1 По си́хъ же ѿлꙋчи́всѧ па́ѵелъ ѿ а҆ѳи́нъ, прїи́де въ корі́нѳъ:
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
2 и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тъ нѣ́коего і҆ꙋде́анина и҆́менемъ а҆кѵ́лꙋ, по́нтѧнина ро́домъ, но́вѡ прише́дша ѿ і҆талі́и, и҆ прїскі́ллꙋ женꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀: занѐ повелѣ́лъ бѧ́ше клаѵді́й ѿлꙋчи́тисѧ всѣ̑мъ і҆ꙋде́ємъ ѿ ри́ма: прїи́де къ ни̑мъ,
2 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
3 и҆ занѐ є҆динохꙋдо́жникѡмъ бы́ти и҆̀мъ, пребы́сть ᲂу҆ ни́хъ и҆ дѣ́лаше: бѧ́хꙋ бо скинотво́рцы хи́тростїю.
3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4 Стѧза́шесѧ же на со́нмищахъ по всѧ̑ сꙋббѡ̑ты и҆ препира́ше і҆ꙋдє́и и҆ є҆́ллины.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 И҆ є҆гда̀ снидо́ста ѿ македо́нїи сі́ла же и҆ тїмоѳе́й, тꙋжа́ше дꙋ́хомъ па́ѵелъ, свидѣ́тельствꙋѧ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ і҆и҃са бы́ти хрⷭ҇та̀.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6 Проти́вѧщымсѧ же и҆̀мъ и҆ хꙋ́лѧщымъ, ѡ҆трѧ́съ ри̑зы своѧ̑, речѐ къ ни̑мъ: кро́вь ва́ша на глава́хъ ва́шихъ: чи́стъ а҆́зъ, ѿнн҃ѣ во ꙗ҆зы́ки и҆дꙋ̀.
6 When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”
7 И҆ преше́дъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, прїи́де въ до́мъ нѣ́коегѡ и҆́менемъ і҆ꙋ́ста, чтꙋ́ща бг҃а, є҆мꙋ́же хра́мина бѣ̀ вскра́й со́нмища.
7 He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Крі́спъ же нача́льникъ собо́ра вѣ́рова гдⷭ҇еви со всѣ́мъ до́момъ свои́мъ, и҆ мно́зи ѿ корі́нѳѧнъ слы́шавше вѣ́ровахꙋ и҆ креща́хꙋсѧ.
8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
9 Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь въ видѣ́нїи нощнѣ́мъ па́ѵлꙋ: не бо́йсѧ, но глаго́ли и҆ да не ᲂу҆мо́лкнеши,
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
10 занѐ а҆́зъ є҆́смь съ тобо́ю, и҆ никто́же приложи́тъ ѡ҆ѕло́бити тѧ̀: занѐ лю́дїе сꙋ́ть мѝ мно́зи во гра́дѣ се́мъ.
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
11 Пребы́сть же та́мѡ лѣ́то и҆ мцⷭ҇ъ ше́сть, ᲂу҆чѧ̀ въ ни́хъ сло́вꙋ бж҃їю.
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Галлїѡ́нꙋ же а҆нѳѷпа́тꙋ сꙋ́щꙋ во а҆ха́їи, нападо́ша є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ і҆ꙋде́є на па́ѵла и҆ приведо́ша є҆го̀ на сꙋди́лище,
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
13 глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ проти́вꙋ зако́нꙋ се́й ᲂу҆вѣщава́етъ человѣ́ки чти́ти бг҃а.
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
14 Хотѧ́щꙋ же па́ѵлꙋ ѿве́рсти ᲂу҆ста̀, речѐ галлїѡ́нъ ко і҆ꙋде́ємъ: а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо непра́вда была́ бы ка́ѧ и҆лѝ дѣ́ло ѕло́е, ѽ, і҆ꙋде́є, по сло́вꙋ послꙋ́шалъ бы́хъ ва́съ:
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
15 а҆́ще ли же стѧза̑нїѧ сꙋ́ть ѡ҆ словесѝ и҆ ѡ҆ и҆́менѣхъ и҆ ѡ҆ зако́нѣ ва́шемъ, вѣ́дите са́ми: сꙋдїѧ́ бо а҆́зъ си̑мъ не хощꙋ̀ бы́ти.
