Πραξεις 20

1 μετα δε το παυσασθαι τον θορυβον μεταπεμψαμενος ο παυλος τους μαθητας και παρακαλεσας ασπασαμενος εξηλθεν πορευεσθαι εις μακεδονιαν

And after the uproar ceased, Paul having summoned the disciples and having embraced them, he departed to go into Macedonia.

2 διελθων δε τα μερη εκεινα και παρακαλεσας αυτους λογω πολλω ηλθεν εις την ελλαδα

And having passed through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece.

3 ποιησας τε μηνας τρεις γενομενης επιβουλης αυτω υπο των ιουδαιων μελλοντι αναγεσθαι εις την συριαν εγενετο γνωμης του υποστρεφειν δια μακεδονιας

And having spent three months there, and a conspiracy having developed against him by Jews, intending to go up into Syria, a decision developed to return through Macedonia.

4 συνειπετο δε αυτω σωπατρος πυρρου βεροιαιος θεσσαλονικεων δε αρισταρχος και σεκουνδος και γαιος δερβαιος και τιμοθεος ασιανοι δε τυχικος και τροφιμος

And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean, and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius a Derbean, and Timothy, and the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 ουτοι δε {VAR1: προσελθοντες } {VAR2: προελθοντες } εμενον ημας εν τρωαδι

These men, who went ahead, awaited us at Troas.

6 ημεις δε εξεπλευσαμεν μετα τας ημερας των αζυμων απο φιλιππων και ηλθομεν προς αυτους εις την τρωαδα αχρις ημερων πεντε {VAR1: ου } {VAR2: οπου } διετριψαμεν ημερας επτα

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas within five days, where we stayed seven days.

7 εν δε τη μια των σαββατων συνηγμενων ημων κλασαι αρτον ο παυλος διελεγετο αυτοις μελλων εξιεναι τη επαυριον παρετεινεν τε τον λογον μεχρι μεσονυκτιου

And upon the first day of the week, the disciples having come together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged his speech until midnight.

8 ησαν δε λαμπαδες ικαναι εν τω υπερωω ου ημεν συνηγμενοι

And there were considerable lights in the upper floor where we were gathered together.

9 καθεζομενος 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 a certain young man named Eutychus sitting in the window, being carried away by deep sleep (Paul discoursing on more), being carried away by sleep, he fell down below from the third floor, and was taken up dead.

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

But Paul having come down, he fell on him, and having embraced him he said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

11 αναβας δε {VAR1: [και] } {VAR2: και } κλασας τον αρτον και γευσαμενος εφ ικανον τε ομιλησας αχρις αυγης ουτως εξηλθεν

And after getting up, and having broken bread and eaten, and having conversed for a considerable time, until dawn, thus he departed.

12 ηγαγον δε τον παιδα ζωντα και παρεκληθησαν ου μετριως

And they brought the boy alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 ημεις δε προελθοντες επι το πλοιον ανηχθημεν επι την ασσον εκειθεν μελλοντες αναλαμβανειν τον παυλον ουτως γαρ διατεταγμενος ην μελλων αυτος πεζευειν

But we, having gone ahead to the ship, went up to Assos, intending from there to take up Paul, for so it was arranged, he himself intending to go on foot.

14 ως δε συνεβαλλεν 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 αντικρυς χιου τη δε ετερα παρεβαλομεν εις σαμον τη δε εχομενη ηλθομεν εις μιλητον

And having sailed from there on the next day, we arrived opposite Chios, and the next day we came near to Samos. And having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus.

16 κεκρικει γαρ ο παυλος παραπλευσαι την εφεσον οπως μη γενηται αυτω χρονοτριβησαι εν τη ασια εσπευδεν γαρ ει δυνατον ειη αυτω την ημεραν της πεντηκοστης γενεσθαι εις ιεροσολυμα

For Paul determined to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not happen to lose time in Asia. For he was hastening, if it were possible, for him to become at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

17 απο δε της μιλητου πεμψας εις εφεσον μετεκαλεσατο τους πρεσβυτερους της εκκλησιας

And from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he summoned the elders of the congregation.

