| 1 | WHEN THE DISTURBANCE had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, said good-bye and set out on his journey to Macedonia. | Paul's Journey to Macedonia and Greece Ac.20.1-6 | Μετὰ δὲ τὸ παύσασθαι τὸν θόρυβον μεταπεμψάμενος ὁ Παῦλος τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ παρακαλέσας, ἀσπασάμενος ἐξῆλθεν πορεύεσθαι εἰς Μακεδονίαν. | |
| 2 | He travelled through those parts of the country, often speaking words of encouragement to the Christians there, and so came into Greece. | διελθὼν δὲ τὰ μέρη ἐκεῖνα καὶ παρακαλέσας αὐτοὺς λόγῳ πολλῷ ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν Ἑλλάδα, | ||
| 3 | When he had spent three months there and was on the point of embarking for Syria, a plot was laid against him by the Jews, so he decided to return by way of Macedonia. | Ac.20.3-21.26 | ποιήσας τε μῆνας τρεῖς γενομένης ἐπιβουλῆς αὐτῷ ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων μέλλοντι ἀνάγεσθαι εἰς τὴν Συρίαν ἐγένετο γνώμης τοῦ ὑποστρέφειν διὰ Μακεδονίας. | |
| 4 | He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus, from Beroea, the Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, Gaius the Doberian and Timothy, and the Asians Tychicus and Trophimus. | συνείπετο δὲ αὐτῷ Σώπατρος Πύρρου Βεροιαῖος, Θεσσαλονικέων δὲ Ἀρίσταρχος καὶ Σεκοῦνδος, καὶ Γάϊος Δερβαῖος καὶ Τιμόθεος, Ἀσιανοὶ δὲ Τυχικὸς καὶ Τρόφιμος. | ||
| 5 | These went ahead and waited for us at Troas; | οὗτοι δὲ προελθόντες ἐμενον ἡμᾶς ἐν Τρῳάδι· | ||
| 6 | we ourselves set sail from Philippi after the Passover season, and in five days reached them at Troas, where we spent a week. | ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐξεπλεύσαμεν μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας τῶν ἀζύμων ἀπὸ Φιλίππων, καὶ ἠλθομεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν Τρῳάδα ἀχρι ἡμερῶν πέντε, ὁπου διετρίψαμεν ἡμέρας ἑπτά. | ||
| 7 | On the Saturday night, in our assembly for the breaking of bread, Paul, who was to leave next day, addressed them, and went on speaking until midnight. | Paul's Farewell Visit to Troas Ac.20.7-12 | Ἐν δὲ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων συνηγμένων ἡμῶν κλάσαι ἀρτον ὁ Παῦλος διελέγετο αὐτοῖς, μέλλων ἐξιέναι τῇ ἐπαύριον, παρέτεινέν τε τὸν λόγον μέχρι μεσονυκτίου. | |
| 8 | Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled; | ἦσαν δὲ λαμπάδες ἱκαναὶ ἐν τῷ ὑπερῴῳ οὗ ἦμεν συνηγμένοι· | ||
| 9 | and a youth named Eutychus, who was sitting on the window-ledge, grew more and more sleepy as Paul went on talking. At last he was completely overcome by sleep, fell from the third storey to the ground, and was picked up for dead. | καθεζόμενος δέ τις νεανίας ὀνόματι Εὐτυχος ἐπὶ τῆς θυρίδος, καταφερόμενος ὑπνῳ βαθεῖ διαλεγομένου τοῦ Παύλου ἐπὶ πλεῖον, κατενεχθεὶς ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑπνου ἐπεσεν ἀπὸ τοῦ τριστέγ ου κάτω καὶ ἠρθη νεκρός. | ||
| 10 | Paul went down, threw himself upon him, seizing him in his arms, and said to them, 'Stop this commotion: there is still life in him.' | καταβὰς δὲ ὁ Παῦλος ἐπέπεσεν αὐτῷ καὶ συμπεριλαβὼν εἶπεν, Μὴ θορυβεῖσθε, ἡ γὰρ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ ἐστιν. | ||
| 11 | He then went upstairs, broke bread and ate, and after much conversation, which lasted until dawn, he departed. | ἀναβὰς δὲ καὶ κλάσας τὸν ἀρτον καὶ γευσάμενος ἐφ' ἱκανόν τε ὁμιλήσας ἀχρι αὐγῆς οὑτως ἐξῆλθεν. | ||
| 12 | And they took the boy away alive and were immensely comforted. | ἠγαγον δὲ τὸν παῖδα ζῶντα, καὶ παρεκλήθησαν οὐ μετρίως. | ||
| 13 | We went ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we were to take Paul aboard. He had made this arrangement, as he was going to travel by road. | The Voyage from Troas to Miletus Ac.20.13-16 | Ἡμεῖς δὲ προελθόντες ἐπὶ τὸ πλοῖον ἀνήχθημεν ἐπὶ τὴν Ἆσσον, ἐκεῖθεν μέλλοντες ἀναλαμβάνειν τὸν Παῦλον, οὑτως γὰρ διατεταγμένος ἦν μέλλων αὐτὸς πεζεύειν. | |
