KJV ¹ Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.

TR1550 ¹ ἄνδρες ἀδελφοὶ καὶ πατέρες ἀκούσατέ μου τῆς πρὸς ὑμᾶς νῦν ἀπολογίας

KJV ² (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

TR1550 ² ἀκούσαντες δὲ ὅτι τῇ ἑβραΐδι διαλέκτῳ προσεφώνει αὐτοῖς μᾶλλον παρέσχον ἡσυχίαν καὶ φησίν

KJV ³ I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

TR1550 ³ ἐγώ μὲν εἰμι ἀνὴρ ἰουδαῖος γεγεννημένος ἐν ταρσῷ τῆς κιλικίας ἀνατεθραμμένος δὲ ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ παρὰ τοὺς πόδας γαμαλιὴλ πεπαιδευμένος κατὰ ἀκρίβειαν τοῦ πατρῴου νόμου ζηλωτὴς ὑπάρχων τοῦ θεοῦ καθὼς πάντες ὑμεῖς ἐστε σήμερον

KJV ⁴ And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.

TR1550 ⁴ ὃς ταύτην τὴν ὁδὸν ἐδίωξα ἄχρι θανάτου δεσμεύων καὶ παραδιδοὺς εἰς φυλακὰς ἄνδρας τε καὶ γυναῖκας

KJV ⁵ As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.

TR1550 ⁵ ὡς καὶ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς μαρτυρεῖ μοι καὶ πᾶν τὸ πρεσβυτέριον παρ᾽ ὧν καὶ ἐπιστολὰς δεξάμενος πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς εἰς δαμασκὸν ἐπορευόμην ἄξων καὶ τοὺς ἐκεῖσε ὄντας δεδεμένους εἰς ἰερουσαλὴμ ἵνα τιμωρηθῶσιν

KJV ⁶ And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.

TR1550 ⁶ ἐγένετο δέ μοι πορευομένῳ καὶ ἐγγίζοντι τῇ δαμασκῷ περὶ μεσημβρίαν ἐξαίφνης ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ περιαστράψαι φῶς ἱκανὸν περὶ ἐμέ

KJV ⁷ And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

TR1550 ⁷ ἔπεσον τε εἰς τὸ ἔδαφος καὶ ἤκουσα φωνῆς λεγούσης μοι σαοὺλ σαούλ τί με διώκεις

KJV ⁸ And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

TR1550 ⁸ ἐγὼ δὲ ἀπεκρίθην τίς εἶ κύριε εἶπέν τε πρός με ἐγώ εἰμι ἰησοῦς ὁ ναζωραῖος ὃν σὺ διώκεις

KJV ⁹ And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

TR1550 ⁹ οἱ δὲ σὺν ἐμοὶ ὄντες τὸ μὲν φῶς ἐθεάσαντο καὶ ἔμφοβοι ἐγένοντο τὴν δὲ φωνὴν οὐκ ἤκουσαν τοῦ λαλοῦντός μοι

KJV ¹⁰ And I said, What shall I do, LORD? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.

TR1550 ¹⁰ εἶπον δέ τί ποιήσω κύριε ὁ δὲ κύριος εἶπεν πρός με ἀναστὰς πορεύου εἰς δαμασκόν κἀκεῖ σοι λαληθήσεται περὶ πάντων ὧν τέτακταί σοι ποιῆσαι

KJV ¹¹ And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.

TR1550 ¹¹ ὡς δὲ οὐκ ἐνέβλεπον ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης τοῦ φωτὸς ἐκείνου χειραγωγούμενος ὑπὸ τῶν συνόντων μοι ἦλθον εἰς δαμασκόν

KJV ¹² And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,

TR1550 ¹² ἀνανίας δέ τις ἀνὴρ εὐσεβὴς κατὰ τὸν νόμον μαρτυρούμενος ὑπὸ πάντων τῶν κατοικούντων ἰουδαίων

KJV ¹³ Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.

TR1550 ¹³ ἐλθὼν πρός με καὶ ἐπιστὰς εἶπέν μοι σαοὺλ ἀδελφέ ἀνάβλεψον κἀγὼ αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἀνέβλεψα εἰς αὐτόν

KJV ¹⁴ And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.

TR1550 ¹⁴ ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν προεχειρίσατό σε γνῶναι τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἰδεῖν τὸν δίκαιον καὶ ἀκοῦσαι φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ

KJV ¹⁵ For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.

TR1550 ¹⁵ ὅτι ἔσῃ μάρτυς αὐτῷ πρὸς πάντας ἀνθρώπους ὧν ἑώρακας καὶ ἤκουσας

KJV ¹⁶ And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

TR1550 ¹⁶ καὶ νῦν τί μέλλεις ἀναστὰς βάπτισαι καὶ ἀπόλουσαι τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου ἐπικαλεσάμενος τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ κυρίου

KJV ¹⁷ And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;

TR1550 ¹⁷ ἐγένετο δέ μοι ὑποστρέψαντι εἰς ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ προσευχομένου μου ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ γενέσθαι με ἐν ἐκστάσει

KJV ¹⁸ And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.

TR1550 ¹⁸ καὶ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν λέγοντά μοι σπεῦσον καὶ ἔξελθε ἐν τάχει ἐξ ἰερουσαλήμ διότι οὐ παραδέξονταί σου τὴν μαρτυρίαν περὶ ἐμοῦ

KJV ¹⁹ And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:

TR1550 ¹⁹ κἀγὼ εἶπον κύριε αὐτοὶ ἐπίστανται ὅτι ἐγὼ ἤμην φυλακίζων καὶ δέρων κατὰ τὰς συναγωγὰς τοὺς πιστεύοντας ἐπὶ σέ

KJV ²⁰ And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.

TR1550 ²⁰ καὶ ὅτε ἐξεχεῖτο τὸ αἷμα στεφάνου τοῦ μάρτυρός σου καὶ αὐτὸς ἤμην ἐφεστὼς καὶ συνευδοκῶν τῇ ἀναιρέσει αὐτοῦ, καὶ φυλάσσων τὰ ἱμάτια τῶν ἀναιρούντων αὐτόν

KJV ²¹ And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

TR1550 ²¹ καὶ εἶπεν πρός με πορεύου ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰς ἔθνη μακρὰν ἐξαποστελῶ σε

KJV ²² And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

TR1550 ²² ἤκουον δὲ αὐτοῦ ἄχρι τούτου τοῦ λόγου καὶ ἐπῆραν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν λέγοντες αἶρε ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς τὸν τοιοῦτον οὐ γὰρ καθῆκον αὐτὸν ζῆν

KJV ²³ And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,

TR1550 ²³ κραυγαζόντων δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ ῥιπτούντων τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ κονιορτὸν βαλλόντων εἰς τὸν ἀέρα

KJV ²⁴ The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.

TR1550 ²⁴ ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ὁ χιλίαρχος ἄγεσθαι εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν εἰπὼν μάστιξιν ἀνετάζεσθαι αὐτὸν ἵνα ἐπιγνῷ δι᾽ ἣν αἰτίαν οὕτως ἐπεφώνουν αὐτῷ

KJV ²⁵ And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

TR1550 ²⁵ ὡς δὲ προέτεινεν αὐτὸν τοῖς ἱμᾶσιν εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν ἑστῶτα ἑκατόνταρχον ὁ παῦλος εἰ ἄνθρωπον ῥωμαῖον καὶ ἀκατάκριτον ἔξεστιν ὑμῖν μαστίζειν

KJV ²⁶ When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.

