:26 And thence <1564-ekeithen-> sailed <0636-apopleo-> to Antioch <0490-Antiocheia->, from whence <3606-hothen-> they had been recommended <3860-paradidomi-> to the grace <5485-charis-> of God <2316-theos-> for the work <2041-ergon-> which <3739-hos-> they fulfilled <4137-pleroo->.
:27 And when they were come <3854-paraginomai->, and had gathered <4863-sunago-> the church <1577-ekklesia-> together <4863-sunago->, they rehearsed <0312-anaggello-> all <3745-hosos-> that God <2316-theos-> had done <4160-poieo-> with them, and how he had opened <0455-anoigo-> the door <2374-thura-> of faith <4102-pistis-> unto the Gentiles <1484-ethnos->.
:28 And there <1563-ekei-> they abode <1304-diatribo-> long <3641-oligos-> time <5550-chronos-> with the disciples <3101-mathetes->.
:Acts 15
:1. And certain <5100-tis-> men which came <2718-katerchomai-> down <2718-katerchomai-> from Judaea <2449-Ioudaia-> taught <1321-didasko-> the brethren <0080-adephos->, [and said], Except <3362-ean me-> ye be circumcised <4059-peritemno-> after the manner <1485-ethos-> of Moses <3475-Moseus->, ye cannot <1410-dunamai-> be saved <4982-sozo->.
:2 When therefore <3767-oun-> Paul <3972-Paulos-> and Barnabas <0921-Barnabas-> had <1096-ginomai-> no <3756-ou-> small <3641-oligos-> dissension <4714-stasis-> and disputation <4803-suzetesis-> with them, they determined <5021-tasso-> that Paul <3972-Paulos-> and Barnabas <0921-Barnabas->, and certain <5100-tis-> other <0243-allos-> of them, should go <0305-anabaino-> up to Jerusalem <2419-Hierousalem-> unto the apostles <0652-apostolos-> and elders <4245-presbuteros-> about <4012-peri-> this <5127-toutou-> question <2213-zetema->.
: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->;
:12 And from thence <1564-ekeithen-> to Philippi <5375-Philippoi->, which <3748-hostis-> is the chief <4413-protos-> city <4172-polis-> of that part <3310-meris-> of Macedonia <3109-Makedonia->, [and] a colony <2862-kolonia->: and we were in that city <4172-polis-> abiding <1304-diatribo-> certain <5100-tis-> days <2250-hemera->.
:13 And on the sabbath <4521-sabbaton-> we went <1831-exerchomai-> out of the city <4172-polis-> by a river <4215-potamos-> side <3844-para->, where prayer <4335-proseuche-> was wont <3543-nomizo-> to be made <1511-einai->; and we sat <2523-kathizo-> down <2523-kathizo->, and spake <2980-laleo-> unto the women <1135-gune-> which resorted <4905-sunerchomai-> [thither].
:14 And a certain <5100-tis-> woman <1135-gune-> named <3686-onoma-> Lydia <3070-Ludia->, a seller <4211-porphuropolis-> of purple <4211-porphuropolis->, of the city <4172-polis-> of Thyatira <2363-Thuateira->, which worshipped <4576-sebomai-> God <2316-theos->, heard <0191-akouo-> [us]: whose <3739-hos-> heart <2588-kardia-> the Lord <2962-kurios-> opened <1272-dianoigo->, that she attended <4337-prosecho-> unto the things which were spoken <2980-laleo-> of Paul <3972-Paulos->.
:15 And when <5613-hos-> she was baptized <0907-baptizo->, and her household <3624-oikos->, she besought <3870-parakaleo-> [us], saying <3004-lego->, If <1487-ei-> ye have judged <2919-krino-> me to be faithful <4103-pistos-> to the Lord <2962-kurios->, come <1525-eiserchomai-> into <1519-eis-> my house <3624-oikos->, and abide <3306-meno-> [there]. And she constrained <3849-parabiazomai-> us.
