Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ενώ δε ο Απολλώς ήτο εν Κορίνθω, ο Παύλος αφού επέρασε τα ανωτερικά μέρη ήλθεν εις Εφεσον· και ευρών τινάς μαθητάς,
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
2 είπε προς αυτούς· Ελάβετε Πνεύμα Άγιον αφού επιστεύσατε; οι δε είπον προς αυτόν· Αλλ' ουδέ αν υπάρχη Πνεύμα Άγιον ηκούσαμεν.
2 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 Και είπε προς αυτούς· Εις τι λοιπόν εβαπτίσθητε; Οι δε είπον· Εις το βάπτισμα του Ιωάννου.
3 He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
4 Και είπεν ο Παύλος· Ο Ιωάννης μεν εβάπτισε βάπτισμα μετανοίας, λέγων προς τον λαόν να πιστεύσωσιν εις τον ερχόμενον μετ' αυτόν, τουτέστιν εις τον Χριστόν Ιησούν.
4 Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”
5 Ακούσαντες δε εβαπτίσθησαν εις το όνομα του Κυρίου Ιησού.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 Και αφού ο Παύλος επέθηκεν επ' αυτών τας χείρας, ήλθε το Πνεύμα το Άγιον επ' αυτούς, και ελάλουν γλώσσας και προεφήτευον.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
7 Ήσαν δε πάντες ούτοι άνδρες έως δώδεκα.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
8 Και εισελθών εις την συναγωγήν ελάλει μετά παρρησίας, διαλεγόμενος τρεις μήνας και πείθων εις τα περί της βασιλείας του Θεού.
8 He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.
9 Επειδή όμως τινές εσκληρύνοντο και δεν επείθοντο, κακολογούντες την οδόν του Κυρίου ενώπιον του πλήθους, απομακρυνθείς απ' αυτών, απεχώρισε τους μαθητάς, διαλεγόμενος καθ' ημέραν εν τω σχολείω τινός, όστις ελέγετο Τύραννος.
9 But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
10 Έγεινε δε τούτο επί δύο έτη, ώστε πάντες οι κατοικούντες την Ασίαν ήκουσαν τον λόγον του Κυρίου Ιησού, Ιουδαίοί τε και Έλληνες.
10 This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11 Και ο Θεός έκαμνε διά των χειρών του Παύλου θαύματα μεγάλα,
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 ώστε και επί τους ασθενείς εφέροντο από του σώματος αυτού μανδήλια ή περιζώματα και έφευγον απ' αυτών αι ασθένειαι, και τα πνεύματα τα πονηρά εξήρχοντο απ' αυτών.
12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
13 Και τινές από των περιερχομένων εξορκιστών Ιουδαίων επεχείρησαν να προφέρωσιν επί τους έχοντας τα πνεύματα τα πονηρά το όνομα του Κυρίου Ιησού, λέγοντες· Σας ορκίζομεν εις τον Ιησούν, τον οποίον ο Παύλος κηρύττει.
13 But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
14 Και οι πράττοντες τούτο ήσαν επτά τινές υιοί Ιουδαίου αρχιερέως ονομαζομένου Σκευά.
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
15 Αποκριθέν δε το πνεύμα το πονηρόν, είπε· Τον Ιησούν γνωρίζω και τον Παύλον εξεύρω· σεις δε τίνες είσθε;
15 The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
16 Και πηδήσας επ' αυτούς ο άνθρωπος, εις τον οποίον ήτο το πνεύμα το πονηρόν, και νικήσας αυτούς, ίσχυσε κατ' αυτών, ώστε γυμνοί και τετραυματισμένοι έφυγον εκ του οίκου εκείνου.
16 The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 Και τούτο έγεινε γνωστόν εις πάντας, Ιουδαίους τε και Έλληνας, τους κατοικούντας την Έφεσον, και επέπεσε φόβος επί πάντας αυτούς, και εμεγαλύνετο το όνομα του Κυρίου Ιησού·
17 This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 και πολλοί των πιστευσάντων ήρχοντο εξομολογούμενοι και φανερόνοντες τας πράξεις αυτών.
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
19 Πολλοί δε και εξ εκείνων, οίτινες έκαμνον τας μαγείας, φέροντες τα βιβλία αυτών κατέκαιον ενώπιον πάντων· και αριθμήσαντες τας τιμάς αυτών, εύρον πεντήκοντα χιλιάδας αργυρίου.
19 Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 Ούτω κραταιώς ηύξανε και ίσχυεν ο λόγος του Κυρίου.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
21 Ως δε ετελέσθησαν ταύτα, ο Παύλος απεφάσισεν εν εαυτώ, αφού διέλθη την Μακεδονίαν και Αχαΐαν, να υπάγη εις την Ιερουσαλήμ, ειπών ότι αφού υπάγω εκεί, πρέπει να ίδω και την Ρώμην.