| 14 | When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene. | ὡς δὲ συνέβαλλεν ἡμῖν εἰς τὴν Ἆσσον, ἀναλαβόντες αὐτὸν ἠλθομεν εἰς Μιτυλήνην, | ||
| 15 | Next day we sailed from there and arrived opposite Chios, and on the second day we made Samos. On the following day we reached Miletus. | κἀκεῖθεν ἀποπλεύσαντες τῇ ἐπιούσῃ κατηντήσαμεν ἀντικρυς Χίου, τῇ δὲ ἑτέρᾳ παρεβάλομεν εἰς Σάμον, τῇ δὲ ἐχομένῃ ἠλθομεν εἰς Μίλητον· | ||
| 16 | For Paul had decided to pass by Ephesus and so avoid having to spend time in the province of Asia; he was eager to be in Jerusalem, if he possibly could, on the day of Pentecost. | κεκρίκει γὰρ ὁ Παῦλος παραπλεῦσαι τὴν Ἔφεσον, ὁπως μὴ γένηται αὐτῷ χρονοτριβῆσαι ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ, ἐσπευδεν γὰρ εἰ δυνατὸν εἰη αὐτῷ τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς πεντηκοστῆς γενέσθαι εἰ ς Ἱεροσόλυμα. | ||
| 17 | He did, however, send from Miletus to Ephesus and summon the elders of the congregation; | Paul Speaks to the Ephesian Elders Ac.20.17-38 | Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς Μιλήτου πέμψας εἰς Ἔφεσον μετεκαλέσατο τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς ἐκκλησίας. | |
| 18 | and when they joined him, he spoke as follows: 'You know how, from the day that I first set foot in the province of Asia, for the whole time that I was with you, | ὡς δὲ παρεγένοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε ἀπὸ πρώτης ἡμέρας ἀφ' ἧς ἐπέβην εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν πῶς μεθ' ὑμῶν τὸν πάντα χρόνον ἐγενόμην, | ||
| 19 | I served the Lord in all humility amid the sorrows and trials that came upon me through the machinations of the Jews. | δουλεύων τῷ κυρίῳ μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ δακρύων καὶ πειρασμῶν τῶν συμβάντων μοι ἐν ταῖς ἐπιβουλαῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων· | ||
| 20 | You know that I kept back nothing that was for your good: I delivered the message to you; I taught you, in public and in your homes; | ὡς οὐδὲν ὑπεστειλάμην τῶν συμφερόντων τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι ὑμῖν καὶ διδάξαι ὑμᾶς δημοσίᾳ καὶ κατ' οἰκους, | ||
| 21 | with Jews and Gentiles alike I insisted on repentance before God and trust in our Lord Jesus. | διαμαρτυρόμενος Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἑλλησιν τὴν εἰς θεὸν μετάνοιαν καὶ πίστιν εἰς τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν. | ||
| 22 | And now, as you see, I am on my way to Jerusalem, under the constraint of the Spirit. Of what will befall me there I know nothing, | καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ δεδεμένος ἐγὼ τῷ πνεύματι πορεύομαι εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ συναντήσοντά μοι μὴ εἰδώς, | ||
| 23 | except that in city after city the Holy Spirit assures me that imprisonment and hardships await me. | πλὴν ὅτι τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἀγιον κατὰ πόλιν διαμαρΤύρεταί μοι λέγον ὅτι δεσμὰ καὶ θλίψεις με μένουσιν. | ||
| 24 | For myself, I set no store by life; I only want to finish the race, and complete the task which the Lord Jesus assigned to me, of bearing my testimony to the gospel of God's grace. | ἀλλ' οὐδενὸς λόγου ποιοῦμαι τὴν ψυχὴν τιμίαν ἐμαυτῷ ὡς τελειῶσαι τὸν δρόμον μου καὶ τὴν διακονίαν ἣν ἐλαβον παρὰ τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, διαμαρΤύρασθαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς χάριτο ς τοῦ θεοῦ. | ||
| 25 | 'One word more: I have gone about among you proclaiming the Kingdom, but now I know that none of you will see my face again. | Καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ οἶδα ὅτι οὐκέτι ὀψεσθε τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ὑμεῖς πάντες ἐν οἷς διῆλθον κηρύσσων τὴν βασιλείαν· | ||
