Acts 16

1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess which believed; but his father was a Greek.

κατηντησεν δε {VAR1: και } {VAR2: [και] } εις δερβην και εις λυστραν και ιδου μαθητης τις ην εκει ονοματι τιμοθεος υιος γυναικος ιουδαιας πιστης πατρος δε ελληνος

2 The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.

ος εμαρτυρειτο υπο των εν λυστροις και ικονιω αδελφων

3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

τουτον ηθελησεν ο παυλος συν αυτω εξελθειν και λαβων περιετεμεν αυτον δια τους ιουδαιους τους οντας εν τοις τοποις εκεινοις ηδεισαν γαρ απαντες οτι ελλην ο πατηρ αυτου υπηρχεν

4 And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.

ως δε διεπορευοντο τας πολεις παρεδιδοσαν αυτοις φυλασσειν τα δογματα τα κεκριμενα υπο των αποστολων και πρεσβυτερων των εν ιεροσολυμοις

5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

αι μεν ουν εκκλησιαι εστερεουντο τη πιστει και επερισσευον τω αριθμω καθ ημεραν

6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia;

διηλθον δε την φρυγιαν και γαλατικην χωραν κωλυθεντες υπο του αγιου πνευματος λαλησαι τον λογον εν τη ασια

7 and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;

ελθοντες δε κατα την μυσιαν επειραζον εις την βιθυνιαν πορευθηναι και ουκ ειασεν αυτους το πνευμα ιησου

8 and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

παρελθοντες δε την μυσιαν κατεβησαν εις τρωαδα

9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

και οραμα δια {VAR2: [της] } νυκτος τω παυλω ωφθη ανηρ μακεδων τις ην εστως και παρακαλων αυτον και λεγων διαβας εις μακεδονιαν βοηθησον ημιν

10 And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

ως δε το οραμα ειδεν ευθεως εζητησαμεν εξελθειν εις μακεδονιαν συμβιβαζοντες οτι προσκεκληται ημας ο θεος ευαγγελισασθαι αυτους

11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

αναχθεντες {VAR1: ουν } {VAR2: δε } απο τρωαδος ευθυδρομησαμεν εις σαμοθρακην τη δε επιουση εις νεαν πολιν

12 and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.

κακειθεν εις φιλιππους ητις εστιν {VAR1: πρωτη της μεριδος } {VAR2: (πρωτης) μεριδος της } μακεδονιας πολις κολωνια ημεν δε εν ταυτη τη πολει διατριβοντες ημερας τινας

13 And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which were come together.

τη τε ημερα των σαββατων εξηλθομεν εξω της πυλης παρα ποταμον ου ενομιζομεν προσευχην ειναι και καθισαντες ελαλουμεν ταις συνελθουσαις γυναιξιν

14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.

και τις γυνη ονοματι λυδια πορφυροπωλις πολεως θυατειρων σεβομενη τον θεον ηκουεν ης ο κυριος διηνοιξεν την καρδιαν προσεχειν τοις λαλουμενοις υπο {VAR2: του } παυλου

15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.

ως δε εβαπτισθη και ο οικος αυτης παρεκαλεσεν λεγουσα ει κεκρικατε με πιστην τω κυριω ειναι εισελθοντες εις τον οικον μου μενετε και παρεβιασατο ημας

16 And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.

εγενετο δε πορευομενων ημων εις την προσευχην παιδισκην τινα εχουσαν πνευμα πυθωνα υπαντησαι ημιν ητις εργασιαν πολλην παρειχεν τοις κυριοις αυτης μαντευομενη

17 The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, which proclaim unto you the way of salvation.

αυτη κατακολουθουσα {VAR1: [τω] } {VAR2: τω } παυλω και ημιν εκραζεν λεγουσα ουτοι οι ανθρωποι δουλοι του θεου του υψιστου εισιν οιτινες καταγγελλουσιν υμιν οδον σωτηριας

18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.

τουτο δε εποιει επι πολλας ημερας διαπονηθεις δε παυλος και επιστρεψας τω πνευματι ειπεν παραγγελλω σοι εν ονοματι ιησου χριστου εξελθειν απ αυτης και εξηλθεν αυτη τη ωρα

19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,

ιδοντες δε οι κυριοι αυτης οτι εξηλθεν η ελπις της εργασιας αυτων επιλαβομενοι τον παυλον και τον σιλαν ειλκυσαν εις την αγοραν επι τους αρχοντας

20 and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

και προσαγαγοντες αυτους τοις στρατηγοις ειπαν ουτοι οι ανθρωποι εκταρασσουσιν ημων την πολιν ιουδαιοι υπαρχοντες

21 and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.

