: 3 And being brought <4311 - propempo - > on their way <4311 - propempo - > by the church <1577 - ekklesia - > , they passed <1330 - dierchomai - > through <1330 - dierchomai - > Phenice <5403 - Phoinike - > and Samaria <4540 - Samareia - > , declaring <1555 - ekdiegeomai - > the conversion <1995 - epistrophe - > of the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > : and they caused <4160 - poieo - > great <3173 - megas - > joy <5479 - chara - > unto all <3956 - pas - > the brethren <0080 - adephos - > .

: 4 And when they were come <3854 - paraginomai - > to Jerusalem <2419 - Hierousalem - > , they were received <0588 - apodechomai - > of the church <1577 - ekklesia - > , and [ of ] the apostles <0652 - apostolos - > and elders <4245 - presbuteros - > , and they declared <0312 - anaggello - > all <3745 - hosos - > things that God <2316 - theos - > had done <4160 - poieo - > with them .

: 5 But there rose <1817 - exanistemi - > up certain <5100 - tis - > of the sect <0139 - hairesis - > of the Pharisees <5330 - Pharisaios - > which believed <4100 - pisteuo - > , saying <3004 - lego - > , That it was needful <1163 - dei - > to circumcise <4059 - peritemno - > them , and to command <3853 - paraggello - > [ them ] to keep <5083 - tereo - > the law <3551 - nomos - > of Moses <3475 - Moseus - > .

: 6 . And the apostles <0652 - apostolos - > and elders <4245 - presbuteros - > came <4863 - sunago - > together <4863 - sunago - > for to consider <1492 - eido - > of this <5127 - toutou - > matter <3056 - logos - > .

: 7 And when there had been <1096 - ginomai - > much <4183 - polus - > disputing <4803 - suzetesis - > , Peter <4074 - Petros - > rose <0450 - anistemi - > up , and said <2036 - epo - > unto them , Men <0435 - aner - > [ and ] brethren <0080 - adephos - > , ye know <1987 - epistamai - > how that a good while <2250 - hemera - > ago <0575 - apo - > God <2316 - theos - > made <1586 - eklegomai - > choice <1586 - eklegomai - > among <1722 - en - > us , that the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > by my mouth <4750 - stoma - > should hear <0191 - akouo - > the word <3056 - logos - > of the gospel <2098 - euaggelion - > , and believe <4100 - pisteuo - > .

: 8 And God <2316 - theos - > , which knoweth <2589 - kardiognostes - > the hearts <2589 - kardiognostes - > , bare <3140 - martureo - > them witness <3140 - martureo - > , giving <1325 - didomi - > them the Holy <0040 - hagios - > Ghost <4151 - pneuma - > , even <2532 - kai - > as [ he did ] unto us ;

: 9 And put <1252 - diakrino - > no <3762 - oudeis - > difference <1252 - diakrino - > between <3342 - metaxu - > us and them , purifying <2511 - katharizo - > their hearts <2588 - kardia - > by faith <4102 - pistis - > .

: 10 Now <3568 - nun - > therefore <3767 - oun - > why <5101 - tis - > tempt <3985 - peirazo - > ye God <2316 - theos - > , to put <2007 - epitithemi - > a yoke <2218 - zugos - > upon the neck <5137 - trachelos - > of the disciples <3101 - mathetes - > , which <3739 - hos - > neither <3777 - oute - > our fathers <3962 - pater - > nor <3777 - oute - > we were able <2480 - ischuo - > to bear <0941 - bastazo - > ?

: 11 But we believe <4100 - pisteuo - > that through <1223 - dia - > the grace <5485 - charis - > of the Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > we shall be saved <4982 - sozo - > , even <2548 - kakeinos - > as they .

: 12 Then <1161 - de - > all <3956 - pas - > the multitude <4128 - plethos - > kept <4601 - sigao - > silence <4601 - sigao - > , and gave audience <0191 - akouo - > to Barnabas <0921 - Barnabas - > and Paul <3972 - Paulos - > , declaring <1834 - exegeomai - > what <3745 - hosos - > miracles <4592 - semeion - > and wonders <5059 - teras - > God <2316 - theos - > had wrought <4160 - poieo - > among <1722 - en - > the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > by them .

: 13 And after <3326 - meta - > they had held <4601 - sigao - > their peace <4601 - sigao - > , James <2385 - Iakobos - > answered <0611 - apokrinomai - > , saying <3004 - lego - > , Men <0435 - aner - > [ and ] brethren <0080 - adephos - > , hearken <0191 - akouo - > unto me :

: 14 Simeon <4826 - Sumeon - > hath declared <1834 - exegeomai - > how <2531 - kathos - > God <2316 - theos - > at the first <4412 - proton - > did visit <1980 - episkeptomai - > the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > , to take <2983 - lambano - > out of them a people <2992 - laos - > for his name <3686 - onoma - > .

: 15 And to this <5129 - toutoi - > agree <4856 - sumphoneo - > the words <3056 - logos - > of the prophets <4396 - prophetes - > ; as it is written <1125 - grapho - > ,

: 16 After <3326 - meta - > this <5023 - tauta - > I will return <0390 - anastrepho - > , and will build <0456 - anoikodomeo - > again <0456 - anoikodomeo - > the tabernacle <4633 - skene - > of David <1138 - Dabid - > , which <3588 - ho - > is fallen <4098 - pipto - > down ; and I will build <0456 - anoikodomeo - > again <0456 - anoikodomeo - > the ruins <2679 - kataskapto - > thereof <0846 - autos - > , and I will set <0461 - anorthoo - > it up :

: 17 That the residue <2645 - kataloipos - > of men <0444 - anthropos - > might seek <1567 - ekzeteo - > after <1567 - ekzeteo - > the Lord <2962 - kurios - > , and all <3956 - pas - > the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > , upon whom <3739 - hos - > my name <3686 - onoma - > is called <1941 - epikaleomai - > , saith <3004 - lego - > the Lord <2962 - kurios - > , who <3588 - ho - > doeth <4160 - poieo - > all <3956 - pas - > these <5023 - tauta - > things .

: 18 Known <1110 - gnostos - > unto God <2316 - theos - > are all <3956 - pas - > his works <2041 - ergon - > from the beginning of the world <0165 - aion - > .

: 19 Wherefore <1352 - dio - > my sentence <2919 - krino - > is , that we trouble <3926 - parenochleo - > not them , which <3588 - ho - > from among <0575 - apo - > the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > are turned <1994 - epistrepho - > to God <2316 - theos - > :

: 20 But that we write <1989 - epistello - > unto them , that they abstain <0567 - apechomai - > from pollutions <0234 - alisgema - > of idols <1497 - eidolon - > , and [ from ] fornication <4202 - porneia - > , and [ from ] things strangled <4156 - pniktos - > , and [ from ] blood <0129 - haima - > .

: 21 For Moses <3475 - Moseus - > of old <0744 - archaios - > time <1074 - genea - > hath <2192 - echo - > in every <2596 - kata - > city <4172 - polis - > them that preach <2784 - kerusso - > him , being read <0314 - anaginosko - > in the synagogues <4864 - sunagoge - > every <3956 - pas - > sabbath <4521 - sabbaton - > day .

: 22 . Then <5119 - tote - > pleased <1380 - dokeo - > it the apostles <0652 - apostolos - > and elders <4245 - presbuteros - > , with the whole <3650 - holos - > church <1577 - ekklesia - > , to send <3992 - pempo - > chosen <1586 - eklegomai - > men <0435 - aner - > of their own company to Antioch <0490 - Antiocheia - > with Paul <3972 - Paulos - > and Barnabas <0921 - Barnabas - > ; [ namely ] , Judas <2455 - Ioudas - > surnamed <1941 - epikaleomai - > Barsabas <0923 - Barsabas - > , and Silas <4609 - Silas - > , chief <2233 - hegeomai - > men <0435 - aner - > among <1722 - en - > the brethren <0080 - adephos - > :

: 23 And they wrote <1125 - grapho - > [ letters ] by them after this <3592 - hode - > manner <3592 - hode - > ; The apostles <0652 - apostolos - > and elders <4245 - presbuteros - > and brethren <0080 - adephos - > [ send ] greeting <5463 - chairo - > unto the brethren <0080 - adephos - > which <3588 - ho - > are of the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > in Antioch <0490 - Antiocheia - > and Syria <4947 - Suria - > and Cilicia <2791 - Kilikia - > :

: 24 Forasmuch <1894 - epeide - > as we have heard <0191 - akouo - > , that certain <5100 - tis - > which went <1831 - exerchomai - > out from us have troubled <5015 - tarasso - > you with words <3056 - logos - > , subverting <0384 - anaskeuazo - > your <5216 - humon - > souls <5590 - psuche - > , saying <3004 - lego - > , [ Ye must ] be circumcised <4059 - peritemno - > , and keep <5083 - tereo - > the law <3551 - nomos - > : to whom <3739 - hos - > we gave <1291 - diastellomai - > no <3756 - ou - > [ such ] commandment <1291 - diastellomai - > :

: 25 It seemed <1380 - dokeo - > good unto us , being assembled <1096 - ginomai - > with one <3661 - homothumadon - > accord <3661 - homothumadon - > , to send <3992 - pempo - > chosen <1586 - eklegomai - > men <0435 - aner - > unto you with our beloved <0027 - agapetos - > Barnabas <0921 - Barnabas - > and Paul <3972 - Paulos - > ,

: 26 Men <0444 - anthropos - > that have hazarded <3860 - paradidomi - > their lives <5590 - psuche - > for the name <3686 - onoma - > of our Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > .

: 27 We have sent <0649 - apostello - > therefore <3767 - oun - > Judas <2455 - Ioudas - > and Silas <4609 - Silas - > , who <0846 - autos - > shall also <2532 - kai - > tell <0518 - apaggello - > [ you ] the same <0846 - autos - > things by mouth <3056 - logos - > .