| 26 | That being so, I here and now declare that no man's fate can be laid at my door; for I have kept back nothing; | διότι μαρΤύρομαι ὑμῖν ἐν τῇ σήμερον ἡμέρᾳ ὅτι καθαρός εἰμι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἱματος πάντων, | ||
| 27 | I have disclosed to you the whole purpose of God. | οὐ γὰρ ὑπεστειλάμην τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι πᾶσαν τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῖν. | ||
| 28 | Keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has given you charge, as shepherds of the church of the Lord, which he won for himself by his own blood. | προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς καὶ παντὶ τῷ ποιμνίῳ, ἐν ᾧ ὑμᾶς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἀγιον ἐθετο ἐπισκόπους, ποιμαίνειν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ θεοῦ, ἣν περιεποιήσατο διὰ τοῦ αἱματος τοῦ ἰδίου. | ||
| 29 | I know that when I am gone, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. | ἐγὼ οἶδα ὅτι εἰσελεύσονται μετὰ τὴν ἀφιξίν μου λύκοι βαρεῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς μὴ φειδόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου, | ||
| 30 | Even from your own body there will be men coming forward who will distort the truth to induce the disciples to break away and follow them. | καὶ ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν ἀναστήσονται ἀνδρες λαλοῦντες διεστραμμένα τοῦ ἀποσπᾶν τοὺς μαθητὰς ὀπίσω αὐτῶν. | ||
| 31 | So be on the alert; remember how for three years, night and day, I never ceased to counsel each of you, and how I wept over you. | διὸ γρηγορεῖτε, μνημονεύοντες ὅτι τριετίαν νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν οὐκ ἐπαυσάμην μετὰ δακρύων νουθετῶν ἑνα ἑκαστον. | ||
| 32 | 'And now I commend you to God and to his gracious word, which has power to build you up and give you your heritage among all who are dedicated to him. | καὶ τὰ νῦν παρατίθεμαι ὑμᾶς τῷ θεῷ καὶ τῷ λόγῳ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ τῷ δυναμένῳ οἰκοδομῆσαι καὶ δοῦναι τὴν κληρονομίαν ἐν τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις πᾶσιν. | ||
| 33 | I have not wanted anyone's money or clothes for myself; | ἀργυρίου ἢ χρυσίου ἢ ἱματισμοῦ οὐδενὸς ἐπεθύμησα· | ||
| 34 | you all know that these hands of mine earned enough for the needs of me and my companions. | αὐτοὶ γινώσκετε ὅτι ταῖς χρείαις μου καὶ τοῖς οὖσιν μετ' ἐμοῦ ὑπηρέτησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὗται. | ||
| 35 | I showed you that it is our duty to help the weak in this way, by hard work, and that we should keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, who himself said, "Happiness lies more in giving than in receiving."' | πάντα ὑπέδειξα ὑμῖν ὅτι οὑτως κοπιῶντας δεῖ ἀντιλαμβάνεσθαι τῶν ἀσθενούντων, μνημονεύειν τε τῶν λόγων τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπεν, Μακάριόν ἐστιν μᾶλλον διδόναι ἢ λαμβάνειν. | ||
| 36 | As he finished speaking, he knelt down with them all and prayed. | Καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν θεὶς τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ σὺν πᾶσιν αὐτοῖς προσηύξατο. | ||
| 37 | Then there were loud cries of sorrow from them all, as they folded Paul in their arms and kissed him. | ἱκανὸς δὲ κλαυθμὸς ἐγένετο πάντων, καὶ ἐπιπεσόντες ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ Παύλου κατεφίλουν αὐτόν, | ||
| 38 | What distressed them most was his saying that they would never see his face again. So they escorted him to his ship. | ὀδυνώμενοι μάλιστα ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ ᾧ εἰρήκει ὅτι οὐκέτι μέλλουσιν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ θεωρεῖν. προέπεμπον δὲ αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον. | ||
