Καί And ταῦτα these things εἰπών having said, θείς having bowed τά the γόνατα knee αὐτοῦ of him, σύν with πᾶσιν all αὐτοῖς them προσηύξατο. he prayed. ἱκανός Much δέ then κλαυθμός weeping ἐγένετο there was πάντων among all; καί and ἐπιπεσόντες having fallen ἐπί upon τόν the τράχηλον neck τοῦ - Παύλου of Paul, κατεφίλουν they were kissing αὐτόν, him, ὀδυνώμενοι sorrowing μάλιστα especially ἐπί over τῷ the λόγῳ word ᾧ that εἰρήκει, he had spoken, ὅτι that οὐκέτι no more μέλλουσιν they are about τό the πρόσωπον face αὐτοῦ of him θεωρεῖν. to see. προέπεμπον They accompanied δέ then αὐτόν him εἰς to τό the πλοῖον. ship.

ὡς After δέ then ἐγένετο it happened ἀναχθῆναι sailing ἡμᾶς our, ἀποσπασθέντας having drawn away ἀπ ̓ from αὐτῶν, them, εὐθυδρομήσαντες having run directly ἤλθομεν we came εἰς to τήν - Κῶ, Cos, τῇ - δέ and ἑξῆς the next [day] εἰς to τήν - Ῥόδον Rhodes, κἀκεῖθεν and from there εἰς to Πάταρα, Patara. καί And εὑρόντες having found πλοῖον a boat διαπερῶν passing over εἰς into Φοινίκην Phoenicia, ἐπιβάντες having gone on board, ἀνήχθημεν. we set sail. ἀναφάναντες Having sighted δέ then τήν - Κύπρον Cyprus καί and καταλιπόντες having left αὐτήν it εὐώνυμον on the left, ἐπλέομεν we kept sailing εἰς to Συρίαν Syria καί and κατήλθομεν landed εἰς at Τύρον· Tyre. ἐκεῖσε There γάρ for τό the πλοῖον ship ἦν was ἀποφορτιζόμενον unloading τόν the γόμον. cargo. Ἀνευρόντες Having sought out δέ then τούς the μαθητάς disciples, ἐπεμείναμεν we remained αὐτοῦ there ἡμέρας days ἑπτά, seven, οἵτινες who τῷ - Παύλῳ to Paul ἔλεγον kept telling διά through τοῦ the Πνεύματος Spirit μή not ἐπιβαίνειν to go up εἰς to Ἱεροσόλυμα. Jerusalem. ὅτε When δέ then ἐγένετο it happened that ἡμᾶς we ἐξαρτίσαι had completed τάς the ἡμέρας, days, ἐξελθόντες having set out, ἐπορευόμεθα we journeyed, προπεμπόντων accompanying ἡμᾶς us πάντων all σύν with γυναιξί wives καί and τέκνοις children, ἕως as far as ἔξω outside τῆς the πόλεως, city. καί And θέντες having bowed τά the γόνατα knees ἐπί on τόν the αἰγιαλόν shore, προσευξάμενοι having prayed, ἀπησπασάμεθα having said farewell ἀλλήλους to one another, καί then ἀνέβημεν we went up εἰς into τό the πλοῖον, boat; ἐκεῖνοι they δέ then ὑπέστρεψαν returned εἰς to τά the ἴδια. own.

Τότε Then ἀπεκρίθη answered ὁ - Παῦλος· Paul, Τί What ποιεῖτε are you doing, κλαίοντες weeping καί and συνθρύπτοντες breaking μου my τήν - καρδίαν; heart? ἐγώ I γάρ for οὐ not μόνον only δεθῆναι to be bound, ἀλλά but καί also ἀποθανεῖν to die εἰς at Ἰερουσαλήμ Jerusalem, ἑτοίμως readiness ἔχω have, ὑπέρ for τοῦ the ὀνόματος name τοῦ of the Κυρίου Lord Ἰησοῦ.

Μετά After δέ now τάς the ἡμέρας days ταύτας these, ἐπισκευασάμενοι having packed the baggage, ἀνεβαίνομεν we started on our way up εἰς to Ἱεροσόλυμα· Jerusalem. συνῆλθον Went δέ then καί also [some] τῶν of the μαθητῶν disciples ἀπό from Καισαρείας Caesarea σύν with ἡμῖν, us, ἄγοντες bringing [one] παρ ̓ with ᾧ whom ξενισθῶμεν we would lodge, Μνάσωνι Mnason, τινί a certain Κυπρίῳ, Cypriot, ἀρχαίῳ an early μαθητῇ. disciple. Γενομένων Having arrived δέ now ἡμῶν we εἰς at Ἱεροσόλυμα Jerusalem, ἀσμένως gladly ἀπεδέξαντο received ἡμᾶς us οἱ the ἀδελφοί. brothers.