: 28 For it seemed <1380 - dokeo - > good to the Holy <0040 - hagios - > Ghost <4151 - pneuma - > , and to us , to lay <2007 - epitithemi - > upon you no <3367 - medeis - > greater <4119 - pleion - > burden <0922 - baros - > than <4133 - plen - > these <5130 - touton - > necessary <1876 - epanagkes - > things ;

: 29 That ye abstain <0567 - apechomai - > from meats offered <1494 - eidolothuton - > to idols <1494 - eidolothuton - > , and from blood <0129 - haima - > , and from things strangled <4156 - pniktos - > , and from fornication <4202 - porneia - > : from which <3739 - hos - > if ye keep <1301 - diatereo - > yourselves <1438 - heautou - > , ye shall do <4238 - prasso - > well <2095 - eu - > . Fare <4517 - rhonnumi - > ye well <2095 - eu - > .

: 30 So <3767 - oun - > when they were dismissed <0630 - apoluo - > , they came <2064 - erchomai - > to Antioch <0490 - Antiocheia - > : and when they had gathered <4863 - sunago - > the multitude <4128 - plethos - > together <4863 - sunago - > , they delivered <1929 - epididomi - > the epistle <1992 - epistole - > :

: 31 [ Which ] when they had read <0314 - anaginosko - > , they rejoiced <5463 - chairo - > for the consolation <3874 - paraklesis - > .

: 32 And Judas <2455 - Ioudas - > and Silas <4609 - Silas - > , being <5607 - on - > prophets <4396 - prophetes - > also <2532 - kai - > themselves <0846 - autos - > , exhorted <3870 - parakaleo - > the brethren <0080 - adephos - > with many <4183 - polus - > words <3056 - logos - > , and confirmed <1991 - episterizo - > [ them ] .

: 33 And after they had tarried <4160 - poieo - > [ there ] a space <5550 - chronos - > , they were let <0630 - apoluo - > go <0630 - apoluo - > in peace <1515 - eirene - > from the brethren <0080 - adephos - > unto the apostles .

: 34 Notwithstanding it pleased <1380 - dokeo - > Silas <4609 - Silas - > to abide <1961 - epimeno - > there <0847 - autou - > still .

: 35 Paul <3972 - Paulos - > also <1161 - de - > and Barnabas <0921 - Barnabas - > continued <1304 - diatribo - > in Antioch <0490 - Antiocheia - > , teaching <1321 - didasko - > and preaching <2097 - euaggelizo - > the word <3056 - logos - > of the Lord <2962 - kurios - > , with many <4183 - polus - > others <2087 - heteros - > also <2532 - kai - > .

: 36 . And some <5100 - tis - > days <2250 - hemera - > after <3326 - meta - > Paul <3972 - Paulos - > said <2036 - epo - > unto Barnabas <0921 - Barnabas - > , Let us go <1994 - epistrepho - > again <1994 - epistrepho - > and visit <1980 - episkeptomai - > our brethren <0080 - adephos - > in every <3956 - pas - > city <4172 - polis - > where <3739 - hos - > we have preached <2605 - kataggello - > the word <3056 - logos - > of the Lord <2962 - kurios - > , [ and see ] how <4459 - pos - > they do <2192 - echo - > .

: 37 And Barnabas <0921 - Barnabas - > determined <1011 - bouleuo - > to take <4838 - sumparalambano - > with them John <2491 - Ioannes - > , whose <3588 - ho - > surname <2564 - kaleo - > was Mark <3138 - Markos - > .

: 38 But Paul <3972 - Paulos - > thought not good <0515 - axioo - > to take <4838 - sumparalambano - > him with them , who <3588 - ho - > departed <0868 - aphistemi - > from them from Pamphylia <3828 - Pamphulia - > , and went <4905 - sunerchomai - > not with them to the work <2041 - ergon - > .

: 39 And the contention <3948 - paroxusmos - > was so <5620 - hoste - > sharp between them , that they departed <0673 - apochorizo - > asunder <0673 - apochorizo - > one <0240 - allelon - > from the other <0240 - allelon - > : and so <5037 - te - > Barnabas <0921 - Barnabas - > took <3880 - paralambano - > Mark <3138 - Markos - > , and sailed <1602 - ekpleo - > unto Cyprus <2954 - Kupros - > ;

: 40 And Paul <3972 - Paulos - > chose <1951 - epilegomai - > Silas <4609 - Silas - > , and departed <1831 - exerchomai - > , being recommended <3860 - paradidomi - > by the brethren <0080 - adephos - > unto the grace <5485 - charis - > of God <2316 - theos - > .

: 41 And he went <1330 - dierchomai - > through <1350 - diktuon - > Syria <4947 - Suria - > and Cilicia <2791 - Kilikia - > , confirming <1991 - episterizo - > the churches <1577 - ekklesia - > .

: Acts 16

: 1 . Then <1161 - de - > came <2658 - katantao - > he to Derbe <1191 - Derbe - > and Lystra <3082 - Lustra - > : and , behold <2400 - idou - > , a certain <5100 - tis - > disciple <3101 - mathetes - > was there <1563 - ekei - > , named <3686 - onoma - > Timotheus <5095 - Timotheos - > , the son <5207 - huios - > of a certain <5100 - tis - > woman <1135 - gune - > , which was a Jewess <2453 - Ioudaios - > , and believed <4103 - pistos - > ; but his father <3962 - pater - > [ was ] a Greek <1672 - Hellen - > :

: 2 Which <3739 - hos - > was well <3140 - martureo - > reported <3140 - martureo - > of by the brethren <0080 - adephos - > that were at <1722 - en - > Lystra <3082 - Lustra - > and Iconium <2430 - Ikonion - > .

: 3 Him would <2309 - thelo - > Paul <3972 - Paulos - > have to go <1831 - exerchomai - > forth <1831 - exerchomai - > with him ; and took <2983 - lambano - > and circumcised <4059 - peritemno - > him because <1223 - dia - > of the Jews <2453 - Ioudaios - > which <3588 - ho - > were in those <1565 - ekeinos - > quarters <5117 - topos - > : for they knew <1492 - eido - > all <0537 - hapas - > that his father <3962 - pater - > was a Greek <1672 - Hellen - > .

: 4 And as they went <1279 - diaporeuomai - > through <1279 - diaporeuomai - > the cities <4172 - polis - > , they delivered <3860 - paradidomi - > them the decrees <1378 - dogma - > for to keep <5442 - phulasso - > , that were ordained <2919 - krino - > of the apostles <0652 - apostolos - > and elders <4245 - presbuteros - > which <3588 - ho - > were at <1722 - en - > Jerusalem <2419 - Hierousalem - > .

: 5 And so <3767 - oun - > were the churches <1577 - ekklesia - > established <4732 - stereoo - > in the faith <4102 - pistis - > , and increased <4052 - perisseuo - > in number <0706 - arithmos - > daily <2250 - hemera - > .

: 6 . Now <1161 - de - > when they had gone <1330 - dierchomai - > throughout <1330 - dierchomai - > Phrygia <5435 - Phrugia - > and the region <5561 - chora - > of Galatia <1054 - Galatikos - > , and were forbidden <2967 - koluo - > of the Holy <0040 - hagios - > Ghost <4151 - pneuma - > to preach <2980 - laleo - > the word <3056 - logos - > in Asia <0773 - Asia - > ,

: 7 After they were come <2064 - erchomai - > to Mysia <3465 - Musia - > , they assayed <3985 - peirazo - > to go <4198 - poreuomai - > into <2596 - kata - > Bithynia <0978 - Bithunia - > : but the Spirit <4151 - pneuma - > suffered <1439 - eao - > them not .

: 8 And they passing <3928 - parerchomai - > by Mysia <3465 - Musia - > came <2597 - katabaino - > down <2597 - katabaino - > to Troas <5174 - Troas - > .

: 9 And a vision <3705 - horama - > appeared <3700 - optanomai - > to Paul <3972 - Paulos - > in the night <3571 - nux - > ; There stood <2476 - histemi - > a man <0435 - aner - > of Macedonia <3110 - Makedon - > , and prayed <3870 - parakaleo - > him , saying <3004 - lego - > , Come <1224 - diabaino - > over <1224 - diabaino - > into <1519 - eis - > Macedonia <3109 - Makedonia - > , and help <0997 - boetheo - > us .

: 10 And after <5613 - hos - > he had seen <1492 - eido - > the vision <3705 - horama - > , immediately <2112 - eutheos - > we endeavoured <2212 - zeteo - > to go <1831 - exerchomai - > into <1519 - eis - > Macedonia <3109 - Makedonia - > , assuredly <4822 - sumbibazo - > gathering <4822 - sumbibazo - > that the Lord <2962 - kurios - > had called <4341 - proskaleomai - > us for to preach <2097 - euaggelizo - > the gospel <2097 - euaggelizo - > unto them .

: 11 Therefore <3767 - oun - > loosing <0321 - anago - > from Troas <5174 - Troas - > , we came <2113 - euthudromeo - > with a straight <2113 - euthudromeo - > course <2113 - euthudromeo - > to Samothracia <4543 - Samothraike - > , and the next <1966 - epiousa - > [ day ] to Neapolis <3496 - Neapolis - > ;

: 11 And God <2316 - theos - > wrought <4160 - poieo - > special <5177 - tugchano - > miracles <1411 - dunamis - > by the hands <5495 - cheir - > of Paul <3972 - Paulos - > :

: 12 So <5620 - hoste - > that from his body <5559 - chros - > were brought <2018 - epiphero - > unto the sick <0770 - astheneo - > handkerchiefs <4676 - soudarion - > or <2228 - e - > aprons <4612 - simikinthion - > , and the diseases <3554 - nosos - > departed <0525 - apallasso - > from them , and the evil <4190 - poneros - > spirits <4151 - pneuma - > went <1831 - exerchomai - > out of them .

