| [1]And Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak in thy own behalf. Then Paul extended his hand, and made defence, saying: |
[1]αγριππας δε προς τον παυλον εφη επιτρεπεται σοι υπερ περι σεαυτου λεγειν τοτε ο παυλος εκτεινας την χειρα απελογειτο |
| [2]In regard to all the things of which I am accused by the Jews, king Agrippa, I consider myself highly favored, that I may this day make defence before thee: |
[2]περι παντων ων εγκαλουμαι υπο ιουδαιων βασιλευ αγριππα ηγημαι εμαυτον μακαριον επι σου μελλων σημερον απολογεισθαι |
| [3]especially, as I know thee to be expert in all the controversies and laws of the Jews. I therefore request thee to hear me with indulgence. |
[3]μαλιστα γνωστην οντα σε παντων των κατα ιουδαιους εθων τε και ζητηματων διο δεομαι μακροθυμως ακουσαι μου |
| [4]The Jews themselves, if they would testify, know well my course of life from my childhood, which from the beginning was among my nation and in Jerusalem. |
[4]την μεν ουν βιωσιν μου [την] εκ νεοτητος την απ αρχης γενομενην εν τω εθνει μου εν τε ιεροσολυμοις ισασιν παντες [οι] ιουδαιοι |
| [5]For they have long been persuaded of me, and have known, that I lived in the princely doctrine of the Pharisees. |
[5]προγινωσκοντες με ανωθεν εαν θελωσιν μαρτυρειν οτι κατα την ακριβεστατην αιρεσιν της ημετερας θρησκειας εζησα φαρισαιος |
| [6]And now, for the hope of the promise which was made by God to our fathers, I stand and am judged. |
[6]και νυν επ ελπιδι της εις τους πατερας ημων επαγγελιας γενομενης υπο του θεου εστηκα κρινομενος |
| [7]To this hope, our twelve tribes hope to come, with earnest prayers by day and by night: and for this same hope, king Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews. |
[7]εις ην το δωδεκαφυλον ημων εν εκτενεια νυκτα και ημεραν λατρευον ελπιζει καταντησαι περι ης ελπιδος εγκαλουμαι υπο ιουδαιων βασιλευ |
| [8]How judge ye? Are we not to believe, that God will raise the dead? |
[8]τι απιστον κρινεται παρ υμιν ει ο θεος νεκρους εγειρει |
| [9]For I myself, at first, resolved in my own mind, that I would perpetrate many adverse things against the name of Jesus the Nazarean. |
[9]εγω μεν ουν εδοξα εμαυτω προς το ονομα ιησου του ναζωραιου δειν πολλα εναντια πραξαι |
| [10]Which I also did at Jerusalem; and by the authority I received from the chief priests, I cast many of the saints into prison and when they were put to death by them, I took part with those that condemned them. |
[10]ο και εποιησα εν ιεροσολυμοις και πολλους τε των αγιων εγω εν φυλακαις κατεκλεισα την παρα των αρχιερεων εξουσιαν λαβων αναιρουμενων τε αυτων κατηνεγκα ψηφον |
| [11]And in every synagogue I tortured them, while I pressed them to become revilers of the name of Jesus. And in the great wrath, with which I was filled against them, I also went to other cities to persecute them. |
[11]και κατα πασας τας συναγωγας πολλακις τιμωρων αυτους ηναγκαζον βλασφημειν περισσως τε εμμαινομενος αυτοις εδιωκον εως και εις τας εξω πολεις |
| [12]And, as I was going for this purpose to Damascus, with the authority and license of the chief priests, |
[12]εν οις πορευομενος εις την δαμασκον μετ εξουσιας και επιτροπης της των αρχιερεων |
| [13]at mid-day, on the road, I saw, O king, a light exceeding that of the sun, beaming from heaven upon me, and upon all those with me. |
[13]ημερας μεσης κατα την οδον ειδον βασιλευ ουρανοθεν υπερ την λαμπροτητα του ηλιου περιλαμψαν με φως και τους συν εμοι πορευομενους |
| [14]And we all fell to the ground; and I heard a voice, which said to me, in Hebrew: Saul, Saul ! why persecutest thou me? It will be a hard thing for thee to kick against the goads. |
[14]παντων τε καταπεσοντων ημων εις την γην ηκουσα φωνην λεγουσαν προς με τη εβραιδι διαλεκτω σαουλ σαουλ τι με διωκεις σκληρον σοι προς κεντρα λακτιζειν |
| [15]And I said: My Lord, who art thou? And our Lord said to me: I am Jesus the Nazarean, whom thou persecutest. |
[15]εγω δε ειπα τις ει κυριε ο δε κυριος ειπεν εγω ειμι ιησους ον συ διωκεις |
| [16]And he said to me: Stand upon thy feet; for I have appeared to thee, for this purpose, to constitute thee a minister and a witness of this thy seeing me, and of thy seeing me hereafter. |
