Chapter 23

Phonetic (Greek): atenisas de ⸂ho Paylos tῷ synedriῳ⸃ eipen· Ἄndres adelphoi, ego pasῃ syneidesei agathῇ pepoliteumai tῷ theῷ achri taytes tes hemeras.

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Paul, looking earnestly at the council, said, "Men and brothers, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day."

ἀτενίσας δὲ ⸂ὁ Παῦλος τῷ συνεδρίῳ⸃ εἶπεν· Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ἐγὼ πάσῃ συνειδήσει ἀγαθῇ πεπολίτευμαι τῷ θεῷ ἄχρι ταύτης τῆς ἡμέρας.

Phonetic (Greek): ho de archiereys Ἁnanias epetaxen tois parestosin aytῷ typtein aytoy to stoma.

Edified Edition (EDE)And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

ὁ δὲ ἀρχιερεὺς Ἁνανίας ἐπέταξεν τοῖς παρεστῶσιν αὐτῷ τύπτειν αὐτοῦ τὸ στόμα.

Phonetic (Greek): tote ho Paylos pros ayton eipen· Typtein se mellei ho theos, toiche kekoniamene· kai sy kathῃ krinon me kata ton nomon, kai paranomon keleyeis me typtesthai;

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! For do you sit to judge me according to the law, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?"

τότε ὁ Παῦλος πρὸς αὐτὸν εἶπεν· Τύπτειν σε μέλλει ὁ θεός, τοῖχε κεκονιαμένε· καὶ σὺ κάθῃ κρίνων με κατὰ τὸν νόμον, καὶ παρανομῶν κελεύεις με τύπτεσθαι;

Phonetic (Greek): ohi de parestotes eipan· Ton archierea toy theoy loidoreis;

Edified Edition (EDE)And those who stood by said, "Do you revile God’s high priest?"

οἱ δὲ παρεστῶτες εἶπαν· Τὸν ἀρχιερέα τοῦ θεοῦ λοιδορεῖς;

Phonetic (Greek): ephe te ho Paylos· Oyk edein, adelphoi, hoti estin archiereys· gegraptai gar ⸀hoti Ἄrchonta toy laoy sou oyk ereis kakos.

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Paul said, "I did not know, brothers, that he was the high priest; for it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’"

ἔφη τε ὁ Παῦλος· Οὐκ ᾔδειν, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι ἐστὶν ἀρχιερεύς· γέγραπται γὰρ ⸀ὅτι Ἄρχοντα τοῦ λαοῦ σου οὐκ ἐρεῖς κακῶς.

Phonetic (Greek): Gnoys de ho Paylos hoti to hen meros estin Saddoukaion to de heteron Pharisaion ⸀ekrazen en tῷ synedriῳ· Ἄndres adelphoi, ego Pharisaios eimi, yhios ⸀Pharisaion· peri elpidos kai anastaseos nekron ⸀ego krinomai.

Edified Edition (EDE)But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!"

Γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Παῦλος ὅτι τὸ ἓν μέρος ἐστὶν Σαδδουκαίων τὸ δὲ ἕτερον Φαρισαίων ⸀ἔκραζεν ἐν τῷ συνεδρίῳ· Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ἐγὼ Φαρισαῖός εἰμι, υἱὸς ⸀Φαρισαίων· περὶ ἐλπίδος καὶ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν ⸀ἐγὼ κρίνομαι.

Phonetic (Greek): toyto de aytoy ⸀laloyntos egeneto stasis ton Pharisaion ⸂kai Saddoukaion⸃, kai eschisthe to plethos.

Edified Edition (EDE)And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.

τοῦτο δὲ αὐτοῦ ⸀λαλοῦντος ἐγένετο στάσις τῶν Φαρισαίων ⸂καὶ Σαδδουκαίων⸃, καὶ ἐσχίσθη τὸ πλῆθος.

Phonetic (Greek): Saddoukaioi ⸀men gar legousin me einai anastasin ⸀mete angelon mete pneyma, Pharisaioi de homologoysin ta amphotera.

Edified Edition (EDE)For Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.

Σαδδουκαῖοι ⸀μὲν γὰρ λέγουσιν μὴ εἶναι ἀνάστασιν ⸀μήτε ἄγγελον μήτε πνεῦμα, Φαρισαῖοι δὲ ὁμολογοῦσιν τὰ ἀμφότερα.

Phonetic (Greek): egeneto de krauge megale, kai anastantes ⸂tines ton grammateon⸃ toy merous ton Pharisaion diemachonto legontes· Oyden kakon ehyriskomen en tῷ anthropῳ toytῳ· ei de pneyma elalesen aytῷ e ⸀angelos—

Edified Edition (EDE)Then there arose a loud outcry. And the scribes of the Pharisees’ party arose and protested, saying, "We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God."

