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.

¹⁷ And kai as he autos was going ekporeuomai out on eis the road hodos, a man heis ran prostrechō up , and kai kneeling gonypeteō before him autos, asked eperōtaō him autos, “ Good agathos teacher didaskalos, what tis must I do poieō to hina inherit klēronomeō eternal aiōnios life zōē?” ¹⁸ · ho But de Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, “ Why tis do you call legō me egō good agathos? No oudeis one is good agathos except ei mē one heis— · ho God theos. ¹⁹ You know oida the ho commandments entolē: ‘ Do not mē murder phoneuō, Do not mē commit adultery moicheuō, Do not mē steal kleptō, Do not mē bear false witness pseudomartyreō, Do not mē defraud apostereō, Honor timaō · ho your sy father patēr and kai · ho mother mētēr.’” ²⁰ And de the ho man said phēmi to him autos, “ Teacher didaskalos, all pas these houtos I have kept phylassō from ek my egō youth neotēs.” ²¹ · ho But de Jesus Iēsous, looking blepō at him autos, loved agapaō him autos and kai said legō to him autos, “ You sy lack hystereō one heis thing — go hypagō, sell pōleō whatever hosos you have echō and kai give didōmi the money to the ho poor ptōchos; then kai you will have echō treasure thēsauros in en heaven ouranos. And kai come deuro, follow akoloutheō me egō.” ²² · de Disheartened stygnazō by epi the ho saying logos, the ho man went aperchomai away grieving lypeō; for gar he eimi had echō many polys possessions ktēma.

²³ And kai looking periblepō around , · ho Jesus Iēsous said legō to ho his autos disciples mathētēs, “ How pōs difficult dyskolōs it is for those ho · ho who have echō wealth chrēma to enter eiserchomai the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos.” ²⁴ The ho · de disciples mathētēs were shocked thambeō at epi · ho his autos words logos. · ho But de Jesus Iēsous, responding apokrinomai again palin, said legō to them autos, “ Children teknon, how pōs difficult dyskolos it is eimi to enter eiserchomai the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos! ²⁵ It is eimi easier eukopos for a camel kamēlos to pass dierchomai through dia the ho eye trymalia of ho a needle rhaphis than ē for someone who is rich plousios to enter eiserchomai the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos.” ²⁶ They ho · de were even perissōs more astonished ekplēssō, saying legō to pros themselves heautou, “ Then kai who tis is able dynamai to be saved sōzō?” ²⁷ Looking emblepō at them autos, · ho Jesus Iēsous said legō, “ With para man anthrōpos it is impossible adynatos, but alla not ou with para God theos; for gar all pas things are possible dynatos with para · ho God theos.”

²⁸ Peter Petros started archō to speak legō · ho to him autos, “ Well idou, we hēmeis have left aphiēmi everything pas and kai have followed akoloutheō you sy.” ²⁹ Jesus Iēsous said phēmi, · ho “ I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, there is eimi no oudeis one who hos has left aphiēmi home oikia or ē brothers adelphos or ē sisters adelphē or ē mother mētēr or ē father patēr or ē children teknon or ē fields agros for my egō sake and kai for the sake of the ho gospel euangelion ³⁰ who will not mē receive lambanō one hundredfold hekatontaplasiōn now nyn in en · ho this houtos present kairos time — houses oikia and kai brothers adelphos and kai sisters adelphē and kai mothers mētēr and kai children teknon and kai fields agros, with meta persecutions diōgmos— and kai in en the ho coming erchomai age aiōn, · ho eternal aiōnios life zōē. ³¹ But de many polys who are first prōtos will be eimi last eschatos, and kai the ho last eschatos will be first prōtos.”
