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

Μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα χωρισθεὶς ὁ Παῦλος ἐκ τῶν Ἀθηνῶν ἦλθεν εἰς Κόρινθον·

По си́хъ же ѿлꙋчи́всѧ па́ѵелъ ѿ а҆ѳи́нъ, прїи́де въ корі́нѳъ:

2

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.

καὶ εὑρών τινα Ἰουδαῖον ὀνόματι Ἀκύλαν, Ποντικὸν τῷ γένει, προσφάτως ἐληλυθότα ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰταλίας, καὶ Πρίσκιλλαν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, διὰ τὸ διατεταχέναι Κλαύδιον χωρίζεσθαι πάντας τοὺς Ἰουδαίους ἀπὸ τῆς Ρώμης, προσῆλθεν αὐτοῖς,

и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тъ нѣ́коего і҆ꙋде́анина и҆́менемъ а҆кѵ́лꙋ, по́нтѧнина ро́домъ, но́вѡ прише́дша ѿ і҆талі́и, и҆ прїскі́ллꙋ женꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀: занѐ повелѣ́лъ бѧ́ше клаѵді́й ѿлꙋчи́тисѧ всѣ̑мъ і҆ꙋде́ємъ ѿ ри́ма: прїи́де къ ни̑мъ,

3

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

καὶ διὰ τὸ ὁμότεχνον εἶναι ἔμεινε παρ᾿ αὐτοῖς καὶ εἰργάζετο· ἦσαν γὰρ σκηνοποιοὶ τῇ τέχνῃ.

и҆ занѐ є҆динохꙋдо́жникѡмъ бы́ти и҆̀мъ, пребы́сть ᲂу҆ ни́хъ и҆ дѣ́лаше: бѧ́хꙋ бо скинотво́рцы хи́тростїю.

4

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

διελέγετο δὲ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ κατὰ πᾶν σάββατον, ἔπειθέ τε Ἰουδαίους καὶ ῞Ελληνας.

Стѧза́шесѧ же на со́нмищахъ по всѧ̑ сꙋббѡ̑ты и҆ препира́ше і҆ꙋдє́и и҆ є҆́ллины.

5

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

Ὡς δὲ κατῆλθον ἀπὸ τῆς Μακεδονίας ὅ τε Σίλας καὶ ὁ Τιμόθεος, συνείχετο τῷ πνεύματι ὁ Παῦλος διαμαρτυρόμενος τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις τὸν Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν.

И҆ є҆гда̀ снидо́ста ѿ македо́нїи сі́ла же и҆ тїмоѳе́й, тꙋжа́ше дꙋ́хомъ па́ѵелъ, свидѣ́тельствꙋѧ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ і҆и҃са бы́ти хрⷭ҇та̀.

6

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.

ἀντιτασσομένων δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ βλασφημούντων ἐκτιναξάμενος τὰ ἱμάτια εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· τὸ αἷμα ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν ὑμῶν· καθαρὸς ἐγώ· ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν εἰς τὰ ἔθνη πορεύσομαι.

Проти́вѧщымсѧ же и҆̀мъ и҆ хꙋ́лѧщымъ, ѡ҆трѧ́съ ри̑зы своѧ̑, речѐ къ ни̑мъ: кро́вь ва́ша на глава́хъ ва́шихъ: чи́стъ а҆́зъ, ѿнн҃ѣ во ꙗ҆зы́ки и҆дꙋ̀.

7

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.

καὶ μεταβὰς ἐκεῖθεν ἦλθεν εἰς οἰκίαν τινὸς ὀνόματι Ἰούστου, σεβομένου τὸν Θεόν, οὗ ἡ οἰκία ἦν συνομοροῦσα τῇ συναγωγῇ.

И҆ преше́дъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, прїи́де въ до́мъ нѣ́коегѡ и҆́менемъ і҆ꙋ́ста, чтꙋ́ща бг҃а, є҆мꙋ́же хра́мина бѣ̀ вскра́й со́нмища.

8

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.

Κρίσπος δὲ ὁ ἀρχισυνάγωγος ἐπίστευσε τῷ Κυρίῳ σὺν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πολλοὶ τῶν Κορινθίων ἀκούοντες ἐπίστευον καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο.

Крі́спъ же нача́льникъ собо́ра вѣ́рова гдⷭ҇еви со всѣ́мъ до́момъ свои́мъ, и҆ мно́зи ѿ корі́нѳѧнъ слы́шавше вѣ́ровахꙋ и҆ креща́хꙋсѧ.

9

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

εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος δι᾿ ὁράματος ἐν νυκτὶ τῷ Παύλῳ· μὴ φοβοῦ, ἀλλὰ λάλει καὶ μὴ σιωπήσῃς,

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь въ видѣ́нїи нощнѣ́мъ па́ѵлꙋ: не бо́йсѧ, но глаго́ли и҆ да не ᲂу҆мо́лкнеши,

10

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

διότι ἐγώ εἰμι μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπιθήσεταί σοι τοῦ κακῶσαί σε, διότι λαὸς ἐστί μοι πολὺς ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ.