:16. And it came <1096-ginomai-> to pass, as we went <4198-poreuomai-> to prayer <4335-proseuche->, a certain <5100-tis-> damsel <3814-paidiske-> possessed <2192-echo-> with a spirit <4151-pneuma-> of divination <4436-Puthon-> met <0528-apantao-> us, which <3748-hostis-> brought <3930-parecho-> her masters <2962-kurios-> much <4183-polus-> gain <2039-ergasia-> by soothsaying <3132-manteuomai->:
:17 The same <3778-houtos-> followed <2628-katakoloutheo-> Paul <3972-Paulos-> and us, and cried <2896-krazo->, saying <3004-lego->, These <3778-houtos-> men <0444-anthropos-> are the servants <1401-doulos-> of the most <5310-hupsistos-> high <5310-hupsistos-> God <2316-theos->, which <3748-hostis-> shew <2605-kataggello-> unto us the way <3598-hodos-> of salvation <4991-soteria->.
:18 And this <5124-touto-> did <4160-poieo-> she many <4183-polus-> days <2250-hemera->. But Paul <3972-Paulos->, being grieved <1278-diaponeo->, turned <1994-epistrepho-> and said <2036-epo-> to the spirit <4151-pneuma->, I command <3853-paraggello-> thee in the name <3686-onoma-> of Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> to come <1831-exerchomai-> out of her. And he came <1831-exerchomai-> out the same <0846-autos-> hour <5610-hora->.
:19 And when her masters <2962-kurios-> saw <1492-eido-> that the hope <1680-elpis-> of their gains <2039-ergasia-> was gone <1831-exerchomai->, they caught <1949-epilambanomai-> Paul <3972-Paulos-> and Silas <4609-Silas->, and drew <1670-helkuo-> [them] into <1519-eis-> the marketplace <0058-agora-> unto the rulers <0758-archon->,
:20 And brought <4317-prosago-> them to the magistrates <4755-strategos->, saying <2036-epo->, These <3778-houtos-> men <0444-anthropos->, being <5225-huparcho-> Jews <2453-Ioudaios->, do exceedingly <1613-ektarasso-> trouble <1613-ektarasso-> our city <4172-polis->,
:21 And teach <2605-kataggello-> customs <1485-ethos->, which <3739-hos-> are not lawful <1832-exesti-> for us to receive <3858-paradechomai->, neither <3761-oude-> to observe <4160-poieo->, being <5605-odino-> Romans <4514-Rhomaios->.
:22 And the multitude <3793-ochlos-> rose <4911-sunephistemi-> up together <4911-sunephistemi-> against <2596-kata-> them: and the magistrates <4755-strategos-> rent <4048-perirrhegnumi-> off <4048-perirrhegnumi-> their clothes <2440-himation->, and commanded <2753-keleuo-> to beat <4463-rhabdizo-> [them].
:23 And when they had laid <2007-epitithemi-> many <4183-polus-> stripes <4127-plege-> upon them, they cast <0906-ballo-> [them] into <1519-eis-> prison <5438-phulake->, charging <3853-paraggello-> the jailor <1200-desmophulax-> to keep <5083-tereo-> them safely <0806-asphalos->:
:24 Who <3739-hos->, having received <2983-lambano-> such <5108-toioutos-> a charge <3852-paraggelia->, thrust <0906-ballo-> them into <1519-eis-> the inner <2082-esoteros-> prison <5438-phulake->, and made <0805-asphalizo-> their feet <4228-pous-> fast <0805-asphalizo-> in the stocks <3586-xulon->.
:25. And at <2596-kata-> midnight <3317-mesonuktion-> Paul <3972-Paulos-> and Silas <4609-Silas-> prayed <4336-proseuchomai->, and sang <5214-humneo-> praises unto God <2316-theos->: and the prisoners <1198-desmios-> heard <1874-epakroaomai-> them.
:26 And suddenly <0869-aphno-> there was a great <3173-megas-> earthquake <4578-seismos->, so <5620-hoste-> that the foundations <2310-themelios-> of the prison <1201-desmoterion-> were shaken <4531-saleuo->: and immediately <3916-parachrema-> all <3956-pas-> the doors <2374-thura-> were opened <0455-anoigo->, and every <3956-pas-> one's bands <1199-desmon-> were loosed <0447-aniemi->.
:27 And the keeper <1200-desmophulax-> of the prison <1200-desmophulax-> awaking <1853-exupnos-> out of his sleep <1853-exupnos->, and seeing <1492-eido-> the prison <5438-phulake-> doors <2374-thura-> open <0455-anoigo->, he drew <4685-spao-> out his sword <3162-machaira->, and would <3195-mello-> have killed <0337-anaireo-> himself <1438-heautou->, supposing <3543-nomizo-> that the prisoners <1198-desmios-> had been fled <1628-ekpheugo->.
