Acts of the Apostles 20

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 When the disturbance was over, Paul had the disciples summoned and, after encouraging them, he bade them farewell and set out on his journey to Macedonia.	1 Αφου δε επαυσεν ο θορυβος, προσκαλεσας ο Παυλος τους μαθητας και ασπασθεις, εξηλθε δια να υπαγη εις την Μακεδονιαν.
2 As he traveled throughout those regions, he provided many words of encouragement for them. Then he arrived in Greece,	2 Και διαπερασας τα μερη εκεινα και προτρεψας αυτους δια λογων πολλων, ηλθεν εις την Ελλαδα?
3 where he stayed for three months. But when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return by way of Macedonia.	3 και αφου διετριψε τρεις μηνας, επειδη εγεινε κατ' αυτου επιβουλη υπο των Ιουδαιων, ενω εμελλε να αποπλευση εις την Συριαν, ενεκριθη να επιστρεψη δια της Μακεδονιας.
4 Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus, from Beroea, accompanied him, as did Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia	4 Συνηκολουθει δε αυτον μεχρι της Ασιας Σωπατρος ο Βεροιαιος και εκ των Θεσσαλονικεων Αρισταρχος και Σεκουνδος και Γαιος ο εκ Δερβης και ο Τιμοθεος, Ασιανοι δε ο Τυχικος και ο Τροφιμος.
5 who went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.	5 Ουτοι ελθοντες προτεροι περιεμενον ημας εις την Τρωαδα?
6 We sailed from Philippi after the feast of Unleavened Bread, and rejoined them five days later in Troas, where we spent a week.	6 ημεις δε εξεπλευσαμεν απο Φιλιππων μετα τας ημερας των αζυμων και εις πεντε ημερας ηλθομεν προς αυτους εις την Τρωαδα, οπου διετριψαμεν ημερας επτα.
7 On the first day of the week when we gathered to break bread, Paul spoke to them because he was going to leave on the next day, and he kept on speaking until midnight.	7 Και τη πρωτη ημερα της εβδομαδος ενω οι μαθηται ησαν συνηγμενοι δια την κλασιν του αρτου, ο Παυλος διελεγετο προς αυτους, μελλων να αναχωρηση τη επαυριον, και παρετεινε τον λογον μεχρι μεσονυκτιου.
8 There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were gathered,	8 Ησαν δε λαμπαδες ικαναι εις το ανωγεον, οπου ησαν συνηγμενοι.
9 and a young man named Eutychus who was sitting on the window sill was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. Once overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and when he was picked up, he was dead.	9 Και νεανιας τις ονοματι Ευτυχος, καθημενος επι του παραθυρου, κατεφερετο εις υπνον βαθυν, ενω ο Παυλος διελεγετο εκτεταμενως, και κυριευθεις υπο του υπνου επεσε κατω απο του τριτου πατωματος και εσηκωσαν αυτον νεκρον.
10 Paul went down, threw himself upon him, and said as he embraced him, "Don't be alarmed; there is life in him."	10 Καταβας δε ο Παυλος, επεσεν επ' αυτον και εναγκαλισθεις ειπε? Μη θορυβεισθε? διοτι η ψυχη αυτου ειναι εν αυτω.
11 Then he returned upstairs, broke the bread, and ate; after a long conversation that lasted until daybreak, he departed.	11 Αφου δε ανεβη και εκοψεν αρτον και εγευθη και ωμιλησεν ικανως μεχρι της αυγης? μετα ταυτα ανεχωρησε.
12 And they took the boy away alive and were immeasurably comforted.	12 Τον δε νεον εφεραν ζωντα και παρηγορηθησαν καθ' υπερβολην.
13 We went ahead to the ship and set sail for Assos where we were to take Paul on board, as he had arranged, since he was going overland.	13 ημεις δε καταβαντες προτεροι εις το πλοιον, απεπλευσαμεν εις την Ασσον, μελλοντες να αναλαβωμεν εκειθεν τον Παυλον? επειδη ουτως ειχε διαταξει, μελλων αυτος να υπαγη πεζος.
14 When he met us in Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.	14 Και καθως συνηντησεν ημας εις την Ασσον, αναλαβοντες αυτον ηλθομεν εις Μιτυληνην?
15 We sailed away from there on the next day and reached a point off Chios, and a day later we reached Samos, and on the following day we arrived at Miletus.	15 και εκειθεν αποπλευσαντες κατηντησαμεν την επιουσαν αντικρυ Χιου? την δε αλλην εφθασαμεν εις Σαμον, και μειναντες εν τω Τρωγυλλιω την ακολουθον ημεραν ηλθομεν εις Μιλητον.
16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus in order not to lose time in the province of Asia, for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if at all possible, for the day of Pentecost.	16 Διοτι ο Παυλος εκρινε να παραπλευση την Εφεσον, δια να μη συμβη εις αυτον να χρονοτριβηση εν τη Ασια? διοτι εσπευδεν, αν ητο δυνατον εις αυτον, να ευρεθη την ημεραν της Πεντηκοστης εις Ιεροσολυμα.
17 From Miletus he had the presbyters of the church at Ephesus summoned.	17 Πεμψας δε απο της Μιλητου εις Εφεσον, προσεκαλεσε τους πρεσβυτερους της εκκλησιας.