TR1550 ²⁶ ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ ἑκατόνταρχος προσελθὼν ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ χιλιάρχῳ λέγων, ὅρα τί μέλλεις ποιεῖν ὁ γὰρ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος ῥωμαῖός ἐστιν

KJV ²⁷ Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.

TR1550 ²⁷ προσελθὼν δὲ ὁ χιλίαρχος εἶπεν αὐτῷ λέγε μοι εἶ σὺ ῥωμαῖος εἰ ὁ δὲ ἔφη ναί

KJV ²⁸ And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.

TR1550 ²⁸ ἀπεκρίθη τε ὁ χιλίαρχος ἐγὼ πολλοῦ κεφαλαίου τὴν πολιτείαν ταύτην ἐκτησάμην ὁ δὲ παῦλος ἔφη ἐγὼ δὲ καὶ γεγέννημαι

KJV ²⁹ Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

TR1550 ²⁹ εὐθέως οὖν ἀπέστησαν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ οἱ μέλλοντες αὐτὸν ἀνετάζειν καὶ ὁ χιλίαρχος δὲ ἐφοβήθη ἐπιγνοὺς ὅτι ῥωμαῖός ἐστιν καὶ ὅτι ἦν αὐτὸν δεδεκώς

KJV ³⁰ On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.

TR1550 ³⁰ τῇ δὲ ἐπαύριον βουλόμενος γνῶναι τὸ ἀσφαλὲς τὸ τί κατηγορεῖται παρὰ τῶν ἰουδαίων ἔλυσεν αὐτόν ἀπὸ τῶν δεσμῶν, καὶ ἐκέλευσεν ἐλθεῖν τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ ὅλον τὸ συνέδριον αὐτῶν, καὶ καταγαγὼν τὸν παῦλον ἔστησεν εἰς αὐτούς

KJV ¹ And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.

TR1550 ¹ ἀτενίσας δὲ ὁ παῦλος τῷ συνεδρίῳ εἶπεν ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ἐγὼ πάσῃ συνειδήσει ἀγαθῇ πεπολίτευμαι τῷ θεῷ ἄχρι ταύτης τῆς ἡμέρας

KJV ² And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.

TR1550 ² ὁ δὲ ἀρχιερεὺς ἁνανίας ἐπέταξεν τοῖς παρεστῶσιν αὐτῷ τύπτειν αὐτοῦ τὸ στόμα

KJV ³ Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

TR1550 ³ τότε ὁ παῦλος πρὸς αὐτὸν εἶπεν τύπτειν σε μέλλει ὁ θεός τοῖχε κεκονιαμένε καὶ σὺ κάθῃ κρίνων με κατὰ τὸν νόμον καὶ παρανομῶν κελεύεις με τύπτεσθαι

KJV ⁴ And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?

TR1550 ⁴ οἱ δὲ παρεστῶτες εἶπον, τὸν ἀρχιερέα τοῦ θεοῦ λοιδορεῖς

KJV ⁵ Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

TR1550 ⁵ ἔφη τε ὁ παῦλος οὐκ ᾔδειν ἀδελφοί ὅτι ἐστὶν ἀρχιερεύς γέγραπται γὰρ ἄρχοντα τοῦ λαοῦ σου οὐκ ἐρεῖς κακῶς

KJV ⁶ But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

TR1550 ⁶ γνοὺς δὲ ὁ παῦλος ὅτι τὸ ἓν μέρος ἐστὶν σαδδουκαίων τὸ δὲ ἕτερον φαρισαίων ἔκραξεν ἐν τῷ συνεδρίῳ ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ἐγὼ φαρισαῖός εἰμι υἱὸς φαρισαίου περὶ ἐλπίδος καὶ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν ἐγὼ κρίνομαι

KJV ⁷ And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.

TR1550 ⁷ τοῦτο δὲ αὐτοῦ λαλήσαντος, ἐγένετο στάσις τῶν φαρισαίων καὶ τῶν σαδδουκαίων καὶ ἐσχίσθη τὸ πλῆθος

KJV ⁸ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.

TR1550 ⁸ σαδδουκαῖοι μὲν γὰρ λέγουσιν μὴ εἶναι ἀνάστασιν μηδὲ ἄγγελον μήτε πνεῦμα φαρισαῖοι δὲ ὁμολογοῦσιν τὰ ἀμφότερα

KJV ⁹ And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

TR1550 ⁹ ἐγένετο δὲ κραυγὴ μεγάλη καὶ ἀναστάντες οἱ γραμματεῖς τοῦ μέρους τῶν φαρισαίων διεμάχοντο λέγοντες οὐδὲν κακὸν εὑρίσκομεν ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ εἰ δὲ πνεῦμα ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ ἢ ἄγγελος μὴ θεομαχωμεν

KJV ¹⁰ And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.

TR1550 ¹⁰ πολλῆς δὲ γενομένης στάσεως εὐλαβηθεὶς ὁ χιλίαρχος μὴ διασπασθῇ ὁ παῦλος ὑπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐκέλευσεν τὸ στράτευμα καταβὰν ἁρπάσαι αὐτὸν ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν ἄγειν τε εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν

KJV ¹¹ And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

TR1550 ¹¹ τῇ δὲ ἐπιούσῃ νυκτὶ ἐπιστὰς αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος εἶπεν θάρσει παῦλε ὡς γὰρ διεμαρτύρω τὰ περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς ἰερουσαλὴμ οὕτως σε δεῖ καὶ εἰς ῥώμην μαρτυρῆσαι

KJV ¹² And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

TR1550 ¹² γενομένης δὲ ἡμέρας ποιήσαντες τινες τῶν ἰουδαίων συστροφὴν ἀνεθεμάτισαν ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες μήτε φαγεῖν μήτε πίειν ἕως οὗ ἀποκτείνωσιν τὸν παῦλον

KJV ¹³ And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.

TR1550 ¹³ ἦσαν δὲ πλείους τεσσαράκοντα οἱ ταύτην τὴν συνωμοσίαν πεποιηκότες,

KJV ¹⁴ And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.

TR1550 ¹⁴ οἵτινες προσελθόντες τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις εἶπον, ἀναθέματι ἀνεθεματίσαμεν ἑαυτοὺς μηδενὸς γεύσασθαι ἕως οὗ ἀποκτείνωμεν τὸν παῦλον

KJV ¹⁵ Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.

TR1550 ¹⁵ νῦν οὖν ὑμεῖς ἐμφανίσατε τῷ χιλιάρχῳ σὺν τῷ συνεδρίῳ ὅπως αὔριον αὐτὸν καταγάγῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὡς μέλλοντας διαγινώσκειν ἀκριβέστερον τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ ἡμεῖς δὲ πρὸ τοῦ ἐγγίσαι αὐτὸν ἕτοιμοί ἐσμεν τοῦ ἀνελεῖν αὐτόν

KJV ¹⁶ And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.

TR1550 ¹⁶ ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀδελφῆς παύλου τό ἔνεδρον παραγενόμενος καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ παύλῳ

KJV ¹⁷ Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.

TR1550 ¹⁷ προσκαλεσάμενος δὲ ὁ παῦλος ἕνα τῶν ἑκατονταρχῶν ἔφη τὸν νεανίαν τοῦτον ἀπάγαγε πρὸς τὸν χιλίαρχον ἔχει γὰρ τι ἀπαγγεῖλαί αὐτῷ

KJV ¹⁸ So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.

TR1550 ¹⁸ ὁ μὲν οὖν παραλαβὼν αὐτὸν ἤγαγεν πρὸς τὸν χιλίαρχον καὶ φησίν ὁ δέσμιος παῦλος προσκαλεσάμενός με ἠρώτησεν τοῦτον τὸν νεανίαν ἀγαγεῖν πρὸς σέ ἔχοντά τι λαλῆσαί σοι

KJV ¹⁹ Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?

