PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Y después que cesó el alboroto, llamando Pablo á los discípulos, y haciéndoles una exhortacion, se despidió de ellos, y se partió para ir á Macedonia.
1 Μετὰ δὲ τὸ παύσασθαι τὸν θόρυβον προσκαλεσάμενος ὁ Παῦλος τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ ἀσπασάμενος ἐξῆλθε πορευθῆναι εἰς Μακεδονίαν.
2 Y después que hubo andado aquellas tierras, y de haberles exhortado allí con muchas palabras, se vino á la Grecia.
2 διελθὼν δὲ τὰ μέρη ἐκεῖνα καὶ παρακαλέσας αὐτοὺς λόγῳ πολλῷ ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν Ἑλλάδα·
3 En donde habiendo estado tres meses, le fuéron puestas asechanzas por los Judíos, estando él para navegar á la Syria: y asi acordó volverse por Macedonia.
3 ποιήσας τε μῆνας τρεῖς, γενομένης αὐτῷ ἐπιβουλῆς ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων μέλλοντι ἀνάγεσθαι εἰς τὴν Συρίαν, ἐγένετο γνώμη τοῦ ὑποστρέφειν διὰ Μακεδονίας.
4 Y le acompañáron Sopatro de Beréa, hijo de Pyrrho: y de los de Thesalónica, Aristarcho, y Secundo, y Gayo Derbéo, y Thimothéo: y de los de Asia, Tychico, y Trophimo.
4 συνείπετο δὲ αὐτῷ ἄχρι τῆς Ἀσίας Σώπατρος Βεροιαῖος, Θεσσαλονικέων δὲ Ἀρίσταρχος καὶ Σεκοῦνδος, καὶ Γάϊος Δερβαῖος καὶ Τιμόθεος, Ἀσιανοὶ δὲ Τυχικὸς καὶ Τρόφιμος.
5 Estos fuéron delante, y nos esperáron en Troade.
5 οὗτοι προελθόντες ἔμενον ἡμᾶς ἐν Τρῳάδι·
6 Y nosotros después de los días de los Azymos nos hicimos á la vela desde Philipos, y llegamos á ellos á Troade en cinco días, y nos detuvimos allí siete días.
6 ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐξεπλεύσαμεν μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας τῶν ἀζύμων ἀπὸ Φιλίππων καὶ ἤλθομεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν Τρῳάδα ἄχρις ἡμερῶν πέντε, οὗ διετρίψαμεν ἡμέρας ἑπτά.
7 Y el primer día de la semana, habiéndonos juntado para partir el pan, Pablo que se había de ir al otro día, disputaba con ellos, y fué alargando el discurso hasta media noche.
7 Ἐν δὲ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων συνηγμένων τῶν μαθητῶν κλάσαι ἄρτον, ὁ Παῦλος διελέγετο αὐτοῖς, μέλλων ἐξιέναι τῇ ἐπαύριον, παρέτεινέ τε τὸν λόγον μέχρι μεσονυκτίου.
8 Y había muchas lámparas en el cenáculo, en donde estábamos congregados.
8 ἦσαν δὲ λαμπάδες ἱκαναὶ ἐν τῷ ὑπερῴῳ οὗ ἦμεν συνηγμένοι.
9 Y un mancebo, por nombre Eútycho, se sentó sobre una ventana, y como se durmiese profundamente entre tanto que Pablo prolongaba su razonamiento, llevado del sueño, cayó abaxo desde el tercer alto de la casa, y lo alzáron muerto.
9 καθήμενος δέ τις νεανίας ὀνόματι Εὔτυχος ἐπὶ τῆς θυρίδος, καταφερόμενος ὕπνῳ βαθεῖ διαλεγομένου τοῦ Παύλου ἐπὶ πλεῖον, κατενεχθεὶς ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕπνου ἔπεσεν ἀπὸ τοῦ τριστέγου κάτω καὶ ἤρθη νεκρός.
10 Al qual habiendo descendido Pablo, se recostó sobre él, y abrazándolo dixo: No os turbéis, que su alma en él está.
10 καταβὰς δὲ ὁ Παῦλος ἐπέπεσεν αὐτῷ καὶ συμπεριλαβὼν εἶπε· μὴ θορυβεῖσθε· ἡ γὰρ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ ἐστιν.
11 Y subiendo y partiendo el pan, comió, y les habló largamente hasta que fué de día, y después se fué.
11 ἀναβὰς δὲ καὶ κλάσας ἄρτον καὶ γευσάμενος, ἐφ᾽ ἱκανόν τε ὁμιλήσας ἄχρις αὐγῆς, οὕτως ἐξῆλθεν.
12 Y lleváron vivo al mancebo, de lo que recibieron extraordinario consuelo.
12 ἤγαγον δὲ τὸν παῖδα ζῶντα, καὶ παρεκλήθησαν οὐ μετρίως.
13 Mas nosotros entrando en el navío, fuimos á Asón, para recibir de allí á Pablo: porque así lo habia él dispuesto, debiendo hacer el viage por tierra.
