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.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ειπον δε τι ποιησω κυριε ο δε κυριος ειπεν προς με αναστας πορευου εις δαμασκον κακει σοι λαληθησεται περι παντων ων τετακται σοι ποιησαι
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.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ως δε ουκ ενεβλεπον απο της δοξης του φωτος εκεινου χειραγωγουμενος υπο των συνοντων μοι ηλθον εις δαμασκον
And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there,
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ανανιας δε τις ανηρ ευλαβης κατα τον νομον μαρτυρουμενος υπο παντων των κατοικουντων ιουδαιων
came unto me, and standing by me said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And in that very hour I looked up on him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ελθων προς εμε και επιστας ειπεν μοι σαουλ αδελφε αναβλεψον καγω αυτη τη ωρα ανεβλεψα εις αυτον
And he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ο δε ειπεν ο θεος των πατερων ημων προεχειρισατο σε γνωναι το θελημα αυτου και ιδειν τον δικαιον και ακουσαι φωνην εκ του στοματος αυτου
For thou shalt be a witness for him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οτι εση μαρτυς αυτω προς παντας ανθρωπους ων εωρακας και ηκουσας
And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και νυν τι μελλεις αναστας βαπτισαι και απολουσαι τας αμαρτιας σου επικαλεσαμενος το ονομα αυτου
And it came to pass, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance,
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εγενετο δε μοι υποστρεψαντι εις ιερουσαλημ και προσευχομενου μου εν τω ιερω γενεσθαι με εν εκστασει
and saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive of thee testimony concerning me.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και ιδειν αυτον λεγοντα μοι σπευσον και εξελθε εν ταχει εξ ιερουσαλημ διοτι ου παραδεξονται σου μαρτυριαν περι εμου
And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881καγω ειπον κυριε αυτοι επιστανται οτι εγω ημην φυλακιζων και δερων κατα τας συναγωγας τους πιστευοντας επι σε
and when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting, and keeping the garments of them that slew him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και οτε εξεχυννετο το αιμα στεφανου του μαρτυρος σου και αυτος ημην εφεστως και συνευδοκων και φυλασσων τα ιματια των αναιρουντων αυτον
And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee forth far hence unto the Gentiles.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και ειπεν προς με πορευου οτι εγω εις εθνη μακραν εξαποστελω σε
And they gave him audience unto this word; and they lifted up their voice, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ηκουον δε αυτου αχρι τουτου του λογου και επηραν την φωνην αυτων λεγοντες αιρε απο της γης τον τοιουτον ου γαρ καθηκεν αυτον ζην
And as they cried out, and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881κραυγαζοντων τε αυτων και ριπτουντων τα ιματια και κονιορτον βαλλοντων εις τον αερα
the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, bidding that he should be examined by scourging, that he might know for what cause they so shouted against him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εκελευσεν ο χιλιαρχος εισαγεσθαι αυτον εις την παρεμβολην ειπας μαστιξιν ανεταζεσθαι αυτον ινα επιγνω δι ην αιτιαν ουτως επεφωνουν αυτω
And when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ως δε προετειναν αυτον τοις ιμασιν ειπεν προς τον εστωτα εκατονταρχον ο παυλος ει ανθρωπον ρωμαιον και ακατακριτον εξεστιν υμιν μαστιζειν
And when the centurion heard it, he went to the chief captain and told him, saying, What art thou about to do? for this man is a Roman.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ακουσας δε ο εκατονταρχης προσελθων τω χιλιαρχω απηγγειλεν λεγων τι μελλεις ποιειν ο γαρ ανθρωπος ουτος ρωμαιος εστιν
And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881προσελθων δε ο χιλιαρχος ειπεν αυτω λεγε μοι συ ρωμαιος ει ο δε εφη ναι
And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am [a Roman] born.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881απεκριθη δε ο χιλιαρχος εγω πολλου κεφαλαιου την πολιτειαν ταυτην εκτησαμην ο δε παυλος εφη εγω δε και γεγεννημαι
They then that were about to examine him straightway departed from him: and the chief captain also was afraid when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ευθεως ουν απεστησαν απ αυτου οι μελλοντες αυτον ανεταζειν και ο χιλιαρχος δε εφοβηθη επιγνους οτι ρωμαιος εστιν και οτι αυτον ην δεδεκως
But on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881τη δε επαυριον βουλομενος γνωναι το ασφαλες το τι κατηγορειται υπο των ιουδαιων ελυσεν αυτον και εκελευσεν συνελθειν τους αρχιερεις και παν το συνεδριον και καταγαγων τον παυλον εστησεν εις αυτους
