Acts 18

GNT

1 μετὰ ταῦτα χωρισθεὶς ἐκ τῶν ἀθηνῶν ἦλθεν εἰς κόρινθον.

2 καὶ εὑρών τινα ἰουδαῖον ὀνόματι ἀκύλαν, ποντικὸν τῶ γένει, προσφάτως ἐληλυθότα ἀπὸ τῆς ἰταλίας καὶ πρίσκιλλαν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸ διατεταχέναι κλαύδιον χωρίζεσθαι πάντας τοὺς ἰουδαίους ἀπὸ τῆς ῥώμης, προσῆλθεν αὐτοῖς,

3 καὶ διὰ τὸ ὁμότεχνον εἶναι ἔμενεν παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἠργάζετο· ἦσαν γὰρ σκηνοποιοὶ τῇ τέχνῃ.

4 διελέγετο δὲ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ κατὰ πᾶν σάββατον, ἔπειθέν τε ἰουδαίους καὶ ἕλληνας.

5 ὡς δὲ κατῆλθον ἀπὸ τῆς μακεδονίας ὅ τε σιλᾶς καὶ ὁ τιμόθεος, συνείχετο τῶ λόγῳ ὁ παῦλος, διαμαρτυρόμενος τοῖς ἰουδαίοις εἶναι τὸν χριστόν, ἰησοῦν.

6 ἀντιτασσομένων δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ βλασφημούντων ἐκτιναξάμενος τὰ ἱμάτια εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, τὸ αἷμα ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν ὑμῶν· καθαρὸς ἐγώ· ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν εἰς τὰ ἔθνη πορεύσομαι.

7 καὶ μεταβὰς ἐκεῖθεν εἰσῆλθεν εἰς οἰκίαν τινὸς ὀνόματι τιτίου ἰούστου σεβομένου τὸν θεόν, οὖ ἡ οἰκία ἦν συνομοροῦσα τῇ συναγωγῇ.

8 κρίσπος δὲ ὁ ἀρχισυνάγωγος ἐπίστευσεν τῶ κυρίῳ σὺν ὅλῳ τῶ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πολλοὶ τῶν κορινθίων ἀκούοντες ἐπίστευον καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο.

9 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος ἐν νυκτὶ δι᾽ ὁράματος τῶ παύλῳ, μὴ φοβοῦ, ἀλλὰ λάλει καὶ μὴ σιωπήσῃς,

10 διότι ἐγώ εἰμι μετὰ σοῦ καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπιθήσεταί σοι τοῦ κακῶσαί σε, διότι λαός ἐστί μοι πολὺς ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ.

11 ἐκάθισεν δὲ ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ μῆνας ἓξ διδάσκων ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ.

12 γαλλίωνος δὲ ἀνθυπάτου ὄντος τῆς ἀχαΐας κατεπέστησαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν οἱ ἰουδαῖοι τῶ παύλῳ καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ βῆμα,

13 λέγοντες ὅτι παρὰ τὸν νόμον ἀναπείθει οὖτος τοὺς ἀνθρώπους σέβεσθαι τὸν θεόν.

14 μέλλοντος δὲ τοῦ παύλου ἀνοίγειν τὸ στόμα εἶπεν ὁ γαλλίων πρὸς τοὺς ἰουδαίους, εἰ μὲν ἦν ἀδίκημά τι ἢ ῥᾳδιούργημα πονηρόν, ὦ ἰουδαῖοι, κατὰ λόγον ἂν ἀνεσχόμην ὑμῶν·

15 εἰ δὲ ζητήματά ἐστιν περὶ λόγου καὶ ὀνομάτων καὶ νόμου τοῦ καθ᾽ ὑμᾶς, ὄψεσθε αὐτοί· κριτὴς ἐγὼ τούτων οὐ βούλομαι εἶναι.

16 καὶ ἀπήλασεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ βήματος.

17 ἐπιλαβόμενοι δὲ πάντες σωσθένην τὸν ἀρχισυνάγωγον ἔτυπτον ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ βήματος· καὶ οὐδὲν τούτων τῶ γαλλίωνι ἔμελεν.

18 ὁ δὲ παῦλος ἔτι προσμείνας ἡμέρας ἱκανὰς τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ἀποταξάμενος ἐξέπλει εἰς τὴν συρίαν, καὶ σὺν αὐτῶ πρίσκιλλα καὶ ἀκύλας, κειράμενος ἐν κεγχρεαῖς τὴν κεφαλήν, εἶχεν γὰρ εὐχήν.

