¹⁵ After meta · de · ho these houtos days hēmera we got episkeuazomai ready and started anabainō up to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma. ¹⁶ And de · kai some of the ho disciples mathētēs from apo Caesarea Kaisareia came synerchomai with syn us hēmeis, bringing agō Mnason Mnasōn of Cyprus Kyprios, an tis early archaios disciple mathētēs, with para whom hos we should lodge xenizō. ¹⁷ When we hēmeis arrived ginomai · de in eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma, the ho brothers adelphos welcomed apodechomai us hēmeis gladly asmenōs.

¹⁸ On the ho · de following epeimi day Paul Paulos went eiseimi · ho with syn us hēmeis to pros James Iakōbos, and te all pas the ho elders presbyteros were present paraginomai. ¹⁹ · kai After he greeted aspazomai them autos, he began to relate exēgeomai one hekastos by kata one heis what hos God theos had done poieō · ho among en the ho Gentiles ethnos through dia · ho his autos ministry diakonia. ²⁰ And de when they ho heard akouō it, they began to praise doxazō · ho God theos. And te they said legō to him autos, “ You see theōreō, brother adelphos, how posos many thousands myrias of ho believers pisteuō there are eimi among en the ho Jews Ioudaios, and kai they are hyparchō all pas zealous zēlōtēs for the ho law nomos. ²¹ But de they were told katēcheō about peri you sy that hoti you are teaching didaskō all pas the ho Jews Ioudaios who are among kata the ho Gentiles ethnos to forsake apostasia Moses Mōysēs, telling legō them autos not mē to circumcise peritemnō their ho children teknon and mēde not to walk according to peripateō our ho customs ethos. ²² What tis then oun is eimi to be done? They will certainly pantōs hear akouō that hoti you have come erchomai. ²³ Therefore oun, do poieō what hos we tell legō you sy. There are eimi with us hēmeis four tessares men anēr who have taken echō upon epi themselves heautou a vow euchē. ²⁴ Take paralambanō these houtos men and purify hagnizō yourself along syn with them autos and kai pay their autos expenses dapanaō that hina they may shave xyraō their ho heads kephalē, and kai everyone pas will know ginōskō that hoti there is eimi nothing oudeis in what hos they have been told katēcheō about peri you sy, but alla that you yourself autos walk stoicheō · kai keeping phylassō the ho law nomos. ²⁵ But de as peri for the ho Gentiles ethnos who have believed pisteuō, we hēmeis sent epistellō a letter with our judgment krinō that they autos should abstain phylassō from what ho has been sacrificed eidōlothutos to idols , and kai from blood haima, and kai from what has been strangled pniktos, and kai from sexual porneia immorality .” ²⁶ Then tote · ho Paul Paulos took paralambanō the ho men anēr and on the ho next echō day hēmera he purified himself hagnizō with syn them autos and went eiseimi into eis the ho temple hieron, giving notice diangellō of the ho completion ekplērōsis of the ho days hēmera of the ho purification hagnismos, at heōs which hos time the ho sacrifice prosphora would be offered prospherō on hyper behalf of each hekastos one heis of them autos.

²⁷ · kai After meta this houtos he went exerchomai out and kai saw theaomai a tax telōnēs collector named onoma Levi Leui, sitting kathēmai at epi the ho tax telōnion booth . And kai he said legō to him autos, “ Follow akoloutheō me egō.” ²⁸ So kai leaving kataleipō everything pas, he got anistēmi up and followed akoloutheō him autos. ²⁹ And kai Levi Leui made poieō a great megas banquet dochē for him autos in en · ho his autos house oikia, and kai there was eimi a great polys crowd ochlos of tax telōnēs collectors and kai others allos who hos were eimi reclining at table katakeimai with meta them autos. ³⁰ And kai the ho Pharisees Pharisaios and kai their autos scribes grammateus were grumbling gongyzō · ho at pros · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, saying legō, “ Why dia tis do you eat esthiō and kai drink pinō with meta the ho tax telōnēs collectors and kai sinners hamartōlos?” ³¹ · kai In response apokrinomai · ho Jesus Iēsous said legō to pros them autos, “ Those ho who are healthy hygiainō have echō no ou need chreia of a doctor iatros, but alla those ho who are sick kakōs do echō; ³² I have not ou come erchomai to call kaleō righteous dikaios people , but alla sinners hamartōlos, to eis repentance metanoia.”

³³ And de they ho said legō to pros him autos, “ The ho disciples mathētēs of John Iōannēs often pyknos fast nēsteuō and kai offer poieō prayers deēsis, so homoiōs also kai do the ho disciples of the ho Pharisees Pharisaios, · ho but de yours sos continue to eat esthiō and kai drink pinō.” ³⁴ · ho So de Jesus Iēsous said legō to pros them autos, “Certainly you cannot mē make poieō the ho wedding nymphōn guests hyios · ho fast nēsteuō while en hos the ho bridegroom nymphios is eimi with meta them autos? ³⁵ The days hēmera will come erchomai · de · kai when hotan the ho bridegroom nymphios is taken apairō away from apo them autos, and then tote they will fast nēsteuō in en those ekeinos · ho days hēmera.”

³⁶ He also kai told legō · de a parable parabolē to pros them autos: “ No oudeis one tears schizō a patch epiblēma from apo a new kainos garment himation and sews epiballō it on epi an old palaios garment himation. If he does ei, · de he schizō both kai tears schizō the ho new kainos, and kai the ho patch epiblēma from apo the ho new kainos will symphōneō not ou match symphōneō the ho old palaios. · ho ³⁷ And kai no oudeis one puts ballō new neos wine oinos into eis old palaios wineskins askos. If he does ei, · de the ho new neos wine oinos will burst rhēgnymi · ho the ho skins askos and kai it autos will be spilled ekchunnomai, and kai the ho skins askos will be destroyed apollymi. ³⁸ Rather alla, new neos wine oinos is to be put blēteos into eis new kainos wineskins askos ³⁹ And kai no oudeis one drinking pinō the old palaios desires thelō the new neos; for gar he says legō, ‘ The ho old palaios is eimi good chrēstos.’”