: 13 . Then <1161 - de - > certain <5100 - tis - > of the vagabond <4022 - perierchomai - > Jews <2453 - Ioudaios - > , exorcists <1845 - exorkistes - > , took <2021 - epicheireo - > upon them to call <3687 - onomazo - > over <1909 - epi - > them which had <2192 - echo - > evil <4190 - poneros - > spirits <4151 - pneuma - > the name <3686 - onoma - > of the Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > , saying <3004 - lego - > , We adjure <3726 - horkizo - > you by Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > whom <3739 - hos - > Paul <3972 - Paulos - > preacheth <2784 - kerusso - > .

: 14 And there were seven <2033 - hepta - > sons <5207 - huios - > of [ one ] Sceva <4630 - Skeuas - > , a Jew <2453 - Ioudaios - > , [ and ] chief <0749 - archiereus - > of the priests <0749 - archiereus - > , which did <4160 - poieo - > so <5124 - touto - > .

: 15 And the evil <4190 - poneros - > spirit <4151 - pneuma - > answered <0611 - apokrinomai - > and said <2036 - epo - > , Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > I know <1097 - ginosko - > , and Paul <3972 - Paulos - > I know <1987 - epistamai - > ; but who <5101 - tis - > are ye ?

: 16 And the man <0444 - anthropos - > in whom <3739 - hos - > the evil <4190 - poneros - > spirit <4151 - pneuma - > was leaped <2177 - ephallomai - > on <1909 - epi - > them , and overcame <2634 - katakurieuo - > them , and prevailed <2480 - ischuo - > against <2596 - kata - > them , so <5620 - hoste - > that they fled <1628 - ekpheugo - > out of that house <3624 - oikos - > naked <1131 - gumnos - > and wounded <5135 - traumatizo - > .

: 17 And this <5124 - touto - > was known <1110 - gnostos - > to all <3956 - pas - > the Jews <2453 - Ioudaios - > and Greeks <1672 - Hellen - > also <2532 - kai - > dwelling <2730 - katoikeo - > at Ephesus <2181 - Ephesos - > ; and fear <5401 - phobos - > fell <1968 - epipipto - > on <1909 - epi - > them all <3956 - pas - > , and the name <3686 - onoma - > of the Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > was magnified <3170 - megaluno - > .

: 18 And many <4183 - polus - > that believed <4100 - pisteuo - > came <2064 - erchomai - > , and confessed <1843 - exomologeo - > , and shewed <0312 - anaggello - > their deeds <4234 - praxis - > .

: 19 Many <2425 - hikanos - > of them also <1161 - de - > which used <4238 - prasso - > curious <4021 - periergos - > arts <4021 - periergos - > brought <4851 - sumphero - > their books <0976 - biblos - > together <4851 - sumphero - > , and burned <2618 - katakaio - > them before <1799 - enopion - > all <3956 - pas - > [ men ] : and they counted <4860 - sumpsephizo - > the price <5092 - time - > of them , and found <2147 - heurisko - > [ it ] fifty <3461 - murias - > thousand <3461 - murias - > [ pieces ] of silver <0694 - argurion - > .

: 20 So <3779 - houto - > mightily <2904 - kratos - > grew <0837 - auzano - > the word <3056 - logos - > of God <2962 - kurios - > and prevailed <2480 - ischuo - > .

: 21 . After <5613 - hos - > these <5023 - tauta - > things were ended <4137 - pleroo - > , Paul <3972 - Paulos - > purposed <5087 - tithemi - > in the spirit <4151 - pneuma - > , when he had passed <1330 - dierchomai - > through <1330 - dierchomai - > Macedonia <3109 - Makedonia - > and Achaia <0882 - Achaia - > , to go <4198 - poreuomai - > to Jerusalem <2419 - Hierousalem - > , saying <2036 - epo - > , After <3326 - meta - > I have been <1096 - ginomai - > there <1563 - ekei - > , I must <1163 - dei - > also <2532 - kai - > see <1492 - eido - > Rome <4516 - Rhome - > .

: 22 So he sent <0649 - apostello - > into <1519 - eis - > Macedonia <3109 - Makedonia - > two <1417 - duo - > of them that ministered <1247 - diakoneo - > unto him , Timotheus <5095 - Timotheos - > and Erastus <2037 - Erastos - > ; but he himself <0846 - autos - > stayed <1907 - epecho - > in Asia <0773 - Asia - > for a season <5550 - chronos - > .

: 23 And the same <1565 - ekeinos - > time <2540 - kairos - > there arose <1096 - ginomai - > no <3756 - ou - > small <3641 - oligos - > stir <5017 - tarachos - > about <4012 - peri - > that way <3598 - hodos - > .

: 24 For a certain <5100 - tis - > [ man ] named <3686 - onoma - > Demetrius <1216 - Demetrios - > , a silversmith <0695 - argurokopos - > , which made <4160 - poieo - > silver <0693 - argureos - > shrines <3485 - naos - > for Diana <0735 - Artemis - > , brought <3930 - parecho - > no <3756 - ou - > small <3641 - oligos - > gain <2039 - ergasia - > unto the craftsmen <5079 - technites - > ;

: 25 Whom <3739 - hos - > he called <4867 - sunathroizo - > together <4867 - sunathroizo - > with the workmen <2040 - ergates - > of like <5108 - toioutos - > occupation , and said <2036 - epo - > , Sirs <0435 - aner - > , ye know <1987 - epistamai - > that by this <5026 - taute - > craft <2039 - ergasia - > we have <2076 - esti - > our wealth <2142 - euporia - > .

: 26 Moreover <2532 - kai - > ye see <2334 - theoreo - > and hear <0191 - akouo - > , that not alone <3440 - monon - > at Ephesus <2181 - Ephesos - > , but almost <4975 - schedon - > throughout all <3956 - pas - > Asia <0773 - Asia - > , this <3778 - houtos - > Paul <3972 - Paulos - > hath persuaded <3982 - peitho - > and turned <3179 - methistemi - > away <3179 - methistemi - > much <2425 - hikanos - > people <3793 - ochlos - > , saying <3004 - lego - > that they be no <3756 - ou - > gods <2316 - theos - > , which <3588 - ho - > are made <1096 - ginomai - > with hands <5495 - cheir - > :

: 27 So that not only <3440 - monon - > this <5124 - touto - > our craft <3313 - meros - > is in danger <2793 - kinduneuo - > to be set <2064 - erchomai - > at <1519 - eis - > nought <0557 - apelegmos - > ; but also <2532 - kai - > that the temple <2411 - hieron - > of the great <3173 - megas - > goddess <2299 - thea - > Diana <0735 - Artemis - > should be despised <3049 - logizomai - > , and her magnificence <3168 - megaleiotes - > should <3195 - mello - > be destroyed <2507 - kathaireo - > , whom <3739 - hos - > all <3650 - holos - > Asia <0773 - Asia - > and the world <3625 - oikoumene - > worshippeth <4576 - sebomai - > .

: 28 And when they heard <0191 - akouo - > [ these sayings ] , they were full <4134 - pleres - > of wrath <2372 - thumos - > , and cried <2896 - krazo - > out , saying <3004 - lego - > , Great <3173 - megas - > [ is ] Diana <0735 - Artemis - > of the Ephesians <2180 - Ephesios - > .

: 29 And the whole <3650 - holos - > city <4172 - polis - > was filled <4130 - pletho - > with confusion <4799 - sugchusis - > : and having caught <4884 - sunarpazo - > Gaius <1050 - Gaios - > and Aristarchus <0708 - Aristarchos - > , men of Macedonia <3110 - Makedon - > , Paul s <3972 - Paulos - > companions <4898 - sunekdemos - > in travel <4898 - sunekdemos - > , they rushed <3729 - hormao - > with one <3661 - homothumadon - > accord <3661 - homothumadon - > into <1519 - eis - > the theatre <2302 - theatron - > .

: 30 And when Paul <3972 - Paulos - > would have entered <1525 - eiserchomai - > in unto the people <1218 - demos - > , the disciples <3101 - mathetes - > suffered <1439 - eao - > him not .

: 31 And certain <5100 - tis - > of the chief <0775 - Asiarches - > of Asia <0775 - Asiarches - > , which were his friends <5384 - philos - > , sent <3992 - pempo - > unto him , desiring <3870 - parakaleo - > [ him ] that he would not adventure <1325 - didomi - > himself <1438 - heautou - > into <1519 - eis - > the theatre <2302 - theatron - > .

: 32 Some <0243 - allos - > therefore <3767 - oun - > cried <2896 - krazo - > one <3303 - men - > thing , and some <0243 - allos - > another <0243 - allos - > : for the assembly <1577 - ekklesia - > was confused <4797 - sugcheo - > ; and the more <4119 - pleion - > part knew <1492 - eido - > not wherefore <1752 - heneka - > they were come <4905 - sunerchomai - > together <4897 - suneiserchomai - > .

: 33 And they drew <4264 - probibazo - > Alexander <0223 - Alexandros - > out of the multitude <3793 - ochlos - > , the Jews <2453 - Ioudaios - > putting <4261 - proballo - > him forward <4261 - proballo - > . And Alexander <0223 - Alexandros - > beckoned <2678 - kataseio - > with the hand <5495 - cheir - > , and would <2309 - thelo - > have made <0626 - apologeomai - > his defence <0626 - apologeomai - > unto the people <1218 - demos - > .

: 34 But when they knew <1921 - epiginosko - > that he was a Jew <2453 - Ioudaios - > , all <3956 - pas - > with one <3391 - mia - > voice <5456 - phone - > about <5613 - hos - > the space <1909 - epi - > of two <1417 - duo - > hours <5610 - hora - > cried <2896 - krazo - > out , Great <3173 - megas - > [ is ] Diana <0735 - Artemis - > of the Ephesians <2180 - Ephesios - > .