TR1550 ¹⁹ ἐπιλαβόμενος δὲ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ χιλίαρχος καὶ ἀναχωρήσας κατ᾽ ἰδίαν ἐπυνθάνετο τί ἐστιν ὃ ἔχεις ἀπαγγεῖλαί μοι

KJV ²⁰ And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.

TR1550 ²⁰ εἶπεν δὲ ὅτι οἱ ἰουδαῖοι συνέθεντο τοῦ ἐρωτῆσαί σε ὅπως αὔριον εἰς τὸ συνέδριον καταγάγῃς τὸν παῦλον ὡς μέλλοντές τι ἀκριβέστερον πυνθάνεσθαι περὶ αὐτοῦ

KJV ²¹ But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.

TR1550 ²¹ σὺ οὖν μὴ πεισθῇς αὐτοῖς ἐνεδρεύουσιν γὰρ αὐτὸν ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες πλείους τεσσαράκοντα οἵτινες ἀνεθεμάτισαν ἑαυτοὺς μήτε φαγεῖν μήτε πιεῖν ἕως οὗ ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν καὶ νῦν ἕτοιμοι εἰσιν προσδεχόμενοι τὴν ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐπαγγελίαν

KJV ²² So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.

TR1550 ²² ὁ μὲν οὖν χιλίαρχος ἀπέλυσεν τὸν νεανίαν, παραγγείλας μηδενὶ ἐκλαλῆσαι ὅτι ταῦτα ἐνεφάνισας πρός με

KJV ²³ And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;

TR1550 ²³ καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος δύο τινὰς τῶν ἑκατονταρχῶν εἶπεν ἑτοιμάσατε στρατιώτας διακοσίους ὅπως πορευθῶσιν ἕως καισαρείας καὶ ἱππεῖς ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ δεξιολάβους διακοσίους ἀπὸ τρίτης ὥρας τῆς νυκτός

KJV ²⁴ And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.

TR1550 ²⁴ κτήνη τε παραστῆσαι ἵνα ἐπιβιβάσαντες τὸν παῦλον διασώσωσιν πρὸς φήλικα τὸν ἡγεμόνα

KJV ²⁵ And he wrote a letter after this manner:

TR1550 ²⁵ γράψας ἐπιστολὴν περιέχουσαν τὸν τύπον τοῦτον

KJV ²⁶ Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.

TR1550 ²⁶ κλαύδιος λυσίας τῷ κρατίστῳ ἡγεμόνι φήλικι χαίρειν

KJV ²⁷ This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.

TR1550 ²⁷ τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον συλληφθέντα ὑπὸ τῶν ἰουδαίων καὶ μέλλοντα ἀναιρεῖσθαι ὑπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐπιστὰς σὺν τῷ στρατεύματι ἐξειλόμην αὐτὸν, μαθὼν ὅτι ῥωμαῖός ἐστιν

KJV ²⁸ And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:

TR1550 ²⁸ βουλόμενός δὲ γνῶναι τὴν αἰτίαν δι᾽ ἣν ἐνεκάλουν αὐτῷ κατήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ συνέδριον αὐτῶν

KJV ²⁹ Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

TR1550 ²⁹ ὃν εὗρον ἐγκαλούμενον περὶ ζητημάτων τοῦ νόμου αὐτῶν μηδὲν δὲ ἄξιον θανάτου ἢ δεσμῶν ἔγκλημα ἔχοντα

KJV ³⁰ And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.

TR1550 ³⁰ μηνυθείσης δέ μοι ἐπιβουλῆς εἰς τὸν ἄνδρα μελλείν ἔσεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἰουδαίων, ἐξαυτῆς ἔπεμψα πρὸς σέ παραγγείλας καὶ τοῖς κατηγόροις λέγειν τὰ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σοῦ ἔῤῥωσο

KJV ³¹ Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.

TR1550 ³¹ οἱ μὲν οὖν στρατιῶται κατὰ τὸ διατεταγμένον αὐτοῖς ἀναλαβόντες τὸν παῦλον ἤγαγον διὰ τὴς νυκτὸς εἰς τὴν ἀντιπατρίδα

KJV ³² On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:

TR1550 ³² τῇ δὲ ἐπαύριον ἐάσαντες τοὺς ἱππεῖς πορεύεσθαι σὺν αὐτῷ ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν

KJV ³³ Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.

TR1550 ³³ οἵτινες εἰσελθόντες εἰς τὴν καισάρειαν καὶ ἀναδόντες τὴν ἐπιστολὴν τῷ ἡγεμόνι παρέστησαν καὶ τὸν παῦλον αὐτῷ

KJV ³⁴ And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;

TR1550 ³⁴ ἀναγνοὺς δὲ ὁ ἡγεμὼν, καὶ ἐπερωτήσας ἐκ ποίας ἐπαρχίας ἐστὶν καὶ πυθόμενος ὅτι ἀπὸ κιλικίας

KJV ³⁵ I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.

TR1550 ³⁵ διακούσομαί σου ἔφη ὅταν καὶ οἱ κατήγοροί σου παραγένωνται ἐκέλευσεν τε αὐτόν ἐν τῷ πραιτωρίῳ τοῦ ἡρῴδου φυλάσσεσθαι

KJV ¹ And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.

TR1550 ¹ μετὰ δὲ πέντε ἡμέρας κατέβη ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς ἁνανίας μετὰ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ ῥήτορος τερτύλλου τινός οἵτινες ἐνεφάνισαν τῷ ἡγεμόνι κατὰ τοῦ παύλου

KJV ² And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,

TR1550 ² κληθέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἤρξατο κατηγορεῖν ὁ τέρτυλλος λέγων, πολλῆς εἰρήνης τυγχάνοντες διὰ σοῦ καὶ κατορθωμάτων γινομένων τῷ ἔθνει τούτῳ διὰ τῆς σῆς προνοίας

KJV ³ We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.

TR1550 ³ πάντῃ τε καὶ πανταχοῦ ἀποδεχόμεθα κράτιστε φῆλιξ μετὰ πάσης εὐχαριστίας

KJV ⁴ Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.

TR1550 ⁴ ἵνα δὲ μὴ ἐπὶ πλεῖόν σε ἐγκόπτω παρακαλῶ ἀκοῦσαί σε ἡμῶν συντόμως τῇ σῇ ἐπιεικείᾳ

KJV ⁵ For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:

TR1550 ⁵ εὑρόντες γὰρ τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον λοιμὸν καὶ κινοῦντα στάσιν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἰουδαίοις τοῖς κατὰ τὴν οἰκουμένην πρωτοστάτην τε τῆς τῶν ναζωραίων αἱρέσεως

KJV ⁶ Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.

TR1550 ⁶ ὃς καὶ τὸ ἱερὸν ἐπείρασεν βεβηλῶσαι ὃν καὶ ἐκρατήσαμεν καὶ κατά τόν ἡμέτερον νόμον ἠθελήσαμεν κρίνειν

KJV ⁷ But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,

TR1550 ⁷ παρελθὼν δὲ λυσίας ὁ χιλιαρχος μετὰ πολλῆς βίας ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν ἡμῶν ἀπήγαγεν

KJV ⁸ Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.

TR1550 ⁸ κελεύσας τούς κατηγόρους αὐτοῦ ἔρχεσθαι ἐπί σέ παρ᾽ οὗ δυνήσῃ αὐτὸς ἀνακρίνας περὶ πάντων τούτων ἐπιγνῶναι ὧν ἡμεῖς κατηγοροῦμεν αὐτοῦ

KJV ⁹ And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.

