1 And when G5613 , having got away G575 from them , we at last sailed away G575 , we came G2064 by a direct course to Cos , and on the morrow to Rhodes , and thence to Patara . 2 And having found G2147 a ship G4143 passing over into Phoenicia Φοινίκην Phoinikēn G5403 , we went on board and sailed; 3 and having sighted Cyprus Κύπρον Kupron G2954 , and left G2641 it on the left G2641 hand , we sailed ἐπλέομεν epleomen G4126 to Syria Συρίαν Surian G4947 , and made the land at Tyre Τύρον· Turon G5184 , for there the ship πλοῖον ploion G4143 was G1510 to discharge her cargo γόμον.¶ gomon G1117 . 4 And having found out the disciples G3101 , we remained there seven ἑπτά, hepta G2033 days ἡμέρας hēmeras G2250 ; who said G3004 to Paul Παύλῳ Paulō G3972 by the Spirit πνεύματος pneumatos G4151 not to go up to Jerusalem Ἱεροσόλυμα. Hi'erosoluma G2414 . 5 But when ὅτε hote G3753 we had completed the days ἡμέρας, hēmeras G2250 , we set G5087 out and took our journey , all of them accompanying προπεμπόντων propempontōn G4311 us , with wives G1135 and children G5043 , till [ we were ] out of the city πόλεως, poleōs G4172 . And kneeling down G5087 upon the shore we prayed προσευξάμενοι proseuxamenoi G4336 . 6 And having embraced one ἀλλήλους allēlous G240 another , we went G305 on board ship G4143 , and they returned ὑπέστρεψαν hupestrepsan G5290 home . 7 And we , having completed the voyage πλοῦν ploun G4144 , arrived from Tyre Τύρου Turou G5184 at Ptolemais , and having saluted the brethren , we remained G3306 one μίαν mian G1520 day ἡμέραν hēmeran G2250 with them . 8 And leaving on the morrow, we came G2064 to Caesarea Καισάρειαν, Kaisareian G2542 ; and entering εἰσελθόντες eiselthontes G1525 into the house οἶκον oikon G3624 of Philip Φιλίππου Philippou G5376 the evangelist εὐαγγελιστοῦ euangelistou G2099 , who was G1510 of the seven ἑπτὰ hepta G2033 , we abode with him . 9 Now δὲ de G1161 this man τούτῳ toutō G3778 had four τέσσαρες tessares G5064 virgin παρθένοι parthenoi G3933 daughters θυγατέρες thugateres G2364 who prophesied προφητεύουσαι.¶ prophēteuousai G4395 . 10 And as we stayed there many πλείους pleious G4183 days ἡμέρας hēmeras G2250 , a certain τις tis G5100 man , by name G3686 Agabus Ἅγαβος, Hagabos G13 , a prophet προφήτης prophētēs G4396 , came G2718 down κατῆλθέν katēlthen G2718 from Judaea, 12 And when ὡς hōs G5613 we heard G191 these things ταῦτα, tauta G3778 , both we and those of the place besought [ him ] not to go ἀναβαίνειν anabainein G305 up to Jerusalem Ἰερουσαλήμ. Ierousalēm G2419 . 13 But Paul Παῦλος· Paulos G3972 answered ἀπεκρίθη apekrithē G611 , What do ye, weeping κλαίοντες klaiontes G2799 and breaking my heart καρδίαν; kardian G2588 ? for I am ready G2093 not only G3440 to be bound G1210 , but also G2532 to die ἀποθανεῖν apothanein G599 at Jerusalem Ἰερουσαλὴμ Ierousalēm G2419 for the name ὀνόματος onomatos G3686 of the Lord κυρίου kuriou G2962 Jesus Ἰησοῦ. Iēsou G2424 . 14 And when he would not be persuaded G3982 , we were silent ἡσυχάσαμεν hēsuchasamen G2270 , saying G3004 , The will of the Lord κυρίου kuriou G2962 be done . 15 And after these days ἡμέρας hēmeras G2250 , having got our effects ready, we went G305 up to Jerusalem Ἱεροσόλυμα. Hi'erosoluma G2414 . 16 And [ some ] of the disciples G3101 from Caesarea Καισαρείας Kaisareias G2542 went with us , bringing G71 [ with them ] a certain τινι tini G5100 Mnason , a Cyprian , an old G744 disciple G3101 , with whom we were to lodge . 17 And when we arrived at Jerusalem Ἱεροσόλυμα Hi'erosoluma G2414 the brethren gladly received us . 18 And on the morrow Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 went in with us to James Ἰάκωβον, Iakōbon G2385 , and all the elders πρεσβύτεροι. presbuteroi G4245 came G3854 there . 19 And having saluted them , he related one ἓν hen G1520 by one G1520 the things ὧν hōn G3739 which God θεὸς theos G2316 had wrought among the nations G1484 by his ministry διακονίας diakonias G1248 . 21 And they have been informed concerning G4012 thee, that thou teachest all the Jews Ἰουδαίους Ioudaious G2453 among the nations G1484 apostasy ἀποστασίαν apostasian G646 from Moses Μωϋσέως Mōuseōs G3475 , saying G3004 that they should not circumcise περιτέμνειν peritemnein G4059 their children G5043 , nor walk περιπατεῖν. peripatein G4043 in the customs ἔθεσιν ethesin G1485 . 