Beginning

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.

¹² But de when eimi Gallio Galliōn was eimi proconsul anthypatos of ho Achaia Achaia, the ho Jews Ioudaios rose katephistamai up with one accord homothumadon against · ho Paul Paulos and kai brought agō him autos before epi the ho tribunal bēma, ¹³ saying legō, “ This man houtos is persuading anapeithō · ho men anthrōpos to worship sebō · ho God theos in a way contrary to para the ho law nomos.” ¹⁴ But de when Paul Paulos was about mellō · ho to open anoigō his ho mouth stoma, Gallio Galliōn said legō · ho to pros the ho Jews Ioudaios, “ If ei it were eimi a matter tis of wrongdoing adikēma or ē a serious piece ponēros of villainy rhadiourgēma, O ō Jews Ioudaios, it would an be reasonable kata logos for me to put anechōmai up with you hymeis. ¹⁵ But de if ei the questions zētēma are eimi about peri a word logos and kai names onoma and kai your hymeis own ho law nomos, see horaō to it yourselves autos. I egō do boulomai not ou wish boulomai to be eimi a judge kritēs of these matters houtos.” ¹⁶ And kai he drove apelaunō them autos from apo the ho tribunal bēma. ¹⁷ And de they all pas took epilambanomai hold of Sosthenes Sōsthenēs, the ho ruler archisynagōgos of the synagogue , and began to beat typtō him in front emprosthen of the ho tribunal bēma. But kai none oudeis of these houtos things were of concern melei to ho Gallio Galliōn.

¹⁸ · ho · de Paul Paulos, after remaining prosmenō there for a number of hikanos days hēmera, said farewell apotassō to the ho brothers adelphos and sailed ekpleō away to eis · ho Syria Syria, and kai with syn him autos were Priscilla Priskilla and kai Aquila Akylas. At en Cenchreae Kenchreai he had his ho head kephalē shaved keirō, for gar he had taken echō a vow euchē. ¹⁹ And de they went katantaō to eis Ephesus Ephesos, and he left kataleipō them kakeinos there autou but de he himself autos went eiserchomai into eis the ho synagogue synagōgē and reasoned dialegomai with the ho Jews Ioudaios. ²⁰ When they autos asked erōtaō · de him to stay menō a longer polys time chronos, he would not ou consent epineuō ²¹ but alla bade apotassō farewell , · kai saying legō, “ I will come anakamptō back to pros you hymeis again palin, · ho God theos willing thelō.” Then he set anagō sail from apo · ho Ephesus Ephesos, ²² and kai when he touched katerchomai land at eis Caesarea Kaisareia, he went anabainō up and kai greeted aspazomai the ho church ekklēsia and then went katabainō down to eis Antioch Antiocheia. ²³ · kai After spending poieō some tis time chronos there, he departed exerchomai and made dierchomai his way from kathexēs place to place through the ho Galatian Galatikos country chōra and kai Phrygia Phrygia, strengthening epistērizō all pas the ho disciples mathētēs.

²⁴ Now de a tis Jew Ioudaios named onoma Apollos Apollōs, an Alexandrian Alexandreus by ho race genos, arrived katantaō in eis Ephesus Ephesos. He was an eloquent logios man anēr, well-versed dynatos eimi in en the ho Scriptures graphē. ²⁵ He houtos had eimi been instructed katēcheō in the ho way hodos of the ho Lord kyrios; and kai being zeō fervent in ho spirit pneuma, he spoke laleō and kai taught didaskō accurately akribōs the ho facts about peri · ho Jesus Iēsous, though he knew epistamai only monon the ho baptism baptisma of John Iōannēs. ²⁶ He houtos began archō to speak parrēsiazomai boldly in en the ho synagogue synagōgē, but de when they heard akouō him autos, Priscilla Priskilla and kai Aquila Akylas took proslambanō him autos and kai explained ektithēmi more accurately akribōs to him autos the ho way hodos of ho God theos. ²⁷ And de when he autos wanted boulomai to continue dierchomai on into eis · ho Achaia Achaia, the ho brothers adelphos encouraged protrepō him and wrote graphō to the ho disciples mathētēs to welcome apodechomai him autos. When he hos arrived paraginomai there, he greatly polys helped symballō those ho who had come to believe pisteuō through dia · ho grace charis, ²⁸ for gar he diakatelenchomai powerfully eutonōs refuted diakatelenchomai the ho Jews Ioudaios in public dēmosios, demonstrating epideiknymi by dia the ho Scriptures graphē that Jesus Iēsous was eimi the ho Messiah Christos.