And Paul, looking stedfastly on the council, said, Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ατενισας δε παυλος τω συνεδριω ειπεν ανδρες αδελφοι εγω παση συνειδησει αγαθη πεπολιτευμαι τω θεω αχρι ταυτης της ημερας
And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ο δε αρχιερευς ανανιας επεταξεν τοις παρεστωσιν αυτω τυπτειν αυτου το στομα
Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: and sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881τοτε ο παυλος προς αυτον ειπεν τυπτειν σε μελλει ο θεος τοιχε κεκονιαμενε και συ καθη κρινων με κατα τον νομον και παρανομων κελευεις με τυπτεσθαι
And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οι δε παρεστωτες ειπαν τον αρχιερεα του θεου λοιδορεις
And Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he was high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of thy people.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εφη τε ο παυλος ουκ ηδειν αδελφοι οτι εστιν αρχιερευς γεγραπται γαρ οτι αρχοντα του λαου σου ουκ ερεις κακως
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees: touching the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881γνους δε ο παυλος οτι το εν μερος εστιν σαδδουκαιων το δε ετερον φαρισαιων εκραζεν εν τω συνεδριω ανδρες αδελφοι εγω φαρισαιος ειμι υιος φαρισαιων περι ελπιδος και αναστασεως νεκρων κρινομαι
And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees; and the assembly was divided.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881τουτο δε αυτου λαλουντος εγενετο στασις των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων και εσχισθη το πληθος
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881σαδδουκαιοι γαρ λεγουσιν μη ειναι αναστασιν μητε αγγελον μητε πνευμα φαρισαιοι δε ομολογουσιν τα αμφοτερα
And there arose a great clamor: and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: and what if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εγενετο δε κραυγη μεγαλη και ανασταντες τινες των γραμματεων του μερους των φαρισαιων διεμαχοντο λεγοντες ουδεν κακον ευρισκομεν εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω ει δε πνευμα ελαλησεν αυτω η αγγελος
And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881πολλης δε γινομενης στασεως φοβηθεις ο χιλιαρχος μη διασπασθη ο παυλος υπ αυτων εκελευσεν το στρατευμα καταβαν αρπασαι αυτον εκ μεσου αυτων αγειν εις την παρεμβολην
And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer: for as thou hast testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881τη δε επιουση νυκτι επιστας αυτω ο κυριος ειπεν θαρσει ως γαρ διεμαρτυρω τα περι εμου εις ιερουσαλημ ουτως σε δει και εις ρωμην μαρτυρησαι
And when it was day, the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881γενομενης δε ημερας ποιησαντες συστροφην οι ιουδαιοι ανεθεματισαν εαυτους λεγοντες μητε φαγειν μητε πειν εως ου αποκτεινωσιν τον παυλον
And they were more than forty that made this conspiracy.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ησαν δε πλειους τεσσερακοντα οι ταυτην την συνωμοσιαν ποιησαμενοι
And they came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οιτινες προσελθοντες τοις αρχιερευσιν και τοις πρεσβυτεροις ειπαν αναθεματι ανεθεματισαμεν εαυτους μηδενος γευσασθαι εως ου αποκτεινωμεν τον παυλον
Now therefore do ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you, as though ye would judge of his case more exactly: and we, before he comes near, are ready to slay him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881νυν ουν υμεις εμφανισατε τω χιλιαρχω συν τω συνεδριω οπως καταγαγη αυτον εις υμας ως μελλοντας διαγινωσκειν ακριβεστερον τα περι αυτου ημεις δε προ του εγγισαι αυτον ετοιμοι εσμεν του ανελειν αυτον
But Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ακουσας δε ο υιος της αδελφης παυλου την ενεδραν παραγενομενος και εισελθων εις την παρεμβολην απηγγειλεν τω παυλω
And Paul called unto him one of the centurions, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain; for he hath something to tell him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881προσκαλεσαμενος δε ο παυλος ενα των εκατονταρχων εφη τον νεανιαν τουτον απαγε προς τον χιλιαρχον εχει γαρ απαγγειλαι τι αυτω
So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and saith, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and asked me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say to thee.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ο μεν ουν παραλαβων αυτον ηγαγεν προς τον χιλιαρχον και φησιν ο δεσμιος παυλος προσκαλεσαμενος με ηρωτησεν τουτον τον νεανιαν αγαγειν προς σε εχοντα τι λαλησαι σοι
And the chief captain took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, What is it that thou hast to tell me?
