The Acts of the Apostles

  Chapter 18  

18:1 After these things, departing from Athens, he came to Corinth.
Post hæc egressus ab Athenis, venit Corinthum:

18:2 And finding a certain Jew, named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had lately come from Italy, with Priscilla, his wife, (because Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome) he came to them.
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.

18:3 And because he was of the same trade, he remained with them, and wrought: (now they were tentmakers by trade.)
Et quia ejusdem erat artis, manebat apud eos, et operabatur. (Erant autem scenofactoriæ artis.)

18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, introducing the name of the Lord Jesus, and he persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Et disputabat in synagoga per omne sabbatum, interponens nomen Domini Jesu: suadebatque Judæis et Græcis.

18:5 And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was earnest in preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
Cum venissent autem de Macedonia Silas et Timotheus, instabat verbo Paulus, testificans Judæis esse Christum Jesum.

18:6 But they contradicting and blaspheming, shaking his garments, he said to them: Your blood be upon your own heads: I am clean: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.
Contradicentibus autem eis, et blasphemantibus, excutiens vestimenta sua, dixit ad eos: Sanguis vester super caput vestrum: mundus ego: ex hoc ad gentes vadam.

18:7 And departing thence, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined to the synagogue.
Et migrans inde, intravit in domum cujusdam, nomine Titi Justi, colentis Deum, cujus domus erat conjuncta synagogæ.

18:8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized.
Crispus autem archisynagogus credidit Domino cum omni domo sua: et multi Corinthiorum audientes credebant, et baptizabantur.

18:9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night, by a vision; Fear not, but speak; and hold not thy peace:
Dixit autem Dominus nocte per visionem Paulo: Noli timere, sed loquere, et ne taceas:

18:10 Because I am with thee: and no man shall set upon thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
propter quod ego sum tecum, et nemo apponetur tibi ut noceat te: quoniam populus est mihi multus in hac civitate.

18:11 And he stayed there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Sedit autem ibi annum et sex menses, docens apud eos verbum Dei.

18:12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat,
Gallione autem proconsule Achaiæ, insurrexerunt uno animo Judæi in Paulum, et adduxerunt eum ad tribunal,

18:13 Saying: That this man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
dicentes: Quia contra legem hic persuadet hominibus colere Deum.

18:14 And when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: If it were some matter of injustice, or a heinous deed, ye Jews, I should with reason bear with you.
Incipiente autem Paulo aperire os, dixit Gallio ad Judæos: Si quidem esset iniquum aliquid aut facinus pessimum, o viri Judæi, recte vos sustinerem.

18:15 But if they be questions of a word, and of names, and of your law, look you to it: I will not be judge of such matters.
Si vero quæstiones sunt de verbo, et nominibus, et lege vestra, vos ipsi videritis: judex ego horum nolo esse.

18:16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
Et minavit eos a tribunali.

18:17 And all laying hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, beat him before the judgment-seat: and Gallio cared for none of those things.
Apprehendentes autem omnes Sosthenem principem synagogæ, percutiebant eum ante tribunal: et nihil eorum Gallioni curæ erat.

18:18 But Paul, when he had stayed yet many days, taking leave of the brethren, he sailed from thence into Syria, (and with him Priscilla and Aquila,) having shorn his head in Cenchra: for he had a vow.
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.

18:19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there. But he himself entering into the synagogue, reasoned with the Jews.
Devenitque Ephesum, et illos ibi reliquit. Ipse vero ingressus synagogam, disputabat cum Judæis.

18:20 And when they intreated him to make a longer stay, he consented not,
Rogantibus autem eis ut ampliori tempore maneret, non consensit,

18:21 But taking his leave, and saying: I will return to you again, God willing, he departed from Ephesus.
sed valefaciens, et dicens: Iterum revertar ad vos, Deo volente: profectus est ab Epheso.

18:22 And going down to Cęsarea, he went up, and saluted the church, and so came down to Antioch.
Et descendens Cæsaream, ascendit, et salutavit ecclesiam, et descendit Antiochiam.

18:23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.
Et facto ibi aliquanto tempore profectus est, perambulans ex ordine Galaticam regionem, et Phrygiam, confirmans omnes discipulos.

18:24 Now, a certain Jew, named Apollo, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, one mighty in the Scriptures.
Judæus autem quidam, Apollo nomine, Alexandrinus genere, vir eloquens, devenit Ephesum, potens in scripturis.

18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit, spoke, and taught diligently the things that are of Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.
Hic erat edoctus viam Domini: et fervens spiritu loquebatur, et docebat diligenter ea quæ sunt Jesu, sciens tantum baptisma Joannis.

18:26 This man, therefore, began to speak boldly in the synagogue. Whom when Priscilla and Aquila had heard, they took him to them, and expounded more perfectly to him the way of the Lord.
Hic ergo cœpit fiducialiter agere in synagoga. Quem cum audissent Priscilla et Aquila, assumpserunt eum, et diligentius exposuerunt ei viam Domini.

18:27 And whereas he was desirous to go to Achaia, the brethren exhorting, wrote to the disciples to receive him. Who, when he was come, helped them much, who had believed.
Cum autem vellet ire Achaiam, exhortati fratres, scripserunt discipulis ut susciperent eum. Qui cum venisset, contulit multum his qui crediderant.

18:28 For he with might convinced the Jews in public, shewing, by the Scriptures, Jesus to be the Christ.
Vehementer enim Judæos revincebat publice, ostendens per Scripturas esse Christum Jesum.