19 And de it happened ginomai that while en · ho Apollos Apollōs was eimi at en Corinth Korinthos, Paul Paulos went dierchomai through the ho inland anōterikos regions meros and came erchomai to eis Ephesus Ephesos. · kai There he found heuriskō some tis disciples mathētēs ² and te said legō to pros them autos, “ Did you receive lambanō the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma when you believed pisteuō?” They ho · de said to pros him autos, “ Why alla, we have akouō not oude even heard akouō if ei there is eimi a Holy hagios Spirit pneuma.” ³ So te Paul asked legō, “ Into eis what tis then oun were you baptized baptizō?” And de they ho replied legō, “ Into eis the ho baptism baptisma of John Iōannēs.” ⁴ Paul Paulos said legō, · de “ John Iōannēs baptized baptizō with a baptism baptisma of repentance metanoia, telling legō the ho people laos to hina believe pisteuō in eis the ho one coming erchomai after meta him autos, that houtos is eimi, in eis · ho Jesus Iēsous.” ⁵ Upon hearing akouō this, · de they were baptized baptizō in eis the ho name onoma of the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous. ⁶ And kai when Paul Paulos laid epitithēmi his ho hands cheir on them autos, · ho the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma came erchomai · ho on epi them autos, and te they spoke laleō in tongues glōssa and kai prophesied prophēteuō. ⁷ And de the ho men anēr were eimi in all pas about hōsei twelve dōdeka.

⁸ And de he went eiserchomai into eis the ho synagogue synagōgē and spoke parrēsiazomai boldly for epi three treis months mēn, reasoning dialegomai and kai persuading peithō them concerning peri the ho things of the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos. ⁹ But de when hōs some tis became stubborn sklērynō and kai refused apeitheō to believe, speaking kakologeō evil of the ho Way hodos before enōpion the ho congregation plēthos, he withdrew aphistēmi from apo them autos, taking aphorizō the ho disciples mathētēs with him, and continued daily kata hēmera to discourse dialegomai in en the ho lecture scholē hall of Tyrannus Tyrannos. ¹⁰ This houtos · de went ginomai on for epi two dyo years etos, so hōste that all pas the ho residents katoikeō of · ho Asia Asia heard akouō the ho word logos of the ho Lord kyrios, both te Jews Ioudaios and kai Greeks Hellēn.

¹¹ They were no ou ordinary tynchanō miracles dynamis · ho that · ho God theos was doing poieō by dia the ho hands cheir of Paul Paulos, ¹² so hōste that · kai handkerchiefs soudarion and ē aprons simikinthion were carried apopherō off from apo · ho his autos body chrōs for epi the ho sick astheneō, and kai diseases nosos were driven apallassō away by apo them autos · ho · ho and te evil ponēros spirits pneuma · ho came ekporeuomai out . ¹³ But de some tis also kai of the ho itinerant perierchomai Jews Ioudaios, exorcists exorkistēs, tried epicheireō to invoke onomazō the ho name onoma of the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous over epi those ho having echō · ho evil ponēros spirits pneuma, · ho saying legō, “ I adjure horkizō you hymeis by that ho Jesus Iēsous whom hos Paul Paulos proclaims kēryssō.” ¹⁴ There were eimi · de seven hepta sons hyios of a tis man named Sceva Skeuas, a Jewish Ioudaios high archiereus priest , who were doing poieō this houtos. ¹⁵ But de the ho evil ponēros spirit pneuma answering apokrinomai · ho said legō to them autos, · ho “ Jesus Iēsous I know ginōskō, and kai · ho Paul Paulos I recognize epistamai, but de who tis are eimi you hymeis?” ¹⁶ And kai the ho man anthrōpos in en whom hos was eimi the ho evil ponēros spirit pneuma · ho leaped ephallomai on epi them autos, took katakyrieuō control and overpowered ischuō all amphoteroi seven of kata them autos, so hōste that they fled ekpheugō, naked gymnos and kai wounded traumatizō, out ek of · ho that ekeinos house oikos. ¹⁷ And de this houtos became ginomai known gnōstos to all pas the Jews Ioudaios and kai Greeks Hellēn who ho lived katoikeō in · ho Ephesus Ephesos. And kai fear phobos fell epipiptō upon epi them autos all pas, and kai the ho name onoma of the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous was exalted megalynō. ¹⁸ Also te many polys of ho those who had become believers pisteuō kept coming erchomai, confessing exomologeomai and kai divulging anangellō · ho their autos practices praxis. ¹⁹ And de a number hikanos of ho those who had practiced prassō · ho magic periergos arts collected sympherō their ho books biblos and burned katakaiō them up in enōpion the sight of all pas. And kai they calculated sympsēphizō the ho value timē of them autos and kai found heuriskō it to be fifty thousand myrias pieces of silver argyrion. ²⁰ So houtōs the ho word logos of the ho Lord kyrios continued to spread auxanō and kai grow ischuō in kata power kratos.

