WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Μετά δε ταύτα αναχωρήσας ο Παύλος εκ των Αθηνών, ήλθεν εις Κόρινθον·
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
2 και ευρών τινά Ιουδαίον ονόματι Ακύλαν, γεγεννημένον εν Πόντω, νεωστί ελθόντα από της Ιταλίας, και Πρίσκιλλαν την γυναίκα αυτού, διότι ο Κλαύδιος είχε διατάξει να αναχωρήσωσι πάντες οι Ιουδαίοι εκ της Ρώμης, προσήλθε προς αυτούς,
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 και επειδή ήτο ομότεχνος, έμενε παρ' αυτοίς και ειργάζετο· διότι ήσαν σκηνοποιοί την τέχνην.
3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4 Διελέγετο δε εν τη συναγωγή κατά παν σάββατον και έπειθεν Ιουδαίους και Έλληνας.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 Ότε δε κατέβησαν από της Μακεδονίας ο τε Σίλας και ο Τιμόθεος, ο Παύλος συνεσφίγγετο κατά το πνεύμα διαμαρτυρόμενος προς τους Ιουδαίους ότι ο Ιησούς είναι ο Χριστός.
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 Και επειδή αυτοί ηναντιούντο και εβλασφήμουν, εκτινάξας τα ιμάτια αυτού είπε προς αυτούς· το αίμα σας επί την κεφαλήν σας· εγώ είμαι καθαρός· από του νυν θέλω υπάγει εις τα έθνη.
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 Και μεταβάς εκείθεν ήλθεν εις την οικίαν τινός ονομαζομένου Ιούστου, όστις εσέβετο τον Θεόν, του οποίου η οικία συνείχετο με την συναγωγήν.
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 Κρίσπος δε ο αρχισυνάγωγος επίστευσεν εις τον Κύριον μεθ' όλου του οίκου αυτού, και πολλοί των Κορινθίων ακούοντες επίστευον και εβαπτίζοντο.
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 Και ο Κύριος είπεν εν νυκτί προς τον Παύλον δι' οράματος· Μη φοβού, αλλά ομίλει και μη σιωπήσης,
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
10 διότι εγώ είμαι μετά σου, και ουδείς θέλει επιβάλει χείρα επί σε διά να σε κακοποιήση, διότι έχω λαόν πολύν εν τη πόλει ταύτη.
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
11 Και εκάθησεν εκεί εν έτος και μήνας εξ, διδάσκων μεταξύ αυτών τον λόγον του Θεού.
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Ότε δε ο Γαλλίων ήτο ανθύπατος της Αχαΐας, οι Ιουδαίοι εσηκώθησαν ομοθυμαδόν κατά του Παύλου και έφεραν αυτόν εις το δικαστήριον,
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 λέγοντες ότι ούτος πείθει τους ανθρώπους να λατρεύωσι τον Θεόν παρά τον νόμον.
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
14 Και ότε έμελλεν ο Παύλος να ανοίξη το στόμα, είπεν ο Γαλλίων προς τους Ιουδαίους· Εάν μεν ήτο τι αδίκημα ή ραδιούργημα πονηρόν, ω Ιουδαίοι, ευλόγως ήθελον σας υποφέρει·
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 εάν δε ήναι ζήτημα περί λέξεων και ονομάτων και του νόμου υμών, θεωρήσατε σείς· διότι εγώ κριτής τούτων δεν θέλω να γείνω.
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 Και απεδίωξεν αυτούς από του δικαστηρίου.
16 So he drove them from the judgment seat.
17 Πιάσαντες δε πάντες οι Έλληνες Σωσθένην τον αρχισυνάγωγον, έτυπτον έμπροσθεν του δικαστηρίου· και παντελώς δεν έμελε τον Γαλλίωνα περί τούτων.
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 Ο δε Παύλος, αφού προσέμεινεν έτι ημέρας ικανάς, αποχαιρετήσας τους αδελφούς, εξέπλευσεν εις την Συρίαν, και μετ' αυτού η Πρίσκιλλα και ο Ακύλας, αφού εξύρισε την κεφαλήν εν Κεγχρεαίς· διότι είχεν ευχήν.
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 Και κατήντησεν εις Έφεσον, και αφήκεν εκείνους αυτού, αυτός δε εισελθών εις την συναγωγήν, συνδιελέχθη μετά των Ιουδαίων.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Και παρακαλούμενος υπ' αυτών να μείνη πλειότερον καιρόν παρ' αυτοίς, δεν συγκατένευσεν,
20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
21 αλλά απεχαιρέτησεν αυτούς ειπών· Πρέπει εξάπαντος να κάμω την ερχομένην εορτήν εις Ιεροσόλυμα, θέλω δε επιστρέψει πάλιν προς εσάς, του Θεού θέλοντος. Και απέπλευσεν από της Εφέσου,
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 και αποβάς εις Καισάρειαν, ανέβη εις Ιερουσαλήμ, και χαιρετήσας την εκκλησίαν κατέβη εις Αντιόχειαν,
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
23 και διατρίψας καιρόν τινά, εξήλθε και διήρχετο κατά σειράν την γην της Γαλατίας και την Φρυγίαν, επιστηρίζων πάντας τους μαθητάς.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
24 Ιουδαίος δε τις ονόματι Απολλώς, Αλεξανδρεύς το γένος, ανήρ λόγιος, κατήντησεν εις Έφεσον, όστις ήτο δυνατός εν ταις γραφαίς.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
25 Ούτος ήτο κατηχημένος την οδόν του Κυρίου, και ζέων κατά το πνεύμα, ελάλει και εδίδασκεν ακριβώς τα περί του Κυρίου, γινώσκων μόνον το βάπτισμα του Ιωάννου.
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 Και ούτος ήρχισε να λαλή μετά παρρησίας εν τη συναγωγή. Ακούσαντες δε αυτόν ο Ακύλας και Πρίσκιλλα, παρέλαβον αυτόν και εξέθεσαν εις αυτόν ακριβέστερα την οδόν του Θεού.
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 Επειδή δε ήθελε να περάση εις την Αχαΐαν, οι αδελφοί έγραψαν προς τους μαθητάς, προτρέποντες να δεχθώσιν αυτόν· όστις ελθών, ωφέλησε πολύ τους πιστεύσαντας διά της χάριτος·
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 διότι εντόνως εξήλεγχε τους Ιουδαίους, δημοσία αποδεικνύων διά των γραφών ότι ο Ιησούς είναι ο Χριστός.
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.
