Acts of the Apostles 21

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 When we had taken leave of them we set sail, made a straight run for Cos, and on the next day for Rhodes, and from there to Patara.	1 Καθως δε αποσπασθεντες απ' αυτων απεπλευσαμεν, ηλθομεν κατ' ευθειαν εις την Κων, την δε ακολουθον ημεραν εις την Ροδον, και εκειθεν εις Παταρα.
2 Finding a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went on board and put out to sea.	2 Και ευροντες πλοιον μελλον να περαση εις Φοινικην, επεβημεν εις αυτο και απεπλευσαμεν.
3 We caught sight of Cyprus but passed by it on our left and sailed on toward Syria and put in at Tyre where the ship was to unload cargo.	3 Και αφου διεκριναμεν μακροθεν την Κυπρον και αφηκαμεν αυτην αριστερα, επλεομεν εις Συριαν, και κατεβημεν εις Τυρον? διοτι εκει εμελλε το πλοιον να εκβαλη το φορτιον αυτου.
4 There we sought out the disciples and stayed for a week. They kept telling Paul through the Spirit not to embark for Jerusalem.	4 Και ευροντες τους μαθητας, εμειναμεν αυτου επτα ημερας? οιτινες ελεγον προς τον Παυλον δια του Πνευματος να μη αναβη εις Ιερουσαλημ.
5 At the end of our stay we left and resumed our journey. All of them, women and children included, escorted us out of the city, and after kneeling on the beach to pray,	5 Αφου δε ετελειωσαμεν τας ημερας εκεινας, εξελθοντες επορευομεθα και προεπεμπον ημας παντες συν γυναιξι και τεκνοις εως εξω της πολεως, και γονατισαντες επι τον αιγιαλον προσηυχηθημεν,
6 we bade farewell to one another. Then we boarded the ship, and they returned home.	6 και ασπασθεντες αλληλους επεβημεν εις το πλοιον, εκεινοι δε υπεστρεψαν εις τα ιδια.
7 We continued the voyage and came from Tyre to Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed a day with them.	7 Και ημεις τελειωσαντες τον πλουν απο Τυρου κατηντησαμεν εις Πτολεμαιδα, και ασπασθεντες τους αδελφους εμειναμεν παρ' αυτοις μιαν ημεραν.
8 On the next day we resumed the trip and came to Caesarea, where we went to the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven, and stayed with him.	8 Τη δε επαυριον, ο Παυλος και οι περι αυτον αναχωρησαντες, ηλθομεν εις Καισαρειαν? και εισελθοντες εις τον οικον Φιλιππου του Ευαγγελιστου, του οντος εκ των επτα, εμειναμεν παρ' αυτω.
9 He had four virgin daughters gifted with prophecy.	9 Ειχε δε ουτος τεσσαρας θυγατερας παρθενους, αιτινες προεφητευον.
10 We had been there several days when a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.	10 Και ενω διετριβομεν εκει ημερας πολλας, κατεβη απο της Ιουδαιας προφητης τις ονοματι Αγαβος,
11 He came up to us, took Paul's belt, bound his own feet and hands with it, and said, "Thus says the holy Spirit: This is the way the Jews will bind the owner of this belt in Jerusalem, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles."	11 και ελθων προς ημας, ελαβε την ζωνην του Παυλου και δεσας τας χειρας εαυτου και τους ποδας ειπε? Ταυτα λεγει το Πνευμα το Αγιον? Τον ανδρα, του οποιου ειναι η ζωνη αυτη, ουτω θελουσι δεσει εν Ιερουσαλημ οι Ιουδαιοι και θελουσι παραδωσει εις τας χειρας των εθνων.
12 When we heard this, we and the local residents begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.	12 Και ως ηκουσαμεν ταυτα, παρεκαλουμεν αυτον και ημεις και οι εντοπιοι να μη αναβη εις Ιερουσαλημ.
13 Then Paul replied, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am prepared not only to be bound but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."	13 Ο Παυλος ομως απεκριθη? Τι καμνετε, κλαιοντες και καταθλιβοντες την καρδιαν μου; επειδη εγω ουχι μονον να δεθω, αλλα και να αποθανω εις Ιερουσαλημ ειμαι ετοιμος υπερ του ονοματος του Κυριου Ιησου.