TR1550 ⁹ συνέθεντο δὲ καὶ οἱ ἰουδαῖοι φάσκοντες ταῦτα οὕτως ἔχειν

KJV ¹⁰ Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:

TR1550 ¹⁰ ἀπεκρίθη δέ ὁ παῦλος νεύσαντος αὐτῷ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος λέγειν ἐκ πολλῶν ἐτῶν ὄντα σε κριτὴν τῷ ἔθνει τούτῳ ἐπιστάμενος εὐθύμοτερον τὰ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ ἀπολογοῦμαι

KJV ¹¹ Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.

TR1550 ¹¹ δυναμένου σου γνῶναι ὅτι οὐ πλείους εἰσίν μοι ἡμέραι ἤ δεκαδύο, ἀφ᾽ ἡς ἀνέβην προσκυνήσων ἐν ἰερουσαλήμ

KJV ¹² And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:

TR1550 ¹² καὶ οὔτε ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ εὗρόν με πρός τινα διαλεγόμενον ἢ ἐπισύστασιν ποιοῦντα ὄχλου οὔτε ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς οὔτε κατὰ τὴν πόλιν

KJV ¹³ Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.

TR1550 ¹³ οὔτε παραστῆσαι με δύνανταί περὶ ὧν νῦν κατηγοροῦσίν μου

KJV ¹⁴ But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

TR1550 ¹⁴ ὁμολογῶ δὲ τοῦτό σοι ὅτι κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἣν λέγουσιν αἵρεσιν οὕτως λατρεύω τῷ πατρῴῳ θεῷ πιστεύων πάσιν τοῖς κατὰ τὸν νόμον καὶ τοῖς προφήταις γεγραμμένοις

KJV ¹⁵ And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

TR1550 ¹⁵ ἐλπίδα ἔχων εἰς τὸν θεόν ἣν καὶ αὐτοὶ οὗτοι προσδέχονται ἀνάστασιν μέλλειν ἔσεσθαι νεκρῶν, δικαίων τε καὶ ἀδίκων

KJV ¹⁶ And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.

TR1550 ¹⁶ ἐν τούτῳ δὲ αὐτὸς ἀσκῶ ἀπρόσκοπον συνείδησιν ἔχειν πρὸς τὸν θεὸν καὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους διαπαντός

KJV ¹⁷ Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.

TR1550 ¹⁷ δι᾽ ἐτῶν δὲ πλειόνων παρεγενόμην ἐλεημοσύνας ποιήσων εἰς τὸ ἔθνος μου καὶ προσφοράς

KJV ¹⁸ Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.

TR1550 ¹⁸ ἐν οἷς εὗρόν με ἡγνισμένον ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ οὐ μετὰ ὄχλου οὐδὲ μετὰ θορύβου τινές δέ ἀπό τῆς ἀσίας ἰουδαῖοί

KJV ¹⁹ Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.

TR1550 ¹⁹ οὓς δεῖ ἐπὶ σοῦ παρεῖναι καὶ κατηγορεῖν εἴ τι ἔχοιεν πρὸς μέ

KJV ²⁰ Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,

TR1550 ²⁰ ἢ αὐτοὶ οὗτοι εἰπάτωσαν εἴ τί εὗρον ἐν ἐμοὶ ἀδίκημα στάντος μου ἐπὶ τοῦ συνεδρίου

KJV ²¹ Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.

TR1550 ²¹ ἢ περὶ μιᾶς ταύτης φωνῆς ἡς ἔκραξα ἑστὼς ἐν αὐτοῖς ὅτι περὶ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν ἐγὼ κρίνομαι σήμερον ὑφ᾽ ὑμῶν

KJV ²² And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.

TR1550 ²² ἀκούσας δὲ ταῦτα ὁ φῆλιξ ἀνεβάλετο αὐτοὺς ἀκριβέστερον εἰδὼς τὰ περὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ εἴπων, ὅταν λυσίας ὁ χιλίαρχος καταβῇ διαγνώσομαι τὰ καθ᾽ ὑμᾶς

KJV ²³ And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.

TR1550 ²³ διαταξάμενος τε τῷ ἑκατοντάρχῃ τηρεῖσθαι τὸν παῦλον, ἔχειν τε ἄνεσιν καὶ μηδένα κωλύειν τῶν ἰδίων αὐτοῦ ὑπηρετεῖν ἢ προσέρχεσθαι αὐτῷ

KJV ²⁴ And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

TR1550 ²⁴ μετὰ δὲ ἡμέρας τινὰς παραγενόμενος ὁ φῆλιξ σὺν δρουσίλλῃ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ οὔσῃ ἰουδαίᾳ μετεπέμψατο τὸν παῦλον καὶ ἤκουσεν αὐτοῦ περὶ τῆς εἰς χριστὸν πίστεως

KJV ²⁵ And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

TR1550 ²⁵ διαλεγομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ περὶ δικαιοσύνης καὶ ἐγκρατείας καὶ τοῦ κρίματος τοῦ μέλλοντος ἔσεσθαι, ἔμφοβος γενόμενος ὁ φῆλιξ ἀπεκρίθη τὸ νῦν ἔχον πορεύου καιρὸν δὲ μεταλαβὼν μετακαλέσομαί σε

KJV ²⁶ He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.

TR1550 ²⁶ ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἐλπίζων ὅτι χρήματα δοθήσεται αὐτῷ ὑπὸ τοῦ παύλου ὅπως λύσῃ αὐτὸν διὸ καὶ πυκνότερον αὐτὸν μεταπεμπόμενος ὡμίλει αὐτῷ

KJV ²⁷ But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

TR1550 ²⁷ διετίας δὲ πληρωθείσης ἔλαβεν διάδοχον ὁ φῆλιξ πόρκιον φῆστον θέλων τε χάριτας καταθέσθαι τοῖς ἰουδαίοις ὁ φῆλιξ κατέλιπεν τὸν παῦλον δεδεμένον

KJV ¹ Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

TR1550 ¹ φῆστος οὖν ἐπιβὰς τῇ ἐπαρχίᾳ, μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἀνέβη εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα ἀπὸ καισαρείας

KJV ² Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,

TR1550 ² ἐνεφάνισάν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἀρχιερεύς καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι τῶν ἰουδαίων κατὰ τοῦ παύλου καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν

KJV ³ And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

TR1550 ³ αἰτούμενοι χάριν κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὅπως μεταπέμψηται αὐτὸν εἰς ἰερουσαλήμ ἐνέδραν ποιοῦντες ἀνελεῖν αὐτὸν κατὰ τὴν ὁδόν

KJV ⁴ But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.

TR1550 ⁴ ὁ μὲν οὖν φῆστος ἀπεκρίθη τηρεῖσθαι τὸν παῦλον ἐν καισαρείᾳ ἑαυτὸν δὲ μέλλειν ἐν τάχει ἐκπορεύεσθαι

KJV ⁵ Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.

TR1550 ⁵ οἱ οὖν δυνατοὶ ἐν ὑμῖν φησίν συγκαταβάντες εἴ τί ἐστιν ἐν τῷ ἀνδρὶ τούτω κατηγορείτωσαν αὐτοῦ

KJV ⁶ And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.

TR1550 ⁶ διατρίψας δὲ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας πλείους ἢ δέκα καταβὰς εἰς καισάρειαν τῇ ἐπαύριον καθίσας ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος ἐκέλευσεν τὸν παῦλον ἀχθῆναι

KJV ⁷ And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.

TR1550 ⁷ παραγενομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ περιέστησαν οἱ ἀπὸ ἱεροσολύμων καταβεβηκότες ἰουδαῖοι πολλὰ καὶ βαρέα αἰτιάματα φέροντες κατὰ τοῦ παῦλου, ἃ οὐκ ἴσχυον ἀποδεῖξαι

KJV ⁸ While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.

