G1161–δέ–de

Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating Paul.

δὲ de “And”

And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “now”

And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne by the soldiers, for the violence of the people.

δὲ de “now”

And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said to the chief captain, May I speak to thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

δὲ de “Then”

But Paul said, I am a man who am a Jew of Tarsus, a city of Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee suffer me to speak to the people.

δὲ de “however”δέ de “however”

And when he had given him license, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand to the people. And when there was made entire silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “then”

(And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

δὲ de “then”

I am verily a man who am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, being zealous towards God, as ye all are this day.

δὲ de “however”

And it came to pass, that as I was passing on my journey, and had come nigh to Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light around me.

δέ de “however”

And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

δὲ de “then”

And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spoke to me.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “however”

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise, and go into Damascus, and there it shall be told thee concerning all things which are appointed for thee to do.

δέ· de “then;”δὲ de “And”

And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.

δὲ de “now”

And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews who dwelt there,

And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldst know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldst hear the voice of his mouth.

δὲ de “And”

And it came to pass, that when I had come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;

δέ de “then”

And they gave him audience to this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a man from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

δὲ de “now”

And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

δὲ de “however”

When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest; for this man is a Roman.

δὲ de “then”

Then the chief captain came, and said to him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yes.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “And”

And the chief captain answered, With a great sum I obtained this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “But”δὲ de “however”

Then forthwith they departed from him who were about to examine him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty why he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