ἐγένετο δὲ κραυγὴ μεγάλη, καὶ ἀναστάντες ⸂τινὲς τῶν γραμματέων⸃ τοῦ μέρους τῶν Φαρισαίων διεμάχοντο λέγοντες· Οὐδὲν κακὸν εὑρίσκομεν ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ· εἰ δὲ πνεῦμα ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ ἢ ⸀ἄγγελος—

Phonetic (Greek): polles de ⸀ginomenes staseos ⸀phobetheis ho chiliarchos me diaspasthῇ ho Paylos hypʼ ayton ekeleusen to strateuma ⸀kataban harpasai ayton ek mesou ayton, agein ⸀te eis ten parembolen.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

πολλῆς δὲ ⸀γινομένης στάσεως ⸀φοβηθεὶς ὁ χιλίαρχος μὴ διασπασθῇ ὁ Παῦλος ὑπʼ αὐτῶν ἐκέλευσεν τὸ στράτευμα ⸀καταβὰν ἁρπάσαι αὐτὸν ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν, ἄγειν ⸀τε εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν.

Phonetic (Greek): Tῇ de epioysῃ nykti epistas aytῷ ho kyrios eipen· ⸀Tharsei, hos gar diemartyro ta peri emoy eis Ἰerousalem ohyto se dei kai eis Ῥomen martyresai.

Edified Edition (EDE)But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome."

Τῇ δὲ ἐπιούσῃ νυκτὶ ἐπιστὰς αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος εἶπεν· ⸀Θάρσει, ὡς γὰρ διεμαρτύρω τὰ περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ οὕτω σε δεῖ καὶ εἰς Ῥώμην μαρτυρῆσαι.

Phonetic (Greek): Genomenes de hemeras poiesantes ⸂systrophen ohi Ἰoudaioi⸃ anethematisan heautoys legontes mete phagein mete piein heos ohy apokteinosin ton Paylon.

Edified Edition (EDE)And when it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

Γενομένης δὲ ἡμέρας ποιήσαντες ⸂συστροφὴν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι⸃ ἀνεθεμάτισαν ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες μήτε φαγεῖν μήτε πιεῖν ἕως οὗ ἀποκτείνωσιν τὸν Παῦλον.

Phonetic (Greek): esan de pleious tesserakonta ohi tayten ten synomosian ⸀poiesamenoi·

Edified Edition (EDE)Now there were more than forty who had formed this conspiracy.

ἦσαν δὲ πλείους τεσσεράκοντα οἱ ταύτην τὴν συνωμοσίαν ⸀ποιησάμενοι·

Phonetic (Greek): ohitines proselthontes tois archiereysin kai tois presbyterois eipan· Ἀnathemati anethematisamen heautoys medenos geysasthai heos ohy apokteinomen ton Paylon.

Edified Edition (EDE)They came to the chief priests and elders, and said, "We have bound ourselves under a great oath that we will eat nothing until we have killed Paul.

οἵτινες προσελθόντες τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις εἶπαν· Ἀναθέματι ἀνεθεματίσαμεν ἑαυτοὺς μηδενὸς γεύσασθαι ἕως οὗ ἀποκτείνωμεν τὸν Παῦλον.

Phonetic (Greek): nyn oyn hymeis emphanisate tῷ chiliarchῳ syn tῷ synedriῳ ⸀hopos ⸂katagagῃ ayton eis⸃ hymas hos mellontas diaginoskein akribesteron ta peri aytoy· hemeis de pro toy engisai ayton hetoimoi esmen toy anelein ayton.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now therefore, you, with the council, suggest to the commander that he be brought down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to make further enquiries concerning him; but we are ready to kill him before he comes near."

νῦν οὖν ὑμεῖς ἐμφανίσατε τῷ χιλιάρχῳ σὺν τῷ συνεδρίῳ ⸀ὅπως ⸂καταγάγῃ αὐτὸν εἰς⸃ ὑμᾶς ὡς μέλλοντας διαγινώσκειν ἀκριβέστερον τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ· ἡμεῖς δὲ πρὸ τοῦ ἐγγίσαι αὐτὸν ἕτοιμοί ἐσμεν τοῦ ἀνελεῖν αὐτόν.

Phonetic (Greek): Ἀkoysas de ho yhios tes adelphes Paylou ⸂ten enedran⸃ paragenomenos kai eiselthon eis ten parembolen apengeilen tῷ Paylῳ.

Edified Edition (EDE)So when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.

Ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀδελφῆς Παύλου ⸂τὴν ἐνέδραν⸃ παραγενόμενος καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Παύλῳ.

Phonetic (Greek): proskalesamenos de ho Paylos hena ton hekatontarchon ephe· Ton neanian toyton ⸀apage pros ton chiliarchon, echei gar ⸂apangeilai ti⸃ aytῷ.

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, "Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to tell him."

προσκαλεσάμενος δὲ ὁ Παῦλος ἕνα τῶν ἑκατονταρχῶν ἔφη· Τὸν νεανίαν τοῦτον ⸀ἄπαγε πρὸς τὸν χιλίαρχον, ἔχει γὰρ ⸂ἀπαγγεῖλαί τι⸃ αὐτῷ.

Phonetic (Greek): ho men oyn paralabon ayton egagen pros ton chiliarchon kai phesin· Ὁ desmios Paylos proskalesamenos me erotesen toyton ton ⸀neanian agagein pros se, echonta ti lalesai soi.

Edified Edition (EDE)So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, "Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you."

ὁ μὲν οὖν παραλαβὼν αὐτὸν ἤγαγεν πρὸς τὸν χιλίαρχον καὶ φησίν· Ὁ δέσμιος Παῦλος προσκαλεσάμενός με ἠρώτησεν τοῦτον τὸν ⸀νεανίαν ἀγαγεῖν πρὸς σέ, ἔχοντά τι λαλῆσαί σοι.

Phonetic (Greek): epilabomenos de tes cheiros aytoy ho chiliarchos kai anachoresas katʼ idian epynthaneto· Ti estin ho echeis apangeilai moi;

Edified Edition (EDE)Then the commander took him by the hand, went aside privately, and asked, "What is it that you have to tell me?"

ἐπιλαβόμενος δὲ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ χιλίαρχος καὶ ἀναχωρήσας κατʼ ἰδίαν ἐπυνθάνετο· Τί ἐστιν ὃ ἔχεις ἀπαγγεῖλαί μοι;

Phonetic (Greek): eipen de hoti Ohi Ἰoudaioi synethento toy erotesai se hopos ayrion ⸂ton Paylon katagagῃs eis to synedrion⸃ hos ⸀mellon ti akribesteron pynthanesthai peri aytoy·

Edified Edition (EDE)And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask that you bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to enquire more fully about him.

εἶπεν δὲ ὅτι Οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι συνέθεντο τοῦ ἐρωτῆσαί σε ὅπως αὔριον ⸂τὸν Παῦλον καταγάγῃς εἰς τὸ συνέδριον⸃ ὡς ⸀μέλλον τι ἀκριβέστερον πυνθάνεσθαι περὶ αὐτοῦ·

Phonetic (Greek): sy oyn me peisthῇs aytois, enedreyousin gar ayton ex ayton andres pleious tesserakonta, ohitines anethematisan heautoys mete phagein mete piein heos ohy anelosin ayton, kai nyn ⸂eisin hetoimoi⸃ prosdechomenoi ten apo soy epangelian.

Edified Edition (EDE)But do not yield to them, for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, men who have bound themselves by an oath that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him; and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you."

σὺ οὖν μὴ πεισθῇς αὐτοῖς, ἐνεδρεύουσιν γὰρ αὐτὸν ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες πλείους τεσσεράκοντα, οἵτινες ἀνεθεμάτισαν ἑαυτοὺς μήτε φαγεῖν μήτε πιεῖν ἕως οὗ ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν, καὶ νῦν ⸂εἰσιν ἕτοιμοι⸃ προσδεχόμενοι τὴν ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐπαγγελίαν.

Phonetic (Greek): ho men oyn chiliarchos apelyse ton ⸀neaniskon parangeilas medeni eklalesai hoti tayta enephanisas pros ⸀eme.

Edified Edition (EDE)So the commander let the young man depart, and commanded him, "Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me."

ὁ μὲν οὖν χιλίαρχος ἀπέλυσε τὸν ⸀νεανίσκον παραγγείλας μηδενὶ ἐκλαλῆσαι ὅτι ταῦτα ἐνεφάνισας πρὸς ⸀ἐμέ.

