Acts 28
1 When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
και διασωθεντεσ τοτε επεγνωσαν οτι μελιτη η νησοσ καλειται
2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.
οι δε βαρβαροι παρειχον ου την τυχουσαν φιλανθρωπιαν ημιν αναψαντεσ γαρ πυραν προσελαβοντο παντασ ημασ δια τον υετον τον εφεστωτα και δια το ψυχοσ
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.
συστρεψαντοσ δε του παυλου φρυγανων πληθοσ και επιθεντοσ επι την πυραν εχιδνα εκ τησ θερμησ διεξελθουσα καθηψεν τησ χειροσ αυτου
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”
ωσ δε ειδον οι βαρβαροι κρεμαμενον το θηριον εκ τησ χειροσ αυτου ελεγον προσ αλληλουσ παντωσ φονευσ εστιν ο ανθρωποσ ουτοσ ον διασωθεντα εκ τησ θαλασσησ η δικη ζην ουκ ειασεν
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.
ο μεν ουν αποτιναξασ το θηριον εισ το πυρ επαθεν ουδεν κακον
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
οι δε προσεδοκων αυτον μελλειν πιμπρασθαι η καταπιπτειν αφνω νεκρον επι πολυ δε αυτων προσδοκωντων και θεωρουντων μηδεν ατοπον εισ αυτον γινομενον μεταβαλλομενοι ελεγον θεον αυτον ειναι
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.
εν δε τοισ περι τον τοπον εκεινον υπηρχεν χωρια τω πρωτω τησ νησου ονοματι ποπλιω οσ αναδεξαμενοσ ημασ τρεισ ημερασ φιλοφρονωσ εξενισεν
8 The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
εγενετο δε τον πατερα του ποπλιου πυρετοισ και δυσεντερια συνεχομενον κατακεισθαι προσ ον ο παυλοσ εισελθων και προσευξαμενοσ επιθεισ τασ χειρασ αυτω ιασατο αυτον
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
τουτου ουν γενομενου και οι λοιποι οι εχοντεσ ασθενειασ εν τη νησω προσηρχοντο και εθεραπευοντο
10 They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
οι και πολλαισ τιμαισ ετιμησαν ημασ και αναγομενοισ επεθεντο τα προσ την χρειαν
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
μετα δε τρεισ μηνασ ηχθημεν εν πλοιω παρακεχειμακοτι εν τη νησω αλεξανδρινω παρασημω διοσκουροισ
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
και καταχθεντεσ εισ συρακουσασ επεμειναμεν ημερασ τρεισ
13 From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
οθεν περιελθοντεσ κατηντησαμεν εισ ρηγιον και μετα μιαν ημεραν επιγενομενου νοτου δευτεραιοι ηλθομεν εισ ποτιολουσ
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
ου ευροντεσ αδελφουσ παρεκληθημεν επ αυτοισ επιμειναι ημερασ επτα και ουτωσ εισ την ρωμην ηλθομεν
15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
κακειθεν οι αδελφοι ακουσαντεσ τα περι ημων εξηλθον εισ απαντησιν ημιν αχρι αππιου φορου και τριων ταβερνων ουσ ιδων ο παυλοσ ευχαριστησασ τω θεω ελαβεν θαρσοσ
16 When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
οτε δε ηλθομεν εισ ρωμην ο εκατονταρχοσ παρεδωκεν τουσ δεσμιουσ τω στρατοπεδαρχη τω δε παυλω επετραπη μενειν καθ εαυτον συν τω φυλασσοντι αυτον στρατιωτη
17 After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
εγενετο δε μετα ημερασ τρεισ συγκαλεσασθαι τον παυλον τουσ οντασ των ιουδαιων πρωτουσ συνελθοντων δε αυτων ελεγεν προσ αυτουσ ανδρεσ αδελφοι εγω ουδεν εναντιον ποιησασ τω λαω η τοισ εθεσιν τοισ πατρωοισ δεσμιοσ εξ ιεροσολυμων παρεδοθην εισ τασ χειρασ των ρωμαιων
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
οιτινεσ ανακριναντεσ με εβουλοντο απολυσαι δια το μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου υπαρχειν εν εμοι
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
αντιλεγοντων δε των ιουδαιων ηναγκασθην επικαλεσασθαι καισαρα ουχ ωσ του εθνουσ μου εχων τι κατηγορησαι
20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
δια ταυτην ουν την αιτιαν παρεκαλεσα υμασ ιδειν και προσλαλησαι ενεκεν γαρ τησ ελπιδοσ του ισραηλ την αλυσιν ταυτην περικειμαι
21 They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
οι δε προσ αυτον ειπον ημεισ ουτε γραμματα περι σου εδεξαμεθα απο τησ ιουδαιασ ουτε παραγενομενοσ τισ των αδελφων απηγγειλεν η ελαλησεν τι περι σου πονηρον
22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”
αξιουμεν δε παρα σου ακουσαι α φρονεισ περι μεν γαρ τησ αιρεσεωσ ταυτησ γνωστον εστιν ημιν οτι πανταχου αντιλεγεται
23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
ταξαμενοι δε αυτω ημεραν ηκον προσ αυτον εισ την ξενιαν πλειονεσ οισ εξετιθετο διαμαρτυρομενοσ την βασιλειαν του θεου πειθων τε αυτουσ τα περι του ιησου απο τε του νομου μωυσεωσ και των προφητων απο πρωι εωσ εσπερασ
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
και οι μεν επειθοντο τοισ λεγομενοισ οι δε ηπιστουν
25 When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
ασυμφωνοι δε οντεσ προσ αλληλουσ απελυοντο ειποντοσ του παυλου ρημα εν οτι καλωσ το πνευμα το αγιον ελαλησεν δια ησαιου του προφητου προσ τουσ πατερασ ημων
26 saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
λεγον πορευθητι προσ τον λαον τουτον και ειπον ακοη ακουσετε και ου μη συνητε και βλεποντεσ βλεψετε και ου μη ιδητε
27 For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’
επαχυνθη γαρ η καρδια του λαου τουτου και τοισ ωσιν βαρεωσ ηκουσαν και τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτων εκαμμυσαν μηποτε ιδωσιν τοισ οφθαλμοισ και τοισ ωσιν ακουσωσιν και τη καρδια συνωσιν και επιστρεψωσιν και ιασομαι αυτουσ
28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
γνωστον ουν εστω υμιν οτι τοισ εθνεσιν απεσταλη το σωτηριον του θεου αυτοι και ακουσονται
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
και ταυτα αυτου ειποντοσ απηλθον οι ιουδαιοι πολλην εχοντεσ εν εαυτοισ συζητησιν
30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
εμεινεν δε ο παυλοσ διετιαν ολην εν ιδιω μισθωματι και απεδεχετο παντασ τουσ εισπορευομενουσ προσ αυτον
31 preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασησ παρρησιασ ακωλυτωσ
