18:1

Μετα ταυτα χωρισθεις εκ των Αθηνων ηλθεν εις Κορινθον

After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

18:2

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

And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them;

18:3

και δια το ομοτεχνον ειναι εμενεν παρ αυτοις και ηργαζετο ησαν γαρ σκηνοποιοι τη τεχνη

and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers.

¹

18:4

Διελεγετο δε εν τη συναγωγη κατα παν σαββατον επειθεν τε Ιουδαιους και Ελληνας

And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

18:5

Ως δε κατηλθον απο της Μακεδονιας ο τε Σιλας και ο Τιμοθεος συνειχετο τω λογω ο Παυλος διαμαρτυρομενος τοις Ιουδαιοις ειναι τον Χριστον Ιησουν

But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

18:6

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

And when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook out his raiment and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

18:7

Και μεταβας εκειθεν εισηλθεν εις οικιαν τινος ονοματι Τιτιου Ιουστου σεβομενου τον Θεον ου η οικια ην συνομορουσα τη συναγωγη

And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

18:8

Κρισπος δε ο αρχισυναγωγος επιστευσεν τω Κυριω συν ολω τω οικω αυτου και πολλοι των Κορινθιων ακουοντες επιστευον και εβαπτιζοντο

And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

18:9

Ειπεν δε ο Κυριος εν νυκτι δι οραματος τω Παυλω Μη φοβου αλλα λαλει και μη σιωπησης

And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace:

18:10

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

for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city.

18:11

Εκαθισεν δε ενιαυτον και μηνας εξ διδασκων εν αυτοις τον λογον του Θεου

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

18:12

Γαλλιωνος δε ανθυπατου οντος της Αχαιας κατεπεστησαν ομοθυμαδον οι Ιουδαιοι τω Παυλω και ηγαγον αυτον επι το βημα

But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment-seat,

18:13

λεγοντες οτι Παρα τον νομον αναπειθει ουτος τους ανθρωπους σεβεσθαι τον Θεον

saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

18:14

Μελλοντος δε του Παυλου ανοιγειν το στομα ειπεν ο Γαλλιων προς τους Ιουδαιους Ει μεν ην αδικημα τι η ραδιουργημα πονηρον ω Ιουδαιοι κατα λογον αν ανεσχομην υμων

But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

18:15

ει δε ζητηματα εστιν περι λογου και ονοματων και νομου του καθ υμας οψεσθε αυτοι κριτης εγω τουτων ου βουλομαι ειναι

but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters.

18:16

και απηλασεν αυτους απο του βηματος

And he drove them from the judgment-seat.

18:17

Επιλαβομενοι δε παντες Σωσθενην τον αρχισυναγωγον ετυπτον εμπροσθεν του βηματος και ουδεν τουτων τω Γαλλιωνι εμελεν

And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.

18:18

Ο δε Παυλος ετι προσμεινας ημερας ικανας τοις αδελφοις αποταξαμενος εξεπλει εις την Συριαν και συν αυτω Πρισκιλλα και Ακυλας κειραμενος εν Κενχρεαις την κεφαλην ειχεν γαρ ευχην

And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila: having shorn his head in Cenchreæ; for he had a vow.

18:19

Κατηντησαν δε εις Εφεσον κακεινους κατελιπεν αυτου αυτος δε εισελθων εις την συναγωγην διελεξατο τοις Ιουδαιοις

And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

18:20

ερωτωντων δε αυτων επι πλειονα χρονον μειναι ουκ επενευσεν

And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not;

18:21

αλλα αποταξαμενος και ειπων Παλιν ανακαμψω προς υμας του Θεου θελοντος ανηχθη απο της Εφεσου

but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.

18:22

και κατελθων εις Καισαρειαν αναβας και ασπασαμενος την εκκλησιαν κατεβη εις Αντιοχειαν

And when he had landed at Cæsarea, he went up and saluted the church, and went down to Antioch.

18:23

Και ποιησας χρονον τινα εξηλθεν διερχομενος καθεξης την Γαλατικην χωραν και Φρυγιαν στηριζων παντας τους μαθητας

And having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.

18:24

Ιουδαιος δε τις Απολλως ονοματι Αλεξανδρευς τω γενει ανηρ λογιος κατηντησεν εις Εφεσον δυνατος ων εν ταις γραφαις

Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.

18:25

ουτος ην κατηχημενος την οδον του Κυριου και ζεων τω πνευματι ελαλει και εδιδασκεν ακριβως τα περι του Ιησου επισταμενος μονον το βαπτισμα Ιωαννου

This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John:

18:26

ουτος τε ηρξατο παρρησιαζεσθαι εν τη συναγωγη ακουσαντες δε αυτου Πρισκιλλα και Ακυλας προσελαβοντο αυτον και ακριβεστερον αυτω εξεθεντο την οδον του Θεου

and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurately.

18:27

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

And when he was minded to pass over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he was come, he helped them much that had believed through grace;

18:28

ευτονως γαρ τοις Ιουδαιοις διακατηλεγχετο δημοσια επιδεικνυς δια των γραφων ειναι τον Χριστον Ιησουν

for he powerfully confuted the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