TR1550 ⁸ ἀπολογουμένου αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οὔτε εἰς τὸν νόμον τῶν ἰουδαίων οὔτε εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν οὔτε εἰς καίσαρά τι ἥμαρτον

KJV ⁹ But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

TR1550 ⁹ ὁ φῆστος δὲ τοῖς ἰουδαίοις θέλων χάριν καταθέσθαι ἀποκριθεὶς τῷ παύλῳ εἶπεν θέλεις εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα ἀναβὰς ἐκεῖ περὶ τούτων κρίνεσθαι ἐπ᾽ ἐμοῦ

KJV ¹⁰ Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.

TR1550 ¹⁰ εἶπεν δὲ ὁ παῦλος ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος καίσαρός ἑστώς εἰμι οὗ με δεῖ κρίνεσθαι ἰουδαίους οὐδὲν ἠδίκησα ὡς καὶ σὺ κάλλιον ἐπιγινώσκεις

KJV ¹¹ For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

TR1550 ¹¹ εἰ μὲν γὰρ ἀδικῶ καὶ ἄξιον θανάτου πέπραχά τι οὐ παραιτοῦμαι τὸ ἀποθανεῖν εἰ δὲ οὐδέν ἐστιν ὧν οὗτοι κατηγοροῦσίν μου οὐδείς με δύναται αὐτοῖς χαρίσασθαι καίσαρα ἐπικαλοῦμαι

KJV ¹² Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.

TR1550 ¹² τότε ὁ φῆστος συλλαλήσας μετὰ τοῦ συμβουλίου ἀπεκρίθη καίσαρα ἐπικέκλησαι ἐπὶ καίσαρα πορεύσῃ

KJV ¹³ And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.

TR1550 ¹³ ἡμερῶν δὲ διαγενομένων τινῶν ἀγρίππας ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ βερνίκη κατήντησαν εἰς καισάρειαν ἀσπασόμενοι τὸν φῆστον

KJV ¹⁴ And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

TR1550 ¹⁴ ὡς δὲ πλείους ἡμέρας διέτριβον ἐκεῖ ὁ φῆστος τῷ βασιλεῖ ἀνέθετο τὰ κατὰ τὸν παῦλον λέγων, ἀνήρ τίς ἐστιν καταλελειμμένος ὑπὸ φήλικος δέσμιος

KJV ¹⁵ About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.

TR1550 ¹⁵ περὶ οὗ γενομένου μου εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα ἐνεφάνισαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τῶν ἰουδαίων αἰτούμενοι κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ δίκην

KJV ¹⁶ To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.

TR1550 ¹⁶ πρὸς οὓς ἀπεκρίθην ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἔθος ῥωμαίοις χαρίζεσθαί τινα ἄνθρωπον εἰς ἀπώλειαν, πρὶν ἢ ὁ κατηγορούμενος κατὰ πρόσωπον ἔχοι τοὺς κατηγόρους τόπον τε ἀπολογίας λάβοι περὶ τοῦ ἐγκλήματος

KJV ¹⁷ Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.

TR1550 ¹⁷ συνελθόντων οὖν αὐτῶν ἐνθάδε ἀναβολὴν μηδεμίαν ποιησάμενος τῇ ἑξῆς καθίσας ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος ἐκέλευσα ἀχθῆναι τὸν ἄνδρα

KJV ¹⁸ Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:

TR1550 ¹⁸ περὶ οὗ σταθέντες οἱ κατήγοροι οὐδεμίαν αἰτίαν ἐπέφερον ὧν ὑπενόουν ἐγὼ

KJV ¹⁹ But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

TR1550 ¹⁹ ζητήματα δέ τινα περὶ τῆς ἰδίας δεισιδαιμονίας εἶχον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ περί τινος ἰησοῦ τεθνηκότος ὃν ἔφασκεν ὁ παῦλος ζῆν

KJV ²⁰ And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.

TR1550 ²⁰ ἀπορούμενος δὲ ἐγὼ εἰς τὴν περὶ τούτου ζήτησιν ἔλεγον εἰ βούλοιτο πορεύεσθαι εἰς ἰερουσαλήμ κἀκεῖ κρίνεσθαι περὶ τούτων

KJV ²¹ But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

TR1550 ²¹ τοῦ δὲ παύλου ἐπικαλεσαμένου τηρηθῆναι αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν τοῦ σεβαστοῦ διάγνωσιν ἐκέλευσα τηρεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ἕως οὗ πέμψω αὐτὸν πρὸς καίσαρα

KJV ²² Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

TR1550 ²² ἀγρίππας δὲ πρὸς τὸν φῆστον ἔφη, ἐβουλόμην καὶ αὐτὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀκοῦσαι ὁ δὲ αὔριον φησίν ἀκούσῃ αὐτοῦ

KJV ²³ And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.

TR1550 ²³ τῇ οὖν ἐπαύριον ἐλθόντος τοῦ ἀγρίππα καὶ τῆς βερνίκης μετὰ πολλῆς φαντασίας καὶ εἰσελθόντων εἰς τὸ ἀκροατήριον σύν τε τοῖς χιλιάρχοις καὶ ἀνδράσιν τοῖς κατ᾽ ἐξοχὴν οὖσιν τῆς πόλεως καὶ κελεύσαντος τοῦ φήστου ἤχθη ὁ παῦλος

KJV ²⁴ And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

TR1550 ²⁴ καί φησιν ὁ φῆστος ἀγρίππα βασιλεῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ συμπαρόντες ἡμῖν ἄνδρες θεωρεῖτε τοῦτον περὶ οὗ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἰουδαίων ἐνέτυχόν μοι ἔν τε ἱεροσολύμοις καὶ ἐνθάδε ἐπιβοῶντες μὴ δεῖν ζῆν αὐτὸν μηκέτι

KJV ²⁵ But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

TR1550 ²⁵ ἐγὼ δὲ καταλαβόμενος μηδὲν ἄξιον θανάτου αὐτὸν πεπραχέναι καὶ αὐτοῦ δὲ τούτου ἐπικαλεσαμένου τὸν σεβαστὸν ἔκρινα πέμπειν αὐτὸν

KJV ²⁶ Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.

TR1550 ²⁶ περὶ οὗ ἀσφαλές τι γράψαι τῷ κυρίῳ οὐκ ἔχω διὸ προήγαγον αὐτὸν ἐφ᾽ ὑμῶν καὶ μάλιστα ἐπὶ σοῦ βασιλεῦ ἀγρίππα ὅπως τῆς ἀνακρίσεως γενομένης σχῶ τί γράψαι

KJV ²⁷ For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.

