G1096–γίνομαι–ginomai

When matters had reached this point, Paul decided in his own mind to travel through Macedonia and Greece, and go to Jerusalem. "After that," he said, "I must also see Rome."

γενέσθαι genesthai “being”

Now just at that time there arose no small commotion about the new faith.

Ἐγένετο Egeneto “Arose”

and you see and hear that, not in Ephesus only but throughout almost the whole province of Asia, this fellow Paul has led away a vast number of people by inducing them to believe that they are not gods at all that are made by men's hands.

γινόμενοι. ginomenoi “being made.”

After listening to this harangue, they became furiously angry and kept calling out, "Great is the Ephesian Diana!"

γενόμενοι genomenoi “having become”

No sooner, however, did they see that he was a Jew, than there arose from them all one roar of shouting, lasting about two hours. "Great is the Ephesian Diana," they said.

ἐγένετο egeneto “there was”

The Jews having planned to waylay him whenever he might be on the point of taking ship for Syria, he decided to travel back by way of Macedonia.

γενομένης genomenēs “having been made”ἐγένετο egeneto “arose”

For Paul's plan was to sail past Ephesus, so as not to spend much time in the province of Asia; since he was very desirous of being in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of the Harvest Festival.

γένηται genētai “it may happen”γενέσθαι genesthai “to be”

Upon their arrival he said to them, "You Elders well know, from the first day of my setting foot in the province of Asia, the kind of life I lived among you the whole time,

ἐγενόμην egenomēn “I was”

and with loud lamentation they all threw their arms round his neck, and kissed him lovingly,

ἐγένετο egeneto “there was”

When, at last, we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran in a straight course to Cos; the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

ἐγένετο egeneto “it happened”

When, however, our time was up, we left and went on our way, all the disciples and their wives and children coming to see us off. Then, after kneeling down on the beach and praying,

ἐγένετο egeneto “it happened that”

So when he was not to be dissuaded, we ceased remonstrating with him and said, "The Lord's will be done!"

γινέσθω. ginesthō “should be [done].”

At length we reached Jerusalem, and there the brethren gave us a hearty welcome.

Γενομένων Genomenōn “Having arrived”

The excitement spread through the whole city, and the people rushed in crowds to the Temple, and there laid hold of Paul and began to drag him out; and the Temple gates were immediately closed.

ἐγένετο egeneto “there was”

When Paul was going up the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob;

ἐγένετο egeneto “he came”

So with his permission Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people to be quiet; and when there was perfect silence he addressed them in Hebrew.

γενομένης genomenēs “having taken place”

"But on my way, when I was now not far from Damascus, about noon a sudden blaze of light from Heaven shone round me.

ἐγένετο egeneto “It happened”

"Now the men who were with me, though they saw the light, did not hear the words of Him who spoke to me.

ἐγένοντο, egenonto “they were”

"After my return to Jerusalem, and while praying in the Temple, I fell into a trance.

Ἐγένετο Egeneto “It happened”γενέσθαι genesthai “falling”

These words of his caused an angry dispute between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly took different sides.

ἐγένετο egeneto “arose”

So there arose a great uproar; and some of the Scribes belonging to the sect of the Pharisees sprang to their feet and fiercely contended, saying, "We find no harm in the man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel----!"

Ἐγένετο Egeneto “Arose”

But when the struggle was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by the people, ordered the troops to go down and take him from among them by force and bring him into the barracks.

γινομένης ginomenēs “is becoming”

Now, when daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and solemnly swore not to eat or drink till they had killed Paul.

Γενομένης Genomenēs “When it was becoming”

So Paul was sent for, and Tertullus began to impeach him as follows: "Indebted as we are," he said, "to you, most noble Felix, for the perfect peace which we enjoy, and for reforms which your wisdom has introduced to this nation,

γινομένων ginomenōn “are being done”

But when he dealt with the subjects of justice, self-control, and the judgement which was soon to come, Felix became alarmed and said, "For the present leave me, and when I can find a convenient opportunity I will send for you."
