G1161–δέ–de

And having been made clean, I was in the Temple, but not with a great number of people, and not with noise: but there were certain Jews from Asia,

δὲ de “however [are]”

But Felix, who had a more detailed knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, When Lysias, the chief captain, comes down, I will give attention to your business.

δὲ de “then”

But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was of the Jews by birth, and sent for Paul, and gave hearing to him about faith in Christ Jesus.

δὲ de “then”

And while he was talking about righteousness and self-control and the judging which was to come, Felix had great fear and said, Go away for the present, and when the right time comes I will send for you.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “then”

For he was hoping that Paul would give him money: so he sent for him more frequently and had talk with him.

δὲ de “now”

But after two years Porcius Festus took the place of Felix, who, desiring to have the approval of the Jews, kept Paul in chains.

δὲ de “however”

But Festus, in answer, said that Paul was being kept in prison at Caesarea, and that in a short time he himself was going there.

δὲ de “however”

And when he had been with them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the day after, he took his place on the judge's seat, and sent for Paul.

δὲ de “then”

And when he came, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem came round him, and made all sorts of serious statements against him, which were not supported by the facts.

δὲ de “then”

But Festus, desiring to get the approval of the Jews, said to Paul, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and be judged before me there in connection with these things?

δὲ de “however”

And Paul said, I am before the seat of Caesar's authority where it is right for me to be judged: I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you are well able to see.

δὲ de “then”

If, then, I am a wrongdoer and there is a cause of death in me, I am ready for death: if it is not as they say against me, no man may give me up to them. Let my cause come before Caesar.

δὲ de “however”

Now when some days had gone by, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea and went to see Festus.

δὲ de “now”

And as they were there for some days, Festus gave them Paul's story, saying, There is a certain man here who was put in prison by Felix:

δὲ de “now”

But had certain questions against him in connection with their religion, and about one Jesus, now dead, who, Paul said, was living.

δέ de “however”

And as I had not enough knowledge for the discussion of these things, I made the suggestion to him to go to Jerusalem and be judged there.

δὲ de “now”

But when Paul made a request that he might be judged by Caesar, I gave orders for him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

δὲ de “But”

And Agrippa said to Festus, I have a desire to give the man a hearing myself. Tomorrow, he said, you may give him a hearing.

δὲ de “then”δέ de “now”

But, in my opinion, there is no cause of death in him, and as he himself has made a request to be judged by Caesar, I have said that I would send him.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “and”

And Agrippa said to Paul, You may put your cause before us. Then Paul, stretching out his hand, made his answer, saying:

δὲ de “then”

And I said, Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “And”

And when he made his answer in these words, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, you are off your head; your great learning has made you unbalanced.

δὲ de “now”

Then Paul said, I am not off my head, most noble Festus, but my words are true and wise.

δὲ de “But”

And Agrippa said to Paul, A little more and you will be making me a Christian.

δὲ de “Then”

And Paul said, It is my prayer to God that, in little or great measure, not only you, but all those hearing me today might be even as I am, but for these chains.

δὲ de “And”
