| Vers | Greek NT: Westcott/Hort, UBS4 variants † | English: King James Version |
| 1 | και διασωθεντες τοτε επεγνωμεν οτι {VAR1: μελιτηνη } {VAR2: μελιτη } η νησος καλειται | And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. |
| 2 | οι τε βαρβαροι παρειχον ου την τυχουσαν φιλανθρωπιαν ημιν αψαντες γαρ πυραν προσελαβοντο παντας ημας δια τον υετον τον εφεστωτα και δια το ψυχος | And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. |
| 3 | συστρεψαντος δε του παυλου φρυγανων τι πληθος και επιθεντος επι την πυραν εχιδνα απο της θερμης εξελθουσα καθηψεν της χειρος αυτου | And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. |
| 4 | ως δε ειδον οι βαρβαροι κρεμαμενον το θηριον εκ της χειρος αυτου προς αλληλους ελεγον παντως φονευς εστιν ο ανθρωπος ουτος ον διασωθεντα εκ της θαλασσης η δικη ζην ουκ ειασεν | And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. |
| 5 | ο μεν ουν αποτιναξας το θηριον εις το πυρ επαθεν ουδεν κακον | And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. |
| 6 | οι δε προσεδοκων αυτον μελλειν πιμπρασθαι η καταπιπτειν αφνω νεκρον επι πολυ δε αυτων προσδοκωντων και θεωρουντων μηδεν ατοπον εις αυτον γινομενον μεταβαλομενοι ελεγον αυτον ειναι θεον | Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. |
| 7 | εν δε τοις περι τον τοπον εκεινον υπηρχεν χωρια τω πρωτω της νησου ονοματι ποπλιω ος αναδεξαμενος ημας {VAR1: ημερας τρεις } {VAR2: τρεις ημερας } φιλοφρονως εξενισεν | In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously. |
| 8 | εγενετο δε τον πατερα του ποπλιου πυρετοις και δυσεντεριω συνεχομενον κατακεισθαι προς ον ο παυλος εισελθων και προσευξαμενος επιθεις τας χειρας αυτω ιασατο αυτον | And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him. |
| 9 | τουτου δε γενομενου {VAR1: [και] } {VAR2: και } οι λοιποι οι εν τη νησω εχοντες ασθενειας προσηρχοντο και εθεραπευοντο | So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed: |
| 10 | οι και πολλαις τιμαις ετιμησαν ημας και αναγομενοις επεθεντο τα προς τας χρειας | Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary. |
| 11 | μετα δε τρεις μηνας ανηχθημεν εν πλοιω παρακεχειμακοτι εν τη νησω αλεξανδρινω παρασημω διοσκουροις | And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. |
| 12 | και καταχθεντες εις συρακουσας επεμειναμεν ημερας τρεις | And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. |
| 13 | οθεν περιελοντες κατηντησαμεν εις ρηγιον και μετα μιαν ημεραν επιγενομενου νοτου δευτεραιοι ηλθομεν εις ποτιολους | And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli: |
| 14 | ου ευροντες αδελφους παρεκληθημεν παρ αυτοις επιμειναι ημερας επτα και ουτως εις την ρωμην ηλθαμεν | Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome. |
| 15 | κακειθεν οι αδελφοι ακουσαντες τα περι ημων ηλθαν εις απαντησιν ημιν αχρις αππιου φορου και τριων ταβερνων ους ιδων ο παυλος ευχαριστησας τω θεω ελαβεν θαρσος | And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appiiforum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage. |
| 16 | οτε δε εισηλθομεν εις ρωμην επετραπη τω παυλω μενειν καθ εαυτον συν τω φυλασσοντι αυτον στρατιωτη | And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him. |
| 17 | εγενετο δε μετα ημερας τρεις συγκαλεσασθαι αυτον τους οντας των ιουδαιων πρωτους συνελθοντων δε αυτων ελεγεν προς αυτους εγω ανδρες αδελφοι ουδεν εναντιον ποιησας τω λαω η τοις εθεσιν τοις πατρωοις δεσμιος εξ ιεροσολυμων παρεδοθην εις τας | And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, |
| 18 | οιτινες ανακριναντες με εβουλοντο απολυσαι δια το μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου υπαρχειν εν εμοι | Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me. |
| 19 | αντιλεγοντων δε των ιουδαιων ηναγκασθην επικαλεσασθαι καισαρα ουχ ως του εθνους μου εχων τι κατηγορειν | But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of. |
| 20 | δια ταυτην ουν την αιτιαν παρεκαλεσα υμας ιδειν και προσλαλησαι ενεκεν γαρ της ελπιδος του ισραηλ την αλυσιν ταυτην περικειμαι | For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain. |
| 21 | οι δε προς αυτον ειπαν ημεις ουτε γραμματα περι σου εδεξαμεθα απο της ιουδαιας ουτε παραγενομενος τις των αδελφων απηγγειλεν η ελαλησεν τι περι σου πονηρον | And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee. |
| 22 | αξιουμεν δε παρα σου ακουσαι α φρονεις περι μεν γαρ της αιρεσεως ταυτης γνωστον ημιν εστιν οτι πανταχου αντιλεγεται | But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. |
| 23 | ταξαμενοι δε αυτω ημεραν ηλθον προς αυτον εις την ξενιαν πλειονες οις εξετιθετο διαμαρτυρομενος την βασιλειαν του θεου πειθων τε αυτους περι του ιησου απο τε του νομου μωυσεως και των προφητων απο πρωι εως εσπερας | And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning |
| 24 | και οι μεν επειθοντο τοις λεγομενοις οι δε ηπιστουν | And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. |
| 25 | ασυμφωνοι δε οντες προς αλληλους απελυοντο ειποντος του παυλου ρημα εν οτι καλως το πνευμα το αγιον ελαλησεν δια ησαιου του προφητου προς τους πατερας υμων | And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, |
| 26 | λεγων πορευθητι προς τον λαον τουτον και ειπον ακοη ακουσετε και ου μη συνητε και βλεποντες βλεψετε και ου μη ιδητε | Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: |
| 27 | επαχυνθη γαρ η καρδια του λαου τουτου και τοις ωσιν βαρεως ηκουσαν και τους οφθαλμους αυτων εκαμμυσαν μηποτε ιδωσιν τοις οφθαλμοις και τοις ωσιν ακουσωσιν και τη καρδια συνωσιν και επιστρεψωσιν και ιασομαι αυτους | For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, a |
| 28 | γνωστον ουν {VAR1: υμιν εστω } {VAR2: εστω υμιν } οτι τοις εθνεσιν απεσταλη τουτο το σωτηριον του θεου αυτοι και ακουσονται 28:29 | Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. |
| 30 | ενεμεινεν δε διετιαν ολην εν ιδιω μισθωματι και απεδεχετο παντας τους εισπορευομενους προς αυτον | And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, |
| 31 | κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως | Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. |
| 29 | And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. |
