Acts 18

1After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.

μετα δε ταυτα χωρισθεις ο παυλος εκ των αθηνων ηλθεν εις κορινθον·

2And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them.

και ευρων τινα ιουδαιον ονοματι ακυλαν, ποντικον τω γενει, προσφατως εληλυθοτα απο της ιταλιας, και πρισκιλλαν γυναικα αυτου, δια το διατεταχεναι κλαυδιον χωριζεσθαι παντας τους ιουδαιους απο της ρωμης, προσηλθεν αυτοις,

3So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.

και δια το ομοτεχνον ειναι εμεινεν παρ αυτοις και ειργαζετο· ησαν γαρ σκηνοποιοι τη τεχνη.

4And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

διελεγετο δε εν τη συναγωγη κατα παν σαββατον, επειθεν τε ιουδαιους και ελληνας.

5When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

ως δε κατηλθον απο της μακεδονιας ο τε σιλας και ο τιμοθεος, συνειχετο τω πνευματι ο παυλος διαμαρτυρομενος τοις ιουδαιοις τον χριστον ιησουν.

6But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, 'Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.'

αντιτασσομενων δε αυτων και βλασφημουντων εκτιναξαμενος τα ιματια ειπεν προς αυτους· το αιμα υμων επι την κεφαλην υμων· καθαρος εγω· απο του νυν εις τα εθνη πορευσομαι.

7And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

και μεταβας εκειθεν ηλθεν εις οικιαν τινος ονοματι ιουστου, σεβομενου τον θεον, ου η οικια ην συνομορουσα τη συναγωγη.

8Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.

κρισπος δε ο αρχισυναγωγος επιστευσεν τω κυριω συν ολω τω οικω αυτου, και πολλοι των κορινθιων ακουοντες επιστευον και εβαπτιζοντο.

9Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, 'Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;

ειπεν δε ο κυριος δι οραματος εν νυκτι τω παυλω· μη φοβου, αλλα λαλει και μη σιωπησης,

10for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.'

διοτι εγω ειμι μετα σου, και ουδεις επιθησεται σοι του κακωσαι σε, διοτι λαος εστιν μοι πολυς εν τη πολει ταυτη.

11And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

εκαθισεν τε ενιαυτον και μηνας εξ διδασκων εν αυτοις τον λογον του θεου.

12When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,

γαλλιωνος δε ανθυπατευοντος της αχαιας κατεπεστησαν ομοθυμαδον οι ιουδαιοι τω παυλω και ηγαγον αυτον επι το βημα,

13saying, 'This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.'

λεγοντες οτι παρα τον νομον ουτος αναπειθει τους ανθρωπους σεβεσθαι τον θεον.

14And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, 'If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear with you.

μελλοντος δε του παυλου ανοιγειν το στομα ειπεν ο γαλλιων προς τους ιουδαιους· ει μεν ουν ην αδικημα τι η ραδιουργημα πονηρον, ω ιουδαιοι, κατα λογον αν ηνεσχομην υμων·

15But if it is a question of words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; for I do not want to be a judge of such matters.'

ει δε ζητημα εστιν περι λογου και ονοματων και νομου του καθ υμας, οψεσθε αυτοι· κριτης γαρ εγω τουτων ου βουλομαι ειναι.

16And he drove them from the judgment seat.

και απηλασεν αυτους απο του βηματος.

17Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But Gallio took no notice of these things.

επιλαβομενοι δε παντες οι ελληνες σωσθενην τον αρχισυναγωγον ετυπτον εμπροσθεν του βηματος· και ουδεν τουτων τω γαλλιωνι εμελεν.

18So Paul still remained a good while. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had his hair cut off at Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow.

ο δε παυλος ετι προσμεινας ημερας ικανας, τοις αδελφοις αποταξαμενος εξεπλει εις την συριαν, και συν αυτω πρισκιλλα και ακυλας, κειραμενος την κεφαλην εν κεγχρεαις· ειχεν γαρ ευχην.

19And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

κατηντησεν δε εις εφεσον, κακεινους κατελιπεν αυτου, αυτος δε εισελθων εις την συναγωγην διελεχθη τοις ιουδαιοις.

20When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent,

ερωτωντων δε αυτων επι πλειονα χρονον μειναι παρ αυτοις ουκ επενευσεν,

21but took leave of them, saying, 'I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus.

αλλα απεταξατο αυτοις ειπων· δει με παντως την εορτην την ερχομενην ποιησαι εις ιεροσολυμα, παλιν δε ανακαμψω προς υμας του θεου θελοντος. και ανηχθη απο της εφεσου,

22And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch.

και κατελθων εις καισαρειαν, αναβας και ασπασαμενος την εκκλησιαν κατεβη εις αντιοχειαν,

23After he had spent some time there, he departed and went over the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

και ποιησας χρονον τινα εξηλθεν διερχομενος καθεξης την γαλατικην χωραν και φρυγιαν, επιστηριζων παντας τους μαθητας.

24Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.

ιουδαιος δε τις απολλως ονοματι, αλεξανδρευς τω γενει, ανηρ λογιος, κατηντησεν εις εφεσον, δυνατος ων εν ταις γραφαις.

25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John.

ουτος ην κατηχημενος την οδον του κυριου, και ζεων τω πνευματι ελαλει και εδιδασκεν ακριβως τα περι του κυριου, επισταμενος μονον το βαπτισμα ιωαννου·

26So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

ουτος τε ηρξατο παρρησιαζεσθαι εν τη συναγωγη. ακουσαντες δε αυτου ακυλας και πρισκιλλα προσελαβοντο αυτον και ακριβεστερον αυτω εξεθεντο την οδον του θεου.

27And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;

βουλομενου δε αυτου διελθειν εις την αχαιαν προτρεψαμενοι οι αδελφοι εγραψαν τοις μαθηταις αποδεξασθαι αυτον· ος παραγενομενος συνεβαλετο πολυ τοις πεπιστευκοσιν δια της χαριτος·

28for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

ευτονως γαρ τοις ιουδαιοις διακατηλεγχετο δημοσια επιδεικνυς δια των γραφων ειναι τον χριστον ιησουν.