:28 But Paul <3972-Paulos-> cried <5455-phoneo-> with a loud <3173-megas-> voice <5456-phone->, saying <3004-lego->, Do <4238-prasso-> thyself <4572-seautou-> no <3367-medeis-> harm <2556-kakos->: for we are all <0537-hapas-> here <1759-enthade->.
:29 Then <1161-de-> he called <0154-aiteo-> for a light <5457-phos->, and sprang <1530-eispedao-> in, and came <1096-ginomai-> trembling <1790-entromos->, and fell <4363-prospipto-> down before <4363-prospipto-> Paul <3972-Paulos-> and Silas <4609-Silas->,
:30 And brought <4254-proago-> them out, and said <5346-phemi->, Sirs <2962-kurios->, what <5101-tis-> must <1163-dei-> I do <4160-poieo-> to be saved <4982-sozo->?
:31 And they said <2036-epo->, Believe <4100-pisteuo-> on <1909-epi-> the Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->, and thou shalt be saved <4982-sozo->, and thy house <3624-oikos->.
:32 And they spake <2980-laleo-> unto him the word <3056-logos-> of the Lord <2962-kurios->, and to all <3956-pas-> that were in his house <3614-oikia->.
:33 And he took <3880-paralambano-> them the same <1565-ekeinos-> hour <5610-hora-> of the night <3571-nux->, and washed <3068-louo-> [their] stripes <4127-plege->; and was baptized <0907-baptizo->, he and all <3956-pas-> his, straightway <3916-parachrema->.
:34 And when he had brought <0321-anago-> them into <1519-eis-> his house <3624-oikos->, he set <3908-paratithemi-> meat <5132-trapeza-> before <3908-paratithemi-> them, and rejoiced <0021-agalliao->, believing <4100-pisteuo-> in God <2316-theos-> with all <3832-panoiki-> his house <3832-panoiki->.
:35. And when it was day <2250-hemera->, the magistrates <4755-strategos-> sent <0649-apostello-> the serjeants <4465-rhabdouchos->, saying <3004-lego->, Let <0630-apoluo-> those <1565-ekeinos-> men <0444-anthropos-> go <0630-apoluo->.
:36 And the keeper <1200-desmophulax-> of the prison <1200-desmophulax-> told <0518-apaggello-> this <5128-toutous-> saying <3056-logos-> to Paul <3972-Paulos->, The magistrates <4755-strategos-> have sent <0649-apostello-> to let <0630-apoluo-> you go <0630-apoluo->: now <3568-nun-> therefore <3767-oun-> depart <1831-exerchomai->, and go <4198-poreuomai-> in peace <1515-eirene->.
:37 But Paul <3972-Paulos-> said <5346-phemi-> unto them, They have beaten <1194-dero-> us openly <1219-demosios-> uncondemned <0178-akatakritos->, being <5225-huparcho-> Romans <4514-Rhomaios->, and have cast <0906-ballo-> [us] into <1519-eis-> prison <5438-phulake->; and now <3568-nun-> do they thrust <1544-ekballo-> us out privily <2977-lathra->? nay <3756-ou-> verily <1063-gar->; but let them come <2064-erchomai-> themselves <0846-autos-> and fetch <1806-exago-> us out.
:38 And the serjeants <4465-rhabdouchos-> told <0312-anaggello-> these <5023-tauta-> words <4487-rhema-> unto the magistrates <4755-strategos->: and they feared <5399-phobeo->, when they heard <0191-akouo-> that they were Romans <4514-Rhomaios->.
:39 And they came <2064-erchomai-> and besought <3870-parakaleo-> them, and brought <1806-exago-> [them] out, and desired <2065-erotao-> [them] to depart <1831-exerchomai-> out of the city <4172-polis->.
:40 And they went <1831-exerchomai-> out of the prison <5438-phulake->, and entered <1525-eiserchomai-> into <1519-eis-> [the house of] Lydia <3070-Ludia->: and when they had seen <1492-eido-> the brethren <0080-adephos->, they comforted <3870-parakaleo-> them, and departed <1831-exerchomai->.
