Acts 16

GNT

1 κατήντησεν δὲ [καὶ] εἰς δέρβην καὶ εἰς λύστραν. καὶ ἰδοὺ μαθητής τις ἦν ἐκεῖ ὀνόματι τιμόθεος, υἱὸς γυναικὸς ἰουδαίας πιστῆς πατρὸς δὲ ἕλληνος,

2 ὃς ἐμαρτυρεῖτο ὑπὸ τῶν ἐν λύστροις καὶ ἰκονίῳ ἀδελφῶν.

3 τοῦτον ἠθέλησεν ὁ παῦλος σὺν αὐτῶ ἐξελθεῖν, καὶ λαβὼν περιέτεμεν αὐτὸν διὰ τοὺς ἰουδαίους τοὺς ὄντας ἐν τοῖς τόποις ἐκείνοις, ᾔδεισαν γὰρ ἅπαντες ὅτι ἕλλην ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ὑπῆρχεν.

4 ὡς δὲ διεπορεύοντο τὰς πόλεις, παρεδίδοσαν αὐτοῖς φυλάσσειν τὰ δόγματα τὰ κεκριμένα ὑπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων τῶν ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις.

5 αἱ μὲν οὗν ἐκκλησίαι ἐστερεοῦντο τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐπερίσσευον τῶ ἀριθμῶ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν.

6 διῆλθον δὲ τὴν φρυγίαν καὶ γαλατικὴν χώραν, κωλυθέντες ὑπὸ τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος λαλῆσαι τὸν λόγον ἐν τῇ ἀσίᾳ·

7 ἐλθόντες δὲ κατὰ τὴν μυσίαν ἐπείραζον εἰς τὴν βιθυνίαν πορευθῆναι, καὶ οὐκ εἴασεν αὐτοὺς τὸ πνεῦμα ἰησοῦ·

8 παρελθόντες δὲ τὴν μυσίαν κατέβησαν εἰς τρῳάδα.

9 καὶ ὅραμα διὰ [τῆς] νυκτὸς τῶ παύλῳ ὤφθη, ἀνὴρ μακεδών τις ἦν ἑστὼς καὶ παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων, διαβὰς εἰς μακεδονίαν βοήθησον ἡμῖν.

10 ὡς δὲ τὸ ὅραμα εἶδεν, εὐθέως ἐζητήσαμεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς μακεδονίαν, συμβιβάζοντες ὅτι προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς εὐαγγελίσασθαι αὐτούς.

11 ἀναχθέντες δὲ ἀπὸ τρῳάδος εὐθυδρομήσαμεν εἰς σαμοθρᾴκην, τῇ δὲ ἐπιούσῃ εἰς νέαν πόλιν,

12 κἀκεῖθεν εἰς φιλίππους, ἥτις ἐστὶν πρώτη[ς] μερίδος τῆς μακεδονίας πόλις, κολωνία. ἦμεν δὲ ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ πόλει διατρίβοντες ἡμέρας τινάς.

13 τῇ τε ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἐξήλθομεν ἔξω τῆς πύλης παρὰ ποταμὸν οὖ ἐνομίζομεν προσευχὴν εἶναι, καὶ καθίσαντες ἐλαλοῦμεν ταῖς συνελθούσαις γυναιξίν.

14 καί τις γυνὴ ὀνόματι λυδία, πορφυρόπωλις πόλεως θυατείρων σεβομένη τὸν θεόν, ἤκουεν, ἧς ὁ κύριος διήνοιξεν τὴν καρδίαν προσέχειν τοῖς λαλουμένοις ὑπὸ τοῦ παύλου.

15 ὡς δὲ ἐβαπτίσθη καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς, παρεκάλεσεν λέγουσα, εἰ κεκρίκατέ με πιστὴν τῶ κυρίῳ εἶναι, εἰσελθόντες εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου μένετε· καὶ παρεβιάσατο ἡμᾶς.

16 ἐγένετο δὲ πορευομένων ἡμῶν εἰς τὴν προσευχὴν παιδίσκην τινὰ ἔχουσαν πνεῦμα πύθωνα ὑπαντῆσαι ἡμῖν, ἥτις ἐργασίαν πολλὴν παρεῖχεν τοῖς κυρίοις αὐτῆς μαντευομένη.