19 κατήντησαν δὲ εἰς ἔφεσον, κἀκείνους κατέλιπεν αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς δὲ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν διελέξατο τοῖς ἰουδαίοις.

20 ἐρωτώντων δὲ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ πλείονα χρόνον μεῖναι οὐκ ἐπένευσεν,

21 ἀλλὰ ἀποταξάμενος καὶ εἰπών, πάλιν ἀνακάμψω πρὸς ὑμᾶς τοῦ θεοῦ θέλοντος, ἀνήχθη ἀπὸ τῆς ἐφέσου·

22 καὶ κατελθὼν εἰς καισάρειαν, ἀναβὰς καὶ ἀσπασάμενος τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, κατέβη εἰς ἀντιόχειαν,

23 καὶ ποιήσας χρόνον τινὰ ἐξῆλθεν, διερχόμενος καθεξῆς τὴν γαλατικὴν χώραν καὶ φρυγίαν, ἐπιστηρίζων πάντας τοὺς μαθητάς.

24 ἰουδαῖος δέ τις ἀπολλῶς ὀνόματι, ἀλεξανδρεὺς τῶ γένει, ἀνὴρ λόγιος, κατήντησεν εἰς ἔφεσον, δυνατὸς ὢν ἐν ταῖς γραφαῖς.

25 οὖτος ἦν κατηχημένος τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ κυρίου, καὶ ζέων τῶ πνεύματι ἐλάλει καὶ ἐδίδασκεν ἀκριβῶς τὰ περὶ τοῦ ἰησοῦ, ἐπιστάμενος μόνον τὸ βάπτισμα ἰωάννου.

26 οὖτός τε ἤρξατο παρρησιάζεσθαι ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ· ἀκούσαντες δὲ αὐτοῦ πρίσκιλλα καὶ ἀκύλας προσελάβοντο αὐτὸν καὶ ἀκριβέστερον αὐτῶ ἐξέθεντο τὴν ὁδὸν [τοῦ θεοῦ].

27 βουλομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ διελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ἀχαΐαν προτρεψάμενοι οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἔγραψαν τοῖς μαθηταῖς ἀποδέξασθαι αὐτόν· ὃς παραγενόμενος συνεβάλετο πολὺ τοῖς πεπιστευκόσιν διὰ τῆς χάριτος·

28 εὐτόνως γὰρ τοῖς ἰουδαίοις διακατηλέγχετο δημοσίᾳ ἐπιδεικνὺς διὰ τῶν γραφῶν εἶναι τὸν χριστὸν, ἰησοῦν.

1  ¹¹⁶¹ After³³²⁶ these things⁵⁰²³ Paul³⁹⁷² departed⁵⁵⁶³ from¹⁵³⁷ Athens¹¹⁶ and came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Corinth;²⁸⁸²

2  And²⁵³² found²¹⁴⁷ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ Jew²⁴⁵³ named³⁶⁸⁶ Aquila,²⁰⁷ born¹⁰⁸⁵ in Pontus,⁴¹⁹³ lately⁴³⁷³ come²⁰⁶⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ Italy,²⁴⁸² with²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁸ wife¹¹³⁵ Priscilla; because that⁴²⁵² (Claudius²⁸⁰⁴ had commanded¹²⁹⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ Jews²⁴⁵³ to depart⁵⁵⁶³ from¹⁵³⁷ Rome:)⁴⁵¹⁶ and came⁴³³⁴ unto them.⁸⁴⁶

3  And²⁵³² because he was¹⁵¹¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ same craft,³⁶⁷³ he abode³³⁰⁶ with³⁸⁴⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² wrought:²⁰³⁸ for¹⁰⁶³ by their occupation⁵⁰⁷⁸ they were²²⁵⁸ tentmakers.⁴⁶³⁵

4  And¹¹⁶¹ he reasoned¹²⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue⁴⁸⁶⁴ every^{2596 3956} sabbath,⁴⁵²¹ and⁵⁰³⁷ persuaded³⁹⁸² the Jews²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² the Greeks.¹⁶⁷²

5  And¹¹⁶¹ when^{5613 5037} Silas⁴⁶⁰⁹ and²⁵³² Timothy⁵⁰⁹⁵ were come²⁷¹⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ Macedonia,³¹⁰⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² was pressed⁴⁹¹² in the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ and testified¹²⁶³ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ that Jesus²⁴²⁴ was Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

