Paul's First Missionary Journey: Antioch in Pisidia
Paulus and Barnabas come to Antioch in Pisidia and speak in the synagogue on the Sabbath. Paul delivers a long speech where he summarizes Israel's history from the election and the exodus from Egypt, through the judges, Saul and David, up to Jesus as the promised Savior, and proclaims forgiveness and justification by faith. The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathers, but the Jews are filled with jealousy and contradict them. Paulus and Barnabas then turn boldly to the Gentiles, who receive the word with joy. The Jews incite leading men and noble women, and persecution drives the apostles out to Iconium, while the disciples are filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
Apostolien teot 13,14-52
14They went on from Perga and arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. On the Sabbath they went into the synagogue and sat down.
αὐτοὶ δὲ διελθόντες ἀπὸ τῆς Πέργης παρεγένοντο εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν ⸂τὴν Πισιδίαν⸃, καὶ ⸀εἰσελθόντες εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἐκάθισαν.
15After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: "Brothers, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, speak."
μετὰ δὲ τὴν ἀνάγνωσιν τοῦ νόμου καὶ τῶν προφητῶν ἀπέστειλαν οἱ ἀρχισυνάγωγοι πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγοντες· Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, εἴ ⸀τίς ἐστιν ⸂ἐν ὑμῖν λόγος⸃ παρακλήσεως πρὸς τὸν λαόν, λέγετε.
16So Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and said: "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen to me.
ἀναστὰς δὲ Παῦλος καὶ κατασείσας τῇ χειρὶ εἶπεν· Ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν, ἀκούσατε.
17The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made them a great people during their stay in Egypt; then with a mighty arm he led them out of it,
ὁ θεὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου ⸀Ἰσραὴλ ἐξελέξατο τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν, καὶ τὸν λαὸν ὕψωσεν ἐν τῇ παροικίᾳ ἐν γῇ ⸀Αἰγύπτου, καὶ μετὰ βραχίονος ὑψηλοῦ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐξ αὐτῆς,
18and for about forty years he bore with them in the wilderness.
καί, ὡς τεσσερακονταετῆ χρόνον ἐτροποφόρησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,
19He overthrew seven nations in Canaan and gave their land to our fathers as an inheritance.
⸀καὶ καθελὼν ἔθνη ἑπτὰ ἐν γῇ Χανάαν ⸀κατεκληρονόμησεν τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν
20All this took about four hundred and fifty years. After that he gave them judges, until the time of Samuel the prophet.
⸂ὡς ἔτεσι τετρακοσίοις καὶ πεντήκοντα. καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα⸃ ἔδωκεν κριτὰς ἕως Σαμουὴλ ⸀τοῦ προφήτου.
21Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled for forty years.
κἀκεῖθεν ᾐτήσαντο βασιλέα, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς τὸν Σαοὺλ υἱὸν Κίς, ἄνδρα ἐκ φυλῆς Βενιαμίν, ἔτη τεσσεράκοντα·
22After removing him, he raised up David to be their king, and testified about him: 'I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do all that I want him to do.'
καὶ μεταστήσας αὐτὸν ἤγειρεν ⸂τὸν Δαυὶδ αὐτοῖς⸃ εἰς βασιλέα, ᾧ καὶ εἶπεν μαρτυρήσας· Εὗρον Δαυὶδ τὸν τοῦ Ἰεσσαί, ἄνδρα κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν μου, ὃς ποιήσει πάντα τὰ θελήματά μου.
23From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.
τούτου ὁ θεὸς ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος κατʼ ἐπαγγελίαν ἤγαγεν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ⸂σωτῆρα Ἰησοῦν⸃,
24Before his coming, John had proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
προκηρύξαντος Ἰωάννου πρὸ προσώπου τῆς εἰσόδου αὐτοῦ βάπτισμα μετανοίας ⸂παντὶ τῷ λαῷ⸃ Ἰσραήλ.
25As John was completing his course, he said: 'Who do you suppose I am? I am not the one. No, but one is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.'
ὡς δὲ ἐπλήρου ⸀Ἰωάννης τὸν δρόμον, ἔλεγεν· ⸂Τί ἐμὲ⸃ ὑπονοεῖτε εἶναι; οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγώ· ἀλλʼ ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται μετʼ ἐμὲ οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἄξιος τὸ ὑπόδημα τῶν ποδῶν λῦσαι.
26Brothers, children of Abraham, and you who fear God: it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, υἱοὶ γένους Ἀβραὰμ καὶ οἱ ἐν ὑμῖν φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν, ⸀ἡμῖν ὁ λόγος τῆς σωτηρίας ταύτης ⸀ἐξαπεστάλη.
27The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize him, and by condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
οἱ γὰρ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν τοῦτον ἀγνοήσαντες καὶ τὰς φωνὰς τῶν προφητῶν τὰς κατὰ πᾶν σάββατον ἀναγινωσκομένας κρίναντες ἐπλήρωσαν,
28Though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.
καὶ μηδεμίαν αἰτίαν θανάτου εὑρόντες ᾐτήσαντο Πιλᾶτον ἀναιρεθῆναι αὐτόν·
29When they had carried out everything written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
ὡς δὲ ἐτέλεσαν πάντα τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα, καθελόντες ἀπὸ τοῦ ξύλου ἔθηκαν εἰς μνημεῖον.
30But God raised him from the dead,
ὁ δὲ θεὸς ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν·
31and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to the people.
ὃς ὤφθη ἐπὶ ἡμέρας πλείους τοῖς συναναβᾶσιν αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, οἵτινες ⸀νῦν εἰσὶ μάρτυρες αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν λαόν.