17 αὕτη κατακολουθοῦσα τῶ παύλῳ καὶ ἡμῖν ἔκραζεν λέγουσα, οὖτοι οἱ ἄνθρωποι δοῦλοι τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου εἰσίν, οἵτινες καταγγέλλουσιν ὑμῖν ὁδὸν σωτηρίας.

18 τοῦτο δὲ ἐποίει ἐπὶ πολλὰς ἡμέρας. διαπονηθεὶς δὲ παῦλος καὶ ἐπιστρέψας τῶ πνεύματι εἶπεν, παραγγέλλω σοι ἐν ὀνόματι ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ ἐξελθεῖν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ.

19 ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ κύριοι αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς ἐργασίας αὐτῶν ἐπιλαβόμενοι τὸν παῦλον καὶ τὸν σιλᾶν εἵλκυσαν εἰς τὴν ἀγορὰν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας,

20 καὶ προσαγαγόντες αὐτοὺς τοῖς στρατηγοῖς εἶπαν, οὖτοι οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἐκταράσσουσιν ἡμῶν τὴν πόλιν ἰουδαῖοι ὑπάρχοντες,

21 καὶ καταγγέλλουσιν ἔθη ἃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν ἡμῖν παραδέχεσθαι οὐδὲ ποιεῖν ῥωμαίοις οὗσιν.

22 καὶ συνεπέστη ὁ ὄχλος κατ᾽ αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ στρατηγοὶ περιρήξαντες αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐκέλευον ῥαβδίζειν,

23 πολλάς τε ἐπιθέντες αὐτοῖς πληγὰς ἔβαλον εἰς φυλακήν, παραγγείλαντες τῶ δεσμοφύλακι ἀσφαλῶς τηρεῖν αὐτούς·

24 ὃς παραγγελίαν τοιαύτην λαβὼν ἔβαλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἐσωτέραν φυλακὴν καὶ τοὺς πόδας ἠσφαλίσατο αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ ξύλον.

25 κατὰ δὲ τὸ μεσονύκτιον παῦλος καὶ σιλᾶς προσευχόμενοι ὕμνουν τὸν θεόν, ἐπηκροῶντο δὲ αὐτῶν οἱ δέσμιοι·

26 ἄφνω δὲ σεισμὸς ἐγένετο μέγας ὥστε σαλευθῆναι τὰ θεμέλια τοῦ δεσμωτηρίου, ἠνεῴχθησαν δὲ παραχρῆμα αἱ θύραι πᾶσαι, καὶ πάντων τὰ δεσμὰ ἀνέθη.

27 ἔξυπνος δὲ γενόμενος ὁ δεσμοφύλαξ καὶ ἰδὼν ἀνεῳγμένας τὰς θύρας τῆς φυλακῆς, σπασάμενος [τὴν] μάχαιραν ἤμελλεν ἑαυτὸν ἀναιρεῖν, νομίζων ἐκπεφευγέναι τοὺς δεσμίους.

28 ἐφώνησεν δὲ μεγάλῃ φωνῇ [ὁ] παῦλος λέγων, μηδὲν πράξῃς σεαυτῶ κακόν, ἅπαντες γάρ ἐσμεν ἐνθάδε.

29 αἰτήσας δὲ φῶτα εἰσεπήδησεν, καὶ ἔντρομος γενόμενος προσέπεσεν τῶ παύλῳ καὶ [τῶ] σιλᾷ,

30 καὶ προαγαγὼν αὐτοὺς ἔξω ἔφη, κύριοι, τί με δεῖ ποιεῖν ἵνα σωθῶ;

31 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, πίστευσον ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον ἰησοῦν, καὶ σωθήσῃ σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου.

32 καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῶ τὸν λόγον τοῦ κυρίου σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ.

33 καὶ παραλαβὼν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ τῆς νυκτὸς ἔλουσεν ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν, καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ αὐτοῦ πάντες παραχρῆμα,

34 ἀναγαγών τε αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον παρέθηκεν τράπεζαν, καὶ ἠγαλλιάσατο πανοικεὶ πεπιστευκὼς τῶ θεῶ.

35 ἡμέρας δὲ γενομένης ἀπέστειλαν οἱ στρατηγοὶ τοὺς ῥαβδούχους λέγοντες, ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐκείνους.