6  And¹¹⁶¹ when they⁸⁴⁶ opposed themselves,⁴⁹⁸ and²⁵³² blasphemed,⁹⁸⁷ he shook¹⁶²¹ his raiment,²⁴⁴⁰ and said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Your⁵²¹⁶ blood¹²⁹ be upon¹⁹⁰⁹ your own⁵²¹⁶ heads;²⁷⁷⁶ I¹⁴⁷³ am clean:²⁵¹³ from⁵⁷⁵ henceforth³⁵⁶⁸ I will go⁴¹⁹⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles.¹⁴⁸⁴

7  And²⁵³² he departed³³²⁷ thence,¹⁵⁶⁴ and entered²⁰⁶⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man's house,³⁶¹⁴ named³⁶⁸⁶ Justus,²⁴⁵⁹ one that worshipped⁴⁵⁷⁶ God,²³¹⁶ whose³⁷³⁹ house³⁶¹⁴ joined hard^{2258 4927} to the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue.⁴⁸⁶⁴

8  And¹¹⁶¹ Crispus,²⁹²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief ruler of the synagogue,⁷⁵² believed⁴¹⁰⁰ on the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² with⁴⁸⁶² all³⁶⁵⁰ his⁸⁴⁸ house;³⁶²⁴ and²⁵³² many⁴¹⁸³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Corinthians²⁸⁸¹ hearing¹⁹¹ believed,⁴¹⁰⁰ and²⁵³² were baptized.⁹⁰⁷

9  Then¹¹⁶¹ spake²⁰³⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² to Paul³⁹⁷² in¹⁷²² the night³⁵⁷¹ by¹²²³ a vision,³⁷⁰⁵ Be not afraid,^{5399 3361} but²³⁵ speak,²⁹⁸⁰ and²⁵³² hold not thy peace:^{4623 3361}

10  For¹³⁶⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ with³³²⁶ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ and²⁵³² no man³⁷⁶² shall set on²⁰⁰⁷ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ to hurt²⁵⁵⁹ thee:⁴⁵⁷¹ for¹³⁶⁰ I³⁴²⁷ have²⁰⁷⁶ much⁴¹⁸³ people²⁹⁹² in¹⁷²² this⁵⁰²⁶ city.⁴¹⁷²

11  And⁵⁰³⁷ he continued²⁵²³ there a year¹⁷⁶³ and²⁵³² six¹⁸⁰³ months,³³⁷⁶ teaching¹³²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²³¹⁶ among¹⁷²² them.⁸⁴⁶

12  And¹¹⁶¹ when Gallio¹⁰⁵⁸ was the deputy⁴⁴⁵ of Achaia,⁸⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ made insurrection with one accord against^{2721 3661} Paul,³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² brought⁷¹ him⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ judgment seat,⁹⁶⁸

13  Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ This³⁷⁷⁸ fellow persuadeth³⁷⁴ men⁴⁴⁴ to worship⁴⁵⁷⁶ God²³¹⁶ contrary³⁸⁴⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ law.³⁵⁵¹

14  And¹¹⁶¹ when Paul³⁹⁷² was now about³¹⁹⁵ to open⁴⁵⁵ his mouth,⁴⁷⁵⁰ Gallio¹⁰⁵⁸ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ If¹⁴⁸⁷ it^{3303 3767} were²²⁵⁸ a⁵¹⁰⁰ matter of wrong⁹² or²²²⁸ wicked⁴¹⁹⁰ lewdness,⁴⁴⁶⁷ O⁵⁵⁹⁹ ye Jews,²⁴⁵³ reason³⁰⁵⁶ would that I should bear with^{430 302} you:⁵²¹⁶

15  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ it be²⁰⁷⁶ a question²²¹³ of⁴⁰¹² words³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² names,³⁶⁸⁶ and²⁵³² of²⁵⁹⁶ your⁵²⁰⁹ law,³⁵⁵¹ look³⁷⁰⁰ ye⁸⁴⁶ to it; for¹⁰⁶³ I¹⁴⁷³ will¹⁰¹⁴ be¹⁵¹¹ no³⁷⁵⁶ judge²⁹²³ of such⁵¹³⁰ matters.

