Acts 18

1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

μετα ταυτα χωρισθεις εκ των αθηνων ηλθεν εις κορινθον

2 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,

και ευρων τινα ιουδαιον ονοματι ακυλαν ποντικον τω γενει προσφατως εληλυθοτα απο της ιταλιας και πρισκιλλαν γυναικα αυτου δια το διατεταχεναι κλαυδιον χωριζεσθαι παντας τους ιουδαιους απο της ρωμης προσηλθεν αυτοις

3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.

και δια το ομοτεχνον ειναι εμενεν παρ αυτοις και {VAR1: ηργαζοντο } {VAR2: ηργαζετο } ησαν γαρ σκηνοποιοι τη τεχνη

4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

διελεγετο δε εν τη συναγωγη κατα παν σαββατον επειθεν τε ιουδαιους και ελληνας

5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

ως δε κατηλθον απο της μακεδονιας ο τε σιλας και ο τιμοθεος συνειχετο τω λογω ο παυλος διαμαρτυρομενος τοις ιουδαιοις ειναι τον χριστον ιησουν

6 When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the non-Jewish people."

αντιτασσομενων δε αυτων και βλασφημουντων εκτιναξαμενος τα ιματια ειπεν προς αυτους το αιμα υμων επι την κεφαλην υμων καθαρος εγω απο του νυν εις τα εθνη πορευσομαι

7 He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Titius Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

και μεταβας εκειθεν {VAR1: ηλθεν } {VAR2: εισηλθεν } εις οικιαν τινος ονοματι τιτιου ιουστου σεβομενου τον θεον ου η οικια ην συνομορουσα τη συναγωγη

8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.

κρισπος δε ο αρχισυναγωγος επιστευσεν τω κυριω συν ολω τω οικω αυτου και πολλοι των κορινθιων ακουοντες επιστευον και εβαπτιζοντο

9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;

ειπεν δε ο κυριος εν νυκτι δι οραματος τω παυλω μη φοβου αλλα λαλει και μη σιωπησης

10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."

διοτι εγω ειμι μετα σου και ουδεις επιθησεται σοι του κακωσαι σε διοτι λαος εστιν μοι πολυς εν τη πολει ταυτη

11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

εκαθισεν δε ενιαυτον και μηνας εξ διδασκων εν αυτοις τον λογον του θεου

12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

γαλλιωνος δε ανθυπατου οντος της αχαιας κατεπεστησαν {VAR1: οι ιουδαιοι ομοθυμαδον } {VAR2: ομοθυμαδον οι ιουδαιοι } τω παυλω και ηγαγον αυτον επι το βημα

13 saying, "This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."

λεγοντες οτι παρα τον νομον αναπειθει ουτος τους ανθρωπους σεβεσθαι τον θεον

14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;

μελλοντος δε του παυλου ανοιγειν το στομα ειπεν ο γαλλιων προς τους ιουδαιους ει μεν ην αδικημα τι η ραδιουργημα πονηρον ω ιουδαιοι κατα λογον αν ανεσχομην υμων

15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters."

ει δε ζητηματα εστιν περι λογου και ονοματων και νομου του καθ υμας οψεσθε αυτοι κριτης εγω τουτων ου βουλομαι ειναι

16 He drove them from the judgment seat.

και απηλασεν αυτους απο του βηματος

17 Then they all took hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But none of these things were of concern to Gallio.

επιλαβομενοι δε παντες σωσθενην τον αρχισυναγωγον ετυπτον εμπροσθεν του βηματος και ουδεν τουτων τω γαλλιωνι εμελεν

18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

ο δε παυλος ετι προσμεινας ημερας ικανας τοις αδελφοις αποταξαμενος εξεπλει εις την συριαν και συν αυτω πρισκιλλα και ακυλας κειραμενος εν κεγχρεαις την κεφαλην ειχεν γαρ ευχην

19 They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

κατηντησαν δε εις εφεσον κακεινους κατελιπεν αυτου αυτος δε εισελθων εις την συναγωγην διελεξατο τοις ιουδαιοις

20 When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;

ερωτωντων δε αυτων επι πλειονα χρονον μειναι ουκ επενευσεν

21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.

αλλα αποταξαμενος και ειπων παλιν ανακαμψω προς υμας του θεου θελοντος ανηχθη απο της εφεσου

22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.

και κατελθων εις καισαρειαν αναβας και ασπασαμενος την εκκλησιαν κατεβη εις αντιοχειαν

23 Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the disciples.

και ποιησας χρονον τινα εξηλθεν διερχομενος καθεξης την γαλατικην χωραν και φρυγιαν {VAR1: στηριζων } {VAR2: επιστηριζων } παντας τους μαθητας

24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.

ιουδαιος δε τις απολλως ονοματι αλεξανδρευς τω γενει ανηρ λογιος κατηντησεν εις εφεσον δυνατος ων εν ταις γραφαις

25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

ουτος ην κατηχημενος την οδον του κυριου και ζεων τω πνευματι ελαλει και εδιδασκεν ακριβως τα περι του ιησου επισταμενος μονον το βαπτισμα ιωαννου

26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

ουτος τε ηρξατο παρρησιαζεσθαι εν τη συναγωγη ακουσαντες δε αυτου πρισκιλλα και ακυλας προσελαβοντο αυτον και ακριβεστερον αυτω εξεθεντο την οδον {VAR1: του θεου } {VAR2: [του θεου] }

27 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;

βουλομενου δε αυτου διελθειν εις την αχαιαν προτρεψαμενοι οι αδελφοι εγραψαν τοις μαθηταις αποδεξασθαι αυτον ος παραγενομενος συνεβαλετο πολυ τοις πεπιστευκοσιν δια της χαριτος

28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

ευτονως γαρ τοις ιουδαιοις διακατηλεγχετο δημοσια επιδεικνυς δια των γραφων ειναι τον χριστον ιησουν