²¹ Now de after hōs all these things houtos had taken plēroō place , Paul Paulos resolved tithēmi · ho in en · ho spirit pneuma to pass dierchomai through · ho Macedonia Makedonia and kai Achaia Achaia and go poreuō on to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma, saying legō, “ After meta · ho I egō have been ginomai there ekei, I egō must dei also kai see Rome Rhōmē.” ²² So de after sending apostellō to eis · ho Macedonia Makedonia two dyo of those ho who were helping diakoneō him autos, Timothy Timotheos and kai Erastus Erastos, he himself autos stayed epechō for a time chronos in eis · ho Asia Asia.

²³ About kata that ekeinos time kairos there broke out ginomai · de · ho no ou little oligos disturbance tarachos concerning peri the ho Way hodos. ²⁴ For gar a man tis named onoma Demetrius Dēmētrios, a silversmith argyrokopos, who made poieō silver argyrous shrines naos of Artemis Artemis, brought parechō no ou little oligos business ergasia to the ho craftsmen technitēs. ²⁵ He called them hos together synathroizō with kai · ho workmen ergatēs in peri · ho similar toioutos trades, and said legō, “ Men anēr, you know epistamai that hoti from ek this houtos · ho trade ergasia · ho prosperity euporia comes eimi to us hēmeis. ²⁶ And kai you see theōreō and kai hear akouō that hoti not ou only monon in Ephesus Ephesos but alla in almost schedon all pas of ho Asia Asia · ho this houtos Paul Paulos has persuaded peithō and turned methistēmi away a considerable hikanos number ochlos of people , saying legō that hoti gods ho made ginomai by dia hand cheir are eimi not ou gods theos at all. ²⁷ There is danger kindyneuō not ou only monon · de that this houtos trade meros of ours hēmeis · ho will fall erchomai into eis disrepute apelegmos, but alla also kai that the ho temple hieron of the ho great megas goddess thea Artemis Artemis is in danger of being regarded logizomai as eis worthless outheis and te her autos magnificence megaleiotēs in danger of mellō · kai being destroyed kathaireō, · ho she whom hos all holos · ho Asia Asia and kai the ho world oikoumenē worship sebō.”

