Πραξεις 20

1 μετα δε το παυσασθαι τον θορυβον προσκαλεσαμενοσ ο παυλοσ τουσ μαθητασ και ασπασαμενοσ εξηλθεν πορευθηναι εισ την μακεδονιαν

And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called near the disciples, and having embraced [them], went forth to go on to Macedonia;

2 διελθων δε τα μερη εκεινα και παρακαλεσασ αυτουσ λογω πολλω ηλθεν εισ την ελλαδα

and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came to Greece;

3 ποιησασ τε μηνασ τρεισ γενομενησ αυτω επιβουλησ υπο των ιουδαιων μελλοντι αναγεσθαι εισ την συριαν εγενετο γνωμη του υποστρεφειν δια μακεδονιασ

having made also three months' [stay] — a counsel of the Jews having been against him — being about to set forth to Syria, there came [to him] a resolution of returning through Macedonia.

4 συνειπετο δε αυτω αχρι τησ ασιασ σωπατροσ βεροιαιοσ θεσσαλονικεων δε αρισταρχοσ και σεκουνδοσ και γαιοσ δερβαιοσ και τιμοθεοσ ασιανοι δε τυχικοσ και τροφιμοσ

And there were accompanying him unto Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asiatics Tychicus and Trophimus;

5 ουτοι προσελθοντεσ εμενον ημασ εν τρωαδι

these, having gone before, did remain for us in Troas,

6 ημεισ δε εξεπλευσαμεν μετα τασ ημερασ των αζυμων απο φιλιππων και ηλθομεν προσ αυτουσ εισ την τρωαδα αχρι ημερων πεντε ου διετριψαμεν ημερασ επτα

and we sailed, after the days of the unleavened food, from Philippi, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.

7 εν δε τη μια των σαββατων συνηγμενων των μαθητων κλασαι αρτον ο παυλοσ διελεγετο αυτοισ μελλων εξιεναι τη επαυριον παρετεινεν τε τον λογον μεχρι μεσονυκτιου

And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight,

8 ησαν δε λαμπαδεσ ικαναι εν τω υπερωω ου ημεν συνηγμενοι

and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together,

9 καθημενοσ δε τισ νεανιασ ονοματι ευτυχοσ επι τησ θυριδοσ καταφερομενοσ υπνω βαθει διαλεγομενου του παυλου επι πλειον κατενεχθεισ απο του υπνου επεσεν απο του τριστεγου κατω και ηρθη νεκροσ

and there was sitting a certain youth, by name Eutychus, upon the window — being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long — he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up dead.

10 καταβασ δε ο παυλοσ επεπεσεν αυτω και συμπεριλαβων ειπεν μη θορυβεισθε η γαρ ψυχη αυτου εν αυτω εστιν

And Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having embraced [him], said, 'Make no tumult, for his life is in him;'

11 αναβασ δε και κλασασ αρτον και γευσαμενοσ εφ ικανον τε ομιλησασ αχρι αυγησ ουτωσ εξηλθεν

and having come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked — till daylight, so he went forth,

12 ηγαγον δε τον παιδα ζωντα και παρεκληθησαν ου μετριωσ

and they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.

13 ημεισ δε προσελθοντεσ επι το πλοιον ανηχθημεν εισ την ασσον εκειθεν μελλοντεσ αναλαμβανειν τον παυλον ουτωσ γαρ ην διατεταγμενοσ μελλων αυτοσ πεζευειν

And we having gone before unto the ship, did sail to Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;

14 ωσ δε συνεβαλεν ημιν εισ την ασσον αναλαβοντεσ αυτον ηλθομεν εισ μιτυληνην

and when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene,

15 κακειθεν αποπλευσαντεσ τη επιουση κατηντησαμεν αντικρυ χιου τη δε ετερα παρεβαλομεν εισ σαμον και μειναντεσ εν τρωγυλλιω τη εχομενη ηλθομεν εισ μιλητον

and thence having sailed, on the morrow we came over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus,

16 εκρινεν γαρ ο παυλοσ παραπλευσαι την εφεσον οπωσ μη γενηται αυτω χρονοτριβησαι εν τη ασια εσπευδεν γαρ ει δυνατον ην αυτω την ημεραν τησ πεντηκοστησ γενεσθαι εισ ιεροσολυμα

for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem.