: 35 And when the townclerk <1122 - grammateus - > had appeased <2687 - katastello - > the people <3793 - ochlos - > , he said <5346 - phemi - > , [ Ye ] men <0435 - aner - > of Ephesus <2181 - Ephesos - > , what <5101 - tis - > man <0444 - anthropos - > is there that knoweth <1097 - ginosko - > not how that the city <4172 - polis - > of the Ephesians <2180 - Ephesios - > is a worshipper <3511 - neokoros - > of the great <3173 - megas - > goddess <2299 - thea - > Diana <0735 - Artemis - > , and of the [ image ] which fell <1356 - diopetes - > down from Jupiter <1356 - diopetes - > ?

: 36 Seeing then <3767 - oun - > that these <5130 - touton - > things cannot <0368 - anantirrhetos - > be spoken <0369 - anantirrhetos - > against <0368 - anantirrhetos - > , ye ought <1163 - dei - > to be quiet <2687 - katastello - > , and to do <4160 - poieo - > nothing <3367 - medeis - > rashly <4312 - propetes - > .

: 37 For ye have brought <0071 - ago - > hither these <5128 - toutous - > men <0435 - aner - > , which are neither <3777 - oute - > robbers <2417 - hierosulos - > of churches <2417 - hierosulos - > , nor <3777 - oute - > yet blasphemers <0987 - blasphemeo - > of your <5216 - humon - > goddess <2299 - thea - > .

: 38 Wherefore <3767 - oun - > if <1487 - ei - > Demetrius <1216 - Demetrios - > , and the craftsmen <5079 - technites - > which are with him , have <2192 - echo - > a matter <3056 - logos - > against <4314 - pros - > any <5100 - tis - > man , the law <0060 - agoraios - > is open <0071 - ago - > , and there are deputies <0446 - anthupatos - > : let them implead <1458 - egkaleo - > one <0240 - allelon - > another <0240 - allelon - > .

: 39 But if <1487 - ei - > ye enquire <1934 - epizeteo - > any <5100 - tis - > thing concerning <4012 - peri - > other <2087 - heteros - > matters , it shall be determined <1956 - epiluo - > in a lawful <1772 - ennomos - > assembly <1577 - ekklesia - > .

: 40 For we are in danger <2793 - kinduneuo - > to be called <1458 - egkaleo - > in question <1458 - egkaleo - > for this <4594 - semeron - > day s <4594 - semeron - > uproar <4714 - stasis - > , there being <5225 - huparcho - > no <3367 - medeis - > cause <0158 - aition - > whereby <3757 - hou - > we may <1410 - dunamai - > give <0591 - apodidomi - > an account <3056 - logos - > of this <5026 - taute - > concourse <4963 - sustrophe - > .

: 41 And when he had thus <5023 - tauta - > spoken <2036 - epo - > , he dismissed <0630 - apoluo - > the assembly <1577 - ekklesia - > .

: Acts 20

: 1 . And after <3326 - meta - > the uproar <2351 - thorubos - > was ceased <3973 - pauo - > , Paul <3972 - Paulos - > called <4341 - proskaleomai - > unto [ him ] the disciples <3101 - mathetes - > , and embraced <0782 - aspazomai - > [ them ] , and departed <1831 - exerchomai - > for to go <4198 - poreuomai - > into <1519 - eis - > Macedonia <3109 - Makedonia - > .

: 2 And when he had gone <1330 - dierchomai - > over <1330 - dierchomai - > those <1565 - ekeinos - > parts <3313 - meros - > , and had given them much <4183 - polus - > exhortation <3870 - parakaleo - > , he came <2064 - erchomai - > into <1519 - eis - > Greece <1671 - Hellas - > ,

: 3 And [ there ] abode <4160 - poieo - > three <5140 - treis - > months <3376 - men - > . And when the Jews <2453 - Ioudaios - > laid <1096 - ginomai - > wait <1917 - epiboule - > for him , as he was about <3195 - mello - > to sail <0321 - anago - > into <1519 - eis - > Syria <4947 - Suria - > , he purposed <1106 - gnome - > to return <5290 - hupostrepho - > through <1223 - dia - > Macedonia <3109 - Makedonia - > .

: 4 And there accompanied <4902 - sunepomai - > him into Asia <0773 - Asia - > Sopater <4986 - Sopatros - > of Berea <0960 - Beroia - > ; and of the Thessalonians <2331 - Thessalonikeus - > , Aristarchus <0708 - Aristarchos - > and Secundus <4580 - Sekoundos - > ; and Gaius <1050 - Gaios - > of Derbe <1191 - Derbe - > , and Timotheus <5095 - Timotheos - > ; and of Asia <0773 - Asia - > , Tychicus <5190 - Tuchikos - > and Trophimus <5161 - Trophimos - > .

: 6 And we sailed <1602 - ekpleo - > away <1602 - ekpleo - > from Philippi <5375 - Philippoi - > after <3326 - meta - > the days <2250 - hemera - > of unleavened <0106 - azumos - > bread , and came <2064 - erchomai - > unto them to Troas <5174 - Troas - > in five <4002 - pente - > days <2250 - hemera - > ; where <3757 - hou - > we abode <1304 - diatribo - > seven <2033 - hepta - > days <2250 - hemera - > .

: 7 . And upon the first <3391 - mia - > [ day ] of the week <4521 - sabbaton - > , when the disciples <3101 - mathetes - > came <4863 - sunago - > together <4863 - sunago - > to break <2806 - klao - > bread <0740 - artos - > , Paul <3972 - Paulos - > preached <1256 - dialegomai - > unto them , ready <3195 - mello - > to depart <1826 - exeimi - > on the morrow <1887 - epaurion - > ; and continued <3905 - parateino - > his speech <3056 - logos - > until <3360 - mechri - > midnight <3317 - mesonuktion - > .

: 8 And there were many <2425 - hikanos - > lights <2985 - lampas - > in the upper <5250 - huperpleonazo - > chamber <5253 - huperoion - > , where <3757 - hou - > they were gathered <4863 - sunago - > together <4863 - sunago - > .

: 9 And there sat <2521 - kathemai - > in a window <2376 - thuris - > a certain <5100 - tis - > young <3494 - neanias - > man <3494 - neanias - > named <3686 - onoma - > Eutychus <2161 - Eutuchos - > , being fallen <2702 - kataphero - > into a deep <0901 - bathus - > sleep <5258 - hupnos - > : and as Paul <3972 - Paulos - > was long <4119 - pleion - > preaching <1256 - dialegomai - > , he sunk <2702 - kataphero - > down <2736 - kato - > with sleep <5258 - hupnos - > , and fell <4098 - pipto - > down from the third <5152 - tristegon - > loft <5152 - tristegon - > , and was taken <0142 - airo - > up dead <3498 - nekros - > .

: 10 And Paul <3972 - Paulos - > went <2597 - katabaino - > down <2597 - katabaino - > , and fell <1968 - epipipto - > on <1968 - epipipto - > him , and embracing <4843 - sumperilambano - > [ him ] said <2036 - epo - > , Trouble <2350 - thorubeo - > not yourselves ; for his life <5590 - psuche - > is in him .

: 11 When he therefore <3767 - oun - > was come <0305 - anabaino - > up again , and had broken <2806 - klao - > bread <0740 - artos - > , and eaten <1089 - geuomai - > , and talked <3656 - homileo - > a long <2425 - hikanos - > while , even till <0891 - achri - > break <0827 - auge - > of day <0827 - auge - > , so <3779 - houto - > he departed <1831 - exerchomai - > .

And we went <4281 - proerchomai - > before <4281 - proerchomai - > to ship <4143 - ploion - > , and sailed <0321 - anago - > unto Assos <0789 - Assos - > , there <1564 - ekeithen - > intending <3195 - mello - > to take <0353 - analambano - > in Paul <3972 - Paulos - > : for so <3779 - houto - > had he appointed <1299 - diatasso - > , minding <3195 - mello - > himself <0846 - autos - > to go afoot <3978 - pezeuo - > .

And they accompanied <4311 - propempo - > him unto the ship <4143 - ploion - > .

: 1 . And it came <1096 - ginomai - > to pass , that after <5613 - hos - > we were gotten <0645 - apospao - > from them , and had launched <0321 - anago - > , we came <2064 - erchomai - > with a straight <2113 - euthudromeo - > course <4144 - ploos - > unto Coos <2972 - Kos - > , and the [ day ] following <1836 - hexes - > unto Rhodes <4499 - Rhodos - > , and from thence <1564 - ekeithen - > unto Patara <3959 - Patara - > :

: 5 And when <3753 - hote - > we had accomplished <1822 - exartizo - > those <3588 - ho - > days <2250 - hemera - > , we departed <1831 - exerchomai - > and went <4198 - poreuomai - > our way <4311 - propempo - > ; and they all <3956 - pas - > brought <4311 - propempo - > us on <1909 - epi - > our way <4311 - propempo - > , with wives <1135 - gune - > and children <5043 - teknon - > , till <2193 - heos - > [ we were ] out of the city <4172 - polis - > : and we kneeled <1119 - gonu - > down on <1909 - epi - > the shore <0123 - aigialos - > , and prayed <4336 - proseuchomai - > .

: 6 And when we had taken <0782 - aspazomai - > our leave <0782 - aspazomai - > one <0240 - allelon - > of another <0240 - allelon - > , we took <1519 - eis - > ship <4143 - ploion - > ; and they returned <5290 - hupostrepho - > home <2398 - idios - > again <5290 - hupostrepho - > .

: 7 And when we had finished <1274 - dianuo - > [ our ] course <4144 - ploos - > from Tyre <5184 - Turos - > , we came <2658 - katantao - > to Ptolemais <4424 - Ptolemais - > , and saluted <0782 - aspazomai - > the brethren <0080 - adephos - > , and abode <3306 - meno - > with them one <3391 - mia - > day <2250 - hemera - > .

