¹⁷ And de it happened ginomai that after meta three treis days hēmera Paul autos called synkaleō together the ho leaders prōtos of the ho Jews Ioudaios. And de when they autos gathered synerchomai, he said legō to pros them autos: “ My brothers anēr, though poieō I egō have done poieō nothing oudeis against enantion our ho people laos or ē the ho customs ethos of our ho fathers patrōos, yet I was delivered paradidōmi as a prisoner desmios from ek Jerusalem Hierosolyma into eis the ho hands cheir of the ho Romans Rhōmaios. ¹⁸ They hostis examined anakrinō me egō and wanted boulomai to release apolyō me, because dia · ho there was hyparchō no mēdeis basis aitia for a death thanatos sentence against en me egō. ¹⁹ But de when the ho Jews Ioudaios objected antilegō, I was compelled anankazō to appeal epikaleō to Caesar Kaisar, but not ou as hōs though I had echō some tis charge to bring against katēgoreō · ho my own egō people ethnos. ²⁰ For dia this houtos reason , therefore oun, · ho I have parakaleō asked aitia to see you hymeis and kai speak proslaleō with you, since gar it is because of the ho hope elpis of ho Israel Israēl that I wear perikeimai · ho this houtos chain halysis.” ²¹ And de they ho said legō to pros him autos, “ We hēmeis have received dechomai no oute letters gramma from apo Judea Ioudaia about peri you sy, · ho nor oute have any tis of the ho brothers adelphos come from there paraginomai and reported apangellō or ē spoken laleō any tis bad ponēros about peri you sy. ²² But de we desire axioō to hear akouō from para you sy what hos you think phroneō, for gar with peri regard to · ho this houtos sect hairesis it is eimi known gnōstos to us hēmeis that hoti everywhere pantachou it is spoken antilegō against .”

²³ When they had arranged tassō · de a day hēmera to meet with him autos, many polys came erchomai to pros him autos at eis his ho lodging xenia, and he expounded ektithēmi to them hos, testifying diamartyromai to the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos and te trying peithō to convince them autos about peri · ho Jesus Iēsous both te from apo the ho Law nomos of Moses Mōysēs and kai from the ho Prophets prophētēs, from apo morning prōi till heōs evening hespera. ²⁴ And kai some ho men were convinced peithō by what ho he said legō, but de others ho refused apisteō to believe . ²⁵ And de not being eimi in harmony asymphōnos among pros themselves allēlōn, they departed apolyō after Paul Paulos made legō · ho one heis further statement rhēma. “ The ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma · ho was right kalōs in saying laleō to pros your hymeis fathers patēr through dia Isaiah ēsaias the ho prophet prophētēs: · ho ²⁶ “‘ Go poreuō to pros · ho this houtos people laos, and kai say legō, “ You will indeed hear akoē but kai never ou mē understand syniēmi, and kai you will indeed see blepō but kai never ou mē perceive”; ²⁷ for gar the ho heart kardia of ho this houtos people laos has become dull pachunō, and kai they hear akouō with difficultly bareōs with their ho ears ous, and kai · ho their autos eyes ophthalmos they have closed kammyō, lest mēpote they should see with their ho eyes ophthalmos and kai hear akouō with their ho ears ous and kai understand syniēmi with their ho heart kardia and kai turn epistrephō, and kai I should heal iaomai them autos.’ ²⁸ So oun let it be eimi known gnōstos to you hymeis that hoti this houtos salvation of ho God theos has been sent apostellō to the ho Gentiles ethnos; · ho even kai they autos will listen akouō.”

³⁰ Paul lived emmenō there · de two dietia whole holos years in en his idios own rented misthōma house and kai welcomed apodechomai all pas who ho came eisporeuomai to pros him autos, ³¹ proclaiming kēryssō the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos and kai teaching didaskō · ho about peri the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos with meta all pas boldness parrēsia, without hindrance akōlytōs.

³⁷ Now de on the ho next hexēs day hēmera, it so happened ginomai that when they autos had come katerchomai down from apo the ho mountain oros, a large polys crowd ochlos met synantaō him autos. ³⁸ · kai Suddenly idou a man anēr from apo the ho crowd ochlos cried boaō out , saying legō, “ Teacher didaskalos, I beg deomai you sy to look epiblepō with pity on epi · ho my egō son hyios, because hoti he is eimi my egō only monogenēs child ; ³⁹ and kai a spirit pneuma seizes lambanō him autos, and kai he suddenly exaiphnēs cries krazō out ; and kai it throws sparassō him autos into convulsions and causes him to meta foam aphros at the mouth; and kai with difficulty mogis it departs apochōreō from apo him autos, bruising syntribō him autos as it leaves. ⁴⁰ And kai I begged deomai · ho your sy disciples mathētēs to hina cast ekballō it autos out, but kai they could dynamai not ou.”

⁴¹ In answer apokrinomai · de · ho Jesus Iēsous said legō, “ O ō faithless apistos and kai perverse diastrephō generation genea, how heōs long pote am eimi I to be with pros you hymeis and kai put anechōmai up with you hymeis? Bring prosagō your sy son hyios here hōde.” · ho ⁴² While eti · de he autos was on his way proserchomai, the ho demon daimonion threw rhēgnymi him autos down and kai convulsed sysparassō him. But de Jesus Iēsous rebuked epitimaō · ho the ho unclean akathartos spirit pneuma, · ho · kai healed iaomai the ho child pais, and kai gave apodidōmi him autos back to ho his autos father patēr. ⁴³ And de all pas were astonished ekplēssō at epi the ho majesty megaleiotēs of ho God theos. While they were all pas · de still marveling thaumazō at epi everything pas he hos was doing poieō, Jesus said legō to pros · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, ⁴⁴ “ Let these houtos words logos sink tithēmi into eis · ho your hymeis ears ous: · ho For gar the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos is about mellō to be betrayed paradidōmi into eis the hands cheir of men anthrōpos.” ⁴⁵ But de they ho did not understand agnoeō · ho this houtos saying rhēma. · kai It was eimi concealed parakalyptō from apo them autos, so hina that they might not mē understand aisthanomai it autos; and kai they were afraid phobeomai to ask erōtaō him autos about peri · ho this houtos saying rhēma.

⁴⁶ An argument dialogismos arose eiserchomai · de among en them autos · ho as to which tis an of them autos might be eimi the greatest megas. ⁴⁷ · ho But de Jesus Iēsous, aware oida of the ho reasoning dialogismos of ho their autos heart kardia, took epilambanomai a child paidion, had him autos stand histēmi at para his heautou side, ⁴⁸ and kai said legō to them autos, “ Whoever hos ean receives dechomai this houtos · ho child paidion in epi · ho my egō name onoma receives dechomai me egō, and kai whoever hos an receives dechomai me egō receives dechomai him ho who sent apostellō me egō. So gar the ho one who is least mikros among en you hymeis all pas, this houtos is hyparchō the one who is eimi great megas.”

⁴⁹ Answering apokrinomai, · de John Iōannēs said legō, “ Master epistatēs, we saw someone tis casting out ekballō demons daimonion in en · ho your sy name onoma, and kai we tried kōlyō to stop him autos, because hoti he does not ou follow akoloutheō you with meta us hēmeis.” ⁵⁰ Jesus Iēsous said legō · de to pros him autos, · ho “ Do not mē try kōlyō to stop him, for gar the one who hos is eimi not ou against kata you hymeis is eimi for hyper you hymeis.”
