| 17 | And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church. | 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 came to him, he said to them: "You yourselves know how I lived among you all the time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, | 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 | serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which befell me through the plots of the Jews; | δουλεύων τῷ κυρίῳ μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ δακρύων καὶ πειρασμῶν τῶν συμβάντων μοι ἐν ταῖς ἐπιβουλαῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων· | |
| 20 | how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, | ὡς οὐδὲν ὑπεστειλάμην τῶν συμφερόντων τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι ὑμῖν καὶ διδάξαι ὑμᾶς δημοσίᾳ καὶ κατ' οἰκους, | |
| 21 | testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance to God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. | διαμαρτυρόμενος Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἑλλησιν τὴν εἰς θεὸν μετάνοιαν καὶ πίστιν εἰς τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν. | |
| 22 | And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, bound in the Spirit, not knowing what shall befall me there; | καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ δεδεμένος ἐγὼ τῷ πνεύματι πορεύομαι εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ συναντήσοντά μοι μὴ εἰδώς, | |
| 23 | except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me. | πλὴν ὅτι τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἀγιον κατὰ πόλιν διαμαρΤύρεταί μοι λέγον ὅτι δεσμὰ καὶ θλίψεις με μένουσιν. | |
| 24 | But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. | 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 | And now, behold, I know that all you among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom will see my face no more. | Καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ οἶδα ὅτι οὐκέτι ὀψεσθε τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ὑμεῖς πάντες ἐν οἷς διῆλθον κηρύσσων τὴν βασιλείαν· | |
| 26 | Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all of you, | διότι μαρΤύρομαι ὑμῖν ἐν τῇ σήμερον ἡμέρᾳ ὅτι καθαρός εἰμι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἱματος πάντων, | |
| 27 | for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. | οὐ γὰρ ὑπεστειλάμην τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι πᾶσαν τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῖν. | |
| 28 | Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God which he obtained with the blood of his own Son. | 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 after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; | ἐγὼ οἶδα ὅτι εἰσελεύσονται μετὰ τὴν ἀφιξίν μου λύκοι βαρεῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς μὴ φειδόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου, | |
| 30 | and from among your own selves will arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. | καὶ ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν ἀναστήσονται ἀνδρες λαλοῦντες διεστραμμένα τοῦ ἀποσπᾶν τοὺς μαθητὰς ὀπίσω αὐτῶν. | |
| 31 | Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish everyone with tears. | 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 the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. | 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 coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel. | ἀργυρίου ἢ χρυσίου ἢ ἱματισμοῦ οὐδενὸς ἐπεθύμησα· | |
| 34 | You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those who were with me. | αὐτοὶ γινώσκετε ὅτι ταῖς χρείαις μου καὶ τοῖς οὖσιν μετ' ἐμοῦ ὑπηρέτησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὗται. | |
| 35 | In all things I have shown you that by so toiling one must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' " | 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 | And when he had spoken thus, he knelt down and prayed with them all. | Καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν θεὶς τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ σὺν πᾶσιν αὐτοῖς προσηύξατο. | |
| 37 | And they all wept and embraced Paul and kissed him, | ἱκανὸς δὲ κλαυθμὸς ἐγένετο πάντων, καὶ ἐπιπεσόντες ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ Παύλου κατεφίλουν αὐτόν, | |
| 38 | sorrowing most of all because of the word he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him to the ship. | ὀδυνώμενοι μάλιστα ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ ᾧ εἰρήκει ὅτι οὐκέτι μέλλουσιν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ θεωρεῖν. προέπεμπον δὲ αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον. | |