36 ἀπήγγειλεν δὲ ὁ δεσμοφύλαξ τοὺς λόγους [τούτους] πρὸς τὸν παῦλον, ὅτι ἀπέσταλκαν οἱ στρατηγοὶ ἵνα ἀπολυθῆτε· νῦν οὗν ἐξελθόντες πορεύεσθε ἐν εἰρήνῃ.

37 ὁ δὲ παῦλος ἔφη πρὸς αὐτούς, δείραντες ἡμᾶς δημοσίᾳ ἀκατακρίτους, ἀνθρώπους ῥωμαίους ὑπάρχοντας, ἔβαλαν εἰς φυλακήν· καὶ νῦν λάθρᾳ ἡμᾶς ἐκβάλλουσιν; οὐ γάρ, ἀλλὰ ἐλθόντες αὐτοὶ ἡμᾶς ἐξαγαγέτωσαν.

38 ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ τοῖς στρατηγοῖς οἱ ῥαβδοῦχοι τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα. ἐφοβήθησαν δὲ ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ῥωμαῖοί εἰσιν,

39 καὶ ἐλθόντες παρεκάλεσαν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐξαγαγόντες ἠρώτων ἀπελθεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως.

40 ἐξελθόντες δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς φυλακῆς εἰσῆλθον πρὸς τὴν λυδίαν, καὶ ἰδόντες παρεκάλεσαν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ ἐξῆλθαν.

1  Then¹¹⁶¹ came²⁶⁵⁸ he to¹⁵¹⁹ Derbe¹¹⁹¹ and²⁵³² Lystra:³⁰⁸² and,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ disciple³¹⁰¹ was²²⁵⁸ there,¹⁵⁶³ named³⁶⁸⁶ Timothy,⁵⁰⁹⁵ the son⁵²⁰⁷ of a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ woman,¹¹³⁵ which was a Jewess,²⁴⁵³ and believed;⁴¹⁰³ but¹¹⁶¹ his father²⁹⁶² was a Greek:¹⁶⁷²

2  Which³⁷³⁹ was well reported of³¹⁴⁰ by⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ that were at¹⁷²² Lystra³⁰⁸² and²⁵³² Iconium.²⁴³⁰

3  Him⁵¹²⁶ would²³⁰⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² have to go forth¹⁸³¹ with⁴⁸⁶² him;⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² took²⁹⁸³ and circumcised⁴⁰⁵⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ because of¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ which were⁵⁶⁰⁷ in¹⁷²² those¹⁵⁶⁵ quarters:⁵¹¹⁷ for¹⁰⁶³ they knew¹⁴⁹² all⁵³⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ his⁸⁴⁸ father³⁹⁶² was⁵²²⁵ a Greek.¹⁶⁷²

4  And¹¹⁶¹ as⁵⁶¹³ they went through¹²⁷⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ cities,⁴¹⁷² they delivered³⁸⁶⁰ them⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ decrees¹³⁷⁸ for to keep,⁵⁴⁴² that were ordained²⁹¹⁹ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² and²⁵³² elders⁴²⁴⁵ which³⁵⁸⁸ were at¹⁷²² Jerusalem.²⁴¹⁹

5  And³⁷⁶⁷ so³³⁰³ were the³⁵⁸⁸ churches¹⁵⁷⁷ established⁴⁷³² in the³⁵⁸⁸ faith,⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² increased⁴⁰⁵² in number⁷⁰⁶ daily.^{2596 2250}

6  Now¹¹⁶¹ when they had gone throughout¹³³⁰ Phrygia⁵⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ region⁵⁵⁶¹ of Galatia,¹⁰⁵⁴ and were forbidden²⁹⁶⁷ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ to preach²⁹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² Asia,⁷⁷³

7  After they were come²⁰⁶⁴ to²⁵⁹⁶ Mysia,³⁴⁶⁵ they attempted³⁹⁸⁵ to go⁴¹⁹⁸ into²⁵⁹⁶ Bithynia:⁹⁷⁸ but²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ suffered¹⁴³⁹ them⁸⁴⁶ not.³⁷⁵⁶

8  And¹¹⁶¹ they passing by³⁹²⁸ Mysia³⁴⁶⁵ came down²⁵⁹⁷ to¹⁵¹⁹ Troas.⁵¹⁷⁴

9  And²⁵³² a vision³⁷⁰⁵ appeared³⁷⁰⁰ to Paul³⁹⁷² in¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ night;³⁵⁷¹ there stood^{2258 2476} a man⁴³⁵ of Macedonia,³¹¹⁰ and²⁵³² prayed³⁸⁷⁰ him,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Come over¹²²⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ Macedonia,³¹⁰⁹ and help⁹⁹⁷ us.²²⁵⁴