21 Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
22 Και αποστείλας εις την Μακεδονίαν δύο των υπηρετούντων αυτόν, Τιμόθεον και Έραστον, αυτός έμεινε καιρόν τινά εν τη Ασία.
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
23 Έγεινε δε κατ' εκείνον τον καιρόν ταραχή ουκ ολίγη περί ταύτης της οδού.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
24 Διότι αργυροκόπος τις ονόματι Δημήτριος, κατασκευάζων ναούς αργυρούς της Αρτέμιδος, επροξένει εις τους τεχνίτας ουκ ολίγον κέρδος·
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
25 τους οποίους συναθροίσας και τους εργαζομένους τα τοιαύτα, είπεν· Άνδρες, εξεύρετε ότι εκ ταύτης της εργασίας προέρχεται η ευπορία ημών,
25 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
26 και θεωρείτε και ακούετε ότι πολύν λαόν ου μόνον της Εφέσου, αλλά σχεδόν πάσης της Ασίας ο Παύλος ούτος έπεισε και μετέβαλε, λέγων ότι δεν είναι θεοί οι διά χειρών κατασκευαζόμενοι.
26 You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands.
27 Και ου μόνον η τέχνη ημών αύτη κινδυνεύει να εξουδενωθή, αλλά και το ιερόν της μεγάλης θεάς Αρτέμιδος να λογισθή εις ουδέν, και μέλλει μάλιστα να καταστραφή η μεγαλειότης αυτής, την οποίαν όλη η Ασία και η οικουμένη σέβεται.
27 Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
28 Ακούσαντες δε και εμπλησθέντες θυμού, έκραζον λέγοντες· Μεγάλη η Άρτεμις των Εφεσίων.
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
29 Και η πόλις όλη επλήσθη ταραχής, και ώρμησαν ομοθυμαδόν εις το θέατρον, αφού συνήρπασαν τον Γάϊον και Αρίσταρχον τους Μακεδόνας, συνοδοιπόρους του Παύλου.
29 The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.
30 Ενώ δε ο Παύλος ήθελε να εισέλθη εις τον δήμον, οι μαθηταί δεν άφινον αυτόν,
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
31 τινές δε και εκ των Ασιαρχών, όντες φίλοι αυτού, έστειλαν προς αυτόν και παρεκάλουν να μη εκτεθή εις το θέατρον.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
32 Άλλοι μεν λοιπόν έκραζον άλλο τι και άλλοι άλλο· διότι η σύναξις ήτο συγκεχυμένη, και οι πλειότεροι δεν ήξευρον διά τι είχον συναχθή.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.
33 Εκ δε του όχλου προήγαγον τον Αλέξανδρον, διά να λαλήση, επειδή οι Ιουδαίοι επρόβαλον αυτόν· και ο Αλέξανδρος σείσας την χείρα ήθελε να απολογηθή προς τον δήμον.
33 They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
34 Αφού δε εγνώρισαν ότι είναι Ιουδαίος, έγεινε μία φωνή εκ πάντων των κραζόντων, έως δύο ώρας· Μεγάλη η Άρτεμις των Εφεσίων.
34 But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
35 Καθησυχάσας δε ο γραμματεύς τον όχλον, λέγει· Άνδρες Εφέσιοι, και τις άνθρωπος είναι όστις δεν εξεύρει ότι η πόλις των Εφεσίων είναι λάτρις της μεγάλης θεάς Αρτέμιδος και του Διοπετούς αγάλματος;
35 When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
36 Επειδή λοιπόν ταύτα είναι αναντίρρητα, πρέπει σεις να ησυχάζητε και να μη πράττητε μηδέν προπετές.
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
37 Διότι εφέρετε τους άνδρας τούτους, οίτινες ούτε ιερόσυλοι είναι ούτε την θεάν σας βλασφημούσιν.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
38 Εάν μεν λοιπόν ο Δημήτριος και οι συντεχνίται αυτού έχωσι διαφοράν μετά τινός, υπάρχουσι δικάσιμοι ημέραι και υπάρχουσιν ανθύπατοι, ας εγκαλέσωσιν αλλήλους.
38 If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
39 Εάν δε ζητήτε τι περί άλλων πραγμάτων, εν τη νομίμω συνελεύσει θέλει διαλυθή.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
40 Διότι κινδυνεύομεν να κατηγορηθώμεν ως στασιασταί διά την σημερινήν ταραχήν, χωρίς να υπάρχη μηδεμία αιτία, διά της οποίας θέλομεν δυνηθή να δικαιολογήσωμεν τον θόρυβον τούτον.
40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”
41 Και ειπών ταύτα, απέλυσε την συνέλευσιν.
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

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 19:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles (Homily XLI)

    (a) See him in every place forcing his way into the synagogue, and in this manner departing thence. For in every place, he wished to have the occasion given him by them. (c) He wished to separate the disciples thence, and to have the beginning for ceasing to assemble with them, given by (the Jews) themselves.
