18 After meta this houtos Paul departed chōrizō from ek · ho Athens and went erchomai to eis Corinth Korinthos. ² And kai finding heuriskō a certain tis Jew Ioudaios named onoma Aquila Akylas, a native genos of Pontus Pontikos, · ho recently prosphatōs come erchomai from apo · ho Italy Italia with kai his autos wife gynē Priscilla Priskilla because dia · ho Claudius Klaudios had commanded diatassō all pas the ho Jews Ioudaios to depart chōrizō from apo · ho Rome Rhōmē, he approached proserchomai them autos, ³ and kai because dia he was eimi of the same homotechnos trade he stayed menō with para them autos and kai worked ergazomai, for gar they were eimi tentmakers skēnopoios by ho trade technē. ⁴ And de he reasoned dialegomai in en the ho synagogue synagōgē every kata pas Sabbath sabbaton and te tried peithō to persuade Jews Ioudaios and kai Greeks Hellēn.

⁵ When hōs · de Silas Silas and kai Timothy Timotheos came katerchomai down from apo · ho Macedonia Makedonia, · ho · ho Paul Paulos was wholly absorbed synechō with preaching the ho word logos, · ho testifying diamartyromai to the ho Jews Ioudaios that Jesus Iēsous was eimi the ho Messiah Christos. ⁶ But de when they autos opposed antitassō and kai reviled blasphēmeō him, he shook ektinassō out his ho garments himation and said legō to pros them autos, · ho “ Your hymeis blood haima be on epi · ho your own hymeis head kephalē! I egō am guiltless katharos. From apo · ho now nyn on I will go poreuō to eis the ho Gentiles ethnos.” ⁷ And kai he left metabainō there ekeithen and went eiserchomai to eis the house oikia of one tis named onoma Titius Titios Justus Ioustos, a worshiper sebō of · ho God theos, whose hos · ho house oikia was eimi next synomoreō door to the ho synagogue synagōgē. ⁸ Crispus Krispos, · de the ho ruler archisynagōgos of the synagogue , believed pisteuō in the ho Lord kyrios, together syn with his autos entire holos · ho household oikos; and kai many polys of the ho Corinthians Korinthios upon hearing akouō about it, believed pisteuō and kai were baptized baptizō. ⁹ And de the ho Lord kyrios said legō to ho Paul Paulos during en the night nyx in dia a vision horama, “ Do not mē be afraid phobeomai, but alla go on speaking laleō and kai do not mē be silent siōpaō, ¹⁰ because dioti I egō am eimi with meta you sy and kai no oudeis one will lay epitithēmi a hand on you sy to ho do you sy harm kakoō, for dioti I egō have eimi many polys people laos in en · ho this houtos city polis.” ¹¹ So de he stayed kathizō there a year eniautos and kai six hex months mēn, teaching didaskō among en them autos the ho word logos of ho God theos.

1 Inasmuch epeidēper as many polys have taken epicheireō it in hand to compile anatassomai a narrative diēgēsis concerning peri the ho things pragma that have been accomplished plērophoreō among en us hēmeis, ² just kathōs as those ho who were, from apo the beginning archē, eyewitnesses autoptēs and kai became ginomai ministers hypēretēs of the ho word logos, have delivered paradidōmi it to us hēmeis, ³ it seemed dokeō good to me kagō also , having carefully akribōs investigated parakoloutheō everything pas for a long anōthen time , to write down graphō the events in an orderly kathexēs sequence for you sy, most excellent kratistos Theophilus Theophilos, ⁴ so hina that you may know epiginōskō the ho truth asphaleia about peri the things logos that hos you have been taught katēcheō.

3 In en the fifteenth pentekaidekatos year etos · de of the ho reign hēgemonia of Tiberius Tiberios Caesar Kaisar, when Pontius Pontios Pilate Pilatos was governing hēgemoneuō · ho Judea Ioudaia, and kai Herod hērōdēs was tetrarch tetraarcheō of ho Galilee Galilaia and de Philip Philippos · ho his autos brother adelphos tetrarch tetraarcheō of the ho region chōra of Ituraea Itouraios and kai Trachonitis Trachōnitis, and kai Lysanias Lysanias was tetrarch tetraarcheō of ho Abilene Abilēnē, ² when epi Annas Hannas was high archiereus priest , and kai Caiaphas Kaiaphas, the word rhēma of God theos came ginomai upon epi John Iōannēs the ho son hyios of Zechariah Zacharias in en the ho wilderness erēmos. ³ And kai he went erchomai into eis the ho region all pas around perichōros the ho Jordan Iordanēs, proclaiming kēryssō a baptism baptisma of repentance metanoia for eis the forgiveness aphesis of sins hamartia. ⁴ As hōs it is written graphō in en the book biblos of the words logos of Isaiah ēsaias the ho prophet prophētēs, “The voice phōnē of one calling boaō out in en the ho wilderness erēmos: ‘ Prepare hetoimazō the ho way hodos for the Lord kyrios, make poieō the ho paths tribos straight for him autos. ⁵ Every pas ravine pharanx will be filled plēroō in and kai every pas mountain oros and kai hill bounos will be leveled tapeinoō off ; · kai the ho crooked places skolios will become eimi straight and kai the ho rough trachus places will become smooth leios roads hodos. ⁶ Then kai will all pas flesh sarx see horaō the ho salvation of ho God theos!’”
