Acts of the Apostles 22

KING JAMES BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.	1 Ανδρες αδελφοι και πατερες, ακουσατε με απολογουμενον τωρα προς εσας.
2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)	2 Ακουσαντες δε οτι ελαλει προς αυτους εις την Εβραικην διαλεκτον, εδειξαν περισσοτεραν ησυχιαν. Και ειπεν?
3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.	3 Εγω μεν ειμαι ανθρωπος Ιουδαιος, γεγεννημενος εν Ταρσω της Κιλικιας, ανατεθραμμενος δε εν τη πολει ταυτη παρα τους ποδας του Γαμαλιηλ, πεπαιδευμενος κατα την ακριβειαν του πατροπαραδοτου νομου, ζηλωτης ων του Θεου, καθως παντες σεις εισθε σημερον?
4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.	4 οστις κατετρεξα μεχρι θανατου ταυτην την οδον, δεσμευων και παραδιδων εις φυλακας ανδρας τε και γυναικας,
5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.	5 καθως και ο αρχιερευς μαρτυρει εις εμε και ολον το πρεσβυτεριον? παρα των οποιων και επιστολας λαβων προς τους αδελφους, επορευομην εις Δαμασκον δια να φερω δεδεμενους εις Ιερουσαλημ και τους εκει οντας, δια να τιμωρηθωσιν.
6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.	6 Ενω δε οδοιπορων επλησιαζον εις την Δαμασκον, περι την μεσημβριαν εξαιφνης εστραψε περι εμε φως πολυ εκ του ουρανου,
7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?	7 και επεσον εις το εδαφος και ηκουσα φωνην λεγουσαν προς εμε? Σαουλ, Σαουλ, τι με διωκεις;
8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.	8 Εγω δε απεκριθην? Τις εισαι, Κυριε; Και ειπε προς εμε? Εγω ειμαι Ιησους ο Ναζωραιος, τον οποιον συ διωκεις.
9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.	9 Οι οντες δε μετ' εμου το μεν φως ειδον και κατεφοβηθησαν, την φωνην ομως του λαλουντος προς εμε δεν ηκουσαν.
10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.	10 Και ειπον? Τι να καμω, Κυριε; Και ο Κυριος ειπε προς εμε? Σηκωθεις υπαγε εις Δαμασκον, και εκει θελει σοι λαληθη περι παντων οσα ειναι διωρισμενα να καμης.
11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.	11 Και επειδη εκ της λαμπροτητος του φωτος εκεινου δεν εβλεπον, χειραγωγουμενος υπο των οντων μετ' εμου ηλθον εις Δαμασκον.
12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,	12 Ανανιας δε τις, ανθρωπος ευσεβης κατα τον νομον, μαρτυρουμενος υπο παντων των εκει κατοικουντων Ιουδαιων,
13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.	13 ηλθε προς εμε και σταθεις επανω μου μοι, ειπε? Σαουλ αδελφε, αναβλεψον. Και εγω τη αυτη ωρα ανεβλεψα εις αυτον.
14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.	14 Ο δε ειπεν? Ο Θεος των πατερων ημων σε διωρισε να γνωρισης το θελημα αυτου και να ιδης τον δικαιον και να ακουσης φωνην εκ του στοματος αυτου,
15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.	15 διοτι θελεις εισθαι μαρτυς περι αυτου προς παντας τους ανθρωπους των οσα ειδες και ηκουσας.
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.	16 Και τωρα τι βραδυνεις; σηκωθεις βαπτισθητι και απολουσθητι απο των αμαρτιων σου, επικαλεσθεις το ονομα του Κυριου.
17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;	17 Αφου δε υπεστρεψα εις Ιερουσαλημ, ενω προσηυχομην εν τω ιερω, ηλθον εις εκστασιν
18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.	18 και ειδον αυτον λεγοντα προς εμε? Σπευσον και εξελθε ταχεως εξ Ιερουσαλημ, διοτι δεν θελουσι παραδεχθη την περι εμου μαρτυριαν σου.
19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:	19 Και εγω ειπον? Κυριε, αυτοι εξευρουσιν οτι εγω εφυλακιζον και εδερον εν ταις συναγωγαις τους πιστευοντας εις σε?
20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.	20 και οτε εχυνετο το αιμα Στεφανου του μαρτυρος σου, και εγω ημην παρων και συνεφωνουν εις τον φονον αυτου και εφυλαττον τα ιματια των φονευοντων αυτον.
21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.	21 Και ειπε προς εμε? Υπαγε, διοτι εγω θελω σε εξαποστειλει εις εθνη μακραν.
22 And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.	22 Και μεχρι τουτου του λογου ηκουον αυτον? τοτε δε υψωσαν την φωνην αυτων, λεγοντες? Σηκωσον απο της γης τον τοιουτον? διοτι δεν πρεπει να ζη.
23 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,	23 Και επειδη αυτοι εκραυγαζον και ετιναζον τα ιματια και ερριπτον κονιορτον εις τον αερα,
24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.	24 ο χιλιαρχος προσεταξε να φερθη εις το φρουριον, παραγγειλας να εξετασθη δια μαστιγων, δια να γνωριση δια ποιαν αιτιαν εφωναζον ουτω κατ' αυτου.
25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?	25 Και καθως εξηπλωσεν αυτον δεδεμενον με τα λωρια, ο Παυλος ειπε προς τον παρεστωτα εκατονταρχον? Ειναι ταχα νομιμον εις εσας ανθρωπον Ρωμαιον και ακατακριτον να μαστιγονητε;
26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.	26 Ακουσας δε ο εκατονταρχος, υπηγε και απηγγειλε προς τον χιλιαρχον, λεγων? Βλεπε τι μελλεις να καμης? διοτι ο ανθρωπος ουτος ειναι Ρωμαιος.
27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.	27 Προσελθων δε ο χιλιαρχος, ειπε προς αυτον? Λεγε μοι, συ Ρωμαιος εισαι; Ο δε ειπε? Ναι.
28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.	28 Και απεκριθη ο χιλιαρχος? Εγω δια πολλων χρηματων απεκτησα ταυτην την πολιτογραφησιν. Ο δε Παυλος ειπεν? Αλλ' εγω και εγεννηθην Ρωμαιος.
29 Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.	29 Ευθυς λοιπον απεσυρθησαν απ' αυτου οι μελλοντες να βασανισωσιν αυτον. Και ο χιλιαρχος ετι εφοβηθη γνωρισας οτι ειναι Ρωμαιος, και διοτι ειχε δεσει αυτον.
30 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.	30 Τη δε επαυριον θελων να μαθη το βεβαιον, περι τινος κατηγορειται παρα των Ιουδαιων, ελυσεν αυτον απο των δεσμων, και προσεταξε να ελθωσιν οι αρχιερεις και ολον το συνεδριον αυτων και καταβιβασας τον Παυλον, εστησεν εμπροσθεν αυτων.