: 8 . And the next <1887 - epaurion - > [ day ] we that were of Paul s <3972 - Paulos - > company <4012 - peri - > departed <1831 - exerchomai - > , and came <2064 - erchomai - > unto Caesarea <2542 - Kaisereia - > : and we entered <1525 - eiserchomai - > into <1519 - eis - > the house <3624 - oikos - > of Philip <5376 - Philippos - > the evangelist <2099 - euaggelistes - > , which was [ one ] of the seven <2033 - hepta - > ; and abode <3306 - meno - > with him .

: 12 . Whereupon <3739 - hos - > as I went <4198 - poreuomai - > to Damascus <1154 - Damaskos - > with authority <1849 - exousia - > and commission <2011 - epitrope - > from the chief <0749 - archiereus - > priests <0749 - archiereus - > ,

: 13 At midday <3319 - mesos - > , O king <0935 - basileus - > , I saw <1492 - eido - > in the way <3598 - hodos - > a light <5457 - phos - > from heaven <3771 - ouranothen - > , above <5228 - huper - > the brightness <2987 - lamprotes - > of the sun <2246 - helios - > , shining <4034 - perilampo - > round <4034 - perilampo - > about <4034 - perilampo - > me and them which journeyed <4198 - poreuomai - > with me .

: 14 And when we were all <3956 - pas - > fallen <2667 - katapipto - > to the earth <1093 - ge - > , I heard <0191 - akouo - > a voice <5456 - phone - > speaking <2980 - laleo - > unto me , and saying <3004 - lego - > in the Hebrew <1446 - Hebrais - > tongue <1258 - dialektos - > , Saul <4569 - Saulos - > , Saul <4569 - Saulos - > , why <5101 - tis - > persecutest <1377 - dioko - > thou me ? [ it is ] hard <4642 - skleros - > for thee to kick <2979 - laktizo - > against <4314 - pros - > the pricks <2759 - kentron - > .

: 15 And I said <2036 - epo - > , Who <5101 - tis - > art <1488 - ei - > thou , Lord <2962 - kurios - > ? And he said <2036 - epo - > , I am <1510 - eimi - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > whom <3739 - hos - > thou persecutest <1377 - dioko - > .

: 16 But rise <0450 - anistemi - > , and stand <2476 - histemi - > upon thy feet <4228 - pous - > : for I have appeared <3700 - optanomai - > unto thee for this <5124 - touto - > purpose , to make <4400 - procheirizomai - > thee a minister <5257 - huperetes - > and a witness <3144 - martus - > both <5037 - te - > of these things which <3739 - hos - > thou hast seen <1492 - eido - > , and of those things in the which <3739 - hos - > I will appear <3700 - optanomai - > unto thee ;

: 17 Delivering <1807 - exaireo - > thee from the people <2992 - laos - > , and [ from ] the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > , unto whom <3739 - hos - > now <3568 - nun - > I send <0649 - apostello - > thee ,

: 18 To open <0455 - anoigo - > their eyes <3788 - ophthalmos - > , [ and ] to turn <1994 - epistrepho - > [ them ] from darkness <4655 - skotos - > to light <5457 - phos - > , and [ from ] the power <1849 - exousia - > of Satan <4567 - Satanas - > unto God <2316 - theos - > , that they may receive <2983 - lambano - > forgiveness <0859 - aphesis - > of sins <0266 - hamartia - > , and inheritance <2819 - kleros - > among <1722 - en - > them which are sanctified <0037 - hagiazo - > by faith <4102 - pistis - > that is in me .

: 19 Whereupon <3606 - hothen - > , O king <0935 - basileus - > Agrippa <0067 - Agrippas - > , I was not disobedient <0545 - apeithes - > unto the heavenly <3770 - ouranios - > vision <3705 - horama - > :

: 20 But shewed <0518 - apaggello - > first <4412 - proton - > unto them of Damascus <1154 - Damaskos - > , and at Jerusalem <2414 - Hierosoluma - > , and throughout <1519 - eis - > all <3956 - pas - > the coasts <5561 - chora - > of Judaea <2449 - Ioudaia - > , and [ then ] to the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > , that they should repent <3340 - metanoeo - > and turn <1994 - epistrepho - > to God <2316 - theos - > , and do <4238 - prasso - > works <2041 - ergon - > meet <0514 - axios - > for repentance <3341 - metanoia - > .

: 21 For these <5130 - touton - > causes <1752 - heneka - > the Jews <2453 - Ioudaios - > caught <4815 - sullambano - > me in the temple <2411 - hieron - > , and went <3987 - peirao - > about <3985 - peirazo - > to kill <1315 - diacheirizomai - > [ me ] .

: 22 Having therefore <3767 - oun - > obtained <5177 - tugchano - > help <1947 - epikouria - > of God <2316 - theos - > , I continue <2476 - histemi - > unto this <5026 - taute - > day <2250 - hemera - > , witnessing <3140 - martureo - > both <5037 - te - > to small <3398 - mikros - > and great <3173 - megas - > , saying <3004 - lego - > none <3762 - oudeis - > other <1622 - ektos - > things than those which <3739 - hos - > the prophets <4396 - prophetes - > and Moses <3475 - Moseus - > did say <2980 - laleo - > should <3195 - mello - > come <1096 - ginomai - > :

: 23 That Christ <5547 - Christos - > should suffer <3805 - pathetos - > , [ and ] that he should be the first <4413 - protos - > that should <3195 - mello - > rise <0386 - anastasis - > from the dead <3498 - nekros - > , and should shew <2605 - kataggello - > light <5457 - phos - > unto the people <2992 - laos - > , and to the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > .

: 24 . And as he thus <5023 - tauta - > spake <0626 - apologeomai - > for himself , Festus <5347 - Phestos - > said <5346 - phemi - > with a loud <3173 - megas - > voice <5456 - phone - > , Paul <3972 - Paulos - > , thou art beside <3105 - mainomai - > thyself ; much <4183 - polus - > learning <1121 - gramma - > doth make <4062 - peritrepo - > thee mad <3130 - mania - > .

: 25 But he said <5346 - phemi - > , I am not mad <3105 - mainomai - > , most <2903 - kratistos - > noble <2903 - kratistos - > Festus <5347 - Phestos - > ; but speak <0669 - apophtheggomai - > forth <0669 - apophtheggomai - > the words <4487 - rhema - > of truth <0225 - aletheia - > and soberness <4997 - sophrosune - > .

: 26 For the king <0935 - basileus - > knoweth <1987 - epistamai - > of these <5130 - touton - > things , before <4314 - pros - > whom <3739 - hos - > also <2532 - kai - > I speak <2980 - laleo - > freely <3955 - parrhesiazomai - > : for I am persuaded <3982 - peitho - > that none <3762 - oudeis - > of these <5130 - touton - > things are hidden <2990 - lanthano - > from him ; for this <5124 - touto - > thing was not done <4238 - prasso - > in a corner <1137 - gonia - > .

: 27 King <0935 - basileus - > Agrippa <0067 - Agrippas - > , believest <4100 - pisteuo - > thou the prophets <4396 - prophetes - > ? I know <1492 - eido - > that thou believest <4100 - pisteuo - > .

: 28 Then <1161 - de - > Agrippa <0067 - Agrippas - > said <5346 - phemi - > unto Paul <3972 - Paulos - > , Almost <3641 - oligos - > thou persuadest <3982 - peitho - > me to be a Christian <5546 - Christianos - > .

: 29 And Paul <3972 - Paulos - > said <2036 - epo - > , I would <2172 - euchomai - > to God <2316 - theos - > , that not only <3440 - monon - > thou , but also <2532 - kai - > all <3956 - pas - > that hear <0191 - akouo - > me this <4594 - semeron - > day <4594 - semeron - > , were both <2532 - kai - > almost <3641 - oligos - > , and altogether <4183 - polus - > such <5108 - toioutos - > as I am <1510 - eimi - > , except <3923 - pareisphero - > these <5130 - touton - > bonds <1199 - desmon - > .

: 30 And when he had thus <5023 - tauta - > spoken <2036 - epo - > , the king <0935 - basileus - > rose <0450 - anistemi - > up , and the governor <2232 - hegemon - > , and Bernice <0959 - Bernike - > , and they that sat <4775 - sugkathemai - > with them :

: 31 And when they were gone <0402 - anachoreo - > aside <0402 - anachoreo - > , they talked <2980 - laleo - > between <4314 - pros - > themselves <0240 - allelon - > , saying <3004 - lego - > , This <3778 - houtos - > man <0444 - anthropos - > doeth <4238 - prasso - > nothing <3762 - oudeis - > worthy <0514 - axios - > of death <2288 - thanatos - > or <2228 - e - > of bonds <1199 - desmon - > .

: 32 Then <1161 - de - > said <5346 - phemi - > Agrippa <0067 - Agrippas - > unto Festus <5347 - Phestos - > , This <3778 - houtos - > man <0444 - anthropos - > might <1410 - dunamai - > have been <1096 - ginomai - > set <0630 - apoluo - > at <0630 - apoluo - > liberty <0630 - apoluo - > , if <1487 - ei - > he had not appealed <1941 - epikaleomai - > unto Caesar <2541 - Kaisar - > .

: Acts 27

: 1 . And when <5613 - hos - > it was determined <2919 - krino - > that we should sail <0636 - apopleo - > into <1519 - eis - > Italy <2482 - Italia - > , they delivered <3860 - paradidomi - > Paul <3972 - Paulos - > and certain <5100 - tis - > other <2087 - heteros - > prisoners <1202 - desmotes - > unto [ one ] named <3686 - onoma - > Julius <2457 - Ioulios - > , a centurion <1543 - hekatontarches - > of Augustus <0828 - Augoustos - > band <4686 - speira - > .

: 2 And entering <1910 - epibaino - > into a ship <4143 - ploion - > of Adramyttium <0098 - Adramuttenos - > , we launched <0321 - anago - > , meaning <3195 - mello - > to sail <4126 - pleo - > by the coasts <5117 - topos - > of Asia <0773 - Asia - > ; [ one ] Aristarchus <0708 - Aristarchos - > , a Macedonian <3110 - Makedon - > of Thessalonica <2331 - Thessalonikeus - > , being <5607 - on - > with us .

