δὲ de “now”

"Moses," He replied, "in consideration of the hardness of your nature permitted you to put away your wives, but it has not been so from the beginning.

δὲ de “however”

And I tell you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."

Then young children were brought to Him for Him to put His hands on them and pray; but the disciples interfered.

δὲ de “however”

Jesus however said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of the Heavens belongs."

δὲ de “And”

"Why do you ask me," He replied, "about what is good? There is only One who is truly good. But if you desire to enter into Life, keep the Commandments."

δὲ de “And”δὲ de “however”

δὲ de “then”

And going out about five o'clock he found others loitering, and he asked them, "`Why have you been standing here all day long, doing nothing?'
