New Testament

Acts 14

1Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.

εγενετο δε εν ικονιω κατα το αυτο εισελθειν αυτους εις την συναγωγην των ιουδαιων και λαλησαι ουτως ωστε πιστευσαι ιουδαιων τε και ελληνων πολυ πληθος.

2But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren.

οι δε απειθουντες ιουδαιοι επηγειραν και εκακωσαν τας ψυχας των εθνων κατα των αδελφων.

3Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

ικανον μεν ουν χρονον διετριψαν παρρησιαζομενοι επι τω κυριω τω μαρτυρουντι τω λογω της χαριτος αυτου, διδοντι σημεια και τερατα γινεσθαι δια των χειρων αυτων.

4But the multitude of the city was divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

εσχισθη δε το πληθος της πολεως, και οι μεν ησαν συν τοις ιουδαιοις, οι δε συν τοις αποστολοις.

5And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and stone them,

ως δε εγενετο ορμη των εθνων τε και ιουδαιων συν τοις αρχουσιν αυτων υβρισαι και λιθοβολησαι αυτους,

6they became aware of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region.

συνιδοντες κατεφυγον εις τας πολεις της λυκαονιας λυστραν και δερβην και την περιχωρον,

7And they were preaching the gospel there.

κακει ησαν ευαγγελιζομενοι.

8And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

και τις ανηρ εν λυστροις αδυνατος τοις ποσιν εκαθητο, χωλος εκ κοιλιας μητρος αυτου υπαρχων, ος ουδεποτε περιπεπατηκει.

9This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

ουτος ηκουσεν του παυλου λαλουντος· ος ατενισας αυτω και ιδων οτι πιστιν εχει του σωθηναι,

10said with a loud voice, 'Stand up straight on your feet!' And he leaped and walked.

ειπεν μεγαλη τη φωνη· αναστηθι επι τους ποδας σου ορθος. και ηλατο και περιεπατει.

11Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, 'The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!'

οι δε οχλοι ιδοντες ο εποιησεν ο παυλος επηραν την φωνην αυτων λυκαονιστι λεγοντες· οι θεοι ομοιωθεντες ανθρωποις κατεβησαν προς ημας·

12And Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.

εκαλουν τε τον μεν βαρναβαν δια, τον δε παυλον ερμην, επειδη αυτος ην ο ηγουμενος του λογου.

13Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, intending to sacrifice with the multitudes.

ο δε ιερευς του διος του οντος προ της πολεως αυτων, ταυρους και στεμματα επι τους πυλωνας ενεγκας, συν τοις οχλοις ηθελεν θυειν.

14But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out

ακουσαντες δε οι αποστολοι βαρναβας και παυλος, διαρρηξαντες τα ιματια αυτων εισεπηδησαν εις τον οχλον κραζοντες

15and saying, 'Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,

και λεγοντες· ανδρες, τι ταυτα ποιειτε; και ημεις ομοιοπαθεις εσμεν υμιν ανθρωποι, ευαγγελιζομενοι υμας απο τουτων των ματαιων επιστρεφειν επι τον θεον τον ζωντα, ος εποιησεν τον ουρανον και την γην και την θαλασσαν και παντα τα εν αυτοις·

16who in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways.

ος εν ταις παρωχημεναις γενεαις ειασεν παντα τα εθνη πορευεσθαι ταις οδοις αυτων·

17Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.'

καιτοι γε ουκ αμαρτυρον εαυτον αφηκεν αγαθοποιων, ουρανοθεν υμιν υετους διδους και καιρους καρποφορους, εμπιπλων τροφης και ευφροσυνης τας καρδιας υμων.

18And with these sayings they could scarcely restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

και ταυτα λεγοντες μολις κατεπαυσαν τους οχλους του μη θυειν αυτοις.

19Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

επηλθον δε απο αντιοχειας και ικονιου ιουδαιοι, και πεισαντες τους οχλους και λιθασαντες τον παυλον εσυραν εξω της πολεως, νομισαντες αυτον τεθναναι.

20However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

κυκλωσαντων δε αυτον των μαθητων αναστας εισηλθεν εις την πολιν, και τη επαυριον εξηλθεν συν τω βαρναβα εις δερβην.

21And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

ευαγγελισαμενοι τε την πολιν εκεινην και μαθητευσαντες ικανους υπεστρεψαν εις την λυστραν και ικονιον και αντιοχειαν,

22strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, 'We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.'

επιστηριζοντες τας ψυχας των μαθητων, παρακαλουντες εμμενειν τη πιστει, και οτι δια πολλων θλιψεων δει ημας εισελθειν εις την βασιλειαν του θεου.

23So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

χειροτονησαντες δε αυτοις πρεσβυτερους κατ εκκλησιαν [και] προσευξαμενοι μετα νηστειων παρεθεντο αυτους τω κυριω, εις ον πεπιστευκασιν.

24And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

και διελθοντες την πισιδιαν ηλθον εις παμφυλιαν,

25Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

και λαλησαντες εν περγη τον λογον κατεβησαν εις ατταλειαν,

26From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed.

κακειθεν απεπλευσαν εις αντιοχειαν, οθεν ησαν παραδεδομενοι τη χαριτι του θεου εις το εργον ο επληρωσαν.

27Now when they had come and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

παραγενομενοι δε και συναγαγοντες την εκκλησιαν ανηγγειλαν οσα εποιησεν ο θεος μετ αυτων, και οτι ηνοιξεν τοις εθνεσιν θυραν πιστεως.

28So they stayed there a long time with the disciples.

διετριβον δε εκει χρονον ουκ ολιγον συν τοις μαθηταις.
