Actuum Apostolorum 18
1 Post hæc egressus ab Athenis, venit Corinthum:
After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
2 et inveniens quemdam Judæum nomine Aquilam, Ponticum genere, qui nuper venerat ab Italia, et Priscillam uxorem ejus (eo quod præcepisset Claudius discedere omnes Judæos a Roma), accessit ad eos.
And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them;
3 Et quia ejusdem erat artis, manebat apud eos, et operabatur. (Erant autem scenofactoriæ artis.)
and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers.
4 Et disputabat in synagoga per omne sabbatum, interponens nomen Domini Jesu: suadebatque Judæis et Græcis.
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 Cum venissent autem de Macedonia Silas et Timotheus, instabat verbo Paulus, testificans Judæis esse Christum Jesum.
But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6 Contradicentibus autem eis, et blasphemantibus, excutiens vestimenta sua, dixit ad eos: Sanguis vester super caput vestrum: mundus ego: ex hoc ad gentes vadam.
And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook out his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
7 Et migrans inde, intravit in domum cujusdam, nomine Titi Justi, colentis Deum, cujus domus erat conjuncta synagogæ.
And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8 Crispus autem archisynagogus credidit Domino cum omni domo sua: et multi Corinthiorum audientes credebant, et baptizabantur.
And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
9 Dixit autem Dominus nocte per visionem Paulo: Noli timere, sed loquere, et ne taceas:
And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
10 propter quod ego sum tecum, et nemo apponetur tibi ut noceat te: quoniam populus est mihi multus in hac civitate.
for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city.
11 Sedit autem ibi annum et sex menses, docens apud eos verbum Dei.
And he dwelt [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Gallione autem proconsule Achaiæ, insurrexerunt uno animo Judæi in Paulum, et adduxerunt eum ad tribunal,
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul, and brought him before the judgment-seat,
13 dicentes: Quia contra legem hic persuadet hominibus colere Deum.
saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 Incipiente autem Paulo aperire os, dixit Gallio ad Judæos: Si quidem esset iniquum aliquid aut facinus pessimum, o viri Judæi, recte vos sustinerem.
But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
15 Si vero quæstiones sunt de verbo, et nominibus, et lege vestra, vos ipsi videritis: judex ego horum nolo esse.
but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters.
16 Et minavit eos a tribunali.
And he drave them from the judgment-seat.
17 Apprehendentes autem omnes Sosthenem principem synagogæ, percutiebant eum ante tribunal: et nihil eorum Gallioni curæ erat.
And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.
18 Paulus vero cum adhuc sustinuisset dies multos fratribus valefaciens, navigavit in Syriam (et cum eo Priscilla et Aquila), qui sibi totonderat in Cenchris caput: habebat enim votum.
And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchreae: for he had a vow.
19 Devenitque Ephesum, et illos ibi reliquit. Ipse vero ingressus synagogam, disputabat cum Judæis.
And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Rogantibus autem eis ut ampliori tempore maneret, non consensit,
And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not;
21 sed valefaciens, et dicens: Iterum revertar ad vos, Deo volente: profectus est ab Epheso.
but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you, if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Et descendens Cæsaream, ascendit, et salutavit ecclesiam, et descendit Antiochiam.
And when he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and saluted the church, and went down to Antioch.
23 Et facto ibi aliquanto tempore profectus est, perambulans ex ordine Galaticam regionem, et Phrygiam, confirmans omnes discipulos.
And having spent some time [there], he departed, and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, stablishing all the disciples.
24 Judæus autem quidam, Apollo nomine, Alexandrinus genere, vir eloquens, devenit Ephesum, potens in scripturis.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, a learned man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.
25 Hic erat edoctus viam Domini: et fervens spiritu loquebatur, et docebat diligenter ea quæ sunt Jesu, sciens tantum baptisma Joannis.
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught carefully the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John:
26 Hic ergo cœpit fiducialiter agere in synagoga. Quem cum audissent Priscilla et Aquila, assumpserunt eum, et diligentius exposuerunt ei viam Domini.
and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more carefully.
27 Cum autem vellet ire Achaiam, exhortati fratres, scripserunt discipulis ut susciperent eum. Qui cum venisset, contulit multum his qui crediderant.
And when he was minded to pass over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he was come, he helped them much which had believed through grace:
28 Vehementer enim Judæos revincebat publice, ostendens per Scripturas esse Christum Jesum.
for he powerfully confuted the Jews, [and that] publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