10  And¹¹⁶¹ after⁵⁶¹³ he had seen¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ vision,³⁷⁰⁵ immediately²¹¹² we endeavored²²¹² to go¹⁸³¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ Macedonia,³¹⁰⁹ assuredly gathering⁴⁸²² that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² had called⁴³⁴¹ us²²⁴⁸ for to preach the gospel²⁰⁹⁷ unto them.⁸⁴⁶

11  Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ loosing³²¹ from⁵⁷⁵ Troas,⁵¹⁷⁴ we came with a straight course²¹¹³ to¹⁵¹⁹ Samothracia,⁴⁵⁴³ and⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ next¹⁹⁶⁶ day to¹⁵¹⁹ Neapolis;³⁴⁹⁶

12  And⁵⁰³⁷ from thence¹⁵⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Philippi,⁵³⁷⁵ which³⁷⁴⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the chief⁴⁴¹³ city⁴¹⁷² of that part³³¹⁰ of Macedonia,³¹⁰⁹ and a colony:²⁸⁶² and¹¹⁶¹ we were²²⁵⁸ in¹⁷²² that⁵⁰²⁶ city⁴¹⁷² abiding¹³⁰⁴ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ days.²²⁵⁰

13  And⁵⁰³⁷ on²²⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ sabbath⁴⁵²¹ we went¹⁸³¹ out¹⁸⁵⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city⁴¹⁷² by³⁸⁴⁴ a river side,⁴²¹⁵ where³⁷⁵⁷ prayer⁴³³⁵ was wont³⁵⁴³ to be made;¹⁵¹¹ and²⁵³² we sat down,²⁵²³ and spake²⁹⁸⁰ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ women¹¹³⁵ which resorted⁴⁹⁰⁵ thither.

14  And²⁵³² a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ woman¹¹³⁵ named³⁶⁸⁶ Lydia,³⁰⁷⁰ a seller of purple,⁴²¹¹ of the city⁴¹⁷² of Thyatira,²³⁶³ which worshipped⁴⁵⁷⁶ God,²³¹⁶ heard¹⁹¹ us: whose³⁷³⁹ heart²⁵⁸⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² opened,¹²⁷² that she attended⁴³³⁷ unto the things which were spoken²⁹⁸⁰ of⁵²⁵⁹ Paul.³⁹⁷²

15  And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ she was baptized,⁹⁰⁷ and²⁵³² her⁸⁴⁸ household,³⁶²⁴ she besought³⁸⁷⁰ us, saying,³⁰⁰⁴ If¹⁴⁸⁷ ye have judged²⁹¹⁹ me³¹⁶⁵ to be¹⁵¹¹ faithful⁴¹⁰³ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² come¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ house,³⁶²⁴ and abide³³⁰⁶ there. And²⁵³² she constrained³⁸⁴⁹ us.²²⁴⁸

16  And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ as we²²⁵⁷ went⁴¹⁹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ prayer,⁴³³⁵ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ damsel³⁸¹⁴ possessed²¹⁹² with a spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of divination⁴⁴³⁶ met⁵²⁸ us,²²⁵⁴ which³⁷⁴⁸ brought³⁹³⁰ her⁸⁴⁸ masters²⁹⁶² much⁴¹⁸³ gain²⁰³⁹ by soothsaying:³¹³²

17  The same³⁷⁷⁸ followed²⁶²⁸ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² us,²²⁵⁴ and cried,²⁸⁹⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ These³⁷⁷⁸ men⁴⁴⁴ are¹⁵²⁶ the servants¹⁴⁰¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ most high⁵³¹⁰ God,²³¹⁶ which³⁷⁴⁸ show²⁶⁰⁵ unto us²²⁵⁴ the way³⁵⁹⁸ of salvation.⁴⁹⁹¹

18  And¹¹⁶¹ this⁵¹²⁴ did⁴¹⁶⁰ she¹⁹⁰⁹ many⁴¹⁸³ days.²²⁵⁰ But¹¹⁶¹ Paul,³⁹⁷² being grieved,¹²⁷⁸ turned¹⁹⁹⁴ and²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ I command³⁸⁵³ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ to come¹⁸³¹ out of⁵⁷⁵ her.⁸⁴⁶ And²⁵³² he came out¹⁸³¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ hour.⁵⁶¹⁰

