Ἀναβάς Having gone up δέ then, καί and κλάσας having broken τόν the ἄρτον bread, καί and γευσάμενος having eaten, ἐφ ̓ for ἱκανόν long τέ and ὁμιλήσας having talked ἄχρι until αὐγῆς, daybreak, οὕτως so ἐξῆλθεν. he departed. ἤγαγον They brought δέ then τόν the παῖδα boy ζῶντα alive, καί and παρεκλήθησαν were comforted οὐ not μετρίως. a little.

Ἡμεῖς We δέ however, προελθόντες having gone ahead ἐπί to τό the πλοῖον ship, ἀνήχθημεν sailed ἐπί to τήν - Ἆσσον Assos, ἐκεῖθεν there μέλλοντες being about ἀναλαμβάνειν to take in τόν - Παῦλον· Paul. οὕτως Thus γάρ for διατεταγμένος having arranged, ἦν he was μέλλων readying αὐτός himself πεζεύειν. to go on foot. ὡς When δέ now συνέβαλλεν he met with ἡμῖν us εἰς at τήν - Ἆσσον, Assos, ἀναλαβόντες having taken in αὐτόν him, ἤλθομεν we came εἰς to Μιτυλήνην, Mitylene. κἀκεῖθεν And from there ἀποπλεύσαντες having sailed away, τῇ on the ἐπιούσῃ following [day] κατηντήσαμεν we arrived ἄντικρυς opposite Χίου, Chios; τῇ - δέ then ἑτέρᾳ the next [day] παρεβάλομεν we arrived εἰς at Σάμον, Samos; τῇ the δέ now ἐχομένῃ following [day] ἤλθομεν we came εἰς to Μίλητον.

Jerusalem.

Ἀπό From δέ then τῆς - Μιλήτου Miletus, πέμψας having sent εἰς to Ἔφεσον Ephesus, μετεκαλέσατο he called for τούς the πρεσβυτέρους elders τῆς of the ἐκκλησίας. church. ὡς When δέ then παρεγένοντο they had come πρός to αὐτόν him, εἶπεν he said αὐτοῖς· to them, Ὑμεῖς You ἐπίστασθε, know ἀπό from πρώτης the first ἡμέρας day ἀφ ̓ on ἧς which ἐπέβην I arrived εἰς in τήν - Ἀσίαν, Asia, πῶς how μεθ ̓ with ὑμῶν you τόν the πάντα whole χρόνον time ἐγενόμην, I was, δουλεύων serving τῷ the Κυρίῳ Lord μετά with πάσης all ταπεινοφροσύνης humility, καί and δακρύων tears, καί and πειρασμῶν trials τῶν - συμβάντων having befallen μοι me ἐν in ταῖς the ἐπιβουλαῖς plots τῶν of the Ἰουδαίων, Jews; ὡς how οὐδέν nothing ὑπεστειλάμην I did shrink back τῶν of that συμφερόντων being profitable, τοῦ - μή not ἀναγγεῖλαι to declare ὑμῖν to you, καί and διδάξαι to teach ὑμᾶς you δημοσίᾳ publicly καί and κατ ̓ from οἴκους, house to house, διαμαρτυρόμενος earnestly testifying Ἰουδαίοις to the Jewish τέ both καί and Ἕλλησιν to Greeks, τήν - εἰς in Θεόν God μετάνοιαν repentance καί and πίστιν faith εἰς in τόν the Κύριον Lord ἡμῶν of us, Ἰησοῦν.