17 απο δε τησ μιλητου πεμψασ εισ εφεσον μετεκαλεσατο τουσ πρεσβυτερουσ τησ εκκλησιασ

And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

18 ωσ δε παρεγενοντο προσ αυτον ειπεν αυτοισ υμεισ επιστασθε απο πρωτησ ημερασ αφ ησ επεβην εισ την ασιαν πωσ μεθ υμων τον παντα χρονον εγενομην

and when they were come unto him, he said to them, 'Ye — ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was;

19 δουλευων τω κυριω μετα πασησ ταπεινοφροσυνησ και πολλων δακρυων και πειρασμων των συμβαντων μοι εν ταισ επιβουλαισ των ιουδαιων

serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against [me];

20 ωσ ουδεν υπεστειλαμην των συμφεροντων του μη αναγγειλαι υμιν και διδαξαι υμασ δημοσια και κατ οικουσ

how nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house,

21 διαμαρτυρομενοσ ιουδαιοισ τε και ελλησιν την εισ τον θεον μετανοιαν και πιστιν την εισ τον κυριον ημων ιησουν

testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 και νυν ιδου εγω δεδεμενοσ τω πνευματι πορευομαι εισ ιερουσαλημ τα εν αυτη συναντησοντα μοι μη ειδωσ

'And now, lo, I — bound in the Spirit — go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing,

23 πλην οτι το πνευμα το αγιον κατα πολιν διαμαρτυρεται λεγον οτι δεσμα με και θλιψεισ μενουσιν

save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain;

24 αλλ ουδενοσ λογον ποιουμαι ουδε εχω την ψυχην μου τιμιαν εμαυτω ωσ τελειωσαι τον δρομον μου μετα χαρασ και την διακονιαν ην ελαβον παρα του κυριου ιησου διαμαρτυρασθαι το ευαγγελιον τησ χαριτοσ του θεου

but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

25 και νυν ιδου εγω οιδα οτι ουκετι οψεσθε το προσωπον μου υμεισ παντεσ εν οισ διηλθον κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου

'And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, — ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God;

26 διοτι μαρτυρομαι υμιν εν τη σημερον ημερα οτι καθαροσ εγω απο του αιματοσ παντων

wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I [am] clear from the blood of all,

27 ου γαρ υπεστειλαμην του μη αναγγειλαι υμιν πασαν την βουλην του θεου

for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.

28 προσεχετε ουν εαυτοισ και παντι τω ποιμνιω εν ω υμασ το πνευμα το αγιον εθετο επισκοπουσ ποιμαινειν την εκκλησιαν του κυριου και θεου ην περιεποιησατο δια του ιδιου αιματοσ

'Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,

29 εγω γαρ οιδα τουτο οτι εισελευσονται μετα την αφιξιν μου λυκοι βαρεισ εισ υμασ μη φειδομενοι του ποιμνιου

for I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves unto you, not sparing the flock,

30 και εξ υμων αυτων αναστησονται ανδρεσ λαλουντεσ διεστραμμενα του αποσπαν τουσ μαθητασ οπισω αυτων

and of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

31 διο γρηγορειτε μνημονευοντεσ οτι τριετιαν νυκτα και ημεραν ουκ επαυσαμην μετα δακρυων νουθετων ενα εκαστον

'Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

32 και τα νυν παρατιθεμαι υμασ αδελφοι τω θεω και τω λογω τησ χαριτοσ αυτου τω δυναμενω εποικοδομησαι και δουναι υμιν κληρονομιαν εν τοισ ηγιασμενοισ πασιν

and now, I commend you, brethren, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified.

33 αργυριου η χρυσιου η ιματισμου ουδενοσ επεθυμησα

'The silver or gold or garments of no one did I covet;

34 αυτοι γινωσκετε οτι ταισ χρειαισ μου και τοισ ουσιν μετ εμου υπηρετησαν αι χειρεσ αυται

and ye yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, minister did these hands;

35 παντα υπεδειξα υμιν οτι ουτωσ κοπιωντασ δει αντιλαμβανεσθαι των ασθενουντων μνημονευειν τε των λογων του κυριου ιησου οτι αυτοσ ειπεν μακαριον εστιν μαλλον διδοναι η λαμβανειν

all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth [us] to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

36 και ταυτα ειπων θεισ τα γονατα αυτου συν πασιν αυτοισ προσηυξατο

And these things having said, having bowed his knees, with them all, he did pray,

37 ικανοσ δε εγενετο κλαυθμοσ παντων και επιπεσοντεσ επι τον τραχηλον του παυλου κατεφιλουν αυτον

and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen upon the neck of Paul, they were kissing him,

38 οδυνωμενοι μαλιστα επι τω λογω ω ειρηκει οτι ουκετι μελλουσιν το προσωπον αυτου θεωρειν προεπεμπον δε αυτον εισ το πλοιον

sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said — that they are about no more to see his face; and they were accompanying him to the ship.