14 Since he would not be dissuaded we let the matter rest, saying, "The Lord's will be done."	14 Και επειδη δεν επειθετο, ησυχασαμεν ειποντες? Ας γεινη το θελημα του Κυριου.
15 After these days we made preparations for our journey, then went up to Jerusalem.	15 Μετα δε τας ημερας ταυτας ετοιμασαντες την αποσκευην ημων, ανεβαινομεν εις Ιερουσαλημ?
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea came along to lead us to the house of Mnason, a Cypriot, a disciple of long standing, with whom we were to stay.	16 ηλθον δε μεθ' ημων και τινες των μαθητων εκ της Καισαρειας, φεροντες Μνασωνα τινα Κυπριον, παλαιον μαθητην, παρα τω οποιω εμελλομεν να ξενισθωμεν.
17 When we reached Jerusalem the brothers welcomed us warmly.	17 Και αφου ηλθομεν εις Ιεροσολυμα, μετα χαρας εδεχθησαν ημας οι αδελφοι.
18 The next day, Paul accompanied us on a visit to James, and all the presbyters were present.	18 Την δε ακολουθον ημεραν υπηγεν ο Παυλος μεθ' ημων προς τον Ιακωβον, και ηλθον παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι.
19 He greeted them, then proceeded to tell them in detail what God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.	19 Και ασπασθεις αυτους, διηγειτο καθ' εν εκαστον οσα εκαμεν ο Θεος μεταξυ των εθνων δια της διακονιας αυτου.
20 They praised God when they heard it but said to him, "Brother, you see how many thousands of believers there are from among the Jews, and they are all zealous observers of the law.	20 Εκεινοι δε ακουσαντες εδοξαζον τον Κυριον, και ειπον προς αυτον? Βλεπεις, αδελφε, ποσαι μυριαδες ειναι εκ των Ιουδαιων οιτινες επιστευσαν, και παντες ειναι ζηλωται του νομου.
21 They have been informed that you are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to abandon Moses and that you are telling them not to circumcise their children or to observe their customary practices.	21 Εμαθον δε περι σου οτι διδασκεις παντας τους μεταξυ των εθνων Ιουδαιους να αποστατησωσιν απο του Μωυσεως, λεγων να μη περιτεμνωσι τα τεκνα αυτων μηδε να περιπατωσι κατα τα εθιμα.
22 What is to be done? They will surely hear that you have arrived.	22 Τι ειναι λοιπον; μελλει βεβαιως να συναχθη πληθος? διοτι θελουσιν ακουσει οτι ηλθες.
23 So do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.	23 Καμε λοιπον τουτο, το οποιον σοι λεγομεν? Ευρισκονται παρ' ημιν τεσσαρες ανδρες, οιτινες εχουσιν ευχην εφ' εαυτων?
24 Take these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses that they may have their heads shaved. In this way everyone will know that there is nothing to the reports they have been given about you but that you yourself live in observance of the law.	24 παραλαβε τουτους και καθαρισθητι μετ' αυτων και δαπανησον δι' αυτους δια να ξυρισθωσι την κεφαλην, και να γνωρισωσι παντες οτι δεν υπαρχει ουδεν εκ των οσα εμαθον περι σου, αλλ' ακολουθεις και συ φυλαττων τον νομον.
25 As for the Gentiles who have come to believe, we sent them our decision that they abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage."	25 Περι δε των εθνων, τα οποια επιστευσαν, ημεις εγραψαμεν, αποφασισαντες να μη φυλαττωσι μηδεν τοιουτον, παρα μονον να απεχωσιν απο του ειδωλοθυτου και του αιματος και πνικτου και πορνειας.
26 So Paul took the men, and on the next day after purifying himself together with them entered the temple to give notice of the day when the purification would be completed and the offering made for each of them.	26 Τοτε ο Παυλος παραλαβων τους ανδρας, την ακολουθον ημεραν καθαρισθεις μετ' αυτων εισηλθεν εις το ιερον, διαγγελλων ποτε εκπληρουνται αι ημεραι του καθαρισμου, οτε θελει γεινει προσφορα υπερ ενος εκαστου αυτων.