TR1550 ²⁷ ἄλογον γάρ μοι δοκεῖ πέμποντα δέσμιον μὴ καὶ τὰς κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ αἰτίας σημᾶναι

KJV ¹ Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:

TR1550 ¹ ἀγρίππας δὲ πρὸς τὸν παῦλον ἔφη ἐπιτρέπεταί σοι ὑπὲρ σεαυτοῦ λέγειν τότε ὁ παῦλος ἀπελογεῖτο ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα

KJV ² I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:

TR1550 ² περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐγκαλοῦμαι ὑπὸ ἰουδαίων βασιλεῦ ἀγρίππα ἥγημαι ἐμαυτὸν μακάριον μέλλων ἀπολογεῖσθαι ἐπὶ σοῦ σήμερον

KJV ³ Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

TR1550 ³ μάλιστα γνώστην ὄντα σε πάντων τῶν κατὰ ἰουδαίους ἐθῶν τε καὶ ζητημάτων διὸ δέομαι σου, μακροθύμως ἀκοῦσαί μου

KJV ⁴ My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

TR1550 ⁴ τὴν μὲν οὖν βίωσίν μου τὴν ἐκ νεότητος τὴν ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς γενομένην ἐν τῷ ἔθνει μου ἔν ἱεροσολύμοις ἴσασιν πάντες οἱ ἰουδαῖοι

KJV ⁵ Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

TR1550 ⁵ προγινώσκοντές με ἄνωθεν ἐὰν θέλωσιν μαρτυρεῖν ὅτι κατὰ τὴν ἀκριβεστάτην αἵρεσιν τῆς ἡμετέρας θρησκείας ἔζησα φαρισαῖος

KJV ⁶ And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:

TR1550 ⁶ καὶ νῦν ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι τῆς πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἐπαγγελίας γενομένης ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ ἕστηκα κρινόμενος

KJV ⁷ Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

TR1550 ⁷ εἰς ἣν τὸ δωδεκάφυλον ἡμῶν ἐν ἐκτενείᾳ νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν λατρεῦον ἐλπίζει καταντῆσαι περὶ ἡς ἐλπίδος ἐγκαλοῦμαι βασιλεῦ ἀγρίππα ὑπὸ τῶν ἰουδαίων

KJV ⁸ Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

TR1550 ⁸ τί ἄπιστον κρίνεται παρ᾽ ὑμῖν εἰ ὁ θεὸς νεκροὺς ἐγείρει

KJV ⁹ I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

TR1550 ⁹ ἐγὼ μὲν οὖν ἔδοξα ἐμαυτῷ πρὸς τὸ ὄνομα ἰησοῦ τοῦ ναζωραίου δεῖν πολλὰ ἐναντία πρᾶξαι

KJV ¹⁰ Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

TR1550 ¹⁰ ὃ καὶ ἐποίησα ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις καὶ πολλούς τῶν ἁγίων ἐγὼ φυλακαῖς κατέκλεισα τὴν παρὰ τῶν ἀρχιερέων ἐξουσίαν λαβών ἀναιρουμένων τε αὐτῶν κατήνεγκα ψῆφον

KJV ¹¹ And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.

TR1550 ¹¹ καὶ κατὰ πάσας τὰς συναγωγὰς πολλάκις τιμωρῶν αὐτοὺς ἠνάγκαζον βλασφημεῖν περισσῶς τε ἐμμαινόμενος αὐτοῖς ἐδίωκον ἕως καὶ εἰς τὰς ἔξω πόλεις

KJV ¹² Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

TR1550 ¹² ἐν οἷς καὶ πορευόμενος εἰς τὴν δαμασκὸν μετ᾽ ἐξουσίας καὶ ἐπιτροπῆς τῆς παρὰ τῶν ἀρχιερέων

KJV ¹³ At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.

TR1550 ¹³ ἡμέρας μέσης κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν εἶδον βασιλεῦ οὐρανόθεν ὑπὲρ τὴν λαμπρότητα τοῦ ἡλίου περιλάμψαν με φῶς καὶ τοὺς σὺν ἐμοὶ πορευομένους

KJV ¹⁴ And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

TR1550 ¹⁴ πάντων δέ καταπεσόντων ἡμῶν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἤκουσα φωνὴν λαλοῦσαν πρός με καὶ λέγουσαν τῇ ἑβραΐδι διαλέκτῳ σαοὺλ σαούλ τί με διώκεις σκληρόν σοι πρὸς κέντρα λακτίζειν

KJV ¹⁵ And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

TR1550 ¹⁵ ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπον, τίς εἶ κύριε ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ἐγώ εἰμι ἰησοῦς ὃν σὺ διώκεις

KJV ¹⁶ But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

TR1550 ¹⁶ ἀλλὰ ἀνάστηθι καὶ στῆθι ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας σου εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ὤφθην σοι προχειρίσασθαί σε ὑπηρέτην καὶ μάρτυρα ὧν τε εἶδές ὧν τε ὀφθήσομαί σοι

KJV ¹⁷ Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

TR1550 ¹⁷ ἐξαιρούμενός σε ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν εἰς οὓς νῦν σε ἀποστέλλω

KJV ¹⁸ To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

TR1550 ¹⁸ ἀνοῖξαι ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι ἀπὸ σκότους εἰς φῶς καὶ τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ σατανᾶ ἐπὶ τὸν θεόν τοῦ λαβεῖν αὐτοὺς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν καὶ κλῆρον ἐν τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις πίστει τῇ εἰς ἐμέ

KJV ¹⁹ Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

TR1550 ¹⁹ ὅθεν βασιλεῦ ἀγρίππα οὐκ ἐγενόμην ἀπειθὴς τῇ οὐρανίῳ ὀπτασίᾳ

KJV ²⁰ But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

TR1550 ²⁰ ἀλλὰ τοῖς ἐν δαμασκῷ πρῶτόν καὶ ἱεροσολύμοις εἰς πᾶσάν τε τὴν χώραν τῆς ἰουδαίας καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἀπαγγέλλων μετανοεῖν καὶ ἐπιστρέφειν ἐπὶ τὸν θεόν ἄξια τῆς μετανοίας ἔργα πράσσοντας

KJV ²¹ For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.

TR1550 ²¹ ἕνεκα τούτων με οἵ ἰουδαῖοι συλλαβόμενοι ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἐπειρῶντο διαχειρίσασθαι

KJV ²² Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

TR1550 ²² ἐπικουρίας οὖν τυχὼν τῆς παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἄχρι τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης ἕστηκα μαρτυρούμενος μικρῷ τε καὶ μεγάλῳ οὐδὲν ἐκτὸς λέγων ὧν τε οἱ προφῆται ἐλάλησαν μελλόντων γίνεσθαι καὶ μωσῆς,

KJV ²³ That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

TR1550 ²³ εἰ παθητὸς ὁ χριστός εἰ πρῶτος ἐξ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν φῶς μέλλει καταγγέλλειν τῷ λαῷ καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

KJV ²⁴ And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

TR1550 ²⁴ ταῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀπολογουμένου ὁ φῆστος μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ ἔφη μαίνῃ παῦλε τὰ πολλά σε γράμματα εἰς μανίαν περιτρέπει

KJV ²⁵ But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

TR1550 ²⁵ ὁ δὲ οὐ μαίνομαι φησίν κράτιστε φῆστε ἀλλ᾽ ἀληθείας καὶ σωφροσύνης ῥήματα ἀποφθέγγομαι

KJV ²⁶ For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

TR1550 ²⁶ ἐπίσταται γὰρ περὶ τούτων ὁ βασιλεύς πρὸς ὃν καὶ παῤῥησιαζόμενος λαλῶ λανθάνειν γὰρ αὐτὸν τι τούτων οὐ πείθομαι οὐδέν οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἐν γωνίᾳ πεπραγμένον τοῦτο

KJV ²⁷ King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

TR1550 ²⁷ πιστεύεις βασιλεῦ ἀγρίππα τοῖς προφήταις οἶδα ὅτι πιστεύεις

KJV ²⁸ Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

TR1550 ²⁸ ὁ δὲ ἀγρίππας πρὸς τὸν παῦλον ἔφη, ἐν ὀλίγῳ με πείθεις χριστιανὸν γενέσθαι

KJV ²⁹ And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

TR1550 ²⁹ ὁ δὲ παῦλος εἰπεν, εὐξαίμην ἂν τῷ θεῷ καὶ ἐν ὀλίγῳ καὶ ἐν πολλῷ οὐ μόνον σὲ ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντάς μου σήμερον γενέσθαι τοιούτους ὁποῖος κἀγώ εἰμι παρεκτὸς τῶν δεσμῶν τούτων