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881επιλαβομενος δε της χειρος αυτου ο χιλιαρχος και αναχωρησας κατ ιδιαν επυνθανετο τι εστιν ο εχεις απαγγειλαι μοι
And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul to-morrow unto the council, as though thou wouldest inquire somewhat more exactly concerning him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ειπεν δε οτι οι ιουδαιοι συνεθεντο του ερωτησαι σε οπως αυριον τον παυλον καταγαγης εις το συνεδριον ως μελλων τι ακριβεστερον πυνθανεσθαι περι αυτου
Do not thou therefore yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor to drink till they have slain him: and now are they ready, looking for the promise from thee.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881συ ουν μη πεισθης αυτοις ενεδρευουσιν γαρ αυτον εξ αυτων ανδρες πλειους τεσσερακοντα οιτινες ανεθεματισαν εαυτους μητε φαγειν μητε πειν εως ου ανελωσιν αυτον και νυν εισιν ετοιμοι προσδεχομενοι την απο σου επαγγελιαν
So the chief captain let the young man go, charging him, Tell no man that thou hast signified these things to me.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ο μεν ουν χιλιαρχος απελυσεν τον νεανισκον παραγγειλας μηδενι εκλαλησαι οτι ταυτα ενεφανισας προς εμε
And he called unto him two of the centurions, and said, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και προσκαλεσαμενος τινας δυο των εκατονταρχων ειπεν ετοιμασατε στρατιωτας διακοσιους οπως πορευθωσιν εως καισαριας και ιππεις εβδομηκοντα και δεξιολαβους διακοσιους απο τριτης ωρας της νυκτος
and [he bade them] provide beasts, that they might set Paul thereon, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881κτηνη τε παραστησαι ινα επιβιβασαντες τον παυλον διασωσωσιν προς φηλικα τον ηγεμονα
And he wrote a letter after this form:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881γραψας επιστολην εχουσαν τον τυπον τουτον
Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881κλαυδιος λυσιας τω κρατιστω ηγεμονι φηλικι χαιρειν
This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be slain of them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881τον ανδρα τουτον συλλημφθεντα υπο των ιουδαιων και μελλοντα αναιρεισθαι υπ αυτων επιστας συν τω στρατευματι εξειλαμην μαθων οτι ρωμαιος εστιν
And desiring to know the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him down unto their council:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881βουλομενος τε επιγνωναι την αιτιαν δι ην ενεκαλουν αυτω [κατηγαγον εις το συνεδριον αυτων]
whom I found to be accused about questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ον ευρον εγκαλουμενον περι ζητηματων του νομου αυτων μηδεν δε αξιον θανατου η δεσμων εχοντα εγκλημα
And when it was shown to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to thee forthwith, charging his accusers also to speak against him before thee.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881μηνυθεισης δε μοι επιβουλης εις τον ανδρα εσεσθαι εξαυτης επεμψα προς σε παραγγειλας και τοις κατηγοροις λεγειν προς αυτον επι σου
So the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οι μεν ουν στρατιωται κατα το διατεταγμενον αυτοις αναλαβοντες τον παυλον ηγαγον δια νυκτος εις την αντιπατριδα
But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881τη δε επαυριον εασαντες τους ιππεις απερχεσθαι συν αυτω υπεστρεψαν εις την παρεμβολην
and they, when they came to Cæsarea and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οιτινες εισελθοντες εις την καισαριαν και αναδοντες την επιστολην τω ηγεμονι παρεστησαν και τον παυλον αυτω
And when he had read it, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia,
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881αναγνους δε και επερωτησας εκ ποιας επαρχειας εστιν και πυθομενος οτι απο κιλικιας
I will hear thee fully, said he, when thine accusers also are come: and he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s palace.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881διακουσομαι σου εφη οταν και οι κατηγοροι σου παραγενωνται κελευσας εν τω πραιτωριω του ηρωδου φυλασσεσθαι αυτον
And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with certain elders, and [with] an orator, one Tertullus; and they informed the governor against Paul.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881μετα δε πεντε ημερας κατεβη ο αρχιερευς ανανιας μετα πρεσβυτερων τινων και ρητορος τερτυλλου τινος οιτινες ενεφανισαν τω ηγεμονι κατα του παυλου
And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy much peace, and that by thy providence evils are corrected for this nation,
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881κληθεντος δε [αυτου] ηρξατο κατηγορειν ο τερτυλλος λεγων [24:3] πολλης ειρηνης τυγχανοντες δια σου και διορθωματων γινομενων τω εθνει τουτω δια της σης προνοιας
we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881παντη τε και πανταχου αποδεχομεθα κρατιστε φηλιξ μετα πασης ευχαριστιας
But, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I entreat thee to hear us of thy clemency a few words.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ινα δε μη επι πλειον σε εγκοπτω παρακαλω ακουσαι σε ημων συντομως τη ση επιεικεια
For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ευροντες γαρ τον ανδρα τουτον λοιμον και κινουντα στασεις πασιν τοις ιουδαιοις τοις κατα την οικουμενην πρωτοστατην τε της των ναζωραιων αιρεσεως
who moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ος και το ιερον επειρασεν βεβηλωσαι ον και εκρατησαμεν
from whom thou wilt be able, by examining him thyself, to take knowledge of all these things whereof we accuse him.