19  And¹¹⁶¹ when her⁸⁴⁸ masters²⁹⁶² saw¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ hope¹⁶⁸⁰ of their⁸⁴⁸ gains²⁰³⁹ was gone,¹⁸³¹ they caught¹⁹⁴⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Silas,⁴⁶⁰⁹ and drew¹⁶⁷⁰ them into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ marketplace⁵⁸ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ rulers,⁷⁵⁸

20  And²⁵³² brought⁴³¹⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ magistrates,⁴⁷⁵⁵ saying,²⁰³⁶ These³⁷⁷⁸ men,⁴⁴⁴ being⁵²²⁵ Jews,²⁴⁵³ do exceedingly trouble¹⁶¹³ our²²⁵⁷ city,⁴¹⁷²

21  And²⁵³² teach²⁶⁰⁵ customs,¹⁴⁸⁵ which³⁷³⁹ are not lawful^{1832 3756} for us²²⁵⁴ to receive,³⁸⁵⁸ neither³⁷⁶¹ to observe,⁴¹⁶⁰ being⁵⁶⁰⁷ Romans.⁴⁵¹⁴

22  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude³⁷⁹³ rose up together⁴⁹¹¹ against²⁵⁹⁶ them:⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ magistrates⁴⁷⁵⁵ rent off⁴⁰⁴⁸ their⁸⁴⁶ clothes,²⁴⁴⁰ and commanded²⁷⁵³ to beat⁴⁴⁶³ them.

23  And⁵⁰³⁷ when they had laid²⁰⁰⁷ many⁴¹⁸³ stripes⁴¹²⁷ upon them,⁸⁴⁶ they cast⁹⁰⁶ them into¹⁵¹⁹ prison,⁵⁴³⁸ charging³⁸⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ jailer¹²⁰⁰ to keep⁵⁰⁸³ them⁸⁴⁶ safely:⁸⁰⁶

24  Who,³⁷³⁹ having received²⁹⁸³ such⁵¹⁰⁸ a charge,³⁸⁵² thrust⁹⁰⁶ them⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ inner²⁰⁸² prison,⁵⁴³⁸ and²⁵³² made their feet fast^{805 846 4228} in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ stocks.³⁵⁸⁶

25  And¹¹⁶¹ at²⁵⁹⁶ midnight³³¹⁷ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Silas⁴⁶⁰⁹ prayed,⁴³³⁶ and²⁵³² sang praises⁵²¹⁴ unto God:²³¹⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ prisoners¹¹⁹⁸ heard¹⁸⁷⁴ them.⁸⁴⁶

26  And¹¹⁶¹ suddenly⁸⁶⁹ there was¹⁰⁹⁶ a great³¹⁷³ earthquake,⁴⁵⁷⁸ so that⁵⁶²⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ foundations²³¹⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ prison¹²⁰¹ were shaken:⁴⁵³¹ and⁵⁰³⁷ immediately³⁹¹⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ doors²³⁷⁴ were opened,⁴⁵⁵ and²⁵³² every one's³⁹⁵⁶ bands¹¹⁹⁹ were loosed.⁴⁴⁷

27  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ keeper of the prison¹²⁰⁰ awaking out of his sleep,^{1096 1853} and²⁵³² seeing¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ prison⁵⁴³⁸ doors²³⁷⁴ open,⁴⁵⁵ he drew out⁴⁶⁸⁵ his sword,³¹⁶² and would³¹⁹⁵ have killed³³⁷ himself,¹⁴³⁸ supposing³⁵⁴³ that the³⁵⁸⁸ prisoners¹¹⁹⁸ had been fled.¹⁶²⁸

28  But¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² cried⁵⁴⁵⁵ with a loud³¹⁷³ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Do⁴²³⁸ thyself⁴⁵⁷² no³³⁶⁷ harm:²⁵⁵⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ we are²⁰⁷⁰ all⁵³⁷ here.¹⁷⁵⁹

29  Then¹¹⁶¹ he called¹⁵⁴ for a light,⁵⁴⁵⁷ and sprang in,¹⁵³⁰ and²⁵³² came¹⁰⁹⁶ trembling,¹⁷⁹⁰ and fell down before⁴³⁶³ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Silas,⁴⁶⁰⁹

