Acts 23
1 Having looked intently then Paul at the Council he said; Men brothers, I myself in all conscience good have lived as a citizen to God unto this day.
ατενισασ δε ο παυλοσ τω συνεδριω ειπεν ανδρεσ αδελφοι εγω παση συνειδησει αγαθη πεπολιτευμαι τω θεω αχρι ταυτησ τησ ημερασ
2 Then the high priest Ananias commanded to those standing by him to strike of him the mouth.
ο δε αρχιερευσ ανανιασ επεταξεν τοισ παρεστωσιν αυτω τυπτειν αυτου το στομα
3 Then Paul to him said; To strike you is about God, wall whitewashed! And you yourself do you sit judging me according to the law, and violating law you command me to be struck?
τοτε ο παυλοσ προσ αυτον ειπεν τυπτειν σε μελλει ο θεοσ τοιχε κεκονιαμενε και συ καθη κρινων με κατα τον νομον και παρανομων κελευεισ με τυπτεσθαι
4 Those who now standing by said; The high priest of God do you insult?
οι δε παρεστωτεσ ειπον τον αρχιερεα του θεου λοιδορεισ
5 Was saying then Paul; Not I had known, brothers, that he is high priest; it has been written for (that *no*) [The] ruler of the people of you not you will speak evil [of].’
εφη τε ο παυλοσ ουκ ηδειν αδελφοι οτι εστιν αρχιερευσ γεγραπται γαρ αρχοντα του λαου σου ουκ ερεισ κακωσ
6 Having known then Paul that the one part consists of Sadducees but the other of Pharisees (he was crying out *N(k)O*) in the Council; Men brothers, I myself a Pharisee am, [the] son (of Pharisees; *N(K)O*) concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged.
γνουσ δε ο παυλοσ οτι το εν μεροσ εστιν σαδδουκαιων το δε ετερον φαρισαιων εκραξεν εν τω συνεδριω ανδρεσ αδελφοι εγω φαρισαιοσ ειμι υιοσ φαρισαιου περι ελπιδοσ και αναστασεωσ νεκρων εγω κρινομαι
7 This then of him (saying *N(k)(o)*) arose a dissension between the Pharisees and (of the *k*) Sadducees, and was divided the crowd.
τουτο δε αυτου λαλησαντοσ εγενετο στασισ των φαρισαιων και εσχισθη το πληθοσ
8 Sadducees indeed for say not there to be resurrection (neither [to be] *N(k)O*) angel nor [to be] spirit; Pharisees however confess both.
σαδδουκαιοι μεν γαρ λεγουσιν μη ειναι αναστασιν μηδε αγγελον μητε πνευμα φαρισαιοι δε ομολογουσιν τα αμφοτερα
9 Arose then a clamor great; and having risen up (some *NO*) (of the scribes *N(k)O*) of the party of the Pharisees they were contending saying; No [thing] evil we find in man this; What if now a spirit has spoken to him or an angel (Surely we shall be fighting God? *K*)
εγενετο δε κραυγη μεγαλη και ανασταντεσ οι γραμματεισ του μερουσ των φαρισαιων διεμαχοντο λεγοντεσ ουδεν κακον ευρισκομεν εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω ει δε πνευμα ελαλησεν αυτω η αγγελοσ μη θεομαχωμεν
10 great then (is becoming *N(k)O*) dissension, (having feared *N(k)O*) the commander lest may be torn to pieces Paul by them he commanded the troop (having gone down *NK(o)*) (and *k*) to take by force him from midst of them, to bring [him] then into the barracks.
πολλησ δε γενομενησ στασεωσ ευλαβηθεισ ο χιλιαρχοσ μη διασπασθη ο παυλοσ υπ αυτων εκελευσεν το στρατευμα καταβηναι και αρπασαι αυτον εκ μεσου αυτων αγειν τε εισ την παρεμβολην
11 But on the following night having stood by him the Lord said; Take courage (Paul; *k*) as for you have fully testified about Me at Jerusalem, thus you it behooves also in Rome to testify.
τη δε επιουση νυκτι επιστασ αυτω ο κυριοσ ειπεν θαρσει παυλε ωσ γαρ διεμαρτυρω τα περι εμου εισ ιερουσαλημ ουτωσ σε δει και εισ ρωμην μαρτυρησαι
12 When it was becoming then day having made a conspiracy (the Jews *N(k)O*) put under an oath themselves declaring neither to eat nor to drink until that they may kill Paul.