And the Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that these things were so.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881συνεπεθεντο δε και οι ιουδαιοι φασκοντες ταυτα ουτως εχειν
And when the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, Paul answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I cheerfully make my defence:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881απεκριθη τε ο παυλος νευσαντος αυτω του ηγεμονος λεγειν εκ πολλων ετων οντα σε κριτην τω εθνει τουτω επισταμενος ευθυμως τα περι εμαυτου απολογουμαι
seeing that thou canst take knowledge that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881δυναμενου σου επιγνωναι οτι ου πλειους εισιν μοι ημεραι δωδεκα αφ ης ανεβην προσκυνησων εις ιερουσαλημ
and neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και ουτε εν τω ιερω ευρον με προς τινα διαλεγομενον η επιστασιν ποιουντα οχλου ουτε εν ταις συναγωγαις ουτε κατα την πολιν
Neither can they prove to thee the things whereof they now accuse me.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ουδε παραστησαι δυνανται σοι περι ων νυνι κατηγορουσιν μου
But this I confess unto thee, that after the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ομολογω δε τουτο σοι οτι κατα την οδον ην λεγουσιν αιρεσιν ουτως λατρευω τω πατρωω θεω πιστευων πασιν τοις κατα τον νομον και τοις εν τοις προφηταις γεγραμμενοις
having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ελπιδα εχων εις τον θεον ην και αυτοι ουτοι προσδεχονται αναστασιν μελλειν εσεσθαι δικαιων τε και αδικων
Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εν τουτω και αυτος ασκω απροσκοπον συνειδησιν εχειν προς τον θεον και τους ανθρωπους δια παντος
Now after some years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881δι ετων δε πλειονων ελεημοσυνας ποιησων εις το εθνος μου παρεγενομην και προσφορας
amidst which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult: but [there were] certain Jews from Asia—
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εν αις ευρον με ηγνισμενον εν τω ιερω ου μετα οχλου ουδε μετα θορυβου τινες δε απο της ασιας ιουδαιοι
who ought to have been here before thee, and to make accusation, if they had aught against me.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ους εδει επι σου παρειναι και κατηγορειν ει τι εχοιεν προς εμε
Or else let these men themselves say what wrong-doing they found when I stood before the council,
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881η αυτοι ουτοι ειπατωσαν τι ευρον αδικημα σταντος μου επι του συνεδριου
except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question before you this day.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881η περι μιας ταυτης φωνης ης εκεκραξα εν αυτοις εστως οτι περι αναστασεως νεκρων εγω κρινομαι σημερον εφ υμων
But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will determine your matter.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ανεβαλετο δε αυτους ο φηλιξ ακριβεστερον ειδως τα περι της οδου ειπας οταν λυσιας ο χιλιαρχος καταβη διαγνωσομαι τα καθ υμας
And he gave order to the centurion that he should be kept in charge, and should have indulgence; and not to forbid any of his friends to minister unto him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881διαταξαμενος τω εκατονταρχη τηρεισθαι αυτον εχειν τε ανεσιν και μηδενα κωλυειν των ιδιων αυτου υπηρετειν αυτω
But after certain days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881μετα δε ημερας τινας παραγενομενος ο φηλιξ συν δρουσιλλη τη ιδια γυναικι ουση ιουδαια μετεπεμψατο τον παυλον και ηκουσεν αυτου περι της εις χριστον ιησουν πιστεως
And as he reasoned of righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, Go thy way for this time; and when I have a convenient season, I will call thee unto me.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881διαλεγομενου δε αυτου περι δικαιοσυνης και εγκρατειας και του κριματος του μελλοντος εμφοβος γενομενος ο φηλιξ απεκριθη το νυν εχον πορευου καιρον δε μεταλαβων μετακαλεσομαι σε
He hoped withal that money would be given him of Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881αμα και ελπιζων οτι χρηματα δοθησεται [αυτω] υπο του παυλου διο και πυκνοτερον αυτον μεταπεμπομενος ωμιλει αυτω
