δὲ de “then”

And when the men came to him they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

δὲ de “then”

At that time, he made a number of people free from their diseases and their pains, and from evil spirits; and to others who were blind he gave back the use of their eyes.

δὲ de “now”

And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

δὲ de “then”

I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

δὲ de “yet”

But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)

δὲ de “but”

What comparison am I to make of the men of this generation? what are they like?

δὲ de “now”

And one of the Pharisees made a request that he would take a meal with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and took his seat at the table.

δέ de “now”

δὲ de “now”

And Jesus, answering, said, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.

δέ· de “And;”

And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty.

δὲ de “and”

When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him?

δὲ de “now”

Simon, in answer, said, It seems he whose debt was greater. And he said, Your decision is right.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “And”

And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair.

δὲ de “however”

You did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet.

δὲ de “however”

You put no oil on my head: but she has put perfume on my feet.

δὲ de “however”

And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love.

And he said to her, You have forgiveness for your sins.

δὲ de “then”

And he said to the woman, By your faith you have salvation; go in peace.

δὲ de “then”

And when a great number of people came together, and men from every town went out to him, he gave them teaching in the form of a story:

δὲ de “now”

And his disciples put questions to him about the point of the story.

δὲ de “then”

And he said, To you is given knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to the others, they are given in stories, so that seeing, they may not see, and though they give hearing, the sense will not be clear to them.

Now this is the point of the story: The seed is the word of God.

Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation.

δὲ de “now”

And those on the rock are those who with joy give hearing to the word; but having no root, they have faith for a time, and when the test comes they give up.