: 3 And the next <2087 - heteros - > [ day ] we touched <2609 - katago - > at <1519 - eis - > Sidon <4605 - Sidon - > . And Julius <2457 - Ioulios - > courteously <5364 - philanthropos - > entreated <5530 - chraomai - > Paul <3972 - Paulos - > , and gave <2010 - epitrepo - > [ him ] liberty <2010 - epitrepo - > to go <4198 - poreuomai - > unto his friends <5384 - philos - > to refresh <5177 - tugchano - > himself .

: 4 And when we had launched <0321 - anago - > from thence <1564 - ekeithen - > , we sailed <5284 - hupopleo - > under <5284 - hupopleo - > Cyprus <2954 - Kupros - > , because <1223 - dia - > the winds <0417 - anemos - > were contrary <1727 - enantios - > .

: 5 And when we had sailed <1277 - diapleo - > over <1277 - diapleo - > the sea <3989 - pelagos - > of Cilicia <2791 - Kilikia - > and Pamphylia <3828 - Pamphulia - > , we came <2718 - katerchomai - > to Myra <3460 - Mura - > , [ a city ] of Lycia <3073 - Lukia - > .

: 6 And there <1563 - ekei - > the centurion <1543 - hekatontarches - > found <2147 - heurisko - > a ship <4143 - ploion - > of Alexandria <0221 - Alexandreus - > sailing <4126 - pleo - > into <1519 - eis - > Italy <2482 - Italia - > ; and he put <1688 - embibazo - > us therein .

: 7 And when we had sailed <1020 - braduploeo - > slowly <1020 - braduploeo - > many <2425 - hikanos - > days <2250 - hemera - > , and scarce <3433 - molis - > were come <1096 - ginomai - > over <2596 - kata - > against <2596 - kata - > Cnidus <2834 - Knidos - > , the wind <0417 - anemos - > not suffering <4330 - proseao - > us , we sailed <5284 - hupopleo - > under <5284 - hupopleo - > Crete <2914 - Krete - > , over <2596 - kata - > against <2596 - kata - > Salmone <4534 - Salmone - > ;

: 8 And , hardly <3433 - molis - > passing <3881 - paralegomai - > it , came <2064 - erchomai - > unto a place <5117 - topos - > which is called <2564 - kaleo - > The fair <2568 - Kaloi Limenes - > havens <2568 - Kaloi Limenes - > ; nigh <1451 - eggus - > whereunto <3739 - hos - > was the city <4172 - polis - > [ of ] Lasea <2996 - Lasaia - > .

: 9 Now <1161 - de - > when much <2425 - hikanos - > time <5550 - chronos - > was spent <1230 - diaginomai - > , and when sailing <4144 - ploos - > was now <2235 - ede - > dangerous <2000 - episphales - > , because <1223 - dia - > the fast <3521 - nesteia - > was now <2235 - ede - > already <2235 - ede - > past <3928 - parerchomai - > , Paul <3972 - Paulos - > admonished <3867 - paraineo - > [ them ] ,

: 10 And said <3004 - lego - > unto them , Sirs <0435 - aner - > , I perceive <2334 - theoreo - > that this <3588 - ho - > voyage <4144 - ploos - > will <3195 - mello - > be with hurt <5196 - hubris - > and much <4183 - polus - > damage <2209 - zemia - > , not only <3440 - monon - > of the lading <5414 - phortos - > and ship <4143 - ploion - > , but also <2532 - kai - > of our lives <5590 - psuche - > .

: 11 Nevertheless <1161 - de - > the centurion <1543 - hekatontarches - > believed <3982 - peitho - > the master <2942 - kubernetes - > and the owner <3490 - naukleros - > of the ship <3490 - naukleros - > , more <3123 - mallon - > than <2228 - e - > those <3588 - ho - > things which were spoken <3004 - lego - > by Paul <3972 - Paulos - > .

: 12 . And because the haven <3040 - limen - > was not commodious <0428 - aneuthetos - > to winter <3915 - paracheimasia - > in , the more <4119 - pleion - > part advised <5087 - tithemi - > to depart <0321 - anago - > thence <1564 - ekeithen - > also <2547 - kakeithen - > , if <1513 - ei pos - > by any <4458 - - pos - > means <4458 - - pos - > they might <1410 - dunamai - > attain <2658 - katantao - > to Phenice <5405 - Phoinix - > , [ and there ] to winter <3914 - paracheimazo - > ; [ which is ] an haven <3040 - limen - > of Crete <2914 - Krete - > , and lieth <0991 - blepo - > toward <2596 - kata - > the south <3047 - lips - > west <3047 - lips - > and north <5566 - choros - > west <5566 - choros - > .

: 13 And when the south <3558 - notos - > wind blew <5285 - hupopneo - > softly <5285 - hupopneo - > , supposing <1380 - dokeo - > that they had obtained <2902 - krateo - > [ their ] purpose <4286 - prothesis - > , loosing <0142 - airo - > [ thence ] , they sailed <3881 - paralegomai - > close <0788 - asson - > by Crete <2914 - Krete - > .

: 14 But not long <4183 - polus - > after there arose <0906 - ballo - > against <2596 - kata - > it a tempestuous <5189 - tuphonikos - > wind <0417 - anemos - > , called <2564 - kaleo - > Euroclydon <2148 - Eurokludon - > .

: 15 And when the ship <4143 - ploion - > was caught <4884 - sunarpazo - > , and could <1410 - dunamai - > not bear <0503 - antophthalmeo - > up into the wind <0417 - anemos - > , we let <1929 - epididomi - > [ her ] drive <1929 - epididomi - > .

: 16 And running <5295 - hupotrecho - > under <5295 - hupotrecho - > a certain <5100 - tis - > island <3519 - nesion - > which is called <2564 - kaleo - > Clauda <2802 - Klaude - > , we had much <3433 - molis - > work <2480 - ischuo - > to come <1096 - ginomai - > by the boat <4627 - skaphe - > :

: 17 Which <3739 - hos - > when they had taken <0142 - airo - > up , they used <5530 - chraomai - > helps <0996 - boetheia - > , undergirding <5269 - hupozonnumi - > the ship <4143 - ploion - > ; and , fearing <5399 - phobeo - > lest <3361 - me - > they should fall <1601 - ekpipto - > into <1519 - eis - > the quicksands <4950 - surtis - > , strake <5465 - chalao - > sail <4632 - skeuos - > , and so <3779 - houto - > were driven <5342 - phero - > .

: 18 And we being exceedingly <4971 - sphodros - > tossed <5492 - cheimazo - > with a tempest <5492 - cheimazo - > , the next <1836 - hexes - > [ day ] they lightened <1546 - ekbloe - > the ship ;

: 19 And the third <5154 - tritos - > [ day ] we cast <4496 - rhipto - > out with our own <0849 - autocheir - > hands <0849 - autocheir - > the tackling <4631 - skeue - > of the ship <4143 - ploion - > .

: 20 And when neither <3383 - mete - > sun <2246 - helios - > nor <3383 - mete - > stars <0798 - astron - > in many <4119 - pleion - > days <2250 - hemera - > appeared <2014 - epiphaino - > , and no <3756 - ou - > small <3641 - oligos - > tempest <5494 - cheimon - > lay <1945 - epikeimai - > on <1945 - epikeimai - > [ us ] , all <3956 - pas - > hope <1680 - elpis - > that we should be saved <4982 - sozo - > was then <3063 - loipon - > taken <4014 - periaireo - > away <4014 - periaireo - > .

: 21 . But after <5225 - huparcho - > long <4183 - polus - > abstinence <0776 - asitia - > Paul <3972 - Paulos - > stood <2476 - histemi - > forth in the midst <3319 - mesos - > of them , and said <2036 - epo - > , Sirs <0435 - aner - > , ye should <1163 - dei - > have hearkened <3980 - peitharcheo - > unto me , and not have loosed <0321 - anago - > from Crete <2914 - Krete - > , and to have gained <2770 - kerdaino - > this <5026 - taute - > harm <5196 - hubris - > and loss <2209 - zemia - > .

: 22 And now <3568 - nun - > I exhort <3867 - paraineo - > you to be of good cheer <2114 - euthumeo - > : for there shall be no <3762 - oudeis - > loss <0580 - apobole - > of [ any <3762 - oudeis - > man s ] life <5590 - psuche - > among <1537 - ek - > you , but of the ship <4143 - ploion - > .

: 23 For there stood <3936 - paristemi - > by me this <5026 - taute - > night <3571 - nux - > the angel <0032 - aggelos - > of God <2316 - theos - > , whose <3739 - hos - > I am <1510 - eimi - > , and whom <3739 - hos - > I serve <3000 - latreuo - > ,

: 24 Saying <3004 - lego - > , Fear <5399 - phobeo - > not , Paul <3972 - Paulos - > ; thou must <1163 - dei - > be brought <3936 - paristemi - > before <3936 - paristemi - > Caesar <2541 - Kaisar - > : and , lo <2400 - idou - > , God <2316 - theos - > hath given <5483 - charizomai - > thee all <3956 - pas - > them that sail <4126 - pleo - > with thee .

: 25 Wherefore <1352 - dio - > , sirs <0435 - aner - > , be of good cheer <2114 - euthumeo - > : for I believe <4100 - pisteuo - > God <2316 - theos - > , that it shall be even <3779 - houto - > as it was told <2980 - laleo - > me .

: 26 Howbeit we must <1163 - dei - > be cast <1601 - ekpipto - > upon a certain <5100 - tis - > island <3520 - nesos - > .

