G3588–ὁ–ho

One day, as we were on our way to the place of prayer, a slave girl met us who claimed to be inspired and was accustomed to bring her owners large profits by telling fortunes.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῖς tois “the”

She kept following close behind Paul and the rest of us, crying aloud, "These men are the bondservants of the Most High God, and are proclaiming to you the way of salvation."

τῷ tō “<the>”οἱ hoi “<the>”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

This she persisted in for a considerable time, until Paul, wearied out, turned round and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out immediately.

ὁ ho “<the>”τῷ tō “to the”τῷ tō “the”τῇ tēa “<the>”

But when her owners saw that their hopes of gain were gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them off to the magistrates in the public square.

οἱ hoi “the”ἡ hē “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τὸν ton “<the>”τὸν ton “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”τοὺς tous “the”

Then they brought them before the praetors. "These men," they said, "are creating a great disturbance in our city.

τοῖς tois “to the”οἱ hoi “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”

The crowd, too, joined in the outcry against them, till at length the praetors ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods;

ὁ ho “the”οἱ hoi “the”τὰ ta “the”

and, after severely flogging them, they threw them into jail and bade the jailer keep them safely.

τῷ tō “the”

He, having received an order like that, lodged them in the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.

τὴν tēn “the”τοὺς tous “the”τὸ to “the”

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,

τὸ to “<the>”τὸν ton “<the>”οἱ hoi “the”

when suddenly there was such a violent shock of earthquake that the prison shook to its foundations. Instantly the doors all flew open, and the chains fell off from every prisoner.

τὰ ta “the”τοῦ tou “of the”αἱ hai “the”τὰ ta “the”

Starting up from sleep and seeing the doors of the jail wide open, the jailer drew his sword and was on the point of killing himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

ὁ ho “the”τὰς tas “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τὴν tēn “<the>”τοὺς tous “the”

But Paul shouted loudly to him, saying, "Do yourself no injury: we are all here.

ὁ ho “<the>”

Then, calling for lights, he sprang in and fell trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas;

τῷ tō “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”

"Believe on the Lord Jesus," they replied, "and both you and your household will be saved."

οἱ hoi “<the>”τὸν ton “the”ὁ ho “the”

And they told the Lord's Message to him as well as to all who were in his house.

τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῖς tois “those”τῇ tēa “the”

Then he took them, even at that time of night, washed their wounds, and he and all his household were immediately baptized;

τῇ tēa “<the>”τῆς tēs “of the”τῶν tōn “the”οἱ hoi “the [household]”

and bringing the Apostles up into his house, he spread a meal for them, and was filled with gladness, with his whole household, his faith resting on God.

τὸν ton “the”τῷ tō “<the>”

In the morning the praetors sent their lictors with the order, "Release those men."

οἱ hoi “the”τοὺς tous “the”τοὺς tous “the”

So the jailer brought Paul word, saying, "The praetors have sent orders for you to be released. Now therefore you can go, and proceed on your way in peace."

ὁ ho “the”τοὺς tous “<the>”τὸν ton “<the>”οἱ hoi “the”

But Paul said to them, "After cruelly beating us in public, without trial, Roman citizens though we are, they have thrown us into prison, and are they now going to send us away privately? No, indeed! Let them come in person and fetch us out."

Ὁ Ho “<the>”

This answer the lictors took back to the praetors, who were alarmed when they were told that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.

τοῖς tois “to the”οἱ hoi “the”τὰ ta “<the>”

Accordingly they came and apologized to them; and, bringing them out, asked them to leave the city.

τῆς tēs “the”

Then Paul and Silas, having come out of the prison, went to Lydia's house; and, after seeing the brethren and encouraging them, they left Philippi.

τῆς tēs “the”τὴν tēn “<the>”τοὺς tous “the”

Then, passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they went to Thessalonica. Here there was a synagogue of the Jews.

τὴν tēn “<the>”τὴν tēn “<the>”ἡ hē “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

Paul--following his usual custom--betook himself to it, and for three successive Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

τὸ to “the”τῷ tō “<the>”τῶν tōn “the”