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 came to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day in which I stepped in Asia, how I became with you all the time,

19 δουλευων τω κυριω μετα πασης ταπεινοφροσυνης και δακρυων και πειρασμων των συμβαντων μοι εν ταις επιβουλαις των ιουδαιων

serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears and trials that befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews.

20 ως ουδεν υπεστειλαμην των συμφεροντων του μη αναγγειλαι υμιν και διδαξαι υμας δημοσια και κατ οικους

How I kept back nothing of these things that are beneficial, not to inform you, and to teach you in public, and from house to house,

21 διαμαρτυρομενος ιουδαιοις τε και ελλησιν την εις θεον μετανοιαν και πιστιν εις τον κυριον ημων ιησουν

testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

22 και νυν ιδου δεδεμενος εγω τω πνευματι πορευομαι εις ιερουσαλημ τα εν αυτη συναντησοντα {VAR1: εμοι } {VAR2: μοι } μη ειδως

And now behold, I, bound in the spirit, am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me in it,

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

except that the Holy Spirit testifies from city to city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

24 αλλ ουδενος λογου ποιουμαι την ψυχην τιμιαν εμαυτω ως {VAR1: τελειωσω } {VAR2: τελειωσαι } τον δρομον μου και την διακονιαν ην ελαβον παρα του κυριου ιησου διαμαρτυρασθαι το ευαγγελιον της χαριτος του θεου

But I make nothing of the matter, nor do I hold my life precious to myself, so as to fully complete my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly testify 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

And now behold, I have seen that ye will no longer see my face, ye all among whom I passed through preaching the kingdom of God.

26 διοτι μαρτυρομαι υμιν εν τη σημερον ημερα οτι καθαρος ειμι απο του αιματος παντων

Therefore I solemnly declare to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all men.

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

For I did not withdraw from declaring to you the whole plan of God.

28 προσεχετε εαυτοις και παντι τω ποιμνιω εν ω υμας το πνευμα το αγιον εθετο επισκοπους ποιμαινειν την εκκλησιαν του θεου ην περιεποιησατο δια του αιματος του ιδιου

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit placed you guardians, to tend the church of the Lord and God, which he purchased by his own blood.

29 εγω οιδα οτι εισελευσονται μετα την αφιξιν μου λυκοι βαρεις εις υμας μη φειδομενοι του ποιμνιου

For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 και εξ υμων {VAR1: [αυτων] } {VAR2: αυτων } αναστησονται ανδρες λαλουντες διεστραμμενα του αποσπαν τους μαθητας οπισω {VAR1: εαυτων } {VAR2: αυτων }

And from you yourselves men will rise up, speaking distorted 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 ye, remembering that for three years, night and day, I did not cease warning each one with tears.

32 και τα νυν παρατιθεμαι υμας τω {VAR1: κυριω } {VAR2: θεω } και τω λογω της χαριτος αυτου τω δυναμενω οικοδομησαι και δουναι την κληρονομιαν εν τοις ηγιασμενοις πασιν

And now brothers, I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.

33 αργυριου η χρυσιου η ιματισμου ουδενος επεθυμησα

I coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

34 αυτοι γινωσκετε οτι ταις χρειαις μου και τοις ουσιν μετ εμου υπηρετησαν αι χειρες αυται

Ye yourselves know that these hands served my needs, and to those who were with me.

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

I gave you a glimpse of all things, that so laboring ye ought to aid the weak, and to remember 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 having spoken these things, having knelt down, he prayed with them all.

37 ικανος δε κλαυθμος εγενετο παντων και επιπεσοντες επι τον τραχηλον του παυλου κατεφιλουν αυτον

And there developed considerable weeping of all. And having fallen on Paul's neck, they kissed him much,

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

sorrowing especially for the word that he had spoken, that they were going to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
