Atos dos Apóstolos 18

1E depois disto ele partiu de Atenas, e veio a Corinto.

1After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

2E achando a um certo judeu, de nome Áquila, natural de Ponto, que recentemente tinha vindo da Itália, e Priscila, sua mulher (porque Cláudio tinha mandado que todos os judeus saíssem de Roma), veio até eles.

2And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

3E porque era do mesmo ofício, ficou com eles, e trabalhava; porque tinham o ofício de fazerem tendas.

3And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

4E ele disputava na sinagoga a cada sábado; e persuadia a judeus e a gregos.

4And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

5E quando Silas e Timóteo desceram da Macedônia, Paulo foi pressionado pelo Espírito, dando testemunho aos judeus de que o Cristo era Jesus.

5And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.

6Mas tendo eles resistido e blasfemado, ele sacudiu as roupas, e lhes disse: Vosso sangue seja sobre vossa cabeça; eu estou limpo; e a partir de agora irei aos gentios.

6And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

7E tendo saído dali, entrou na cada de um, de nome Justo, que servia a Deus, cuja casa era vizinha à sinagoga.

7And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

8E Crispo, o chefe da sinagoga, creu no Senhor com toda a sua casa; e muitos dos coríntios, tendo ouvido, creram e foram batizados.

8And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

9E o Senhor disse em visão de noite a Paulo: Não temas, mas fala, e não te cales.

9Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

10Porque eu estou contigo, e ninguém porá mão em ti para te fazer mal, porque eu tenho muito povo nesta cidade.

10For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

11E ele ficou ali por um ano e seis meses, ensinando entre eles a palavra de Deus.

11And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

12Mas sendo Gálio o procônsul da Acaia, os judeus se levantaram em concordância contra Paulo, e o trouxeram ao tribunal,

12And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

13Dizendo: Este persuade as pessoas a servirem a Deus contra a Lei.

13Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

14E Paulo, querendo abrir a boca, Gálio disse aos judeus: Se houvesse algum mau ato ou crime grande, ó judeus, com razão eu vos suportaria;

14And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

15Mas se a questão é de palavra s, e de nomes, e da Lei que há entre vós, vede -o vós mesmos; porque destas coisas eu não quero ser juiz.

15But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.

16E ele os tirou do tribunal.

16And he drave them from the judgment seat.

17Mas todos os gregos, tomando a Sóstenes, o chefe da sinagoga, feriram -no diante do tribunal; e a nada destas coisas Gálio dava importância.

17Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.

18E Paulo, ficando ali ainda muitos dias, ele se despediu dos irmãos, e dali navegou para a Síria, e juntos com ele estavam Priscila e Áquila; tendo rapado a cabeça em Cencreia, porque ele tinha feito voto.

18And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

19E chegou a Éfeso, e os deixou ali; mas ele, entrando na sinagoga, disputava com os judeus.

19And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

20E eles, pedindo -lhe que continuasse com eles por mais algum tempo, ele não concordou.

20When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;

21Porém despediu-se deles, dizendo: De toda maneira tenho que estar na festa que vem em Jerusalém; mas outra vez, se Deus quiser, voltarei a vós. E ele saiu de Éfeso.

21But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.

22E tendo vindo a Cesareia, subiu e, saudando à igreja, desceu a Antioquia.

22And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.

23E passando ali algum tempo, ele partiu, passando em sequência pela região da Galácia e Frígia, firmando a todos os discípulos.

23And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

24E chegou a Éfeso um certo judeu, de nome Apolo, natural de Alexandria, homem eloquente, bem capacitado nas Escrituras.

24And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

25Este era instruído no caminho do Senhor; e fervoroso de espírito, falava e ensinava corretamente as coisas do Senhor; ainda que soubesse somente o batismo de João.

25This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

26E este começou a falar ousadamente na sinagoga; e Áquila e Priscila, ao o ouvirem, tomaram-no consigo, e explicaram mais detalhadamente o caminho de Deus.

26And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

27E ele, querendo passar a Acaia, os irmãos o exortaram, e escreveram aos discípulos que o recebessem; o qual, tendo chegado, auxiliou muito aos que tinham crido pela graça.

27And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:

28Porque vigorosamente ele provava publicamente os erros dos judeus, mostrando pelas Escrituras que Jesus era o Cristo.

28For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