²⁸ When they heard akouō · de · kai this, they were ginomai filled plērēs with anger thumos and began to cry krazō out , saying legō, “ Great megas is · ho Artemis Artemis of the Ephesians Ephesios!” ²⁹ So kai the ho city polis was filled pimplēmi with the ho confusion synchusis, and te they rushed hormaō with a single homothumadon purpose into eis the ho theater theatron, dragging synarpazō with them Gaius Gaios and kai Aristarchus Aristarchos, Macedonians Makedōn, traveling-companions synekdēmos of Paul Paulos. ³⁰ But de when Paul Paulos wanted boulomai to go eiserchomai in among eis the ho people dēmos, the ho disciples mathētēs would not ou let eaō him autos. ³¹ And de also kai some tis of the ho Asiarchs Asiarchēs, being eimi friendly philos to him autos, sent pempō to pros him autos and urged parakaleō him not mē to commit didōmi himself heautou to eis the ho theater theatron. ³² So then oun some allos were shouting krazō one allos thing tis, some another, for gar the ho assembly ekklēsia was eimi in confusion syncheō, and kai · ho most polys of them did not ou know oida why tis they had assembled synerchomai. ³³ And de some ek of the ho crowd ochlos prompted symbibazō Alexander Alexandros, the ho Jews Ioudaios pushing proballō him autos forward. · ho And de Alexander Alexandros motioned kataseiō with his ho hand cheir and wanted thelō to make apologeomai a defense to the ho crowd dēmos. ³⁴ But de when they recognized epiginōskō that hoti he was eimi a Jew Ioudaios, a single heis cry phōnē went ginomai up from ek them pas all as hōs they cried out krazō for about epi two dyo hours hōra, “ Great megas is · ho Artemis Artemis of the Ephesians Ephesios!” ³⁵ And de when the ho city clerk grammateus had quieted katastellō the ho crowd ochlos, he said phēmi, “ Men anēr of Ephesus Ephesios, what tis man anthrōpos is eimi there who hos does not ou know ginōskō that the ho city polis of the Ephesians Ephesios is eimi the temple neōkoros keeper of the ho great megas Artemis Artemis and kai of ho her image that fell from heaven diopetēs? ³⁶ So oun, since these things houtos are eimi indisputable anantirrētos, you hymeis must dei eimi be hyparchō quiet katastellō and kai do prassō nothing mēdeis rash propetēs. ³⁷ For gar you have brought agō · ho these houtos men anēr, who are neither oute temple hierosylos robbers nor oute blasphemers blasphēmeō against · ho our hēmeis goddess theos. ³⁸ If ei then oun Demetrius Dēmētrios and kai the ho craftsmen technitēs with syn him autos have echō a complaint logos against pros anyone tis, the courts agoraios are open agō, and kai there are eimi proconsuls anthypatos. Let them bring charges enkaleō against one allēlōn another there. ³⁹ But de if ei you want epizēteō anything tis in addition peraiterō, it shall be settled epilyō in en the ho legal ennomos assembly ekklēsia. ⁴⁰ For gar indeed kai we are in danger kindyneuō of being charged enkaleō in connection peri with this ho day’ s sēmeron riot stasis, there being hyparchō no mēdeis cause aitios for peri it hos; and we will not ou be able dynamai to give apodidōmi an explanation logos for peri · ho this houtos commotion systrophē.” And kai having said legō this houtos, he dismissed apolyō the ho assembly ekklēsia.

20 After meta · de the ho uproar thorybos ceased pauō, Paul Paulos sent metapempō for · ho the ho disciples mathētēs, and kai after encouraging parakaleō them and saying aspazomai farewell , he left exerchomai for eis Macedonia Makedonia. ² When he had gone dierchomai through · de · ho those ekeinos parts meros and kai encouraged parakaleō them autos with many polys words logos, he came erchomai to eis · ho Greece Hellas. ³ He spent poieō three treis months mēn there, and when a plot epiboulē was hatched ginomai against him autos by hypo the ho Jews Ioudaios as he was about mellō to set anagō sail for eis · ho Syria Syria, he decided ginomai to ho return hypostrephō through dia Macedonia Makedonia. ⁴ · de Sopater Sōpatros, the son of Pyrrhus Pyrros from Berea Beroiaios, went with synepomai him autos, as de did Aristarchus Aristarchos and kai Secundus Sekoundos from Thessalonians Thessalonikeus, · kai Gaius Gaios a resident of Derbe Derbaios, · kai Timothy Timotheos, and de the Asians Asianos, Tychicus Tychikos and kai Trophimus Trophimos. ⁵ These houtos men · de had gone proerchomai on ahead and were waiting menō for us hēmeis in en Troas Trōias. ⁶ We hēmeis · de sailed ekpleō away after meta the ho days hēmera of ho Unleavened azymos Bread from apo Philippi Philippoi and kai joined erchomai pros the others autos in eis · ho Troas Trōias five pente days hēmera later achri, where hopou we stayed diatribō for seven hepta days hēmera.

