who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, did leave off beating Paul.

δὲ de “And”

and some were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried to the castle,

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “now”

and when he came upon the steps, it happened he was borne by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude,

δὲ de “now”

And Paul being about to be led into the castle, saith to the chief captain, `Is it permitted to me to say anything unto thee?' and he said, `Greek dost thou know?

δὲ de “Then”

And Paul said, `I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, of no mean city a citizen; and I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.'

δὲ de “however”δέ de “however”

And he having given him leave, Paul having stood upon the stairs, did beckon with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “then”

and they having heard that in the Hebrew dialect he was speaking to them, gave the more silence, and he saith, --

δὲ de “then”

`I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, and brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, having been taught according to the exactitude of a law of the fathers, being zealous of God, as all ye are to-day.

δὲ de “however”

and it came to pass, in my going on and coming nigh to Damascus, about noon, suddenly out of the heaven there shone a great light round about me,

δέ de “however”

`And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? and he said unto me, I am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou dost persecute --

δὲ de “then”

and they who are with me the light did see, and became afraid, and the voice they heard not of him who is speaking to me --

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “however”

and I said, What shall I do, Lord? and the Lord said unto me, Having risen, go on to Damascus, and there it shall be told thee concerning all things that have been appointed for thee to do.

δέ· de “then;”δὲ de “And”

`And when I did not see from the glory of that light, being led by the hand by those who are with me, I came to Damascus,

δὲ de “now”

and a certain one, Ananias, a pious man according to the law, being testified to by all the Jews dwelling `there',

δέ de “then”

and he said, The God of our fathers did choose thee beforehand to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice out of his mouth,

δὲ de “And”

`And it came to pass when I returned to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, I came into a trance,

δέ de “then”

And they were hearing him unto this word, and they lifted up their voice, saying, `Away from the earth with such an one; for it is not fit for him to live.'

δὲ de “now”

And as he was stretching him with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion who was standing by, `A man, a Roman, uncondemned -- is it lawful to you to scourge;'

δὲ de “however”

and the centurion having heard, having gone near to the chief captain, told, saying, `Take heed what thou art about to do, for this man is a Roman;'

δὲ de “then”

and the chief captain having come near, said to him, `Tell me, art thou a Roman?' and he said, `Yes;'

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “And”

and the chief captain answered, `I, with a great sum, did obtain this citizenship;' but Paul said, `But I have been even born `so'.'

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

Immediately, therefore, they departed from him who are about to examine him, and the chief captain also was afraid, having learned that he is a Roman, and because he had bound him,

and on the morrow, intending to know the certainty wherefore he is accused by the Jews, he did loose him from the bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their sanhedrim to come, and having brought down Paul, he set `him' before them.

δὲ de “now”

And Paul having earnestly beheld the sanhedrim, said, `Men, brethren, I in all good conscience have lived to God unto this day;'

δὲ de “then”

and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to smite him on the mouth,
