Acts 21
1 When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
ωσ δε εγενετο αναχθηναι ημασ αποσπασθεντασ απ αυτων ευθυδρομησαντεσ ηλθομεν εισ την κων τη δε εξησ εισ την ροδον κακειθεν εισ παταρα
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
και ευροντεσ πλοιον διαπερων εισ φοινικην επιβαντεσ ανηχθημεν
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
αναφανεντεσ δε την κυπρον και καταλιποντεσ αυτην ευωνυμον επλεομεν εισ συριαν και κατηχθημεν εισ τυρον εκεισε γαρ ην το πλοιον αποφορτιζομενον τον γομον
4 Having found the disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
και ανευροντεσ μαθητασ επεμειναμεν αυτου ημερασ επτα οιτινεσ τω παυλω ελεγον δια του πνευματοσ μη αναβαινειν εισ ιερουσαλημ
5 When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. And after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
οτε δε εγενετο ημασ εξαρτισαι τασ ημερασ εξελθοντεσ επορευομεθα προπεμποντων ημασ παντων συν γυναιξιν και τεκνοισ εωσ εξω τησ πολεωσ και θεντεσ τα γονατα επι τον αιγιαλον προσηυξαμεθα
6 we said farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.
και ασπασαμενοι αλληλουσ επεβημεν εισ το πλοιον εκεινοι δε υπεστρεψαν εισ τα ιδια
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
ημεισ δε τον πλουν διανυσαντεσ απο τυρου κατηντησαμεν εισ πτολεμαιδα και ασπασαμενοι τουσ αδελφουσ εμειναμεν ημεραν μιαν παρ αυτοισ
8 On the next day, we departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
τη δε επαυριον εξελθοντεσ οι περι τον παυλον ηλθον εισ καισαρειαν και εισελθοντεσ εισ τον οικον φιλιππου του ευαγγελιστου οντοσ εκ των επτα εμειναμεν παρ αυτω
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
τουτω δε ησαν θυγατερεσ παρθενοι τεσσαρεσ προφητευουσαι
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
επιμενοντων δε ημων ημερασ πλειουσ κατηλθεν τισ απο τησ ιουδαιασ προφητησ ονοματι αγαβοσ
11 Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit: 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of non-Jewish people.'"
και ελθων προσ ημασ και αρασ την ζωνην του παυλου δησασ τε αυτου τουσ ποδασ και τασ χειρασ ειπεν ταδε λεγει το πνευμα το αγιον τον ανδρα ου εστιν η ζωνη αυτη ουτωσ δησουσιν εν ιερουσαλημ οι ιουδαιοι και παραδωσουσιν εισ χειρασ εθνων
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
ωσ δε ηκουσαμεν ταυτα παρεκαλουμεν ημεισ τε και οι εντοπιοι του μη αναβαινειν αυτον εισ ιερουσαλημ
13 Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
απεκριθη τε ο παυλοσ τι ποιειτε κλαιοντεσ και συνθρυπτοντεσ μου την καρδιαν εγω γαρ ου μονον δεθηναι αλλα και αποθανειν εισ ιερουσαλημ ετοιμωσ εχω υπερ του ονοματοσ του κυριου ιησου
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
μη πειθομενου δε αυτου ησυχασαμεν ειποντεσ το θελημα του κυριου γενεσθω
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
μετα δε τασ ημερασ ταυτασ επισκευασαμενοι ανεβαινομεν εισ ιερουσαλημ
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
συνηλθον δε και των μαθητων απο καισαρειασ συν ημιν αγοντεσ παρ ω ξενισθωμεν μνασωνι τινι κυπριω αρχαιω μαθητη
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
γενομενων δε ημων εισ ιεροσολυμα ασμενωσ εδεξαντο ημασ οι αδελφοι
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
τη δε επιουση εισηει ο παυλοσ συν ημιν προσ ιακωβον παντεσ τε παρεγενοντο οι πρεσβυτεροι
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the non-Jewish people through his ministry.
και ασπασαμενοσ αυτουσ εξηγειτο καθ εν εκαστον ων εποιησεν ο θεοσ εν τοισ εθνεσιν δια τησ διακονιασ αυτου
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law.
οι δε ακουσαντεσ εδοξαζον τον κυριον ειποντεσ αυτω θεωρεισ αδελφε ποσαι μυριαδεσ εισιν ιουδαιων των πεπιστευκοτων και παντεσ ζηλωται του νομου υπαρχουσιν
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the non-Jews to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.
κατηχηθησαν δε περι σου οτι αποστασιαν διδασκεισ απο μωυσεωσ τουσ κατα τα εθνη παντασ ιουδαιουσ λεγων μη περιτεμνειν αυτουσ τα τεκνα μηδε τοισ εθεσιν περιπατειν
22 What then? The multitude must certainly meet. They will hear that you have come.
τι ουν εστιν παντωσ δει πληθοσ συνελθειν ακουσονται γαρ οτι εληλυθασ
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
τουτο ουν ποιησον ο σοι λεγομεν εισιν ημιν ανδρεσ τεσσαρεσ ευχην εχοντεσ εφ εαυτων
24 Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Law.