KJV ³⁰ And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

TR1550 ³⁰ καὶ ταῦτα εἰπόντος αὐτοῦ, ἀνέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ὁ ἡγεμὼν ἥ τε βερνίκη καὶ οἱ συγκαθήμενοι αὐτοῖς

KJV ³¹ And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

TR1550 ³¹ καὶ ἀναχωρήσαντες ἐλάλουν πρὸς ἀλλήλους λέγοντες ὅτι οὐδὲν θανάτου ἄξιον ἢ δεσμῶν πράσσει ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος

KJV ³² Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

TR1550 ³² ἀγρίππας δὲ τῷ φήστῳ ἔφη ἀπολελύσθαι ἐδύνατο ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος εἰ μὴ ἐπεκέκλητο καίσαρα

KJV ¹ And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

TR1550 ¹ ὡς δὲ ἐκρίθη τοῦ ἀποπλεῖν ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἰταλίαν παρεδίδουν τόν τε παῦλον καί τινας ἑτέρους δεσμώτας ἑκατοντάρχῃ ὀνόματι ἰουλίῳ σπείρης σεβαστῆς

KJV ² And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

TR1550 ² ἐπιβάντες δὲ πλοίῳ ἀδραμυττηνῷ μέλλοντες πλεῖν τοὺς κατὰ τὴν ἀσίαν τόπους ἀνήχθημεν ὄντος σὺν ἡμῖν ἀριστάρχου μακεδόνος θεσσαλονικέως

KJV ³ And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

TR1550 ³ τῇ τε ἑτέρᾳ κατήχθημεν εἰς σιδῶνα φιλανθρώπως τε ὁ ἰούλιος τῷ παύλῳ χρησάμενος ἐπέτρεψεν πρὸς φίλους πορευθέντα ἐπιμελείας τυχεῖν

KJV ⁴ And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

TR1550 ⁴ κἀκεῖθεν ἀναχθέντες ὑπεπλεύσαμεν τὴν κύπρον διὰ τὸ τοὺς ἀνέμους εἶναι ἐναντίους

KJV ⁵ And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

TR1550 ⁵ τό τε πέλαγος τὸ κατὰ τὴν κιλικίαν καὶ παμφυλίαν διαπλεύσαντες κατήλθομεν εἰς μύρα τῆς λυκίας

KJV ⁶ And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

TR1550 ⁶ κἀκεῖ εὑρὼν ὁ ἑκατόνταρχος πλοῖον ἀλεξανδρῖνον πλέον εἰς τὴν ἰταλίαν ἐνεβίβασεν ἡμᾶς εἰς αὐτό

KJV ⁷ And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

TR1550 ⁷ ἐν ἱκαναῖς δὲ ἡμέραις βραδυπλοοῦντες καὶ μόλις γενόμενοι κατὰ τὴν κνίδον μὴ προσεῶντος ἡμᾶς τοῦ ἀνέμου ὑπεπλεύσαμεν τὴν κρήτην κατὰ σαλμώνην

KJV ⁸ And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

TR1550 ⁸ μόλις τε παραλεγόμενοι αὐτὴν ἤλθομεν εἰς τόπον τινὰ καλούμενον καλοὺς λιμένας ᾧ ἐγγὺς ἦν πόλις λασαία

KJV ⁹ Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

TR1550 ⁹ ἱκανοῦ δὲ χρόνου διαγενομένου καὶ ὄντος ἤδη ἐπισφαλοῦς τοῦ πλοὸς διὰ τὸ καὶ τὴν νηστείαν ἤδη παρεληλυθέναι παρῄνει ὁ παῦλος

KJV ¹⁰ And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

TR1550 ¹⁰ λέγων αὐτοῖς, ἄνδρες θεωρῶ ὅτι μετὰ ὕβρεως καὶ πολλῆς ζημίας οὐ μόνον τοῦ φόρτου καὶ τοῦ πλοίου ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν μέλλειν ἔσεσθαι τὸν πλοῦν

KJV ¹¹ Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

TR1550 ¹¹ ὁ δὲ ἑκατόνταρχος τῷ κυβερνήτῃ καὶ τῷ ναυκλήρῳ ἐπείθετο μᾶλλον ἢ τοῖς ὑπὸ τοῦ παύλου λεγομένοις

KJV ¹² And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

TR1550 ¹² ἀνευθέτου δὲ τοῦ λιμένος ὑπάρχοντος πρὸς παραχειμασίαν οἱ πλείους ἔθεντο βουλὴν ἀναχθῆναι κἀκεῖθεν εἴπως δύναιντο καταντήσαντες εἰς φοίνικα παραχειμάσαι λιμένα τῆς κρήτης βλέποντα κατὰ λίβα καὶ κατὰ χῶρον

KJV ¹³ And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

TR1550 ¹³ ὑποπνεύσαντος δὲ νότου δόξαντες τῆς προθέσεως κεκρατηκέναι ἄραντες ἆσσον παρελέγοντο τὴν κρήτην

KJV ¹⁴ But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

TR1550 ¹⁴ μετ᾽ οὐ πολὺ δὲ ἔβαλεν κατ᾽ αὐτῆς ἄνεμος τυφωνικὸς ὁ καλούμενος εὐροκλύδων

KJV ¹⁵ And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

TR1550 ¹⁵ συναρπασθέντος δὲ τοῦ πλοίου καὶ μὴ δυναμένου ἀντοφθαλμεῖν τῷ ἀνέμῳ ἐπιδόντες ἐφερόμεθα

KJV ¹⁶ And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

TR1550 ¹⁶ νησίον δέ τι ὑποδραμόντες καλούμενον κλαύδην, μόλις ἰσχύσαμεν περικρατεῖς γενέσθαι τῆς σκάφης

KJV ¹⁷ Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

TR1550 ¹⁷ ἣν ἄραντες βοηθείαις ἐχρῶντο ὑποζωννύντες τὸ πλοῖον φοβούμενοί τε μὴ εἰς τὴν σύρτιν ἐκπέσωσιν χαλάσαντες τὸ σκεῦος οὕτως ἐφέροντο

KJV ¹⁸ And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

TR1550 ¹⁸ σφοδρῶς δὲ χειμαζομένων ἡμῶν τῇ ἑξῆς ἐκβολὴν ἐποιοῦντο

KJV ¹⁹ And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

TR1550 ¹⁹ καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ αὐτόχειρες τὴν σκευὴν τοῦ πλοίου ἔῤῥιψαμεν

KJV ²⁰ And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

TR1550 ²⁰ μήτε δὲ ἡλίου μήτε ἄστρων ἐπιφαινόντων ἐπὶ πλείονας ἡμέρας χειμῶνός τε οὐκ ὀλίγου ἐπικειμένου λοιπὸν περιῃρεῖτο πᾶσα ἐλπὶς τοῦ σῴζεσθαι ἡμᾶς

KJV ²¹ But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

TR1550 ²¹ πολλῆς δέ ἀσιτίας ὑπαρχούσης τότε σταθεὶς ὁ παῦλος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν εἶπεν ἔδει μέν ὦ ἄνδρες πειθαρχήσαντάς μοι μὴ ἀνάγεσθαι ἀπὸ τῆς κρήτης κερδῆσαί τε τὴν ὕβριν ταύτην καὶ τὴν ζημίαν

KJV ²² And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.