:Acts 17
:1. Now <1161-de-> when they had passed <1353-diodeuo-> through <1653-eleeo-> Amphipolis <0295-Amphipolis-> and Apollonia <0624-Apollonia->, they came <2064-erchomai-> to Thessalonica <2332-Thessalonike->, where <3699-hopou-> was a synagogue <4864-sunagoge-> of the Jews <2453-Ioudaios->:
:2 And Paul <3972-Paulos->, as his manner <1485-ethos-> was, went <1525-eiserchomai-> in unto them, and three <5140-treis-> sabbath <4521-sabbaton-> days reasoned <1256-dialegomai-> with them out of the scriptures <1124-graphe->,
:3 Opening <1272-dianoigo-> and alleging <3908-paratithemi->, that Christ <5547-Christos-> must <1163-dei-> needs have suffered <3958-pascho->, and risen <0450-anistemi-> again <0450-anistemi-> from the dead <3498-nekros->; and that this <3778-houtos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->, whom <3739-hos-> I preach <2605-kataggello-> unto you, is Christ <5547-Christos->.
:4 And some <5100-tis-> of them believed <3982-peitho->, and consorted <4345-proskleroo-> with Paul <3972-Paulos-> and Silas <4609-Silas->; and of the devout <4576-sebomai-> Greeks <1672-Hellen-> a great <4183-polus-> multitude <4128-plethos->, and of the chief <4413-protos-> women <1135-gune-> not a few <3641-oligos->.
:5 But the Jews <2453-Ioudaios-> which believed <0544-apeitheo-> not, moved <2206-zeloo-> with envy <2206-zeloo->, took <4355-proslambano-> unto them certain <5100-tis-> lewd <4190-poneros-> fellows <0435-aner-> of the baser <0060-agoraios-> sort, and gathered <3792-ochlopoieo-> a company <3792-ochlopoieo->, and set <2350-thorubeo-> all the city <4172-polis-> on an uproar <2350-thorubeo->, and assaulted <2186-ephistemi-> the house <3614-oikia-> of Jason <2394-Iason->, and sought <2212-zeteo-> to bring <0071-ago-> them out to the people <1218-demos->.
:6 And when they found <2147-heurisko-> them not, they drew <4951-suro-> Jason <2394-Iason-> and certain <5100-tis-> brethren <0080-adephos-> unto the rulers <4173-politarches-> of the city <4173-politarches->, crying <0994-boao->, These <3778-houtos-> that have turned <0387-anastatoo-> the world <3625-oikoumene-> upside <0389-anastenazo-> down <0387-anastatoo-> are come <3918-pareimi-> hither <1759-enthade-> also <2532-kai->;
:7 Whom <3739-hos-> Jason <2394-Iason-> hath received <5264-hupodechomai->: and these <3778-houtos-> all <3956-pas-> do <4160-poieo-> contrary <0561-apenanti-> to the decrees <1378-dogma-> of Caesar <2541-Kaisar->, saying <3004-lego-> that there is another <2087-heteros-> king <0935-basileus->, [one] Jesus <2424-Iesous->.
:8 And they troubled <5015-tarasso-> the people <3793-ochlos-> and the rulers <4173-politarches-> of the city <4173-politarches->, when they heard <0191-akouo-> these <5023-tauta-> things.
:9 And when they had taken <2983-lambano-> security <2425-hikanos-> of Jason <2394-Iason->, and of the other <3062-loipoy->, they let <0630-apoluo-> them go <0630-apoluo->.
:10. And the brethren <0080-adephos-> immediately <2112-eutheos-> sent <1599-ekpempo-> away <1599-ekpempo-> Paul <3972-Paulos-> and Silas <4609-Silas-> by night <3571-nux-> unto Berea <0960-Beroia->: who <3748-hostis-> coming <3854-paraginomai-> [thither <3854-paraginomai->] went <0549-apeimi-> into <1519-eis-> the synagogue <4864-sunagoge-> of the Jews <2453-Ioudaios->.
:11 These <3778-houtos-> were more noble <2104-eugenes-> than those <3588-ho-> in Thessalonica <2332-Thessalonike->, in that they received <1209-dechomai-> the word <3056-logos-> with all <3956-pas-> readiness <4288-prothumia-> of mind <4288-prothumia->, and searched <0350-anakrino-> the scriptures <1124-graphe-> daily <2250-hemera->, whether <1487-ei-> those <5023-tauta-> things were so <3779-houto->.