30  And²⁵³² brought⁴²⁵⁴ them⁸⁴⁶ out,¹⁸⁵⁴ and said,⁵³⁴⁶ Sirs,²⁹⁶² what⁵¹⁰¹ must¹¹⁶³ I³¹⁶⁵ do⁴¹⁶⁰ to²⁴⁴³ be saved?⁴⁹⁸²

31  And¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ Believe⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² thou⁴⁷⁷¹ shalt be saved,⁴⁹⁸² and²⁵³² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ house.³⁶²⁴

32  And²⁵³² they spake²⁹⁸⁰ unto him⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² to all³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁵⁸⁸ were in¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁸ house.³⁶¹⁴

33  And²⁵³² he took³⁸⁸⁰ them⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ same¹⁵⁶⁵ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ night,³⁵⁷¹ and washed³⁰⁶⁸ their⁵⁷⁵ stripes;⁴¹²⁷ and²⁵³² was baptized,⁹⁰⁷ he⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ his,⁸⁴⁶ straightway.³⁹¹⁶

34  And⁵⁰³⁷ when he had brought³²¹ them⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ house,³⁶²⁴ he set meat before^{3908 5132} them, and²⁵³² rejoiced,²¹ believing⁴¹⁰⁰ in God²³¹⁶ with all his house.³⁸³²

35  And¹¹⁶¹ when it was¹⁰⁹⁶ day,²²⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ magistrates⁴⁷⁵⁵ sent⁶⁴⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sergeants,⁴⁴⁶⁵ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Let those men go.^{630 1565 444}

36  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ keeper of the prison¹²⁰⁰ told⁵¹⁸ this⁵¹²⁸ saying³⁰⁵⁶ to⁴³¹⁴ Paul,³⁹⁷² The³⁵⁸⁸ magistrates⁴⁷⁵⁵ have sent⁶⁴⁹ to²⁴⁴³ let you go:⁶³⁰ now³⁵⁶⁸ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ depart,¹⁸³¹ and go⁴¹⁹⁸ in¹⁷²² peace.¹⁵¹⁵

37  But¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² said⁵³⁴⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ They have beaten¹¹⁹⁴ us²²⁴⁸ openly¹²¹⁹ uncondemned,¹⁷⁸ being⁵²²⁵ Romans,⁴⁵¹⁴ and⁴⁴⁴ have cast⁹⁰⁶ us into¹⁵¹⁹ prison;⁵⁴³⁸ and²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ do they thrust us out^{1544 2248} privily?²⁹⁷⁷ nay³⁷⁵⁶ verily;¹⁰⁶³ but²³⁵ let them come²⁰⁶⁴ themselves⁸⁴⁸ and fetch us out.^{1806 2248}

38  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sergeants⁴⁴⁶⁵ told³¹² these⁵⁰²³ words⁴⁴⁸⁷ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ magistrates:⁴⁷⁵⁵ and²⁵³² they feared,⁵³⁹⁹ when they heard¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ they were¹⁵²⁶ Romans.⁴⁵¹⁴

39  And²⁵³² they came²⁰⁶⁴ and besought³⁸⁷⁰ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² brought them out,¹⁸⁰⁶ and desired²⁰⁶⁵ them to depart out¹⁸³¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city.⁴¹⁷²

40  And¹¹⁶¹ they went¹⁸³¹ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ prison,⁵⁴³⁸ and entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the house of Lydia:³⁰⁷⁰ and²⁵³² when they had seen¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren,⁸⁰ they comforted³⁸⁷⁰ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² departed.¹⁸³¹

Vul

1 Pervenit autem Derben et Lystram. Et ecce discipulus quidam erat ibi nomine Timotheus, filius mulieris Judææ fidelis, patre gentili.

2 Huic testimonium bonum reddebant qui in Lystris erant et Iconio fratres.

3 Hunc voluit Paulus secum proficisci: et assumens circumcidit eum propter Judæos qui erant in illis locis. Sciebant enim omnes quod pater ejus erat gentilis.

4 Cum autem pertransirent civitates, tradebant eis custodiri dogmata quæ erant decreta ab Apostolis et senioribus qui erant Jerosolymis.

5 Et ecclesiæ quidem confirmabantur fide, et abundabunt numero quotidie.

6 Transeuntes autem Phrygiam et Galatiæ regionem, vetati sunt a Spiritu Sancto loqui verbum Dei in Asia.

7 Cum venissent autem in Mysiam, tentabant ire in Bithyniam: et non permisit eos Spiritus Jesu.

8 Cum autem pertransissent Mysiam, descenderunt Troadem:

9 et visio per noctem Paulo ostensa est: vir Macedo quidam erat stans et deprecans eum, et dicens: Transiens in Macedoniam, adjuva nos.