15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
16 И҆ и҆згна̀ и҆̀хъ ѿ сꙋди́лища.
16 So he drove them from the judgment seat.
17 Є҆́мше же всѝ є҆́ллини сѡсѳе́на нача́льника собо́ра, бїѧ́хꙋ пред̾ сꙋди́лищемъ: и҆ ни є҆ди́но ѡ҆ си́хъ галлїѡ́нꙋ радѣ́нїе бы́сть.
17 Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
18 Па́ѵелъ же, є҆щѐ пребы́въ дни̑ довѡ́льны и҆ цѣлова́въ бра́тїю, ѿплы̀ въ сѷрі́ю, и҆ съ ни́мъ а҆кѵ́ла и҆ прїскі́лла, ѡ҆стри́гъ главꙋ̀ въ кегхре́ихъ: ѡ҆бре́ксѧ бо бѣ̀.
18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19 Приста́ же во є҆фе́сѣ и҆ тѣ́хъ ѡ҆ста́ви та́мѡ, са́мъ же вше́дъ въ со́нмище, стѧза́шесѧ со і҆ꙋдє́и.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Молѧ́щымъ же и҆̀мъ є҆го̀ на мно́го вре́мѧ пребы́ти ᲂу҆ ни́хъ, не и҆зво́ли,
20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
21 но ѿрече́сѧ и҆̀мъ, глаго́лѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ мѝ всѧ́кѡ пра́здникъ грѧдꙋ́щїй сотвори́ти во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: па́ки же возвращꙋ́сѧ къ ва́мъ, бг҃ꙋ хотѧ́щꙋ. И҆ ѿвезе́сѧ ѿ є҆фе́са: а҆кѵ́ла же и҆ прїскі́лла ѡ҆ста́ста во є҆фе́сѣ.
21 but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
22 И҆ соше́дъ въ кесарі́ю, возше́дъ и҆ цѣлова́въ цр҃ковь, сни́де во а҆нтїохі́ю,
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
23 и҆ сотво́рь вре́мѧ нѣ́кое, и҆зы́де, проходѧ̀ порѧ́дꙋ галаті́йскꙋю странꙋ̀ и҆ фрѷгі́ю, ᲂу҆твержда́ѧ всѧ̑ ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
24 І҆ꙋде́анинъ же нѣ́кто, а҆поллѡ́съ и҆́менемъ, а҆леѯа́ндрѧнинъ ро́домъ, мꙋ́жъ слове́сенъ, прїи́де во є҆фе́съ, си́ленъ сы́й въ кни́гахъ.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
25 Се́й бѣ̀ ѡ҆глаше́нъ пꙋтѝ гдⷭ҇ню, и҆ горѧ̀ дꙋ́хомъ, глаго́лаше и҆ ᲂу҆ча́ше и҆звѣ́стнѡ ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ, вѣ́дый то́кмѡ креще́нїе і҆ѡа́нново.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
26 Се́й же нача́тъ дерза́ти на со́нмищихъ. Слы̑шавша же є҆го̀ а҆кѵ́ла и҆ прїскі́лла, прїѧ́ста є҆го̀ и҆ и҆звѣ́стнѣе томꙋ̀ сказа́ста пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень.
26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27 Хотѧ́щꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀ преитѝ во а҆ха́їю, предпосла́вше бра́тїѧ написа́ша ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ прїѧ́ти є҆го̀: и҆́же прише́дъ та́мѡ посо́бствова мно́гѡ вѣ́ровавшымъ блгⷣтїю:
27 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
28 тве́рдѡ бо і҆ꙋдє́и не престаѧ̀ ѡ҆блича́ше пред̾ людьмѝ, сказꙋ́ѧ писа́ньми, і҆и҃са бы́ти хрⷭ҇та̀.
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 18:18 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles (Homily XL)

    See how the Law was breaking up; see how they were bound by conscience. This, namely, was a Jewish custom, to shear their heads agreeably with a vow. But then there ought to be also a sacrifice (ch. xxi. 26), which was not the case here. --"Having yet tarried:" after the beating of Sosthenes.