32And we bring you the good news: what God promised our fathers
καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμᾶς εὐαγγελιζόμεθα τὴν πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἐπαγγελίαν γενομένην
33he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: 'You are my Son; today I have begotten you.'
ὅτι ταύτην ὁ θεὸς ἐκπεπλήρωκεν τοῖς τέκνοις ⸀ἡμῶν ἀναστήσας Ἰησοῦν, ὡς καὶ ἐν τῷ ⸂ψαλμῷ γέγραπται τῷ δευτέρῳ⸃· Υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε.
34And that he raised him from the dead, never to return to decay, he declared in these words: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.'
ὅτι δὲ ἀνέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν μηκέτι μέλλοντα ὑποστρέφειν εἰς διαφθοράν, οὕτως εἴρηκεν ὅτι Δώσω ὑμῖν τὰ ὅσια Δαυὶδ τὰ πιστά.
35So it is said in another place: 'You will not let your Holy One see decay.'
⸀διότι καὶ ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει· Οὐ δώσεις τὸν ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν·
36Now David, after serving God's purpose in his own generation, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and did see decay.
Δαυὶδ μὲν γὰρ ἰδίᾳ γενεᾷ ὑπηρετήσας τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ βουλῇ ἐκοιμήθη καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδεν διαφθοράν,
37But the one whom God raised up did not see decay.
ὃν δὲ ὁ θεὸς ἤγειρεν οὐκ εἶδεν διαφθοράν.
38Therefore, brothers, know this: through him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you—and from everything from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses,
γνωστὸν οὖν ἔστω ὑμῖν, ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ὅτι διὰ τούτου ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται, καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν οὐκ ἠδυνήθητε ⸀ἐν νόμῳ Μωϋσέως δικαιωθῆναι
39through him everyone who believes is justified.
ἐν τούτῳ πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων δικαιοῦται.
40Take care, then, that what is said in the Prophets does not come upon you:
βλέπετε οὖν μὴ ⸀ἐπέλθῃ τὸ εἰρημένον ἐν τοῖς προφήταις·
41'Look, you scoffers—marvel and perish! For I am doing a work in your days, a work you would never believe, even if someone told you.'
Ἴδετε, οἱ καταφρονηταί, καὶ θαυμάσατε καὶ ἀφανίσθητε, ὅτι ἔργον ⸂ἐργάζομαι ἐγὼ⸃ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν, ⸀ἔργον ὃ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε ἐάν τις ἐκδιηγῆται ὑμῖν.
42As they were leaving, the people urged them to speak about these things again on the next Sabbath.
Ἐξιόντων δὲ ⸀αὐτῶν ⸀παρεκάλουν εἰς τὸ μεταξὺ σάββατον λαληθῆναι αὐτοῖς τὰ ῥήματα ⸀ταῦτα.
43When the assembly broke up, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke with them and urged them to remain in the grace of God.
λυθείσης δὲ τῆς συναγωγῆς ἠκολούθησαν πολλοὶ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ τῶν σεβομένων προσηλύτων τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Βαρναβᾷ, οἵτινες προσλαλοῦντες ⸀αὐτοῖς ἔπειθον αὐτοὺς ⸀προσμένειν τῇ χάριτι τοῦ θεοῦ.
44On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
Τῷ ⸀δὲ ἐρχομένῳ σαββάτῳ σχεδὸν πᾶσα ἡ πόλις συνήχθη ἀκοῦσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ ⸀κυρίου.
45But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and contradicted what Paul was saying, heaping insults on him.
ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τοὺς ὄχλους ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου καὶ ἀντέλεγον τοῖς ⸀ὑπὸ Παύλου ⸀λαλουμένοις ⸀βλασφημοῦντες.
46Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly: "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first. But since you reject it and do not judge yourselves worthy of eternal life, look, we are turning to the Gentiles.
παρρησιασάμενοί ⸀τε ὁ Παῦλος καὶ ὁ Βαρναβᾶς εἶπαν· Ὑμῖν ἦν ἀναγκαῖον πρῶτον λαληθῆναι τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ· ⸀ἐπειδὴ ἀπωθεῖσθε αὐτὸν καὶ οὐκ ἀξίους κρίνετε ἑαυτοὺς τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς, ἰδοὺ στρεφόμεθα εἰς τὰ ἔθνη·
47For this is what the Lord has commanded us: 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'"
οὕτως γὰρ ἐντέταλται ἡμῖν ὁ κύριος· Τέθεικά σε εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν τοῦ εἶναί σε εἰς σωτηρίαν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.
48When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
ἀκούοντα δὲ τὰ ἔθνη ⸀ἔχαιρον καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν λόγον τοῦ ⸀κυρίου, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν ὅσοι ἦσαν τεταγμένοι εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον·
49And the word of the Lord spread through the whole region.
διεφέρετο δὲ ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου διʼ ὅλης τῆς χώρας.
50But the Jews stirred up the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, and they stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.
οἱ δὲ Ἰουδαῖοι παρώτρυναν τὰς σεβομένας ⸀γυναῖκας τὰς εὐσχήμονας καὶ τοὺς πρώτους τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐπήγειραν διωγμὸν ἐπὶ τὸν Παῦλον ⸀καὶ Βαρναβᾶν, καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν.
51So they shook the dust from their feet against them and went to Iconium.
οἱ δὲ ἐκτιναξάμενοι τὸν κονιορτὸν τῶν ⸀ποδῶν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἦλθον εἰς Ἰκόνιον,
52And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
οἵ ⸀τε μαθηταὶ ἐπληροῦντο χαρᾶς καὶ πνεύματος ἁγίου.