Τοῦτο This οὖν therefore ποίησον do you ὅ what σοι to you λέγομεν· we say. εἰσίν There are ἡμῖν with us ἄνδρες men τέσσαρες four, εὐχήν a vow ἔχοντες having ἐφ ̓ on ἑαυτῶν. themselves. τούτους These [men] παραλαβών having taken, ἁγνίσθητι be purified σύν with αὐτοῖς them καί and δαπάνησον bear expense ἐπ ̓ for αὐτοῖς them, ἵνα so that ξυρήσονται they will shave τήν the κεφαλήν, head, καί and γνώσονται will know πάντες all ὅτι that ὧν of which κατήχηνται they have been informed περί about σοῦ you οὐδέν nothing ἐστίν is, ἀλλά but στοιχεῖς you walk orderly καί also αὐτός yourself, φυλάσσων keeping τόν the νόμον. law. Περί Concerning δέ now τῶν those πεπιστευκότων having believed ἐθνῶν of the Gentiles, ἡμεῖς we ἐπεστείλαμεν wrote, κρίναντες having adjudged φυλάσσεσθαι to keep from αὐτούς them, τό the things τέ both εἰδωλόθυτον sacrificed to idols, καί and αἷμα blood, καί and πνικτόν what is strangled, καί and πορνείαν. sexual immorality. Τότε Then ὁ - Παῦλος Paul, παραλαβών having taken τούς the ἄνδρας men, τῇ on the ἐχομένῃ following ἡμέρᾳ day, σύν with αὐτοῖς them ἁγνισθείς, having been purified, εἰσῄει entered εἰς into τό the ἱερόν temple, διαγγέλλων declaring τήν the ἐκπλήρωσιν fulfillment τῶν of the ἡμερῶν days τοῦ of the ἁγνισμοῦ purification ἕως until οὗ that προσηνέχθη was offered ὑπέρ for ἑνός one ἑκάστου each αὐτῶν of them ἡ the προσφορά. sacrifice.

ὡς When δέ now ἔμελλον were about αἱ the ἑπτά seven ἡμέραι days συντελεῖσθαι, to be completed, οἱ the ἀπό from τῆς - Ἀσίας Asia Ἰουδαῖοι Jews, θεασάμενοι having seen αὐτόν him ἐν in τῷ the ἱερῷ temple, συνέχεον began stirring up πάντα all τόν the ὄχλον crowd καί and ἐπέβαλον laid ἐπ ̓ upon αὐτόν him τάς the χεῖρας hands, κράζοντες· crying out, Ἄνδρες Men, Ἰσραηλῖται, Israelites, βοηθεῖτε· help! οὗτος This ἐστίν is ὁ the ἄνθρωπος man ὁ who κατά against τοῦ the λαοῦ people καί and τοῦ the νόμου law καί and τοῦ the τόπου place τούτου this πάντας all those πανταχῇ everywhere διδάσκων, teaching; ἔτι besides τέ and καί also Ἕλληνας Greeks εἰσήγαγεν he has brought εἰς into τό the ἱερόν temple καί and κεκοίνωκεν defiled τόν the ἅγιον holy τόπον place τοῦτον. this. ἦσαν It was they γάρ for προεωρακότες having previously seen Τρόφιμον Trophimus τόν the Ἐφέσιον Ephesian ἐν in τῇ the πόλει city σύν with αὐτῷ, him, ὅν whom ἐνόμιζον they were supposing ὅτι that εἰς into τό the ἱερόν temple εἰσήγαγεν had brought ὁ - Παῦλος.

Ἐκινήθη Was thrown into commotion τέ also ἡ the πόλις city ὅλη whole, καί and ἐγένετο there was συνδρομή a rushing together τοῦ of the λαοῦ, people. καί And ἐπιλαβόμενοι having laid hold τοῦ - Παύλου of Paul, εἷλκον they dragged αὐτόν him ἔξω outside τοῦ the ἱεροῦ temple, καί and εὐθέως immediately ἐκλείσθησαν were shut αἱ the θύραι. doors. Ζητούντων Of them seeking τέ then αὐτόν him ἀποκτεῖναι to kill, ἀνέβη there came φάσις a report τῷ to the χιλιάρχῳ commander τῆς of the σπείρης cohort ὅτι that ὅλη all συνχύννεται was in an uproar Ἰερουσαλήμ.

Ἄλλοι Others δέ however, ἄλλο another [or] τὶ one thing ἐπεφώνουν were crying out ἐν in τῷ the ὄχλῳ. crowd. μή Not δυναμένου being able δέ now αὐτοῦ he γνῶναι to know τό the ἀσφαλές facts διά on account of τόν the θόρυβον uproar, ἐκέλευσεν he ordered ἄγεσθαι to be brought αὐτόν him εἰς into τήν the παρεμβολήν. barracks. ὅτε When δέ now ἐγένετο he came ἐπί to τούς the ἀναβαθμούς, stairs, συνέβη it happened that βαστάζεσθαι was carried αὐτόν he ὑπό by τῶν the στρατιωτῶν soldiers, διά because of τήν the βίαν violence τοῦ of the ὄχλου, crowd. ἠκολούθει Were following γάρ for τό the πλῆθος multitude τοῦ of the λαοῦ people, κράζοντες· crying out, Αἶρε Away with αὐτόν. him.

Μέλλων Being about τέ then εἰσάγεσθαι to be brought εἰς into τήν the παρεμβολήν barracks, ὁ - Παῦλος Paul λέγει says τῷ to the χιλιάρχῳ· commander, εἰ If ἔξεστιν is it permitted μοι to me εἰπεῖν to say τὶ something πρός to σέ; you? ὁ - δέ Then ἔφη· he was saying, Ἑλληνιστί Greek γινώσκεις; do you know? οὐ Not ἄρα then σύ you εἶ are ὁ the Αἰγύπτιος Egyptian ὁ - πρό before τούτων these τῶν the ἡμερῶν days ἀναστατώσας having led a revolt καί and ἐξαγαγών having led out εἰς into τήν the ἔρημον wilderness τούς the τετρακισχιλίους four thousand ἄνδρας men τῶν of the Σικαρίων; Assassins?