16  And²⁵³² he drove⁵⁵⁶ them⁸⁴⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ judgment seat.⁹⁶⁸

17  Then¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Greeks¹⁶⁷² took¹⁹⁴⁹ Sosthenes,⁴⁹⁸⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief ruler of the synagogue,⁷⁵² and beat⁵¹⁸⁰ him before¹⁷¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ judgment seat.⁹⁶⁸ And²⁵³² Gallio¹⁰⁵⁸ cared for³¹⁹⁹ none³⁷⁶² of those things.⁵¹³⁰

18  And¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² after this tarried⁴³⁵⁷ there yet²⁰⁸⁹ a good while,^{2425 2250} and then took his leave⁶⁵⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren,⁸⁰ and sailed thence¹⁶⁰² into¹⁵¹⁹ Syria,⁴⁹⁴⁷ and²⁵³² with⁴⁸⁶² him⁸⁴⁶ Priscilla⁴²⁵² and²⁵³² Aquila;²⁰⁷ having shorn²⁷⁵¹ his head²⁷⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² Cenchrea:²⁷⁴⁷ for¹⁰⁶³ he had²¹⁹² a vow.²¹⁷¹

19  And¹¹⁶¹ he came²⁶⁵⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Ephesus,²¹⁸¹ and left them^{2548 2641} there:⁸⁴⁷ but¹¹⁶¹ he⁸⁴⁸ himself entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue,⁴⁸⁶⁴ and reasoned¹²⁵⁶ with the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews.²⁴⁵³

20  When¹¹⁶¹ they⁸⁴⁶ desired²⁰⁶⁵ him to tarry³³⁰⁶ longer⁴¹¹⁹ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ with³⁸⁴⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ he consented¹⁹⁶² not;³⁷⁵⁶

21  But²³⁵ bade them farewell,^{657 846} saying,²⁰³⁶ I³¹⁶⁵ must¹¹⁶³ by all means³⁸⁴³ keep⁴¹⁶⁰ this feast¹⁸⁵⁹ that cometh²⁰⁶⁴ in¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem:²⁴¹⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ I will return³⁴⁴ again³⁸²⁵ unto⁴³¹⁴ you,⁵²⁰⁹ if God²³¹⁶ will.²³⁰⁹ And²⁵³² he sailed³²¹ from⁵⁷⁵ Ephesus.²¹⁸¹

22  And²⁵³² when he had landed²⁷¹⁸ at¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea,²⁵⁴² and gone up,³⁰⁵ and²⁵³² saluted⁷⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ he went down²⁵⁹⁷ to¹⁵¹⁹ Antioch.⁴⁹⁰

23  And²⁵³² after he had spent⁴¹⁶⁰ some⁵¹⁰⁰ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ there, he departed,¹⁸³¹ and went over¹³³⁰ all the³⁵⁸⁸ country⁵⁵⁶¹ of Galatia¹⁰⁵⁴ and²⁵³² Phrygia⁵⁴³⁵ in order,²⁵¹⁷ strengthening¹⁹⁹¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples.³¹⁰¹

24  And¹¹⁶¹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ Jew²⁴⁵³ named³⁶⁸⁶ Apollos,⁶²⁵ born¹⁰⁸⁵ at Alexandria,²²¹ an eloquent³⁰⁵² man,⁴³⁵ and⁵⁶⁰⁷ mighty¹⁴¹⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ Scriptures,¹¹²⁴ came²⁶⁵⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Ephesus.²¹⁸¹

25  This man³⁷⁷⁸ was²²⁵⁸ instructed²⁷²⁷ in the³⁵⁸⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord;²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² being fervent²²⁰⁴ in the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ he spake²⁹⁸⁰ and²⁵³² taught¹³²¹ diligently¹⁹⁹ the things³⁵⁸⁸ of⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² knowing¹⁹⁸⁷ only³⁴⁴⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ baptism⁹⁰⁸ of John.²⁴⁹¹

26  And⁵⁰³⁷ he³⁷⁷⁸ began⁷⁵⁶ to speak boldly³⁹⁵⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue:^{4864 1161} whom⁸⁴⁶ when Aquila²⁰⁷ and²⁵³² Priscilla⁴²⁵² had heard,¹⁹¹ they took him unto^{4355 846} them, and²⁵³² expounded¹⁶²⁰ unto him⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ of God²³¹⁶ more perfectly.¹⁹⁷