13 Ἡμεῖς δὲ προελθόντες ἐπὶ τὸ πλοῖον ἀνήχθημεν εἰς τὴν Ἄσσον, ἐκεῖθεν μέλλοντες ἀναλαμβάνειν τὸν Παῦλον· οὕτω γὰρ ἦν διατεταγμένος, μέλλων αὐτὸς πεζεύειν.
14 Y habién lose juntado con nosotros en Asón, lo tomamos, y fuimos á Mitylene.
14 ὡς δὲ συνέβαλεν ἡμῖν εἰς τὴν Ἄσσον, ἀναλαβόντες αὐτὸν ἤλθομεν εἰς Μιτυλήνην·
15 Y navegando desde allí el día siguiente, nos pusimos enfrente de Chîo; y al otro, tomamos puerto en Samos, y en el siguiente llegamos á Mileto.
15 κἀκεῖθεν ἀποπλεύσαντες τῇ ἐπιούσῃ κατηντήσαμεν ἀντικρὺ Χίου, τῇ δὲ ἑτέρᾳ παρεβάλομεν εἰς Σάμον, καὶ μείναντες ἐν Τρωγυλίῳ τῇ ἐχομένῃ ἤλθομεν εἰς Μίλητον.
16 Porque Pablo había determinado pasar adelante de Epheso por no detenerse en el Asia: pues se apresuraba quanto le era posible, por celebrar en Jerusalém el día de Pentecostes.
16 ἔκρινε γὰρ ὁ Παῦλος παραπλεῦσαι τὴν Ἔφεσον, ὅπως μὴ γένηται αὐτῷ χρονοτριβῆσαι ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ· ἔσπευδε γάρ, εἰ δυνατὸν ἦν αὐτῷ, τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς Πεντηκοστῆς γενέσθαι εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
17 Y enviando desde Mileto á Epheso, llamó á los Ancianos de la Iglesia.
17 Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς Μιλήτου πέμψας εἰς Ἔφεσον μετεκαλέσατο τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς ἐκκλησίας.
18 Ellos vinieron á él, y estando todos juntos, les dixo: Vosotros sabéis desde el primer día que entré en el Asia, de qué manera me he portado todo el tiempo que he estado con vosotros,
18 ὡς δὲ παρεγένοντο πρὸς αὐτόν, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε, ἀπὸ πρώτης ἡμέρας ἀφ᾽ ἧς ἐπέβην εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν, πῶς μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν τὸν πάντα χρόνον ἐγενόμην,
19 Sirviendo al Señor con toda humildad y con lágrimas y con tentaciones, que me viniéron por las asechanzas de los Judíos:
19 δουλεύων τῷ Κυρίῳ μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ πολλῶν δακρύων καὶ πειρασμῶν τῶν συμβάντων μοι ἐν ταῖς ἐπιβουλαῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων,
20 Como nada que os fuese útil me he retraído de decíroslo, y de enseñaros en público y por las casas,
20 ὡς οὐδὲν ὑπεστειλάμην τῶν συμφερόντων τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι ὑμῖν καὶ διδάξαι ὑμᾶς δημοσίᾳ καὶ κατ᾽ οἴκους,
21 Predicando á los Judíos y á los Gentiles la conversión á Dios, y la fé en nuestro Señor Jesu-Christo.
21 διαμαρτυρόμενος Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἕλλησι τὴν εἰς [τὸν] Θεὸν μετάνοιαν καὶ πίστιν τὴν εἰς τὸν Κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν [Χριστόν].
22 Y ahora he aqui que yo, constreñido del Espíritu, voy á Jerusalém: no sabiendo las cosas, que allí me han de acontecer:
22 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δεδεμένος τῷ πνεύματι πορεύομαι εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ συναντήσοντά μοι μὴ εἰδώς,
23 Sino lo que el Espíritu Santo me asegura por todas las ciudades, diciendo: que me aguardan en Jerusalém prisiones y tribulaciones.
23 πλὴν ὅτι τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον κατὰ πόλιν διαμαρτύρεται λέγον ὅτι δεσμά με καὶ θλίψεις μένουσιν.
24 Mas no temo ninguna de éstas cosas, ni hago mi propia vida mas preciosa que á mí mismo con tal que acabe mi carrera, y el ministerio de la palabra, que recibí del Señor Jesús, para dar testimonio del Evangelio de la gracia de Dios.
24 ἀλλ᾽ οὐδενὸς λόγον ποιοῦμαι οὐδὲ ἔχω τὴν ψυχήν μου τιμίαν ἐμαυτῷ, ὡς τελειῶσαι τὸν δρόμον μου μετὰ χαρᾶς καὶ τὴν διακονίαν ἣν ἔλαβον παρὰ τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, διαμαρτύρασθαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Θεοῦ.