27 When the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from the province of Asia noticed him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd, and laid hands on him,	27 Ως δε εμελλον αι επτα ημεραι να συντελεσθωσιν, οι απο της Ασιας Ιουδαιοι ιδοντες αυτον εν τω ιερω, εταραξαν παντα τον οχλον και εβαλον τας χειρας επ' αυτον,
28 shouting, "Fellow Israelites, help us. This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place, and what is more, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this sacred place."	28 κραζοντες? Ανδρες Ισραηλιται, βοηθειτε? ουτος ειναι ο ανθρωπος, οστις διδασκει παντας πανταχου εναντιον του λαου και του νομου και του τοπου τουτου? προς τουτοις δε εισηγαγε και Ελληνας εις το ιερον και εβεβηλωσε τον αγιον τουτον τοπον?
29 For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him and supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.	29 διοτι ειχον ιδει προλαβοντως Τροφιμον τον Εφεσιον μετ' αυτου εν τη πολει, τον οποιον ενομιζον οτι ο Παυλος εισηγαγεν εις το ιερον.
30 The whole city was in turmoil with people rushing together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the gates were closed.	30 Και εκινηθη η πολις ολη και εγεινε συρροη του λαου, και πιασαντες τον Παυλον εσυρον αυτον εξω του ιερου, και ευθυς εκλεισθησαν αι θυραι.
31 While they were trying to kill him, a report reached the cohort commander that all Jerusalem was rioting.	31 Ενω δε εζητουν να θανατωσωσιν αυτον, ανεβη η φημη εις τον χιλιαρχον του ταγματος, οτι ολη η Ιερουσαλημ ειναι τεταραγμενη?
32 He immediately took soldiers and centurions and charged down on them. When they saw the commander and the soldiers they stopped beating Paul.	32 οστις παραλαβων ευθυς στρατιωτας και εκατονταρχους, εδραμε κατω προς αυτους. Οι δε ιδοντες τον χιλιαρχον και τους στρατιωτας, επαυσαν να τυπτωσι τον Παυλον.
33 The cohort commander came forward, arrested him, and ordered him to be secured with two chains; he tried to find out who he might be and what he had done.	33 Τοτε πλησιασας ο χιλιαρχος, επιασεν αυτον και προσεταξε να δεθη με δυο αλυσεις, και ηρωτα τις ητο και τι ειχε πραξει.
34 Some in the mob shouted one thing, others something else; so, since he was unable to ascertain the truth because of the uproar, he ordered Paul to be brought into the compound.	34 Και εφωναζον μεταξυ του οχλου αλλοι αλλο τι και αλλοι αλλο? μη δυναμενος δε δια τον θορυβον να μαθη το βεβαιον, προσεταξε να φερθη εις το φρουριον.
35 When he reached the steps, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob,	35 Οτε δε εφθασεν εις τας βαθμιδας, συνεβη να βασταζηται υπο των στρατιωτων δια την βιαν του οχλου?
36 for a crowd of people followed and shouted, "Away with him!"	36 επειδη το πληθος του λαου ηκολουθει, κραζον? Σηκωσον αυτον.
37 Just as Paul was about to be taken into the compound, he said to the cohort commander, "May I say something to you?" He replied, "Do you speak Greek?	37 Ενω δε εμελλεν ο Παυλος να εισαχθη εις το φρουριον, λεγει προς τον χιλιαρχον? Μοι ειναι συγκεχωρημενον να σοι ειπω τι; Ο δε ειπεν? Εξευρεις Ελληνικα;
38 So then you are not the Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led the four thousand assassins into the desert?"	38 δεν εισαι συ ταχα ο Αιγυπτιος, ο προ των ημερων τουτων διεγειρας εις αποστασιαν και εκβαλων εις την ερημον τους τετρακισχιλιους ανδρας φονεις;
39 Paul answered, "I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; I request you to permit me to speak to the people."	39 Και ο Παυλος ειπεν? Εγω ειμαι ανθρωπος Ιουδαιος εκ της Ταρσου, πολιτης επισημου πολεως της Κιλικιας και σε παρακαλω, δος μοι την αδειαν να λαλησω προς τον λαον.
40 When he had given his permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people; and when all was quiet he addressed them in Hebrew.	40 Και αφου εδωκεν εις αυτον την αδειαν, ο Παυλος, σταθεις επι των βαθμιδων, εσεισε την χειρα εις τον λαον? και γενομενης σιωπης μεγαλης, ελαλησεν εις την Εβραικην διαλεκτον, λεγων?