18 When they came to him, he addressed them, "You know how I lived among you the whole time from the day I first came to the province of Asia.	18 Και οτε ηλθον προς αυτον, ειπε προς αυτους? Σεις εξευρετε, απο της πρωτης ημερας αφ' ης επατησα εις την Ασιαν, πως επερασα μεθ' υμων ολον τον χρονον,
19 I served the Lord with all humility and with the tears and trials that came to me because of the plots of the Jews,	19 δουλευων τον Κυριον μετα πασης ταπεινοφροσυνης και μετα πολλων δακρυων και πειρασμων, οιτινες μοι συνεβησαν εν ταις επιβουλαις των Ιουδαιων,
20 and I did not at all shrink from telling you what was for your benefit, or from teaching you in public or in your homes.	20 οτι δεν υπεκρυψα ουδεν των συμφεροντων, ωστε να μη αναγγειλω αυτο προς εσας και να σας διδαξω δημοσια και κατ' οικους,
21 I earnestly bore witness for both Jews and Greeks to repentance before God and to faith in our Lord Jesus.	21 διαμαρτυρομενος προς Ιουδαιους τε και Ελληνας την εις τον Θεον μετανοιαν και την πιστιν την εις τον Κυριον ημων Ιησουν Χριστον.
22 But now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem. What will happen to me there I do not know,	22 Και τωρα ιδου, εγω δεδεμενος τω πνευματι υπαγω εις Ιερουσαλημ, μη γνωριζων τα μελλοντα να συμβωσιν εις εμε εν αυτη,
23 except that in one city after another the holy Spirit has been warning me that imprisonment and hardships await me.	23 πλην οτι το Πνευμα το Αγιον μαρτυρει εν παση πολει λεγον, οτι δεσμα και θλιψεις με περιμενουσι.
24 Yet I consider life of no importance to me, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear witness to the gospel of God's grace.	24 Δεν φροντιζω ομως περι ουδενος τουτων ουδε εχω πολυτιμον την ζωην μου, ως το να τελειωσω τον δρομον μου μετα χαρας και την διακονιαν, την οποιαν ελαβον παρα του Κυριου Ιησου, να διακηρυξω το ευαγγελιον της χαριτος του Θεου.
25 "But now I know that none of you to whom I preached the kingdom during my travels will ever see my face again.	25 Και τωρα ιδου, εγω εξευρω οτι πλεον δεν θελετε ιδει το προσωπον μου σεις παντες, μεταξυ των οποιων διηλθον κηρυττων την βασιλειαν του Θεου.
26 And so I solemnly declare to you this day that I am not responsible for the blood of any of you,	26 Οθεν μαρτυρομαι προς εσας εν τη σημερον ημερα, οτι εγω ειμαι καθαρος απο του αιματος παντων?
27 for I did not shrink from proclaiming to you the entire plan of God.	27 διοτι δεν συνεσταλην να αναγγειλω προς εσας πασαν την βουλην του Θεου.
28 Keep watch over yourselves and over the whole flock of which the holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, in which you tend the church of God that he acquired with his own blood.	28 Προσεχετε λοιπον εις εαυτους και εις ολον το ποιμνιον, εις το οποιον το Πνευμα το Αγιον σας εθεσεν επισκοπους, δια να ποιμαινητε την εκκλησιαν του Θεου, την οποιαν απεκτησε δια του ιδιου αυτου αιματος.
29 I know that after my departure savage wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the flock.	29 Διοτι εγω εξευρω τουτο, οτι μετα την αναχωρησιν μου θελουσιν εισελθει εις εσας λυκοι βαρεις μη φειδομενοι του ποιμνιου?
30 And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the truth to draw the disciples away after them.	30 και εξ υμων αυτων θελουσι σηκωθη ανθρωποι λαλουντες διεστραμμενα, δια να αποσπωσι τους μαθητας οπισω αυτων.
31 So be vigilant and remember that for three years, night and day, I unceasingly admonished each of you with tears.	31 Δια τουτο αγρυπνειτε, ενθυμουμενοι οτι τρια ετη νυκτα και ημεραν δεν επαυσα νουθετων μετα δακρυων ενα εκαστον.
32 And now I commend you to God and to that gracious word of his that can build you up and give you the inheritance among all who are consecrated.	32 Και τωρα, αδελφοι, σας αφιερονω εις τον Θεον και εις τον λογον της χαριτος αυτου, οστις δυναται να εποικοδομηση και να δωση εις εσας κληρονομιαν μεταξυ παντων των ηγιασμενων.
33 I have never wanted anyone's silver or gold or clothing.	33 Αργυριον η χρυσιον η ιματιον ουδενος επεθυμησα?
34 You know well that these very hands have served my needs and my companions.	34 σεις δε αυτοι εξευρετε οτι εις τας χρειας μου και εις τους οντας μετ' εμου αι χειρες αυται υπηρετησαν.
35 In every way I have shown you that by hard work of that sort we must help the weak, and keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus who himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"	35 Κατα παντα υπεδειξα εις εσας οτι ουτω κοπιαζοντες πρεπει να βοηθητε τους ασθενεις και να ενθυμησθε τους λογους του Κυριου Ιησου, οτι αυτος ειπε? Μακαριον ειναι να διδη τις μαλλον παρα να λαμβανη.
36 When he had finished speaking he knelt down and prayed with them all.	36 Και αφου ειπε ταυτα, γονατισας προσηυχηθη μετα παντων αυτων.
37 They were all weeping loudly as they threw their arms around Paul and kissed him,	37 Εγεινε δε πολυς κλαυθμος παντων, και πεσοντες επι τον τραχηλον του Παυλου κατεφιλουν αυτον,
38 for they were deeply distressed that he had said that they would never see his face again. Then they escorted him to the ship.	38 υπερλυπουμενοι μαλιστα δια τον λογον τον οποιον ειπεν, οτι δεν θελουσιν ιδει πλεον το προσωπον αυτου. Και προεπεμπον αυτον εις το πλοιον.