25 Y ahora he aquí yo sé que no vereis mas mi cara todos vosotros, por los quales he pasado predicando el reyno de Dios.
25 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ οἶδα ὅτι οὐκέτι ὄψεσθε τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ὑμεῖς πάντες, ἐν οἷς διῆλθον κηρύσσων τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
26 Por tanto os protesto en éste día, que estoy limpio de la sangre de todos.
26 διὸ μαρτύρομαι ὑμῖν ἐν τῇ σήμερον ἡμέρᾳ ὅτι καθαρὸς ἐγὼ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος πάντων·
27 Porque no he rehusado el anunciaros todo el consejo de Dios.
27 οὐ γὰρ ὑπεστειλάμην τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι ὑμῖν πᾶσαν τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
28 Mirad por vosotros y por toda la grey, en la qual el Espíritu Santo os ha puesto por Obispos para gobernar la Iglesia de Dios, la qual él ganó con su sangre.
28 προσέχετε οὖν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ παντὶ τῷ ποιμνίῳ ἐν ᾧ ὑμᾶς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον ἔθετο ἐπισκόπους, ποιμαίνειν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ Θεοῦ, ἣν περιεποιήσατο διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος.
29 Yo sé, que después de mi partida entrarán á vosotros lobos arrebatadores, que no perdonarán á la grey.
29 ἐγὼ γὰρ οἶδα τοῦτο, ὅτι εἰσελεύσονται μετὰ τὴν ἄφιξίν μου λύκοι βαρεῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς μὴ φειδόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου·
30 Y de entre vosotros mismos se levantarán hombres, que dirán cosas perversas, para llevar discípulos tras de sí.
30 καὶ ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν ἀναστήσονται ἄνδρες λαλοῦντες διεστραμμένα τοῦ ἀποσπᾶν τοὺς μαθητὰς ὀπίσω αὐτῶν.
31 Por tanto velad, teniendo en memoria, que por tres años no he cesado noche y día de amonestar con lágrimas á cada uno de vosotros.
31 διὸ γρηγορεῖτε, μνημονεύοντες ὅτι τριετίαν νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν οὐκ ἐπαυσάμην μετὰ δακρύων νουθετῶν ἕνα ἕκαστον.
32 Y ahora os encomiendo á Dios, y á la palabra de su gracia, á aquel que es poderoso para edificar, y daros heredad entre todos los que son santificados.
32 καὶ τὰ νῦν παρατίθεμαι ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, τῷ Θεῷ καὶ τῷ λόγῳ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ τῷ δυναμένῳ ἐποικοδομῆσαι καὶ δοῦναι ὑμῖν κληρονομίαν ἐν τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις πᾶσιν.
33 No he codiciado plata, ni oro, ni vestido de ninguno, como
33 ἀργυρίου ἢ χρυσίου ἢ ἱματισμοῦ οὐδενὸς ἐπεθύμησα·
34 Vosotros mismos lo sabéis: porque éstas manos me han subministrado las cosas necesarias á mí, y á los que están conmigo.
34 αὐτοὶ γινώσκετε ὅτι ταῖς χρείαις μου καὶ τοῖς οὖσι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ὑπηρέτησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὗται.
35 En todo os he mostrado, que trabajando de ésta manera, conviene recibir los enfermos, y acordarse de aquellas palabras que dixo el Señor: Cosa mas bienaventurada es dar, que recibir.
35 πάντα ὑπέδειξα ὑμῖν ὅτι οὕτω κοπιῶντας δεῖ ἀντιλαμβάνεσθαι τῶν ἀσθενούντων, μνημονεύειν τε τὸν λόγον τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπε· μακάριόν ἐστι μᾶλλον διδόναι ἢ λαμβάνειν.
36 Y habiendo dicho esto, se hincó de rodillas, é hizo oración con todos ellos.
36 καὶ ταῦτα εἰπών, θεὶς τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ σὺν πᾶσιν αὐτοῖς προσηύξατο.
37 Y se levantó grande llanto entre todos: y derribándose sobre el cuello de Pablo, le besaban,
37 ἱκανὸς δὲ ἐγένετο κλαυθμὸς πάντων, καὶ ἐπιπεσόντες ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ Παύλου κατεφίλουν αὐτόν,
38 Afligidos en gran manera por la palabra que habia dicho, que no verían mas su cara. Y le fuéron acompañando hasta el navío.
38 ὀδυνώμενοι μάλιστα ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ ᾧ εἰρήκει, ὅτι οὐκέτι μέλλουσι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ θεωρεῖν. προέπεμπον δὲ αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον.

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 20:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles (Homily XLIII)

    There was need of much comforting after that uproar. Accordingly, having done this, he goes into Macedonia, and then into Greece. For, it says, "when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, and there abode three months.

    Moreover, ye were all distinguished by humility, and were in no respect puffed up with pride, but yielded obedience rather than extorted it, and were more willing to give than to receive.

    Therefore also with regard to Paul, that he wept, that he did so three years night and day, both he hath said of himself, and others say this of him; but that he laughed, neither hath he said himself anywhere, neither hath so much as one other of the saints, either concerning him, or any other like him; but this …