Phonetic (Greek): Kai proskalesamenos ⸂tinas dyo⸃ ton hekatontarchon eipen· Ἑtoimasate stratiotas diakosious hopos poreuthosin heos Kaisareias, kai hippeis hebdomekonta kai dexiolabous diakosious, apo trites horas tes nyktos,

Edified Edition (EDE)And he called for two centurions, saying, "Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night;

Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενός ⸂τινας δύο⸃ τῶν ἑκατονταρχῶν εἶπεν· Ἑτοιμάσατε στρατιώτας διακοσίους ὅπως πορευθῶσιν ἕως Καισαρείας, καὶ ἱππεῖς ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ δεξιολάβους διακοσίους, ἀπὸ τρίτης ὥρας τῆς νυκτός,

Phonetic (Greek): ktene te parastesai hina epibibasantes ton Paylon diasososi pros Phelika ton hegemona,

Edified Edition (EDE)and provide mounts to set Paul on, and bring him safely to Felix the governor."

κτήνη τε παραστῆσαι ἵνα ἐπιβιβάσαντες τὸν Παῦλον διασώσωσι πρὸς Φήλικα τὸν ἡγεμόνα,

Phonetic (Greek): grapsas epistolen ⸀echousan ton typon toyton·

Edified Edition (EDE)He wrote a letter in the following manner:

γράψας ἐπιστολὴν ⸀ἔχουσαν τὸν τύπον τοῦτον·

Phonetic (Greek): Klaydios Lysias tῷ kratistῳ hegemoni Pheliki chairein.

Edified Edition (EDE)Claudius Lysias, To the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

Phonetic (Greek): ton andra toyton syllemphthenta hypo ton Ἰoudaion kai mellonta anaireisthai hypʼ ayton epistas syn tῷ strateymati ⸀exeilamen, mathon hoti Ῥomaios estin,

Edified Edition (EDE)This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them. Coming with the troops I rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον συλλημφθέντα ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ μέλλοντα ἀναιρεῖσθαι ὑπʼ αὐτῶν ἐπιστὰς σὺν τῷ στρατεύματι ⸀ἐξειλάμην, μαθὼν ὅτι Ῥωμαῖός ἐστιν,

Phonetic (Greek): boulomenos ⸀te ⸀epignonai ten aitian diʼ hen enekaloun aytῷ, ⸀kategagon eis to synedrion ayton.

Edified Edition (EDE)And when I wanted to know the reason they accused him, I brought him before their council.

Phonetic (Greek): hon ehyron enkaloymenon peri zetematon toy nomou ayton, meden ⸀de axion thanatou e desmon ⸂echonta enklema⸃.

Edified Edition (EDE)I found that he was accused concerning questions of their law, but had nothing charged against him deserving of death or chains.

ὃν εὗρον ἐγκαλούμενον περὶ ζητημάτων τοῦ νόμου αὐτῶν, μηδὲν ⸀δὲ ἄξιον θανάτου ἢ δεσμῶν ⸂ἔχοντα ἔγκλημα⸃.

Phonetic (Greek): menytheises de moi epiboules eis ton ⸀andra esesthai ⸀exautes epempsa pros se, parangeilas kai tois kategorois ⸀legein pros ayton epi ⸀soy.

Edified Edition (EDE)And when it was told me that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him immediately to you, and also commanded his accusers to state before you the charges against him. Farewell.

μηνυθείσης δέ μοι ἐπιβουλῆς εἰς τὸν ⸀ἄνδρα ἔσεσθαι ⸀ἐξαυτῆς ἔπεμψα πρὸς σέ, παραγγείλας καὶ τοῖς κατηγόροις ⸀λέγειν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ⸀σοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): Ohi men oyn stratiotai kata to diatetagmenon aytois analabontes ton Paylon egagon ⸀dia nyktos eis ten Ἀntipatrida·

Edified Edition (EDE)Then the soldiers, as they were commanded, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

Οἱ μὲν οὖν στρατιῶται κατὰ τὸ διατεταγμένον αὐτοῖς ἀναλαβόντες τὸν Παῦλον ἤγαγον ⸀διὰ νυκτὸς εἰς τὴν Ἀντιπατρίδα·

Phonetic (Greek): tῇ de epayrion easantes toys hippeis ⸀aperchesthai syn aytῷ hypestrepsan eis ten parembolen·

Phonetic (Greek): anagnoys ⸀de kai eperotesas ek poias ⸀eparcheias estin kai pythomenos hoti apo Kilikias,

Phonetic (Greek): Diakoysomai sou, ephe, hotan kai ohi kategoroi sou paragenontai· ⸀keleysas en tῷ praitoriῳ ⸀toy Ἡrῴdou phylassesthai ⸀ayton.

Edified Edition (EDE)he said, "I will hear you when your accusers also have come." And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s Praetorium.

Διακούσομαί σου, ἔφη, ὅταν καὶ οἱ κατήγοροί σου παραγένωνται· ⸀κελεύσας ἐν τῷ πραιτωρίῳ ⸀τοῦ Ἡρῴδου φυλάσσεσθαι ⸀αὐτόν.