τουτουσ παραλαβων αγνισθητι συν αυτοισ και δαπανησον επ αυτοισ ινα ξυρησωνται την κεφαλην και γνωσιν παντεσ οτι ων κατηχηνται περι σου ουδεν εστιν αλλα στοιχεισ και αυτοσ τον νομον φυλασσων
25 But concerning the non-Jewish who believe, we have written our decision that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality."
περι δε των πεπιστευκοτων εθνων ημεισ επεστειλαμεν κριναντεσ μηδεν τοιουτον τηρειν αυτουσ ει μη φυλασσεσθαι αυτουσ το τε ειδωλοθυτον και το αιμα και πνικτον και πορνειαν
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
τοτε ο παυλοσ παραλαβων τουσ ανδρασ τη εχομενη ημερα συν αυτοισ αγνισθεισ εισηει εισ το ιερον διαγγελλων την εκπληρωσιν των ημερων του αγνισμου εωσ ου προσηνεχθη υπερ ενοσ εκαστου αυτων η προσφορα
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid hands on him,
ωσ δε εμελλον αι επτα ημεραι συντελεισθαι οι απο τησ ασιασ ιουδαιοι θεασαμενοι αυτον εν τω ιερω συνεχεον παντα τον οχλον και επεβαλον τασ χειρασ επ αυτον
28 crying out, "Men of Israel, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place."
κραζοντεσ ανδρεσ ισραηλιται βοηθειτε ουτοσ εστιν ο ανθρωποσ ο κατα του λαου και του νομου και του τοπου τουτου παντασ πανταχου διδασκων ετι τε και ελληνασ εισηγαγεν εισ το ιερον και κεκοινωκεν τον αγιον τοπον τουτον
29 For they had previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
ησαν γαρ εωρακοτεσ τροφιμον τον εφεσιον εν τη πολει συν αυτω ον ενομιζον οτι εισ το ιερον εισηγαγεν ο παυλοσ
30 All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
εκινηθη τε η πολισ ολη και εγενετο συνδρομη του λαου και επιλαβομενοι του παυλου ειλκον αυτον εξω του ιερου και ευθεωσ εκλεισθησαν αι θυραι
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
ζητουντων δε αυτον αποκτειναι ανεβη φασισ τω χιλιαρχω τησ σπειρησ οτι ολη συγκεχυται ιερουσαλημ
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
οσ εξαυτησ παραλαβων στρατιωτασ και εκατονταρχουσ κατεδραμεν επ αυτουσ οι δε ιδοντεσ τον χιλιαρχον και τουσ στρατιωτασ επαυσαντο τυπτοντεσ τον παυλον
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
εγγισασ δε ο χιλιαρχοσ επελαβετο αυτου και εκελευσεν δεθηναι αλυσεσιν δυσιν και επυνθανετο τισ αν ειη και τι εστιν πεποιηκωσ
34 Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
αλλοι δε αλλο τι εβοων εν τω οχλω μη δυναμενοσ δε γνωναι το ασφαλεσ δια τον θορυβον εκελευσεν αγεσθαι αυτον εισ την παρεμβολην
35 When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
οτε δε εγενετο επι τουσ αναβαθμουσ συνεβη βασταζεσθαι αυτον υπο των στρατιωτων δια την βιαν του οχλου
36 for the crowd of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him."
ηκολουθει γαρ το πληθοσ του λαου κραζον αιρε αυτον
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, "May I speak something to you?" He said, "Do you know Greek?
μελλων τε εισαγεσθαι εισ την παρεμβολην ο παυλοσ λεγει τω χιλιαρχω ει εξεστιν μοι ειπειν προσ σε ο δε εφη ελληνιστι γινωσκεισ
38 Are you not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
ουκ αρα συ ει ο αιγυπτιοσ ο προ τουτων των ημερων αναστατωσασ και εξαγαγων εισ την ερημον τουσ τετρακισχιλιουσ ανδρασ των σικαριων
39 But Paul said, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people."
ειπεν δε ο παυλοσ εγω ανθρωποσ μεν ειμι ιουδαιοσ ταρσευσ τησ κιλικιασ ουκ ασημου πολεωσ πολιτησ δεομαι δε σου επιτρεψον μοι λαλησαι προσ τον λαον
40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
επιτρεψαντοσ δε αυτου ο παυλοσ εστωσ επι των αναβαθμων κατεσεισεν τη χειρι τω λαω πολλησ δε σιγησ γενομενησ προσεφωνει τη εβραιδι διαλεκτω λεγων