:12 Therefore <3767-oun-> many <4183-polus-> of them believed <4100-pisteuo->; also <2532-kai-> of honourable <2158-euschemon-> women <1135-gune-> which <3588-ho-> were Greeks <1674-Hellenis->, and of men <0435-aner->, not a few <3641-oligos->.
:13 But when <5613-hos-> the Jews <2453-Ioudaios-> of Thessalonica <2332-Thessalonike-> had knowledge <1097-ginosko-> that the word <3056-logos-> of God <2316-theos-> was preached <2605-kataggello-> of Paul <3972-Paulos-> at <1722-en-> Berea <0960-Beroia->, they came <2064-erchomai-> thither <1563-ekei-> also <2546-kakei->, and stirred <4531-saleuo-> up the people <3793-ochlos->.
:14 And then <5119-tote-> immediately <2112-eutheos-> the brethren <0080-adephos-> sent <1821-exapostello-> away <1821-exapostello-> Paul <3972-Paulos-> to go <4198-poreuomai-> as it were to the sea <2281-thalassa->: but Silas <4609-Silas-> and Timotheus <5095-Timotheos-> abode <5278-hupomeno-> there <1563-ekei-> still.
:15 And they that conducted <2525-kathistemi-> Paul <3972-Paulos-> brought <0071-ago-> him unto Athens <0116-Athenai->: and receiving <2983-lambano-> a commandment <1785-entole-> unto Silas <4609-Silas-> and Timotheus <5095-Timotheos-> for to come <2064-erchomai-> to him with all <5033-tachista-> speed <5033-tachista->, they departed <1826-exeimi->.
:16. Now <1161-de-> while Paul <3972-Paulos-> waited <1551-ekdechomai-> for them at <1722-en-> Athens <0116-Athenai->, his spirit <4151-pneuma-> was stirred <3947-paroxuno-> in him, when he saw <2334-theoreo-> the city <4172-polis-> wholly given to idolatry <2712-kateidolos->.
:17 Therefore <3767-oun-> disputed <1256-dialegomai-> he in the synagogue <4864-sunagoge-> with the Jews <2453-Ioudaios->, and with the devout <4576-sebomai-> persons, and in the market <0058-agora-> daily <2250-hemera-> with them that met <3909-paratugchano-> with him.
:18 Then <1161-de-> certain <5100-tis-> philosophers <5386-philosophos-> of the Epicureans <1946-Epikoureios->, and of the Stoicks <4770-Stoikos->, encountered <4820-sumballo-> him. And some <5100-tis-> said <3004-lego->, What <5101-tis-> will <2309-thelo-> this <3778-houtos-> babbler <4691-spermologos-> say <3004-lego->? other <1161-de-> some <3588-ho->, He seemeth <1380-dokeo-> to be a setter <2604-kataggeleus-> forth <2604-kataggeleus-> of strange <3581-xenos-> gods <1140-daimonion->: because <3754-hoti-> he preached <2907-kreas-> unto them Jesus <2424-Iesous->, and the resurrection <0386-anastasis->.
:19 And they took <1949-epilambanomai-> him, and brought <0071-ago-> him unto Areopagus <0697-Areios Pagos->, saying <3004-lego->, May <1410-dunamai-> we know <1097-ginosko-> what <5101-tis-> this <3778-houtos-> new <2537-kainos-> doctrine <1322-didache->, whereof thou speakest <2980-laleo->, [is]?
:20 For thou bringest <1533-eisphero-> certain <5100-tis-> strange <3579-xenizo-> things to our ears <0189-akoe->: we would know <1097-ginosko-> therefore <3767-oun-> what <5101-tis-> these <5023-tauta-> things mean <1511-einai->.
:21 (For all <3956-pas-> the Athenians <0117-Athenaios-> and strangers <3581-xenos-> which <3588-ho-> were there <1927-epidemeo-> spent <2119-eukaireo-> their time <2119-eukaireo-> in nothing <3762-oudeis-> else <2087-heteros->, but either <2228-e-> to tell <3004-lego->, or <2532-kai-> to hear <0191-akouo-> some <5100-tis-> new <2537-kainos-> thing.)
:22. Then <1161-de-> Paul <3972-Paulos-> stood <2476-histemi-> in the midst <3319-mesos-> of Mars <0697-Areios Pagos->' hill <0697-Areios Pagos->, and said <5346-phemi->, [Ye] men <0435-aner-> of Athens <0117-Athenaios->, I perceive <2334-theoreo-> that in all <3956-pas-> things ye are too <1174-deisidaimonesteros-> superstitious <1174-deisidaimonesteros->.