занѐ а҆́зъ є҆́смь съ тобо́ю, и҆ никто́же приложи́тъ ѡ҆ѕло́бити тѧ̀: занѐ лю́дїе сꙋ́ть мѝ мно́зи во гра́дѣ се́мъ.

11

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

ἐκάθισέ τε ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ μῆνας ἓξ διδάσκων ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

Пребы́сть же та́мѡ лѣ́то и҆ мцⷭ҇ъ ше́сть, ᲂу҆чѧ̀ въ ни́хъ сло́вꙋ бж҃їю.

12

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

Γαλλίωνος δὲ ἀνθυπατεύοντος τῆς Ἀχαΐας κατεπέστησαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ βῆμα,

Галлїѡ́нꙋ же а҆нѳѷпа́тꙋ сꙋ́щꙋ во а҆ха́їи, нападо́ша є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ і҆ꙋде́є на па́ѵла и҆ приведо́ша є҆го̀ на сꙋди́лище,

13

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

λέγοντες ὅτι παρὰ τὸν νόμον οὗτος ἀναπείθει τοὺς ἀνθρώπους σέβεσθαι τὸν Θεόν.

глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ проти́вꙋ зако́нꙋ се́й ᲂу҆вѣщава́етъ человѣ́ки чти́ти бг҃а.

14

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:

μέλλοντος δὲ τοῦ Παύλου ἀνοίγειν τὸ στόμα εἶπεν ὁ Γαλλίων πρὸς τοὺς Ἰουδαίους· εἰ μὲν οὖν ἦν ἀδίκημά τι ἢ ρᾳδιούργημα πονηρόν, ὦ Ἰουδαῖοι, κατὰ λόγον ἂν ἠνεσχόμην ὑμῶν·

Хотѧ́щꙋ же па́ѵлꙋ ѿве́рсти ᲂу҆ста̀, речѐ галлїѡ́нъ ко і҆ꙋде́ємъ: а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо непра́вда была́ бы ка́ѧ и҆лѝ дѣ́ло ѕло́е, ѽ, і҆ꙋде́є, по сло́вꙋ послꙋ́шалъ бы́хъ ва́съ:

15

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.

εἰ δὲ ζήτημά ἐστι περὶ λόγου καὶ ὀνομάτων καὶ νόμου τοῦ καθ᾿ ὑμᾶς, ὄψεσθε αὐτοί· κριτὴς γὰρ ἐγὼ τούτων οὐ βούλομαι εἶναι.

а҆́ще ли же стѧза̑нїѧ сꙋ́ть ѡ҆ словесѝ и҆ ѡ҆ и҆́менѣхъ и҆ ѡ҆ зако́нѣ ва́шемъ, вѣ́дите са́ми: сꙋдїѧ́ бо а҆́зъ си̑мъ не хощꙋ̀ бы́ти.

16

And he drave them from the judgment seat.

καὶ ἀπήλασεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ βήματος.

И҆ и҆згна̀ и҆̀хъ ѿ сꙋди́лища.

17

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.

ἐπιλαβόμενοι δὲ πάντες οἱ ῞Ελληνες Σωσθένην τὸν ἀρχισυνάγωγον ἔτυπτον ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ βήματος· καὶ οὐδὲν τούτων τῷ Γαλλίωνι ἔμελεν.

Є҆́мше же всѝ є҆́ллини сѡсѳе́на нача́льника собо́ра, бїѧ́хꙋ пред̾ сꙋди́лищемъ: и҆ ни є҆ди́но ѡ҆ си́хъ галлїѡ́нꙋ радѣ́нїе бы́сть.

18

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.

Ὁ δὲ Παῦλος ἔτι προσμείνας ἡμέρας ἱκανάς, τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ἀποταξάμενος ἐξέπλει εἰς τὴν Συρίαν, καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ Πρίσκιλλα καὶ Ἀκύλας, κειράμενος τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐν Κεγχρεαῖς· εἶχε γὰρ εὐχήν.

Па́ѵелъ же, є҆щѐ пребы́въ дни̑ довѡ́льны и҆ цѣлова́въ бра́тїю, ѿплы̀ въ сѷрі́ю, и҆ съ ни́мъ а҆кѵ́ла и҆ прїскі́лла, ѡ҆стри́гъ главꙋ̀ въ кегхре́ихъ: ѡ҆бре́ксѧ бо бѣ̀.

19

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

κατήντησε δὲ εἰς Ἔφεσον, κἀκείνους κατέλιπεν αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς δὲ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν διελέχθη τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις.

Приста́ же во є҆фе́сѣ и҆ тѣ́хъ ѡ҆ста́ви та́мѡ, са́мъ же вше́дъ въ со́нмище, стѧза́шесѧ со і҆ꙋдє́и.

