Πραξεις 20
1 μετα δε το παυσασθαι τον θορυβον μεταπεμψαμενος ο παυλος τους μαθητας και παρακαλεσας ασπασαμενος εξηλθεν πορευεσθαι εις μακεδονιαν
THEN after the tumult was quieted, Paul called to him the disciples, and taking his leave, departed to go into Macedonia.
2 διελθων δε τα μερη εκεινα και παρακαλεσας αυτους λογω πολλω ηλθεν εις την ελλαδα
And passing through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he went 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 after three months stay, as the Jews were lying in wait for him, when he was just embarking for Syria, he determined 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 of Derbe, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus, Asiatics.
5 ουτοι δε {VAR1: προσελθοντες } {VAR2: προελθοντες } εμενον ημας εν τρωαδι
These going before tarried for 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 from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas after 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 on the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled to break bread, Paul preached unto them (ready to depart on the morrow), and extended his discourse until midnight.
8 ησαν δε λαμπαδες ικαναι εν τω υπερωω ου ημεν συνηγμενοι
Now there were many lamps in the upper room, where they were assembled.
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 youth named Eutytchus, who sat in the window, fell into a profound sleep: as Paul discoursed much longer than usual, quite overpowered with sleep, he fell down from a third story, 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 came down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Trouble not yourselves, for his life is yet in him.
11 αναβας δε {VAR1: [και] } {VAR2: και } κλασας τον αρτον και γευσαμενος εφ ικανον τε ομιλησας αχρις αυγης ουτως εξηλθεν
And when he had gone up, and broken bread, and eaten, and conversed a long time, even to the break of day, he then departed.
12 ηγαγον δε τον παιδα ζωντα και παρεκληθησαν ου μετριως
And they brought the lad alive, and were comforted exceedingly.
13 ημεις δε προελθοντες επι το πλοιον ανηχθημεν επι την ασσον εκειθεν μελλοντες αναλαμβανειν τον παυλον ουτως γαρ διατεταγμενος ην μελλων αυτος πεζευειν
Then we going before to the ship, sailed for Assos, intending there to take in Paul: for so he had ordered, meaning himself to walk thither.
14 ως δε συνεβαλλεν ημιν εις την ασσον αναλαβοντες αυτον ηλθομεν εις μιτυληνην
And when he met us at Assos, we took him up, and came to Mytelene.
15 κακειθεν αποπλευσαντες τη επιουση κατηντησαμεν αντικρυς χιου τη δε ετερα παρεβαλομεν εις σαμον τη δε εχομενη ηλθομεν εις μιλητον
And sailing from thence, on the following day we advanced over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos, and staying at Trogyllium, the day following 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 had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened on, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 απο δε της μιλητου πεμψας εις εφεσον μετεκαλεσατο τους πρεσβυτερους της εκκλησιας
So he sent to Ephesus from Miletus, and called the presbyters of the church to attend him.
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 unto them, Ye know, from the very first day in which I entered into Asia, how I have been among you at every season,
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 with many tears and trials, which have befallen me through the lying in wait of the Jews:
20 ως ουδεν υπεστειλαμην των συμφεροντων του μη αναγγειλαι υμιν και διδαξαι υμας δημοσια και κατ οικους
and that I have suppressed nothing which could conduce to your profiting; not desisting from preaching to you, and teaching 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
repeatedly urging both on Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.
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 am going, bound by the Spirit, unto Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall there befal me:
23 πλην οτι το πνευμα το αγιον κατα πολιν διαμαρτυρεται μοι λεγον οτι δεσμα και θλιψεις με μενουσιν
only this, that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and tribulation await thee.
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
Yet I make no account of any suffering, nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully the Gospel 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 know that ye shall see my face no more, even ye all, among whom I have gone in and out preaching the kingdom of God.
26 διοτι μαρτυρομαι υμιν εν τη σημερον ημερα οτι καθαρος ειμι απο του αιματος παντων
Wherefore I appeal to you this day as witnesses that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 ου γαρ υπεστειλαμην του μη αναγγειλαι πασαν την βουλην του θεου υμιν
For I have concealed nothing, so as not repeatedly to declare to you the whole counsel 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, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed as shepherds the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.
29 εγω οιδα οτι εισελευσονται μετα την αφιξιν μου λυκοι βαρεις εις υμας μη φειδομενοι του ποιμνιου
For this I know, that after my departure there will come among you grievous wolves, 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 }
Yea, from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverting doctrines, to draw away disciples after them.
31 διο γρηγορειτε μνημονευοντες οτι τριετιαν νυκτα και ημεραν ουκ επαυσαμην μετα δακρυων νουθετων ενα εκαστον
Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, by night and by day, I have never ceased with tears to admonish every individual.
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, brethren, I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to finish the superstructure, and to give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
33 αργυριου η χρυσιου η ιματισμου ουδενος επεθυμησα
The silver, or gold, or apparel of no man have I coveted:
34 αυτοι γινωσκετε οτι ταις χρειαις μου και τοις ουσιν μετ εμου υπηρετησαν αι χειρες αυται
but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for 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
In all things I have set you the example, that so labouring hard ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because 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 when he had spoken these things, he fell on his knees, and prayed with them all.
37 ικανος δε κλαυθμος εγενετο παντων και επιπεσοντες επι τον τραχηλον του παυλου κατεφιλουν αυτον
And all of them shed floods of tears, and fell upon Paul’s neck, and kissed him again and again,
38 οδυνωμενοι μαλιστα επι τω λογω ω ειρηκει οτι ουκετι μελλουσιν το προσωπον αυτου θεωρειν προεπεμπον δε αυτον εις το πλοιον
most peculiarly afflicted at that word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more: and they accompanied him unto the ship.