⁷ On en · de the ho first heis day of the ho week sabbaton, when we hēmeis had gathered synagō to break klaō bread artos, · ho Paul Paulos addressed dialegomai them autos, and since he intended mellō to leave the ho next epaurion day , he continued parateinō his ho message logos until mechri midnight mesonyktion. ⁸ There were eimi · de a number of hikanos lamps lampas in en the ho upper hyperōon room where hou we had eimi gathered synagō. ⁹ And de a tis young neanias man , named onoma Eutychus eutychos, sitting kathezomai on epi the ho window thuris ledge , was sinking katapherō into a deep bathus sleep hypnos as Paul Paulos continued to speak dialegomai · ho on and on epi. Overcome katapherō by apo · ho sleep hypnos, he fell piptō from apo the ho third tristegon floor and kai was picked airō up for dead nekros. ¹⁰ But de Paul Paulos went down katabainō · ho and threw epipiptō himself on him autos, and kai putting symperilambanō his arms around him, said legō, “ Do not mē be alarmed thorybeō, · ho for gar his autos life psychē is eimi in en him autos.” ¹¹ Then de Paul went anabainō back upstairs , and kai after he had broken klaō · ho bread artos and kai eaten geuomai, he spoke with homileō them a considerable time epi, until achri dawn augē, and so houtōs he departed exerchomai. ¹² And de they took agō the ho boy pais home alive zaō and kai were encouraged parakaleō not ou a little metriōs.

¹³ We hēmeis, then de, went proerchomai on to epi the ho ship ploion and set anagō sail for epi · ho Assos Assos, where ekeithen we planned mellō to take analambanō · ho Paul Paulos on board ; for gar he had eimi made this houtōs arrangement diatassō, intending mellō himself autos to travel pezeuō by land . ¹⁴ When hōs · de he met symballō us hēmeis at eis · ho Assos Assos, we took analambanō him autos on board and continued erchomai on to eis Mitylene Mitylēnē. ¹⁵ And from there kakeithen we sailed apopleō away on the ho following epeimi day and arrived katantaō off antikrys the shore of Chios, the ho · de next heteros day we touched paraballō at eis Samos Samos, and de the ho day after echō that we went erchomai to eis Miletus Milētos. ¹⁶ For gar Paul Paulos had decided krinō · ho to sail parapleō past · ho Ephesus Ephesos, so hopōs that he autos might not mē have ginomai to spend chronotribeō time in en · ho Asia Asia, for gar he was hastening speudō, if ei it were eimi possible dynatos for him autos, to be ginomai in eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma for the ho day hēmera of ho Pentecost pentēkostē.

¹⁷ From apo · de · ho Miletus Milētos he sent pempō to eis Ephesus Ephesos, asking metakaleō the ho elders presbyteros of the ho church ekklēsia to come to him. ¹⁸ And de when hōs they came paraginomai to pros him autos, he said legō to them autos: “You yourselves hymeis know epistamai how pōs I lived ginomai among meta you hymeis the ho whole pas time chronos from apo the first prōtos day hēmera on apo which hos I set epibainō foot in eis · ho Asia Asia, ¹⁹ serving douleuō the ho Lord kyrios with meta all pas humility tapeinophrosynē and kai with tears dakryon, · kai enduring the trials peirasmos that ho fell symbainō on me egō by en the ho plots epiboulē of the ho Jews Ioudaios; ²⁰ how hōs I did not mē hold hypostellō back · ho from proclaiming anangellō to you hymeis anything oudeis that ho would be helpful sympherō, and kai from teaching didaskō you hymeis publicly dēmosios · kai from house to house kata, ²¹ testifying diamartyromai both te to Jews Ioudaios and kai to Greeks Hellēn about · ho repentance metanoia toward eis God theos and kai about faith pistis in eis · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous. ²² And kai now nyn, compelled deō by the ho Spirit pneuma, I egō am going poreuō to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, not mē knowing oida what ho will happen synantaō to me egō there en autos, ²³ except plēn that hoti the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma · ho testifies diamartyromai to me egō, saying legō that hoti in every kata city polis imprisonment desmos and kai persecutions thlipsis are waiting for menō me egō. ²⁴ But alla I make poieō my ho life psychē of no oudeis account logos as of any value timios to me emautou, that hōs I may finish teleioō · ho my egō task dromos and kai the ho ministry diakonia that hos I received lambanō from para the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous, to testify diamartyromai to the ho good euangelion news of the ho grace charis of ho God theos.