[16]αλλα αναστηθι και στηθι επι τους ποδας σου εις τουτο γαρ ωφθην σοι προχειρισασθαι σε υπηρετην και μαρτυρα ων τε ειδες με [με] ων τε οφθησομαι σοι |
| [17]And I will deliver thee from the people of the Jews, and from other nations; to whom I send thee, |
[17]εξαιρουμενος σε εκ του λαου και εκ των εθνων εις ους εγω αποστελλω σε |
| [18]to open their eyes; that they may turn from darkness to the light, and from the dominion of Satan unto God; and may receive remission of sins, and a portion with the saints, by faith in me. |
[18]ανοιξαι οφθαλμους αυτων του επιστρεψαι απο σκοτους εις φως και της εξουσιας του σατανα επι τον θεον του λαβειν αυτους αφεσιν αμαρτιων και κληρον εν τοις ηγιασμενοις πιστει τη εις εμε |
| [19]Wherefore, king Agrippa, I did not contumaciously withstand the heavenly vision: |
[19]οθεν βασιλευ αγριππα ουκ εγενομην απειθης τη ουρανιω οπτασια |
| [20]but I preached from the first to them in Damascus, and to them in Jerusalem and in all the villages of Judaea; and I preached also to the Gentiles, that they should repent, and should turn to God, and should do the works suitable to repentance. |
[20]αλλα τοις εν δαμασκω πρωτον τε και ιεροσολυμοις πασαν τε την χωραν της ιουδαιας και τοις εθνεσιν απηγγελλον μετανοειν και επιστρεφειν επι τον θεον αξια της μετανοιας εργα πρασσοντας |
| [21]And on account of these things, the Jews seized me in the temple, and sought to kill me. |
[21]ενεκα τουτων με ιουδαιοι συλλαβομενοι [οντα] εν τω ιερω επειρωντο διαχειρισασθαι |
| [22]But unto this day God hath helped me; and lo, I stand and bear testimony, to the small and to the great; yet saying nothing aside from Moses and the prophets, but the very things which they declared were to take place: |
[22]επικουριας ουν τυχων της απο του θεου αχρι της ημερας ταυτης εστηκα μαρτυρομενος μικρω τε και μεγαλω ουδεν εκτος λεγων ων τε οι προφηται ελαλησαν μελλοντων γινεσθαι και μωυσης |
| [23][namely,] that Messiah would suffer, and would become the first fruits of the resurrection from the dead; and that he would proclaim light to the people and to the Gentiles. |
[23]ει παθητος ο χριστος ει πρωτος εξ αναστασεως νεκρων φως μελλει καταγγελλειν τω τε λαω και τοις εθνεσιν |
| [24]And when Paul had extended his defence thus far, Festus cried, with a loud voice: Paul, thou art deranged: much study hath deranged thee. |
[24]ταυτα δε αυτου απολογουμενου ο φηστος μεγαλη τη φωνη φησιν μαινη παυλε τα πολλα σε γραμματα εις μανιαν περιτρεπει |
| [25]Paul replied to him: I am not deranged, excellent Festus; but speak words of truth and rectitude. |
[25]ο δε παυλος ου μαινομαι φησιν κρατιστε φηστε αλλα αληθειας και σωφροσυνης ρηματα αποφθεγγομαι |
| [26]And king Agrippa is also well acquainted with these things; and I therefore speak confidently before him, because I suppose not one of these things hath escaped his knowledge; for they were not done in secret. |
[26]επισταται γαρ περι τουτων ο βασιλευς προς ον και παρρησιαζομενος λαλω λανθανειν γαρ αυτον [τι] τουτων ου πειθομαι ουθεν ου γαρ εστιν εν γωνια πεπραγμενον τουτο |
| [27]King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. |
[27]πιστευεις βασιλευ αγριππα τοις προφηταις οιδα οτι πιστευεις |
| [28]King Agrippa said to him: Almost, thou persuadest me to become a Christian. |
[28]ο δε αγριππας προς τον παυλον εν ολιγω με πειθεις χριστιανον ποιησαι |
| [29]And Paul said: I would to God, that not only thou, but likewise all that hear me this day, were almost, and altogether, as I am, aside from these bonds. |
[29]ο δε παυλος ευξαιμην αν τω θεω και εν ολιγω και εν μεγαλω ου μονον σε αλλα και παντας τους ακουοντας μου σημερον γενεσθαι τοιουτους οποιος και εγω ειμι παρεκτος των δεσμων τουτων |
| [30]And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them. |
[30]ανεστη τε ο βασιλευς και ο ηγεμων η τε βερνικη και οι συγκαθημενοι αυτοις |
| [31]And when they had gone out, they conversed with one another, and said: This man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bonds. |
[31]και αναχωρησαντες ελαλουν προς αλληλους λεγοντες οτι ουδεν θανατου η δεσμων αξιον [τι] πρασσει ο ανθρωπος ουτος |
| [32]And Agrippa said to Festus: The man might be set at liberty, if he had not announced an appeal to Caesar. |
[32]αγριππας δε τω φηστω εφη απολελυσθαι εδυνατο ο ανθρωπος ουτος ει μη επεκεκλητο καισαρα |
