οντα σε κριτην τω εθνει τουτω επισταμενοσ ευθυμοτερον τα περι εμαυτου απολογουμαι
11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
δυναμενου σου γνωναι οτι ου πλειουσ εισιν μοι ημεραι δεκαδυο αφ ησ ανεβην προσκυνησων εν ιερουσαλημ
12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
και ουτε εν τω ιερω ευρον με προσ τινα διαλεγομενον η επισυστασιν ποιουντα οχλου ουτε εν ταισ συναγωγαισ ουτε κατα την πολιν
13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
ουτε παραστησαι με δυνανται περι ων νυν κατηγορουσιν μου
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
ομολογω δε τουτο σοι οτι κατα την οδον ην λεγουσιν αιρεσιν ουτωσ λατρευω τω πατρωω θεω πιστευων πασιν τοισ κατα τον νομον και τοισ προφηταισ γεγραμμενοισ
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
ελπιδα εχων εισ τον θεον ην και αυτοι ουτοι προσδεχονται αναστασιν μελλειν εσεσθαι νεκρων δικαιων τε και αδικων
16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
εν τουτω δε αυτοσ ασκω απροσκοπον συνειδησιν εχων προσ τον θεον και τουσ ανθρωπουσ δια παντοσ
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
δι ετων δε πλειονων παρεγενομην ελεημοσυνασ ποιησων εισ το εθνοσ μου και προσφορασ
18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
εν οισ ευρον με ηγνισμενον εν τω ιερω ου μετα οχλου ουδε μετα θορυβου τινεσ απο τησ ασιασ ιουδαιοι
19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
ουσ δει επι σου παρειναι και κατηγορειν ει τι εχοιεν προσ με
20 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
η αυτοι ουτοι ειπατωσαν τι ευρον εν εμοι αδικημα σταντοσ μου επι του συνεδριου
21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
η περι μιασ ταυτησ φωνησ ησ εκραξα εστωσ εν αυτοισ οτι περι αναστασεωσ νεκρων εγω κρινομαι σημερον υφ υμων
22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
ακουσασ δε ταυτα ο φηλιξ ανεβαλετο αυτουσ ακριβεστερον ειδωσ τα περι τησ οδου ειπων οταν λυσιασ ο χιλιαρχοσ καταβη διαγνωσομαι τα καθ υμασ
23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
διαταξαμενοσ τε τω εκατονταρχη τηρεισθαι τον παυλον εχειν τε ανεσιν και μηδενα κωλυειν των ιδιων αυτου υπηρετειν η προσερχεσθαι αυτω
24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
μετα δε ημερασ τινασ παραγενομενοσ ο φηλιξ συν δρουσιλλη τη γυναικι ουση ιουδαια μετεπεμψατο τον παυλον και ηκουσεν αυτου περι τησ εισ χριστον πιστεωσ
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
διαλεγομενου δε αυτου περι δικαιοσυνησ και εγκρατειασ και του κριματοσ του μελλοντοσ εσεσθαι εμφοβοσ γενομενοσ ο φηλιξ απεκριθη το νυν εχον πορευου καιρον δε μεταλαβων μετακαλεσομαι σε
26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
αμα και ελπιζων οτι χρηματα δοθησεται αυτω υπο του παυλου οπωσ λυση αυτον διο και πυκνοτερον αυτον μεταπεμπομενοσ ωμιλει αυτω
27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
διετιασ δε πληρωθεισησ ελαβεν διαδοχον ο φηλιξ πορκιον φηστον θελων τε χαριτασ καταθεσθαι τοισ ιουδαιοισ ο φηλιξ κατελιπεν τον παυλον δεδεμενον