23 This do therefore οὖν oun G3767 that we say λέγομεν· legomen G3004 to thee: We have four τέσσαρες tessares G5064 men G435 who have a vow εὐχὴν euchēn G2171 on them ; 24 take G3880 these and be G1510 purified G48 with them , and pay their expenses , that they may have their heads κεφαλήν, kephalēn G2776 shaved ; and all will know γνώσονται gnōsontai G1097 that [ of those things G3778 ] of which they have been G1510 informed about thee nothing is G1510 [true]; but that thou thyself also G2532 walkest orderly , keeping φυλάσσων phulassōn G5442 the law νόμον. nomon G3551 . 25 But concerning περὶ peri G4012 [ those of ] the nations G1484 who have believed G4100 , we have written , deciding that they should [ observe no such thing , only to ] keep φυλάσσεσθαι phulassesthai G5442 themselves both from things offered to idols , and from blood αἷμα haima G129 , and from things strangled , and from fornication . 26 Then Τότε Tote G5119 Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 , taking G3880 the men G435 , on the next day ἡμέρᾳ hēmera G2250 , having been purified G48 , entered with them into the temple , signifying the time the days ἡμερῶν hēmerōn G2250 of the purification would be fulfilled, until the offering G4376 was offered προσηνέχθη prosēnechthē G4374 for every one ἑνὸς henos G1520 of them . 27 And when ὡς hōs G5613 the seven ἑπτὰ hepta G2033 days ἡμέραι hēmerai G2250 were nearly completed, the Jews Ἰουδαῖοι Ioudaioi G2453 from Asia Ἀσίας Asias G773 , having seen G2300 him in the temple , set all the crowd ὄχλον ochlon G3793 in a tumult, and laid G1911 hands χεῖρας cheiras G5495 upon him , 28 crying κράζοντες· krazontes G2896 , Israelites Ἰσραηλῖται, Israēlitai G2475 , help βοηθεῖτε. boētheite G997 ! this is G1510 the man ἄνθρωπος anthrōpos G444 who teaches διδάσκων, didaskōn G1321 all everywhere G3837 against the people λαοῦ laou G2992 , and the law νόμου nomou G3551 , and this place τόπου topou G5117 , and has brought G1521 Greeks Ἕλληνας Hellēnas G1672 too into the temple ἱερὸν hi'eron G2411 , and profaned this holy ἅγιον hagion G40 place τόπον topon G5117 . 29 For they had before seen Trophimus Τρόφιμον Trophimon G5161 the Ephesian G2180 with him in the city πόλει polei G4172 , whom they supposed that Paul Παῦλος. Paulos G3972 had brought G1521 into the temple . 30 And the whole ὅλη holē G3650 city πόλις polis G4172 was moved G2795 , and there was a concourse of the people λαοῦ, laou G2992 ; and having laid hold ἐπιλαβόμενοι epilabomenoi G1949 on Paul Παύλου Paulou G3972 they drew G1670 him out of the temple , and immediately εὐθέως eutheōs G2112 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 , a representation came G305 to the chiliarch of the band that the whole G3650 of Jerusalem Ἰερουσαλήμ· Ierousalēm G2419 was in a tumult; 32 who , taking G3880 with him immediately G1824 soldiers στρατιώτας stratiōtas G4757 and centurions ἑκατοντάρχας hekatontarchas G1543 , ran down upon them . But they , seeing G3708 the chiliarch and the soldiers στρατιώτας stratiōtas G4757 , ceased G3973 beating τύπτοντες tuptontes G5180 Paul Παῦλον. Paulon G3972 . 33 Then the chiliarch came up and laid hold ἐπελάβετο epelabeto G1949 upon 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 might be G1510 , and what he had done . 34 And different persons cried some different thing in the crowd ὄχλῳ. ochlō G3793 . But he , not being able δυναμένου dunamenou G1410 to know γνῶναι gnōnai G1097 the certainty on account διὰ dia G1223 of the uproar θόρυβον thorubon G2351 , commanded G2753 him to be brought G71 into the fortress. 35 But when ὅτε hote G3753 he got upon the stairs ἀναβαθμούς, anabathmous G304 it was so that he was borne G941 by the soldiers στρατιωτῶν stratiōtōn G4757 on account G1223 of 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 , crying κράζοντες· krazontes G2896 , Away αἶρε aire G142 with him . 37 But as he was about to be led into the fortress, Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 says λέγει legei G3004 to the chiliarch, Is it allowed me to say G3004 something τι ti G5100 to thee? And he said G3004 , Dost thou know γινώσκεις; ginōskeis G1097 Greek ἑλληνιστὶ hellēnisti G1676 ? 38 Thou art not then that Egyptian Αἰγύπτιος Aiguptios G124 who before these days ἡμερῶν hēmerōn G2250 raised a 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 allowed G2010 him , Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 , standing G2476 on the stairs ἀναβαθμῶν anabathmōn G304 , beckoned with his hand χειρὶ cheiri G5495 to the people λαῷ, laō G2992 ; and a great πολλῆς pollēs G4183 silence σιγῆς sigēs G4602 having been made , he addressed them in the Hebrew Ἑβραΐδι Hebraidi G1446 tongue, saying λέγων·¶ legōn G3004 , ← Acts 20 Acts 22 → Darby Bible — 1889 — Public Domain