: 27 But when <5613 - hos - > the fourteenth <5065 - tessareskaidekatos - > night <3571 - nux - > was come <1096 - ginomai - > , as we were driven <1308 - diaphero - > up and down <1308 - diaphero - > in Adria <0099 - Adrias - > , about <2596 - kata - > midnight <3571 - nux - > the shipmen <3492 - nautes - > deemed <5282 - huponoeo - > that they drew <4317 - prosago - > near <4317 - prosago - > to some <5100 - tis - > country <5561 - chora - > ;

: 28 And sounded <1001 - bolizo - > , and found <2147 - heurisko - > [ it ] twenty <1501 - eikosi - > fathoms <3712 - orguia - > : and when they had gone <1339 - diistemi - > a little <1024 - brachus - > further <1339 - diistemi - > , they sounded <1001 - bolizo - > again <3825 - palin - > , and found <2147 - heurisko - > [ it ] fifteen <1178 - dekapente - > fathoms <3712 - orguia - > .

: 29 Then <5037 - te - > fearing <5399 - phobeo - > lest <3381 - mepos - > we should have fallen <1601 - ekpipto - > upon rocks <5117 - topos - > , they cast <4496 - rhipto - > four <5064 - tessares - > anchors <0045 - agkura - > out of the stern <4403 - prumna - > , and wished <2172 - euchomai - > for the day <2250 - hemera - > .

: 30 And as the shipmen <3492 - nautes - > were about <2212 - zeteo - > to flee <5343 - pheugo - > out of the ship <4143 - ploion - > , when they had let <5465 - chalao - > down <5465 - chalao - > the boat <4627 - skaphe - > into <1519 - eis - > the sea <2281 - thalassa - > , under colour <4392 - prophasis - > as though they would <3195 - mello - > have cast <1614 - ekteino - > anchors out of the foreship <4408 - prora - > ,

: 31 Paul <3972 - Paulos - > said <2036 - epo - > to the centurion <1543 - hekatontarches - > and to the soldiers <4757 - stratiotes - > , Except <3362 - ean me - > these <3778 - houtos - > abide <3306 - meno - > in the ship <4143 - ploion - > , ye cannot <1410 - dunamai - > be saved <4982 - sozo - > .

: 32 Then <5119 - tote - > the soldiers <4757 - stratiotes - > cut <0609 - apokopto - > off <0609 - apokopto - > the ropes <4979 - schoinion - > of the boat <4627 - skaphe - > , and let <1439 - eao - > her fall <1601 - ekpipto - > off <1601 - ekpipto - > .

: 33 And while <3739 - hos - > the day <2250 - hemera - > was coming <1096 - ginomai - > on , Paul <3972 - Paulos - > besought <3870 - parakaleo - > [ them ] all <0537 - hapas - > to take <3335 - metalambano - > meat <5160 - trophe - > , saying <3004 - lego - > , This <4594 - semeron - > day <4594 - semeron - > is the fourteenth <5065 - tessareskaidekatos - > day <2250 - hemera - > that ye have tarried <4328 - prosdokao - > and continued <1300 - diateleo - > fasting <0777 - asitos - > , having taken <4355 - proslambano - > nothing <3367 - medeis - > .

: 34 Wherefore <1352 - dio - > I pray <3870 - parakaleo - > you to take <4355 - proslambano - > [ some ] meat <5160 - trophe - > : for this <5124 - touto - > is for your <5212 - humeteros - > health <4991 - soteria - > : for there shall not an hair <2359 - thrix - > fall <4098 - pipto - > from the head <2776 - kephale - > of any <3762 - oudeis - > of you .

: 35 And when he had thus <5023 - tauta - > spoken <2036 - epo - > , he took <2983 - lambano - > bread <0740 - artos - > , and gave thanks <2168 - eucharisteo - > to God <2316 - theos - > in presence <1799 - enopion - > of them all <3956 - pas - > : and when he had broken <2806 - klao - > [ it ] , he began <0756 - archomai - > to eat <2068 - esthio - > .

: 36 Then <1161 - de - > were they all <3956 - pas - > of good cheer <2114 - euthumeo - > , and they also <2532 - kai - > took <4355 - proslambano - > [ some ] meat <5160 - trophe - > .

: 37 And we were in all <3956 - pas - > in the ship <4143 - ploion - > two <1250 - diakosioi - > hundred <1250 - diakosioi - > threescore <1440 - hebdomekonta - > and sixteen <1803 - hex - > souls <5590 - psuche - > .

: 38 And when they had eaten <2880 - korennumi - > enough <2880 - korennumi - > , they lightened <2893 - kouphizo - > the ship <4143 - ploion - > , and cast <1544 - ekballo - > out the wheat <4621 - sitos - > into <1519 - eis - > the sea <2281 - thalassa - > .

: 39 And when <3753 - hote - > it was day <2250 - hemera - > , they knew <1921 - epiginosko - > not the land <1093 - ge - > : but they discovered <2657 - katanoeo - > a certain <5100 - tis - > creek <2859 - kolpos - > with a shore <0123 - aigialos - > , into <1519 - eis - > the which <3739 - hos - > they were minded <1014 - boo - lom - ahee - > , if <1487 - ei - > it were possible <1410 - dunamai - > , to thrust <1856 - exotheo - > in the ship <4143 - ploion - > .

: 40 And when they had taken <4014 - periaireo - > up the anchors <0045 - agkura - > , they committed <1439 - eao - > [ themselves ] unto the sea <2281 - thalassa - > , and loosed <0447 - aniemi - > the rudder <4079 - pedalion - > bands <2202 - zeukteria - > , and hoised <1869 - epairo - > up the mainsail <0736 - artemon - > to the wind <4154 - pneo - > , and made <2722 - katecho - > toward <1519 - eis - > shore <0123 - aigialos - > .

: 41 And falling <4045 - peripipto - > into <1519 - eis - > a place <5117 - topos - > where <1337 - dithalassos - > two <1337 - dithalassos - > seas <1337 - dithalassos - > met , they ran <2027 - epokello - > the ship <3491 - naus - > aground <2027 - epokello - > ; and the forepart <4408 - prora - > stuck <2043 - ereido - > fast , and remained <3306 - meno - > unmoveable <0761 - asaleutos - > , but the hinder <4403 - prumna - > part <4403 - prumna - > was broken <3089 - luo - > with the violence <0970 - bia - > of the waves <2949 - kuma - > .

: 42 And the soldiers <4757 - stratiotes - > counsel <1012 - boule - > was to kill <0615 - apokteino - > the prisoners <1202 - desmotes - > , lest <3361 - me - > any <5100 - tis - > of them should swim <1579 - ekkolumbao - > out , and escape <1309 - diapheugo - > .

: 43 But the centurion <1543 - hekatontarches - > , willing <1014 - boo - lom - ahee - > to save <1295 - diasozo - > Paul <3972 - Paulos - > , kept <2967 - koluo - > them from [ their ] purpose <1013 - boulema - > ; and commanded <2753 - keleuo - > that they which could <1410 - dunamai - > swim <2860 - kolumbao - > should cast <0641 - aporrhipto - > [ themselves ] first <4413 - protos - > [ into the sea ] , and get <1826 - exeimi - > to land <1093 - ge - > :

: 44 And the rest <3062 - loipoy - > , some <3588 - ho - > on <1909 - epi - > boards <4548 - sanis - > , and some <1161 - de - > on <1909 - epi - > [ broken pieces ] of the ship <4493 - rhipe - > . And so <3779 - houto - > it came <1096 - ginomai - > to pass , that they escaped <1295 - diasozo - > all <3956 - pas - > safe <1295 - diasozo - > to land <1093 - ge - > .

: Acts 28

: 1 . And when they were escaped <1295 - diasozo - > , then <5119 - tote - > they knew <1921 - epiginosko - > that the island <3520 - nesos - > was called <2564 - kaleo - > Melita <3194 - Melite - > .

: 2 And the barbarous <0915 - barbaros - > people shewed <3930 - parecho - > us no <3756 - ou - > little <5177 - tugchano - > kindness <5363 - philanthropia - > : for they kindled <0381 - anapto - > a fire <4443 - pura - > , and received <4355 - proslambano - > us every <3956 - pas - > one , because <1223 - dia - > of the present <2186 - ephistemi - > rain <5205 - huetos - > , and because <1223 - dia - > of the cold <5592 - psuchos - > .

: 3 And when Paul <3972 - Paulos - > had gathered <4962 - sustrepho - > a bundle <4128 - plethos - > of sticks <5434 - phruganon - > , and laid <2007 - epitithemi - > [ them ] on <1909 - epi - > the fire <4443 - pura - > , there came <1831 - exerchomai - > a viper <2191 - echidna - > out of the heat <2329 - therme - > , and fastened <2510 - kathapto - > on <2510 - kathapto - > his hand <5495 - cheir - > .

: 4 And when <5613 - hos - > the barbarians <0915 - barbaros - > saw <1492 - eido - > the [ venomous ] beast <2342 - therion - > hang <2910 - kremannumi - > on <1537 - ek - > his hand <5495 - cheir - > , they said <3004 - lego - > among <4314 - pros - > themselves <0846 - autos - > , No doubt <3843 - pantos - > this <3778 - houtos - > man <0444 - anthropos - > is a murderer <5406 - phoneus - > , whom <3739 - hos - > , though he hath escaped <1295 - diasozo - > the sea <2281 - thalassa - > , yet vengeance <1349 - dike - > suffereth <1439 - eao - > not to live <2198 - zao - > .

: 5 And he shook <0660 - apotinasso - > off <0660 - apotinasso - > the beast <2342 - therion - > into <1519 - eis - > the fire <4442 - pur - > , and felt <3958 - pascho - > no <3762 - oudeis - > harm <2556 - kakos - > .

: 6 Howbeit they looked <4328 - prosdokao - > when he should <3195 - mello - > have swollen <4092 - pimpremi - > , or <2228 - e - > fallen <2667 - katapipto - > down <2667 - katapipto - > dead <3498 - nekros - > suddenly <0869 - aphno - > : but after they had looked <4328 - prosdokao - > a great <4183 - polus - > while , and saw <2334 - theoreo - > no <3367 - medeis - > harm <0824 - atopos - > come <1096 - ginomai - > to him , they changed <3328 - metaballo - > their minds , and said <3004 - lego - > that he was a god <2316 - theos - > .