και καταγγελλουσιν εθη α ουκ εξεστιν ημιν παραδεχεσθαι ουδε ποιειν ρωμαιοις ουσιν

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

και συνεπεστη ο οχλος κατ αυτων και οι στρατηγοι περιρηξαντες αυτων τα ιματια εκελευον ραβδιζειν

23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

πολλας {VAR1: δε } {VAR2: τε } επιθεντες αυτοις πληγας εβαλον εις φυλακην παραγγειλαντες τω δεσμοφυλακι ασφαλως τηρειν αυτους

24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

ος παραγγελιαν τοιαυτην λαβων εβαλεν αυτους εις την εσωτεραν φυλακην και τους ποδας ησφαλισατο αυτων εις το ξυλον

25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

κατα δε το μεσονυκτιον παυλος και σιλας προσευχομενοι υμνουν τον θεον επηκροωντο δε αυτων οι δεσμιοι

26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed.

αφνω δε σεισμος εγενετο μεγας ωστε σαλευθηναι τα θεμελια του δεσμωτηριου ηνεωχθησαν δε {VAR1: [παραχρημα] } {VAR2: παραχρημα } αι θυραι πασαι και παντων τα δεσμα ανεθη

27 And the jailor being roused out of sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

εξυπνος δε γενομενος ο δεσμοφυλαξ και ιδων ανεωγμενας τας θυρας της φυλακης σπασαμενος {VAR1: την } {VAR2: [την] } μαχαιραν ημελλεν εαυτον αναιρειν νομιζων εκπεφευγεναι τους δεσμιους

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

εφωνησεν δε {VAR1: παυλος μεγαλη φωνη } {VAR2: μεγαλη φωνη [ο] παυλος } λεγων μηδεν πραξης σεαυτω κακον απαντες γαρ εσμεν ενθαδε

29 And he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,

αιτησας δε φωτα εισεπηδησεν και εντρομος γενομενος προσεπεσεν τω παυλω και {VAR2: [τω] } σιλα

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

και προαγαγων αυτους εξω εφη κυριοι τι με δει ποιειν ινα σωθω

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

οι δε ειπαν πιστευσον επι τον κυριον ιησουν και σωθηση συ και ο οικος σου

32 And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.

και ελαλησαν αυτω τον λογον του {VAR1: θεου } {VAR2: κυριου } συν πασιν τοις εν τη οικια αυτου

33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.

και παραλαβων αυτους εν εκεινη τη ωρα της νυκτος ελουσεν απο των πληγων και εβαπτισθη αυτος και οι αυτου {VAR1: απαντες } {VAR2: παντες } παραχρημα

34 And he brought them up into his house, and set meat before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.

αναγαγων τε αυτους εις τον οικον παρεθηκεν τραπεζαν και ηγαλλιασατο πανοικει πεπιστευκως τω θεω

35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

ημερας δε γενομενης απεστειλαν οι στρατηγοι τους ραβδουχους λεγοντες απολυσον τους ανθρωπους εκεινους

36 And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.

απηγγειλεν δε ο δεσμοφυλαξ τους λογους {VAR2: [τουτους] } προς τον παυλον οτι απεσταλκαν οι στρατηγοι ινα απολυθητε νυν ουν εξελθοντες πορευεσθε εν ειρηνη

37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.

ο δε παυλος εφη προς αυτους δειραντες ημας δημοσια ακατακριτους ανθρωπους ρωμαιους υπαρχοντας εβαλαν εις φυλακην και νυν λαθρα ημας εκβαλλουσιν ου γαρ αλλα ελθοντες αυτοι ημας εξαγαγετωσαν

38 And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans;

απηγγειλαν δε τοις στρατηγοις οι ραβδουχοι τα ρηματα ταυτα εφοβηθησαν δε ακουσαντες οτι ρωμαιοι εισιν

39 and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.

και ελθοντες παρεκαλεσαν αυτους και εξαγαγοντες ηρωτων απελθειν απο της πολεως

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

εξελθοντες δε απο της φυλακης εισηλθον προς την λυδιαν και ιδοντες παρεκαλεσαν τους αδελφους και εξηλθαν