10 Ut autem visum vidit, statim quæsivimus proficisci in Macedoniam, certi facti quod vocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis.

11 Navigantes autem a Troade, recto cursu venimus Samothraciam, et sequenti die Neapolim:

12 et inde Philippos, quæ est prima partis Macedoniæ civitas, colonia. Eramus autem in hac urbe diebus aliquot, conferentes.

13 Die autem sabbatorum egressi sumus foras portam juxta flumen, ubi videbatur oratio esse: et sedentes loquebamur mulieribus quæ convenerant.

14 Et quædam mulier nomine Lydia, purpuraria civitatis Thyatirenorum, colens Deum, audivit: cujus Dominus aperuit cor intendere his quæ dicebantur a Paulo.

15 Cum autem baptizata esset, et domus ejus, deprecata est, dicens: Si judicastis me fidelem Domino esse, introite in domum meam, et manete. Et coëgit nos.

16 Factum est autem euntibus nobis ad orationem, puellam quamdam habentem spiritum pythonem obviare nobis, quæ quæstum magnum præstabat dominis suis divinando.

17 Hæc subsecuta Paulum et nos, clamabat dicens: Isti homines servi Dei excelsi sunt, qui annuntiant vobis viam salutis.

18 Hoc autem faciebat multis diebus. Dolens autem Paulus, et conversus, spiritui dixit: Præcipio tibi in nomine Jesu Christi exire ab ea. Et exiit eadem hora.

19 Videntes autem domini ejus quia exivit spes quæstus eorum, apprehendentes Paulum et Silam, perduxerunt in forum ad principes:

20 et offerentes eos magistratibus, dixerunt: Hi homines conturbant civitatem nostram, cum sint Judæi:

21 et annuntiant morem quem non licet nobis suscipere neque facere, cum simus Romani.

22 Et cucurrit plebs adversus eos: et magistratus, scissis tunicis eorum, jusserunt eos virgis cædi.

23 Et cum multas plagas eis imposuissent, miserunt eos in carcerem, præcipientes custodi ut diligenter custodiret eos.

24 Qui cum tale præceptum accepisset, misit eos in interiorem carcerem, et pedes eorum strinxit ligno.

25 Media autem nocte Paulus et Silas orantes, laudabant Deum: et audiebant eos qui in custodia erant.

26 Subito vero terræmotus factus est magnus, ita ut moverentur fundamenta carceris. Et statim aperta sunt omnia ostia: et universorum vincula soluta sunt.

27 Expergefactus autem custos carceris, et videns januas apertas carceris, evaginato gladio volebat se interficere, æstimans fugisse vinctos.

28 Clamavit autem Paulus voce magna, dicens: Nihil tibi mali feceris: universi enim hic sumus.

29 Petitoque lumine, introgressus est: et tremefactus procidit Paulo et Silæ ad pedes:

30 et producens eos foras, ait: Domini, quid me oportet facere, ut salvus fiam?

31 At illi dixerunt: Crede in Dominum Jesum, et salvus eris tu, et domus tua.

32 Et locuti sunt ei verbum Domini cum omnibus qui erant in domo ejus.

33 Et tollens eos in illa hora noctis, lavit plagas eorum: et baptizatus est ipse, et omnis domus ejus continuo.

34 Cumque perduxisset eos in domum suam, apposuit eis mensam, et lætatus est cum omni domo sua credens Deo.

35 Et cum dies factus esset, miserunt magistratus lictores, dicentes: Dimitte homines illos.

36 Nuntiavit autem custos carceris verba hæc Paulo: Quia miserunt magistratus ut dimittamini: nunc igitur exeuntes, ite in pace.

37 Paulus autem dixit eis: Cæsos nos publice, indemnatos homines Romanos, miserunt in carcerem: et nunc occulte nos ejiciunt? Non ita: sed veniant,

38 et ipsi nos ejiciant. Nuntiaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verba hæc. Timueruntque audito quod Romani essent:

39 et venientes deprecati sunt eos, et educentes rogabant ut egrederentur de urbe.

40 Exeuntes autem de carcere, introierunt ad Lydiam: et visis fratribus consolati sunt eos, et profecti sunt.