27  And¹¹⁶¹ when he⁸⁴⁶ was disposed¹⁰¹⁴ to pass¹³³⁰ into¹⁵¹⁹ Achaia,⁸⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ wrote,¹¹²⁵ exhorting⁴³⁸⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ to receive⁵⁸⁸ him:⁸⁴⁶ who,³⁷³⁹ when he was come,³⁸⁵⁴ helped⁴⁸²⁰ them much⁴¹⁸³ which had believed⁴¹⁰⁰ through¹²²³ grace:⁵⁴⁸⁵

28  For¹⁰⁶³ he mightily²¹⁵⁹ convinced¹²⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ and that publicly,¹²¹⁹ showing¹⁹²⁵ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Scriptures¹¹²⁴ that Jesus²⁴²⁴ was¹⁵¹¹ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

Vul

1 Post hæc egressus ab Athenis, venit Corinthum:

2 et inveniens quemdam Judæum nomine Aquilam, Ponticum genere, qui nuper venerat ab Italia, et Priscillam uxorem ejus (eo quod præcepisset Claudius discedere omnes Judæos a Roma), accessit ad eos.

3 Et quia ejusdem erat artis, manebat apud eos, et operabatur. (Erant autem scenofactoriæ artis.)

4 Et disputabat in synagoga per omne sabbatum, interponens nomen Domini Jesu: suadebatque Judæis et Græcis.

5 Cum venissent autem de Macedonia Silas et Timotheus, instabat verbo Paulus, testificans Judæis esse Christum Jesum.

6 Contradicentibus autem eis, et blasphemantibus, excutiens vestimenta sua, dixit ad eos: Sanguis vester super caput vestrum: mundus ego: ex hoc ad gentes vadam.

7 Et migrans inde, intravit in domum cujusdam, nomine Titi Justi, colentis Deum, cujus domus erat conjuncta synagogæ.

8 Crispus autem archisynagogus credidit Domino cum omni domo sua: et multi Corinthiorum audientes credebant, et baptizabantur.

9 Dixit autem Dominus nocte per visionem Paulo: Noli timere, sed loquere, et ne taceas:

10 propter quod ego sum tecum, et nemo apponetur tibi ut noceat te: quoniam populus est mihi multus in hac civitate.

11 Sedit autem ibi annum et sex menses, docens apud eos verbum Dei.

12 Gallione autem proconsule Achaiæ, insurrexerunt uno animo Judæi in Paulum, et adduxerunt eum ad tribunal,

13 dicentes: Quia contra legem hic persuadet hominibus colere Deum.

14 Incipiente autem Paulo aperire os, dixit Gallio ad Judæos: Si quidem esset iniquum aliquid aut facinus pessimum, o viri Judæi, recte vos sustinerem.

15 Si vero quæstiones sunt de verbo, et nominibus, et lege vestra, vos ipsi videritis: judex ego horum nolo esse.

16 Et minavit eos a tribunali.

17 Apprehendentes autem omnes Sosthenem principem synagogæ, percutiebant eum ante tribunal: et nihil eorum Gallioni curæ erat.

18 Paulus vero cum adhuc sustinuisset dies multos fratribus valefaciens, navigavit in Syriam (et cum eo Priscilla et Aquila), qui sibi totonderat in Cenchris caput: habebat enim votum.

19 Devenitque Ephesum, et illos ibi reliquit. Ipse vero ingressus synagogam, disputabat cum Judæis.

20 Rogantibus autem eis ut ampliori tempore maneret, non consensit,

21 sed valefaciens, et dicens: Iterum revertar ad vos, Deo volente: profectus est ab Epheso.

22 Et descendens Cæsaream, ascendit, et salutavit ecclesiam, et descendit Antiochiam.

23 Et facto ibi aliquanto tempore profectus est, perambulans ex ordine Galaticam regionem, et Phrygiam, confirmans omnes discipulos.

24 Judæus autem quidam, Apollo nomine, Alexandrinus genere, vir eloquens, devenit Ephesum, potens in scripturis.

25 Hic erat edoctus viam Domini: et fervens spiritu loquebatur, et docebat diligenter ea quæ sunt Jesu, sciens tantum baptisma Joannis.

26 Hic ergo cœpit fiducialiter agere in synagoga. Quem cum audissent Priscilla et Aquila, assumpserunt eum, et diligentius exposuerunt ei viam Domini.

27 Cum autem vellet ire Achaiam, exhortati fratres, scripserunt discipulis ut susciperent eum. Qui cum venisset, contulit multum his qui crediderant.

28 Vehementer enim Judæos revincebat publice, ostendens per Scripturas esse Christum Jesum.