TR1550 ²² καὶ τανῦν παραινῶ ὑμᾶς εὐθυμεῖν ἀποβολὴ γὰρ ψυχῆς οὐδεμία ἔσται ἐξ ὑμῶν πλὴν τοῦ πλοίου

KJV ²³ For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

TR1550 ²³ παρέστη γάρ μοι τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ οὗ εἰμι ᾧ καὶ λατρεύω

KJV ²⁴ Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

TR1550 ²⁴ λέγων, μὴ φοβοῦ παῦλε καίσαρί σε δεῖ παραστῆναι καὶ ἰδού, κεχάρισταί σοι ὁ θεὸς πάντας τοὺς πλέοντας μετὰ σοῦ

KJV ²⁵ Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

TR1550 ²⁵ διὸ εὐθυμεῖτε ἄνδρες πιστεύω γὰρ τῷ θεῷ ὅτι οὕτως ἔσται καθ᾽ ὃν τρόπον λελάληταί μοι

KJV ²⁶ Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

TR1550 ²⁶ εἰς νῆσον δέ τινα δεῖ ἡμᾶς ἐκπεσεῖν

KJV ²⁷ But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;

TR1550 ²⁷ ὡς δὲ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτη νὺξ ἐγένετο διαφερομένων ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ ἀδρίᾳ κατὰ μέσον τῆς νυκτὸς ὑπενόουν οἱ ναῦται προσάγειν τινὰ αὐτοῖς χώραν

KJV ²⁸ And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

TR1550 ²⁸ καὶ βολίσαντες εὗρον ὀργυιὰς εἴκοσι βραχὺ δὲ διαστήσαντες καὶ πάλιν βολίσαντες εὗρον ὀργυιὰς δεκαπέντε

KJV ²⁹ Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

TR1550 ²⁹ φοβούμενοί τε μήπως εἰς τραχεῖς τόπους ἐκπέσωσιν ἐκ πρύμνης ῥίψαντες ἀγκύρας τέσσαρας ηὔχοντο ἡμέραν γενέσθαι

KJV ³⁰ And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,

TR1550 ³⁰ τῶν δὲ ναυτῶν ζητούντων φυγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ πλοίου καὶ χαλασάντων τὴν σκάφην εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν προφάσει ὡς ἐκ πρώρας μελλόντων ἀγκύρας ἐκτείνειν

KJV ³¹ Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

TR1550 ³¹ εἶπεν ὁ παῦλος τῷ ἑκατοντάρχῃ καὶ τοῖς στρατιώταις ἐὰν μὴ οὗτοι μείνωσιν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ ὑμεῖς σωθῆναι οὐ δύνασθε

KJV ³² Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

TR1550 ³² τότε οἱ στρατιῶται ἀπέκοψαν τὰ σχοινία τῆς σκάφης καὶ εἴασαν αὐτὴν ἐκπεσεῖν

KJV ³³ And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

TR1550 ³³ ἄχρι δὲ οὗ ἔμελλεν ἡμέρα γίνεσθαι παρεκάλει ὁ παῦλος ἅπαντας μεταλαβεῖν τροφῆς λέγων, τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτην σήμερον ἡμέραν προσδοκῶντες ἄσιτοι διατελεῖτε μηδὲν προσλαβόμενοι

KJV ³⁴ Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

TR1550 ³⁴ διὸ παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς προσλαβεῖν τροφῆς τοῦτο γὰρ πρὸς τῆς ὑμετέρας σωτηρίας ὑπάρχει οὐδενὸς γὰρ ὑμῶν θρὶξ ἐκ τῆς κεφαλῆς πεσεῖται

KJV ³⁵ And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

TR1550 ³⁵ εἴπων δὲ ταῦτα καὶ λαβὼν ἄρτον εὐχαρίστησεν τῷ θεῷ ἐνώπιον πάντων καὶ κλάσας ἤρξατο ἐσθίειν

KJV ³⁶ Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

TR1550 ³⁶ εὔθυμοι δὲ γενόμενοι πάντες καὶ αὐτοὶ προσελάβοντο τροφῆς

KJV ³⁷ And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

TR1550 ³⁷ ἤμεν δὲ ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ αἱ πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ διακόσιαι ἑβδομήκονταέξ

KJV ³⁸ And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

TR1550 ³⁸ κορεσθέντες δὲ τροφῆς ἐκούφιζον τὸ πλοῖον ἐκβαλλόμενοι τὸν σῖτον εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν

KJV ³⁹ And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

TR1550 ³⁹ ὅτε δὲ ἡμέρα ἐγένετο τὴν γῆν οὐκ ἐπεγίνωσκον κόλπον δέ τινα κατενόουν ἔχοντα αἰγιαλὸν εἰς ὃν ἐβουλεύσαντο, εἰ δύναιντο ἐξῶσαι τὸ πλοῖον

KJV ⁴⁰ And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

TR1550 ⁴⁰ καὶ τὰς ἀγκύρας περιελόντες εἴων εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν ἅμα ἀνέντες τὰς ζευκτηρίας τῶν πηδαλίων καὶ ἐπάραντες τὸν ἀρτέμονα τῇ πνεούσῃ κατεῖχον εἰς τὸν αἰγιαλόν

KJV ⁴¹ And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

TR1550 ⁴¹ περιπεσόντες δὲ εἰς τόπον διθάλασσον ἐπώκειλαν τὴν ναῦν καὶ ἡ μὲν πρῷρα ἐρείσασα ἔμεινεν ἀσάλευτος ἡ δὲ πρύμνα ἐλύετο ὑπὸ τῆς βίας τῶν κυμάτων

KJV ⁴² And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

TR1550 ⁴² τῶν δὲ στρατιωτῶν βουλὴ ἐγένετο ἵνα τοὺς δεσμώτας ἀποκτείνωσιν μήτις ἐκκολυμβήσας διαφύγοι

KJV ⁴³ But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

TR1550 ⁴³ ὁ δὲ ἑκατόνταρχος βουλόμενος διασῶσαι τὸν παῦλον ἐκώλυσεν αὐτοὺς τοῦ βουλήματος ἐκέλευσέν τε τοὺς δυναμένους κολυμβᾶν ἀποῤῥίψαντας πρώτους ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐξιέναι

KJV ⁴⁴ And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

TR1550 ⁴⁴ καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς οὓς μὲν ἐπὶ σανίσιν οὓς δὲ ἐπί τινων τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ πλοίου καὶ οὕτως ἐγένετο πάντας διασωθῆναι ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

KJV ¹ And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

TR1550 ¹ καὶ διασωθέντες τότε ἐπέγνωσαν ὅτι μελίτη ἡ νῆσος καλεῖται

KJV ² And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

TR1550 ² οἵ δέ βάρβαροι παρεῖχον οὐ τὴν τυχοῦσαν φιλανθρωπίαν ἡμῖν ἀνάψαντες γὰρ πυρὰν προσελάβοντο πάντας ἡμᾶς διὰ τὸν ὑετὸν τὸν ἐφεστῶτα καὶ διὰ τὸ ψῦχος

KJV ³ And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

TR1550 ³ συστρέψαντος δὲ τοῦ παύλου φρυγάνων πλῆθος καὶ ἐπιθέντος ἐπὶ τὴν πυράν ἔχιδνα ἐκ τῆς θέρμης ἐξελθοῦσα καθῆψεν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ

KJV ⁴ And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

TR1550 ⁴ ὡς δὲ εἶδον οἱ βάρβαροι κρεμάμενον τὸ θηρίον ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἀλλήλους πάντως φονεύς ἐστιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος ὃν διασωθέντα ἐκ τῆς θαλάσσης ἡ δίκη ζῆν οὐκ εἴασεν

KJV ⁵ And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

TR1550 ⁵ ὁ μὲν οὖν ἀποτινάξας τὸ θηρίον εἰς τὸ πῦρ ἔπαθεν οὐδὲν κακόν