γενομενησ δε ημερασ ποιησαντεσ τινεσ των ιουδαιων συστροφην ανεθεματισαν εαυτουσ λεγοντεσ μητε φαγειν μητε πιειν εωσ ου αποκτεινωσιν τον παυλον
13 There were now more than forty this plot (having made; *N(k)O*)
ησαν δε πλειουσ τεσσαρακοντα οι ταυτην την συνωμοσιαν πεποιηκοτεσ
14 who having come to the chief priests and to the elders said; With an oath we have bound ourselves nothing to eat until that we may kill Paul.
οιτινεσ προσελθοντεσ τοισ αρχιερευσιν και τοισ πρεσβυτεροισ ειπον αναθεματι ανεθεματισαμεν εαυτουσ μηδενοσ γευσασθαι εωσ ου αποκτεινωμεν τον παυλον
15 Now therefore you yourselves do make a report to the commander along with the Council, so that (tomorrow *K*) he may bring down him (to *N(k)O*) you as being about to examine more earnestly the [things] about him; we ourselves then before drawing near of him ready we are to execute him.
νυν ουν υμεισ εμφανισατε τω χιλιαρχω συν τω συνεδριω οπωσ αυριον αυτον καταγαγη προσ υμασ ωσ μελλοντασ διαγινωσκειν ακριβεστερον τα περι αυτου ημεισ δε προ του εγγισαι αυτον ετοιμοι εσμεν του ανελειν αυτον
16 Having heard however the son of the sister of Paul (of the ambush, *N(k)O*) having come near and having entered into the barracks he reported [it] to Paul.
ακουσασ δε ο υιοσ τησ αδελφησ παυλου το ενεδρον παραγενομενοσ και εισελθων εισ την παρεμβολην απηγγειλεν τω παυλω
17 Having called to [him] then Paul one of the centurions he was saying; young man this (do take *NK(o)*) to the commander; he has for to report something to him.
προσκαλεσαμενοσ δε ο παυλοσ ενα των εκατονταρχων εφη τον νεανιαν τουτον απαγαγε προσ τον χιλιαρχον εχει γαρ τι απαγγειλαι αυτω
18 The [one] indeed therefore having taken him he brought [him] to the commander and he says; The prisoner Paul having called to me he asked [me] this (young man *N(k)O*) to lead to you having something to say to you.
ο μεν ουν παραλαβων αυτον ηγαγεν προσ τον χιλιαρχον και φησιν ο δεσμιοσ παυλοσ προσκαλεσαμενοσ με ηρωτησεν τουτον τον νεανιαν αγαγειν προσ σε εχοντα τι λαλησαι σοι
19 Having taken hold then of the hand of him the commander and having withdrawn in private he was inquiring: What is it that you have to report to me?
επιλαβομενοσ δε τησ χειροσ αυτου ο χιλιαρχοσ και αναχωρησασ κατ ιδιαν επυνθανετο τι εστιν ο εχεισ απαγγειλαι μοι
20 He said then that The Jews have agreed to ask you that tomorrow Paul you may bring down into the Council as (it being about *N(K)(O)*) something more earnestly to inquire about him.
ειπεν δε οτι οι ιουδαιοι συνεθεντο του ερωτησαι σε οπωσ αυριον εισ το συνεδριον καταγαγησ τον παυλον ωσ μελλοντα τι ακριβεστερον πυνθανεσθαι περι αυτου
21 You yourself therefore not may be persuaded by them, Lie in wait indeed for him of them men more than forty, who was put under an oath themselves neither to eat nor to drink until that they may execute him and now they are ready awaiting the from you promise.
συ ουν μη πεισθησ αυτοισ ενεδρευουσιν γαρ αυτον εξ αυτων ανδρεσ πλειουσ τεσσαρακοντα οιτινεσ ανεθεματισαν εαυτουσ μητε φαγειν μητε πιειν εωσ ου ανελωσιν αυτον και νυν ετοιμοι εισιν προσδεχομενοι την απο σου επαγγελιαν
22 Indeed therefore [the] commander dismissed the (young man *N(k)O*) having instructed [him] No one to tell that these things you reported to me.