:23 For as I passed <1330-dierchomai-> by, and beheld <0333-antheoreo-> your <5216-humon-> devotions <4574-sebasma->, I found <2147-heurisko-> an altar <1041-bomos-> with this <3739-hos-> inscription <1924-epigrapho->, TO THE UNKNOWN <0057-agnostos-> GOD <2316-theos->. Whom <3739-hos-> therefore <3767-oun-> ye ignorantly <0050-agnoeo-> worship <2151-eusebeo->, him declare <2605-kataggello-> I unto you.
:24 God <2316-theos-> that made <4160-poieo-> the world <2889-kosmos-> and all <3956-pas-> things therein <0846-autos->, seeing that he is Lord <2962-kurios-> of heaven <3772-ouranos-> and earth <1093-ge->, dwelleth <2730-katoikeo-> not in temples <3485-naos-> made <5499-cheiropoietos-> with hands <5499-cheiropoietos->;
:25 Neither <3761-oude-> is worshipped <2323-therapeuo-> with men's <0444-anthropos-> hands <5495-cheir->, as though he needed <4326-prosdeomai-> any <5100-tis-> thing, seeing he giveth <1325-didomi-> to all <3956-pas-> life <2222-zoe->, and breath <4157-pnoe->, and all <3956-pas-> things;
:26 And hath made <4160-poieo-> of one <1520-heis-> blood <0129-haima-> all <3956-pas-> nations <1484-ethnos-> of men <0444-anthropos-> for to dwell <2730-katoikeo-> on <1909-epi-> all <3956-pas-> the face <4383-prosopon-> of the earth <1093-ge->, and hath determined <3724-horizo-> the times <2540-kairos-> before <4384-protasso-> appointed <4384-protasso->, and the bounds <3734-horothesia-> of their habitation <2733-katoikia->;
:27 That they should seek <2212-zeteo-> the Lord <2962-kurios->, if <1487-ei-> haply <0686-ara-> they might feel <5584-pselaphao-> after him, and find <2147-heurisko-> him, though <2544-kaitoige-> he be not far <3112-makran-> from every <1538-hekastos-> one <1520-heis-> of us:
:28 For in him we live <2198-zao->, and move <2795-kineo->, and have our being <2070-esmen->; as certain <5100-tis-> also <2532-kai-> of your <5209-humas-> own <2596-kata-> poets <4163-poietes-> have said <2046-ereo->, For we are also <2532-kai-> his offspring <1085-genos->.
:29 Forasmuch then <3767-oun-> as we are the offspring <1085-genos-> of God <2316-theos->, we ought <3784-opheilo-> not to think <3543-nomizo-> that the Godhead <2304-theios-> is like <3664-homoios-> unto gold <5557-chrusos->, or <2228-e-> silver <0696-arguros->, or <2228-e-> stone <3037-lithos->, graven <5480-charagma-> by art <5078-techne-> and man's <0444-anthropos-> device <1761-enthumesis->.
:30 And the times <5550-chronos-> of this <3588-ho-> ignorance <0052-agnoia-> God <2316-theos-> winked <5237-hupereido-> at; but now <3568-nun-> commandeth <3853-paraggello-> all <3956-pas-> men <0444-anthropos-> every <3837-pantachou-> where <3837-pantachou-> to repent <3340-metanoeo->:
:31 Because <1360-dioti-> he hath appointed <2476-histemi-> a day <2250-hemera->, in the which <3739-hos-> he will <3195-mello-> judge <2919-krino-> the world <3625-oikoumene-> in righteousness <1343-dikaiosune-> by [that] man <0435-aner-> whom <3739-hos-> he hath ordained <3724-horizo->; [whereof] he hath given <3930-parecho-> assurance <4102-pistis-> unto all <3956-pas-> [men], in that he hath raised <0450-anistemi-> him from the dead <3498-nekros->.
:32. And when they heard <0191-akouo-> of the resurrection <0386-anastasis-> of the dead <3498-nekros->, some <3588-ho-> mocked <5512-chleuazo->: and others <3588-ho-> said <2036-epo->, We will hear <0191-akouo-> thee again <3825-palin-> of this <5127-toutou-> [matter].