20

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

ἐρωτώντων δὲ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ πλείονα χρόνον μεῖναι παρ᾿ αὐτοῖς οὐκ ἐπένευσεν,

Молѧ́щымъ же и҆̀мъ є҆го̀ на мно́го вре́мѧ пребы́ти ᲂу҆ ни́хъ, не и҆зво́ли,

21

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.

ἀλλ᾿ ἀπετάξατο αὐτοῖς εἰπών· δεῖ με πάντως τὴν ἑορτὴν τὴν ἐρχομένην ποιῆσαι εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, πάλιν δὲ ἀνακάμψω πρὸς ὑμᾶς τοῦ Θεοῦ θέλοντος. καὶ ἀνήχθη ἀπὸ τῆς Ἐφέσου,

но ѿрече́сѧ и҆̀мъ, глаго́лѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ мѝ всѧ́кѡ пра́здникъ грѧдꙋ́щїй сотвори́ти во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: па́ки же возвращꙋ́сѧ къ ва́мъ, бг҃ꙋ хотѧ́щꙋ. И҆ ѿвезе́сѧ ѿ є҆фе́са: а҆кѵ́ла же и҆ прїскі́лла ѡ҆ста́ста во є҆фе́сѣ.

22

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

καὶ κατελθὼν εἰς Καισάρειαν, ἀναβὰς καὶ ἀσπασάμενος τὴν ἐκκλησίαν κατέβη εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν,

[Заⷱ҇ 41] И҆ соше́дъ въ кесарі́ю, возше́дъ и҆ цѣлова́въ цр҃ковь, сни́де во а҆нтїохі́ю,

23

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.

καὶ ποιήσας χρόνον τινὰ ἐξῆλθε διερχόμενος καθεξῆς τὴν Γαλατικὴν χώραν καὶ Φρυγίαν, ἐπιστηρίζων πάντας τοὺς μαθητάς.

и҆ сотво́рь вре́мѧ нѣ́кое, и҆зы́де, проходѧ̀ порѧ́дꙋ галаті́йскꙋю странꙋ̀ и҆ фрѷгі́ю, ᲂу҆твержда́ѧ всѧ̑ ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ.

24

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

Ἰουδαῖος δέ τις Ἀπολλὼς ὀνόματι, Ἀλεξανδρεὺς τῷ γένει, ἀνὴρ λόγιος, κατήντησεν εἰς Ἔφεσον, δυνατὸς ὢν ἐν ταῖς γραφαῖς.

І҆ꙋде́анинъ же нѣ́кто, а҆поллѡ́съ и҆́менемъ, а҆леѯа́ндрѧнинъ ро́домъ, мꙋ́жъ слове́сенъ, прїи́де во є҆фе́съ, си́ленъ сы́й въ кни́гахъ.

25

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.

οὗτος ἦν κατηχημένος τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ζέων τῷ πνεύματι ἐλάλει καὶ ἐδίδασκεν ἀκριβῶς τὰ περὶ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἐπιστάμενος μόνον τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου·

Се́й бѣ̀ ѡ҆глаше́нъ пꙋтѝ гдⷭ҇ню, и҆ горѧ̀ дꙋ́хомъ, глаго́лаше и҆ ᲂу҆ча́ше и҆звѣ́стнѡ ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ, вѣ́дый то́кмѡ креще́нїе і҆ѡа́нново.

26

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.

οὗτός τε ἤρξατο παρρησιάζεσθαι ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ. ἀκούσαντες δὲ αὐτοῦ Ἀκύλας καὶ Πρίσκιλλα προσελάβοντο αὐτὸν καὶ ἀκριβέστερον αὐτῷ ἐξέθεντο τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ.

Се́й же нача́тъ дерза́ти на со́нмищихъ. Слы̑шавша же є҆го̀ а҆кѵ́ла и҆ прїскі́лла, прїѧ́ста є҆го̀ и҆ и҆звѣ́стнѣе томꙋ̀ сказа́ста пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень.

27

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:

βουλομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ διελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Ἀχαΐαν προτρεψάμενοι οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἔγραψαν τοῖς μαθηταῖς ἀποδέξασθαι αὐτόν· ὃς παραγενόμενος συνεβάλετο πολὺ τοῖς πεπιστευκόσι διὰ τῆς χάριτος.

Хотѧ́щꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀ преитѝ во а҆ха́їю, предпосла́вше бра́тїѧ написа́ша ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ прїѧ́ти є҆го̀: и҆́же прише́дъ та́мѡ посо́бствова мно́гѡ вѣ́ровавшымъ блгⷣтїю:

28

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

εὐτόνως γὰρ τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις διακατηλέγχετο δημοσίᾳ ἐπιδεικνὺς διὰ τῶν γραφῶν εἶναι τὸν Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν.

тве́рдѡ бо і҆ꙋдє́и не престаѧ̀ ѡ҆блича́ше пред̾ людьмѝ, сказꙋ́ѧ писа́ньми, і҆и҃са бы́ти хрⷭ҇та̀.
