15 And after these days ἡμέρας hēmeras G2250 we took up our baggage and went G305 up to Jerusalem Ἱεροσόλυμα. Hi'erosoluma G2414 . 16 And there went with us also καὶ kai G2532 certain τινι tini G5100 of the disciples G3101 from Cæsarea, bringing G71 with them one G5100 Mnason of Cyprus , an early ἀρχαίῳ archaiō G744 disciple G3101 , with whom we should lodge . 17 And when we were come G1096 to Jerusalem Ἱεροσόλυμα Hi'erosoluma G2414 , the brethren received us gladly . 18 And the day following Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 went in with us unto James Ἰάκωβον, Iakōbon G2385 ; and all the elders πρεσβύτεροι. presbuteroi G4245 were present . 19 And when he had saluted them , he rehearsed one ἓν hen G1520 by one G1520 the things ὧν hōn G3739 which God θεὸς theos G2316 had wrought among the Gentiles ἔθνεσιν ethnesin G1484 through his ministry διακονίας diakonias G1248 . 20 And they , when they heard G191 it , glorified ἐδόξαζον edoxazon G1392 God θεόν, theon G2316 ; and they said G3004 unto him , Thou seest, brother ἀδελφέ, adelphe G80 , how πόσαι posai G4214 many G4214 thousands there are G1510 among the Jews Ἰουδαίοις Ioudaiois G2453 of them that have believed G4100 ; and they are G1510 all zealous ζηλωταὶ zēlōtai G2207 for the law νόμου nomou G3551 : 21 and they have been informed concerning G4012 thee, that thou teachest all the Jews Ἰουδαίους Ioudaious G2453 who are among the Gentiles ἔθνη ethnē G1484 to forsake Moses Μωϋσέως Mōuseōs G3475 , telling G3004 them not to circumcise περιτέμνειν peritemnein G4059 their children G5043 , neither to walk περιπατεῖν. peripatein G4043 after the customs ἔθεσιν ethesin G1485 . 22 What is G1510 it therefore G3767 ? they will certainly hear ἀκούσονται akousontai G191 that thou art come ἐλήλυθας. elēluthas G2064 . 23 Do therefore οὖν oun G3767 this that we say λέγομεν· legomen G3004 to thee: We have four τέσσαρες tessares G5064 men G435 that have a vow εὐχὴν euchēn G2171 on them ; 24 these take G3880 , and purify G48 thyself with them , and be G1510 at charges for them , that they may shave their heads κεφαλήν, kephalēn G2776 : and all shall know γνώσονται gnōsontai G1097 that there is G1510 no truth in the things G3778 whereof they have been G1510 informed concerning G4012 thee; but that thou thyself also G2532 walkest orderly , keeping φυλάσσων phulassōn G5442 the law νόμον. nomon G3551 . 25 But as touching the Gentiles ἐθνῶν ethnōn G1484 that have believed G4100 , we wrote , giving judgment that they should keep φυλάσσεσθαι phulassesthai G5442 themselves from things sacrificed to idols , and from blood αἷμα haima G129 , and from what is strangled , and from fornication . 26 Then Τότε Tote G5119 Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 took G3880 the men G435 , and the next day ἡμέρᾳ hēmera G2250 purifying G48 himself with them went into the temple , declaring the fulfilment of the days ἡμερῶν hēmerōn G2250 of purification , until the offering G4376 was offered προσηνέχθη prosēnechthē G4374 for every one ἑνὸς henos G1520 of them . 29 For they had before seen with him in the city πόλει polei G4172 Trophimus Τρόφιμον Trophimon G5161 the Ephesian G2180 , whom they supposed that Paul Παῦλος. Paulos G3972 had brought G1521 into the temple . 30 And all the city πόλις polis G4172 was moved G2795 , and the people λαοῦ, laou G2992 ran together ; and they laid hold ἐπιλαβόμενοι epilabomenoi G1949 on Paul Παύλου Paulou G3972 , and dragged him out of the temple : and straightway the doors θύραι. thurai G2374 were shut ἐκλείσθησαν ekleisthēsan G2808 . 31 And as they were seeking ζητούντων zētountōn G2212 to kill ἀποκτεῖναι apokteinai G615 him , tidings came G305 up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem Ἰερουσαλήμ· Ierousalēm G2419 was in confusion . 32 And forthwith he took G3880 soldiers στρατιώτας stratiōtas G4757 and centurions ἑκατοντάρχας hekatontarchas G1543 , and ran down upon them : and they , when they saw G3708 the chief captain and the soldiers στρατιώτας stratiōtas G4757 , left off beating τύπτοντες tuptontes G5180 Paul Παῦλον. Paulon G3972 . 33 Then the chief captain came near , and laid hold ἐπελάβετο epelabeto G1949 on him , and commanded ἐκέλευσεν ekeleusen G2753 him to be G1510 bound G1210 with two δυσὶν dusin G1417 chains ἁλύσεσιν halusesin G254 ; and inquired G4441 who he was G1510 , and what he had done . 34 And some shouted one τι ti G5100 thing , some another , among the crowd ὄχλῳ. ochlō G3793 : and when he could not know γνῶναι gnōnai G1097 the certainty for the uproar θόρυβον thorubon G2351 , he commanded G2753 him to be brought G71 into the castle. 35 And when ὅτε hote G3753 he came G1096 upon the stairs ἀναβαθμούς, anabathmous G304 , so it was that he was borne G941 of the soldiers στρατιωτῶν stratiōtōn G4757 for the violence βίαν bian G970 of the crowd ὄχλου· ochlou G3793 ; 36 for the multitude πλῆθος plēthos G4128 of the people λαοῦ laou G2992 followed ἠκολούθει ēkolouthei G190 after , crying κράζοντες· krazontes G2896 out , Away αἶρε aire G142 with him . 37 And as Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 was about to be brought G1521 into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say λέγει legei G3004 something τι ti G5100 unto thee? And he said G3004 , Dost thou know γινώσκεις; ginōskeis G1097 Greek ἑλληνιστὶ hellēnisti G1676 ? 38 Art thou not then the Egyptian Αἰγύπτιος Aiguptios G124 , who before these days ἡμερῶν hēmerōn G2250 stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness ἔρημον erēmon G2048 the four τετρακισχιλίους tetrakischilious G5070 thousand G5070 men G435 of the Assassins ? 40 And when he had given him leave, Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 , standing G2476 on the stairs ἀναβαθμῶν anabathmōn G304 , beckoned with the hand χειρὶ cheiri G5495 unto the people λαῷ, laō G2992 ; and when there was made a great πολλῆς pollēs G4183 silence σιγῆς sigēs G4602 , he spake unto them in the Hebrew Ἑβραΐδι Hebraidi G1446 language διαλέκτῳ dialektō G1258 , saying λέγων·¶ legōn G3004 , Read all of Acts 21 ← Acts 20 Acts 22 → American Standard Version — 1901 — Public Domain