: 7 In the same <1565 - ekeinos - > quarters <5117 - topos - > were possessions <5564 - chorion - > of the chief <4413 - protos - > man of the island <3520 - nesos - > , whose name <3686 - onoma - > was Publius <4196 - Poplios - > ; who <3739 - hos - > received <0324 - anadechomai - > us , and lodged <3579 - xenizo - > us three <5140 - treis - > days <2250 - hemera - > courteously <5390 - philophronos - > .

: 8 And it came <1096 - ginomai - > to pass , that the father <3962 - pater - > of Publius <4196 - Poplios - > lay <2621 - katakeimai - > sick of a fever <4446 - puretos - > and of a bloody <1420 - dusenteria - > flux <1420 - dusenteria - > : to whom <3739 - hos - > Paul <3972 - Paulos - > entered <1525 - eiserchomai - > in , and prayed <4336 - proseuchomai - > , and laid <2007 - epitithemi - > his hands <5495 - cheir - > on <2007 - epitithemi - > him , and healed <2390 - iaomai - > him .

: 9 So <3767 - oun - > when this <5127 - toutou - > was done <1096 - ginomai - > , others <3062 - loipoy - > also <2532 - kai - > , which <3588 - ho - > had <2192 - echo - > diseases <0769 - astheneia - > in the island <3520 - nesos - > , came <4334 - proserchomai - > , and were healed <2323 - therapeuo - > :

: 10 Who <3739 - hos - > also <2532 - kai - > honoured <5092 - time - > us with many <4183 - polus - > honours <5091 - timao - > ; and when we departed <0321 - anago - > , they laded <2007 - epitithemi - > [ us ] with such things as were necessary <5532 - chreia - > .

: 11 . And after <3326 - meta - > three <5140 - treis - > months <3376 - men - > we departed <0321 - anago - > in a ship <4493 - rhipe - > of Alexandria <0221 - Alexandreus - > , which had wintered <3916 - parachrema - > in the isle <3520 - nesos - > , whose sign <3902 - parasemos - > was Castor <1359 - Dioskouroi - > and Pollux <1359 - Dioskouroi - > .

: 12 And landing <2609 - katago - > at <1519 - eis - > Syracuse <4946 - Surakousai - > , we tarried <1961 - epimeno - > [ there ] three <5140 - treis - > days <2250 - hemera - > .

: 13 And from thence <3606 - hothen - > we fetched a compass <4022 - perierchomai - > , and came <2658 - katantao - > to Rhegium <4484 - Rhegion - > : and after <3326 - meta - > one <3391 - mia - > day <2250 - hemera - > the south <3558 - notos - > wind blew <1920 - epiginomai - > , and we came <2064 - erchomai - > the next <1206 - deuteraios - > day to Puteoli <4223 - Potioloi - > :

: 14 Where <3757 - hou - > we found <2147 - heurisko - > brethren <0080 - adephos - > , and were desired <3870 - parakaleo - > to tarry <1961 - epimeno - > with them seven <2033 - hepta - > days <2250 - hemera - > : and so <3779 - houto - > we went <2064 - erchomai - > toward <1519 - eis - > Rome <4516 - Rhome - > .

: 15 And from thence <1564 - ekeithen - > , when the brethren <0080 - adephos - > heard <0191 - akouo - > of us , they came <1831 - exerchomai - > to meet <0529 - apantesis - > us as far <0891 - achri - > as Appii <0675 - >Appios - > forum <5410 - Phoron - > , and The three <5140 - treis - > taverns <4999 - Tabernai - > : whom <3739 - hos - > when Paul <3972 - Paulos - > saw <1492 - eido - > , he thanked <2168 - eucharisteo - > God <2316 - theos - > , and took <2983 - lambano - > courage <2294 - tharsos - > .

: 16 And when <3753 - hote - > we came <2064 - erchomai - > to Rome <4516 - Rhome - > , the centurion <1543 - hekatontarches - > delivered <3860 - paradidomi - > the prisoners <1198 - desmios - > to the captain <4759 - stratopedarches - > of the guard <4759 - stratopedarches - > : but Paul <3972 - Paulos - > was suffered <2010 - epitrepo - > to dwell <3306 - meno - > by himself <1438 - heautou - > with a soldier <4757 - stratiotes - > that kept <5442 - phulasso - > him .

: 17 . And it came <1096 - ginomai - > to pass , that after <3326 - meta - > three <5140 - treis - > days <2250 - hemera - > Paul <3972 - Paulos - > called <4779 - sugkaleo - > the chief <4413 - protos - > of the Jews <2453 - Ioudaios - > together <4779 - sugkaleo - > : and when they were come <4905 - sunerchomai - > together <4905 - sunerchomai - > , he said <3004 - lego - > unto them , Men <0435 - aner - > [ and ] brethren <0080 - adephos - > , though I have committed <4160 - poieo - > nothing <3762 - oudeis - > against <1727 - enantios - > the people <2992 - laos - > , or <2228 - e - > customs <1485 - ethos - > of our fathers <3971 - patroios - > , yet was I delivered <3860 - paradidomi - > prisoner <1198 - desmios - > from Jerusalem <2414 - Hierosoluma - > into <1519 - eis - > the hands <5495 - cheir - > of the Romans <4514 - Rhomaios - > .

: 18 Who <3748 - hostis - > , when they had examined <0350 - anakrino - > me , would have let <0630 - apoluo - > [ me ] go <0630 - apoluo - > , because <1223 - dia - > there was no <3367 - medeis - > cause <0156 - aitia - > of death <2288 - thanatos - > in me .

: 19 But when the Jews <2453 - Ioudaios - > spake <0483 - antilego - > against <0483 - antilego - > [ it ] , I was constrained <0315 - anagkazo - > to appeal <1941 - epikaleomai - > unto Caesar <2541 - Kaisar - > ; not that I had <2192 - echo - > ought <5100 - tis - > to accuse <2723 - kategoreo - > my nation <1484 - ethnos - > of .

: 20 For this <5026 - taute - > cause <0156 - aitia - > therefore <3767 - oun - > have I called <3870 - parakaleo - > for you , to see <1492 - eido - > [ you ] , and to speak <4354 - proslaleo - > with [ you ] : because <1063 - gar - > that for the hope <1680 - elpis - > of Israel <2474 - Israel - > I am bound <4029 - perikeimai - > with this <5026 - taute - > chain <0254 - halusis - > .

: 21 And they said <2036 - epo - > unto him , We neither <3777 - oute - > received <1209 - dechomai - > letters <1121 - gramma - > out of Judaea <2449 - Ioudaia - > concerning <4012 - peri - > thee , neither <3777 - oute - > any <5100 - tis - > of the brethren <0080 - adephos - > that came <3854 - paraginomai - > shewed <0518 - apaggello - > or <2228 - e - > spake <2980 - laleo - > any <5100 - tis - > harm <4190 - poneros - > of thee .

: 22 But we desire <0515 - axioo - > to hear <0191 - akouo - > of thee what <3739 - hos - > thou thinkest <5426 - phroneo - > : for as concerning <4012 - peri - > this <5026 - taute - > sect <0139 - hairesis - > , we know <1110 - gnostos - > that every <3837 - pantachou - > where <3837 - pantachou - > it is spoken <0483 - antilego - > against <0483 - antilego - > .

: 23 . And when they had appointed <5021 - tasso - > him a day <2250 - hemera - > , there came <2240 - heko - > many <4119 - pleion - > to him into <1519 - eis - > [ his ] lodging <3578 - xenia - > ; to whom <3739 - hos - > he expounded <1620 - ektithemi - > and testified <1263 - diamarturomai - > the kingdom <0932 - basileia - > of God <2316 - theos - > , persuading <3982 - peitho - > them concerning <4012 - peri - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > , both <5037 - te - > out of the law <3551 - nomos - > of Moses <3475 - Moseus - > , and [ out of ] the prophets <4396 - prophetes - > , from morning <4404 - proi - > till <2193 - heos - > evening <2073 - hespera - > .

: 24 And some <3588 - ho - > believed <3982 - peitho - > the things which were spoken <3004 - lego - > , and some <3588 - ho - > believed not .

: 25 And when they agreed <0800 - asumphonos - > not among <4314 - pros - > themselves <0846 - autos - > , they departed <0630 - apoluo - > , after that Paul <3972 - Paulos - > had spoken <2036 - epo - > one <1520 - heis - > word <4487 - rhema - > , Well <2573 - kalos - > spake <2980 - laleo - > the Holy <0040 - hagios - > Ghost <4151 - pneuma - > by Esaias <2268 - Hesaias - > the prophet <4396 - prophetes - > unto our fathers <3962 - pater - > ,

: 27 For the heart <2588 - kardia - > of this <5127 - toutou - > people <2992 - laos - > is waxed <3975 - pachuno - > gross <3975 - pachuno - > , and their ears <3775 - ous - > are dull <0917 - bareos - > of hearing <0191 - akouo - > , and their eyes <3788 - ophthalmos - > have they closed <2576 - kammuo - > ; lest <3379 - mepote - > they should see <1492 - eido - > with [ their ] eyes <3788 - ophthalmos - > , and hear <0191 - akouo - > with [ their ] ears <3775 - ous - > , and understand <4920 - suniemi - > with [ their ] heart <2588 - kardia - > , and should be converted <1994 - epistrepho - > , and I should heal <2392 - iasis - > them .

: 29 And when he had said <2036 - epo - > these <5023 - tauta - > words , the Jews <2453 - Ioudaios - > departed <0565 - aperchomai - > , and had <2192 - echo - > great <4183 - polus - > reasoning <4803 - suzetesis - > among <1722 - en - > themselves <1438 - heautou - > .