But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881διετιας δε πληρωθεισης ελαβεν διαδοχον ο φηλιξ πορκιον φηστον θελων τε χαριτα καταθεσθαι τοις ιουδαιοις ο φηλιξ κατελιπεν τον παυλον δεδεμενον
Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Cæsarea.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881φηστος ουν επιβας τη επαρχεια μετα τρεις ημερας ανεβη εις ιεροσολυμα απο καισαριας
And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him,
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ενεφανισαν τε αυτω οι αρχιερεις και οι πρωτοι των ιουδαιων κατα του παυλου και παρεκαλουν αυτον
asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881αιτουμενοι χαριν κατ αυτου οπως μεταπεμψηται αυτον εις ιερουσαλημ ενεδραν ποιουντες ανελειν αυτον κατα την οδον
Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Cæsarea, and that he himself was about to depart [thither] shortly.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ο μεν ουν φηστος απεκριθη τηρεισθαι τον παυλον εις καισαριαν εαυτον δε μελλειν εν ταχει εκπορευεσθαι
Let them therefore, saith he, that are of power among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οι ουν εν υμιν φησιν δυνατοι συγκαταβαντες ει τι εστιν εν τω ανδρι ατοπον κατηγορειτωσαν αυτου
And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Cæsarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881διατριψας δε εν αυτοις ημερας ου πλειους οκτω η δεκα καταβας εις καισαριαν τη επαυριον καθισας επι του βηματος εκελευσεν τον παυλον αχθηναι
And when he was come, the Jews that had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove;
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881παραγενομενου δε αυτου περιεστησαν αυτον οι απο ιεροσολυμων καταβεβηκοτες ιουδαιοι πολλα και βαρεα αιτιωματα καταφεροντες α ουκ ισχυον αποδειξαι
while Paul said in his defence, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Cæsar, have I sinned at all.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881του παυλου απολογουμενου οτι ουτε εις τον νομον των ιουδαιων ουτε εις το ιερον ουτε εις καισαρα τι ημαρτον
But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ο φηστος δε θελων τοις ιουδαιοις χαριν καταθεσθαι αποκριθεις τω παυλω ειπεν θελεις εις ιεροσολυμα αναβας εκει περι τουτων κριθηναι επ εμου
But Paul said, I am standing before Cæsar’s judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ειπεν δε ο παυλος εστως επι του βηματος καισαρος ειμι ου με δει κρινεσθαι ιουδαιους ουδεν ηδικηκα ως και συ καλλιον επιγινωσκεις
If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if none of those things is [true] whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Cæsar.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ει μεν ουν αδικω και αξιον θανατου πεπραχα τι ου παραιτουμαι το αποθανειν ει δε ουδεν εστιν ων ουτοι κατηγορουσιν μου ουδεις με δυναται αυτοις χαρισασθαι καισαρα επικαλουμαι
Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Cæsar: unto Cæsar shalt thou go.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881τοτε ο φηστος συλλαλησας μετα του συμβουλιου απεκριθη καισαρα επικεκλησαι επι καισαρα πορευση
Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Cæsarea, and saluted Festus.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ημερων δε διαγενομενων τινων αγριππας ο βασιλευς και βερνικη κατηντησαν εις καισαριαν ασπασαμενοι τον φηστον
And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ως δε πλειους ημερας διετριβον εκει ο φηστος τω βασιλει ανεθετο τα κατα τον παυλον λεγων ανηρ τις εστιν καταλελειμμενος υπο φηλικος δεσμιος
about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed [me], asking for sentence against him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881περι ου γενομενου μου εις ιεροσολυμα ενεφανισαν οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι των ιουδαιων αιτουμενοι κατ αυτου καταδικην
To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defence concerning the matter laid against him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881προς ους απεκριθην οτι ουκ εστιν εθος ρωμαιοις χαριζεσθαι τινα ανθρωπον πριν η ο κατηγορουμενος κατα προσωπον εχοι τους κατηγορους τοπον τε απολογιας λαβοι περι του εγκληματος
When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881συνελθοντων ουν ενθαδε αναβολην μηδεμιαν ποιησαμενος τη εξης καθισας επι του βηματος εκελευσα αχθηναι τον ανδρα
