Actuum Apostolorum 18

1 Post haec egressus ab Athenis, venit Corinthum:

After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

2 et inveniens quemdam Iudaeum nomine Aquilam, Ponticum genere, qui nuper venerat ab Italia, et Priscillam uxorem eius, (eo quod praecepisset Claudius discedere omnes Iudaeos a Roma) accessit ad eos.

And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome: ) and came unto them.

3 Et quia eiusdem erat artis, manebat apud eos, et operabatur: (erant autem scenofactoriae artis.)

And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

4 Et disputabat in synagoga per omne sabbatum, interponens nomen Domini Iesu, suadebatque Iudaeis, et Graecis.

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

5 Cum venissent autem de Macedonia Silas et Timotheus, instabat verbo Paulus, testificans Iudaeis esse Christum Iesum.

And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews [that] Jesus [was] Christ.

6 Contradicentibus autem eis, et blasphemantibus, excutiens vestimenta sua, dixit ad eos: Sanguis vester super caput vestrum: mundus ego, ex hoc ad Gentes vadam.

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

7 Et migrans inde, intravit in domum cuiusdam, nomine Titi Iusti, colentis Deum, cuius domus erat coniuncta synagogae.

And he departed thence, and entered into a certain [man’s] house, named Justus, [one] that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

8 Crispus autem archisynagogus credidit Domino cum omni domo sua: et multi Corinthiorum audientes credebant, et baptizabantur.

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

9 Dixit autem Dominus nocte per visionem Paulo: Noli timere, sed loquere, et ne taceas:

Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

10 propter quod ego sum tecum: et nemo apponetur tibi ut noceat te: quoniam populus est mihi multus in hac civitate.

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

11 Sedit autem ibi annum et sex menses, docens apud eos verbum Dei.

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

12 Gallione autem proconsule Achaiae, insurrexerunt uno animo Iudaei in Paulum, et adduxerunt eum ad tribunal,

And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

13 dicentes: Quia contra legem hic persuadet hominibus colere Deum.

Saying, This [fellow] persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

14 Incipiente autem Paulo aperire os, dixit Gallio ad Iudaeos: Si quidem esset iniquum aliquid, aut facinus pessimum o viri Iudaei, recte vos sustinerem.

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

15 Si vero quaestiones sunt de verbo, et nominibus, legis vestrae, vos ipsi videritis: Iudex ego horum nolo esse.

But if it be a question of words and names, and [of] your law, look ye [to it]; for I will be no judge of such [matters].

16 Et minavit eos a tribunali.

And he drave them from the judgment seat.

17 Apprehendentes autem omnes Sosthenem principem synagogae, percutiebant eum ante tribunal: et nihil eorum Gallioni curae erat.

Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat [him] before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.

18 Paulus vero cum adhuc sustinuisset dies multos, fratribus valefaciens, navigavit in Syriam, (et cum eo Priscilla, et Aquila) qui sibi totonderat in Cenchris caput: habebat enim votum.

And Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his] head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

19 Devenitque Ephesum, et illos ibi reliquit. Ipse vero ingressus synagogam, disputabat cum Iudaeis.

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

20 Rogantibus autem eis ut ampliori tempore maneret, non consensit,

When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;

21 sed valefaciens, et dicens, Iterum revertar ad vos Deo volente, profectus est ab Epheso.

But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.

22 Et descendens Caesaream, ascendit, et salutavit Ecclesiam, et descendit Antiochiam.

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

23 Et facto ibi aliquanto tempore profectus est, perambulans ex ordine Galatiam regionem, et Phrygiam, confirmans omnes discipulos.

And after he had spent some time [there], he departed, and went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

24 Iudaeus autem quidam, Apollo nomine, Alexandrinus genere, vir eloquens, devenit Ephesum, potens in scripturis.

And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

25 Hic erat edoctus viam Domini: et fervens spiritu loquebatur, et docebat diligenter ea, quae sunt Iesu, sciens tantum baptisma Ioannis.

This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

26 Hic ergo coepit fiducialiter agere in synagoga. Quem cum audissent Priscilla et Aquila, assumpserunt eum, et diligentius exposuerunt ei viam Domini.

And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto [them], and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

27 Cum autem vellet ire Achaiam, exhortati fratres, scripserunt discipulis ut susciperent eum. Qui cum venisset, contulit multum his, qui crediderant.

And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:

28 Vehementer enim Iudaeos revincebat publice, ostendens per Scripturas, esse Christum Iesum.

For he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that] publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