ο μεν ουν χιλιαρχοσ απελυσεν τον νεανιαν παραγγειλασ μηδενι εκλαλησαι οτι ταυτα ενεφανισασ προσ με
23 And having called to [him] two certain of the centurions he said; do prepare soldiers two hundred so that they may go as far as Caesarea and horsemen seventy and spearmen two hundred for [the] third hour of the night,
και προσκαλεσαμενοσ δυο τινασ των εκατονταρχων ειπεν ετοιμασατε στρατιωτασ διακοσιουσ οπωσ πορευθωσιν εωσ καισαρειασ και ιππεισ εβδομηκοντα και δεξιολαβουσ διακοσιουσ απο τριτησ ωρασ τησ νυκτοσ
24 Mounts then providing so that having set upon [them] Paul they may bring [him] safely to Felix the governor;
κτηνη τε παραστησαι ινα επιβιβασαντεσ τον παυλον διασωσωσιν προσ φηλικα τον ηγεμονα
25 having written a letter (having *N(k)O*) form this:
γραψασ επιστολην περιεχουσαν τον τυπον τουτον
26 Claudius Lysias To the most excellent governor Felix Greeting.
κλαυδιοσ λυσιασ τω κρατιστω ηγεμονι φηλικι χαιρειν
27 man this having been seized by the Jews and being about to be executed by them, having come up with the troop I rescued (him *k*) having learned that a Roman he is;
τον ανδρα τουτον συλληφθεντα υπο των ιουδαιων και μελλοντα αναιρεισθαι υπ αυτων επιστασ συν τω στρατευματι εξειλομην αυτον μαθων οτι ρωμαιοσ εστιν
28 Resolving (then to know *N(k)O*) the charge on account of which they were accusing him I brought down (him *k*) to the council of them;
βουλομενοσ δε γνωναι την αιτιαν δι ην ενεκαλουν αυτω κατηγαγον αυτον εισ το συνεδριον αυτων
29 whom I found being accused concerning questions of the law of them, not however [of anything] worthy of death or of chains having accusation.
ον ευρον εγκαλουμενον περι ζητηματων του νομου αυτων μηδεν αξιον θανατου η δεσμων εγκλημα εχοντα
30 When was being disclosed then to me a plot that against the man (to be about to *k*) going to happen (by the Jews *K*) (at once *NK(O)*) I sent [him] to you having instructed also to the accusers to speak the [things] against him before you. (Farewell! *KO*)
μηνυθεισησ δε μοι επιβουλησ εισ τον ανδρα μελλειν εσεσθαι υπο των ιουδαιων εξαυτησ επεμψα προσ σε παραγγειλασ και τοισ κατηγοροισ λεγειν τα προσ αυτον επι σου ερρωσο
31 Indeed therefore [the] soldiers according to that ordered them having taken Paul brought [him] through (*k*) night to Antipatris.
οι μεν ουν στρατιωται κατα το διατεταγμενον αυτοισ αναλαβοντεσ τον παυλον ηγαγον δια τησ νυκτοσ εισ την αντιπατριδα
32 On the now next day having allowed the horsemen (to go *N(k)O*) with him they returned to the barracks;
τη δε επαυριον εασαντεσ τουσ ιππεισ πορευεσθαι συν αυτω υπεστρεψαν εισ την παρεμβολην
33 who having entered into Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor presented also Paul to him.
οιτινεσ εισελθοντεσ εισ την καισαρειαν και αναδοντεσ την επιστολην τω ηγεμονι παρεστησαν και τον παυλον αυτω
34 Having read [it] then (governor *k*) and having asked from what province he is and having learned that from Cilicia [he is],
αναγνουσ δε ο ηγεμων και επερωτησασ εκ ποιασ επαρχιασ εστιν και πυθομενοσ οτι απο κιλικιασ
35 I will hear fully you, he was saying, when also the accusers of you may have arrived. (having commanded *N(k)O*) (then *k*) in the Praetorium of Herod to be guarded him.
διακουσομαι σου εφη οταν και οι κατηγοροι σου παραγενωνται εκελευσεν τε αυτον εν τω πραιτωριω ηρωδου φυλασσεσθαι
