G1161–δέ–de

amidst which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult: but [supplied: there were] certain Jews from Asia--

δὲ de “however [are]”

But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will determine your matter.

δὲ de “then”

But after certain days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

δὲ de “then”

And as he reasoned of righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, Go thy way for this time; and when I have a convenient season, I will call thee unto me.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “then”

He hoped withal that money would be given him of Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.

δὲ de “now”

But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

δὲ de “however”

Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart [supplied: thither] shortly.

δὲ de “however”

And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.

δὲ de “then”

And when he was come, the Jews that had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove;

δὲ de “then”

But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

δὲ de “however”

But Paul said, I am standing before Caesar's judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.

δὲ de “then”

If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if none of those things is [supplied: true] whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

δὲ de “however”

Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and saluted Festus.

δὲ de “now”

And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the King, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

δὲ de “now”

but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

δέ de “however”

And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters.

δὲ de “now”

But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar.

δὲ de “But”

And Agrippa [supplied: said] unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. To-morrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him.

δὲ de “then”δέ de “now”

But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “and”

And Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth his hand, and made his defence:

δὲ de “then”

And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “And”

And as he thus made his defense, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning is turning thee mad.

δὲ de “now”

But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness.

δὲ de “But”

And Agrippa [supplied: said] unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian.

δὲ de “Then”

And Paul [supplied: said], I would to God, that whether with little or with much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds.

δὲ de “And”
