Apostelenes gerninger 18

² Der traf han en Jøde ved Navn Akvila, født i Pontus, som nylig var kommen fra Italien med sin Hustru Priskilla, fordi Klaudius havde befalet, at alle Jøderne skulde forlade Rom. Til disse gik han.

² And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, having recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them,

⁴ Men han holdt Samtaler i Synagogen på hver Sabbat og overbeviste Jøder og Grækere.

⁴ And he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath and trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.

⁶ Men da de stode imod og spottede, rystede han Støvet af sine Klæder og sagde til dem: "Eders Blod komme over eders Hoved! Jeg er ren; herefter vil jeg gå til Hedningerne."

⁶ But when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

⁸ Men Synagogeforstanderen Krispus troede på Herren tillige med hele sit Hus, og mange af Korinthierne, som hørte til, troede og bleve døbte.

⁸ Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized.

¹⁰ eftersom jeg er med dig, og ingen skal lægge Hånd på dig for at gøre dig noget ondt; thi jeg har et talrigt Folk i denne By."

¹⁰ for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”

¹² Men medens Gallio var Statholder i Akaja, stode Jøderne endrægtigt op imod Paulus og førte ham for Domstolen og sagde:

¹² But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

¹⁴ Og da Paulus vilde oplade Munden, sagde Gallio til Jøderne: " Dersom det var nogen Uret eller Misgerning, I Jøder! vilde jeg, som billigt var, tålmodigt høre på eder.

¹⁴ But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you;

¹⁶ Og han drev dem bort fra Domstolen.

¹⁶ And he drove them away from the judgment seat.

¹⁸ Men Paulus blev der endnu i mange dage; derefter tog han Afsked med Brødrene og sejlede bort til Syrien og med ham Priskilla og Akvila, efter at han havde ladet sit Hår klippe af i Kenkreæ; thi han havde et Løfte på sig.

¹⁸ Paul, having remained many days longer, took leave of the brethren and put out to sea for Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. In Cenchrea he had his hair cut, for he was keeping a vow.

²⁰ Men da de bade ham om at blive i længere Tid, samtykkede han ikke;

²⁰ When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent,

²² og landede i Kæsarea, drog op og hilste på Menigheden og drog så ned til Antiokia.

²² When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.

²⁴ Men en Jøde ved Navn Apollos, født i Aleksandria, en veltalende Mand, som var stærk i Skrifterne, kom til Efesus.

²⁴ Now a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures.

²⁶ Og han begyndte at tale frimodigt i Synagogen. Men da Priskilla og Akvila hørte ham,toge de ham til sig og udlagde ham Guds Vej nøjere.

²⁶ and he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

²⁸ thi han gendrev Jøderne offentligt med stor Kraft og beviste ved Skrifterne, at Jesus er Kristus. 

²⁸ for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
