G3588–ὁ–ho

After exchanging friendly greetings, Paul told in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his instrumentality.

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῖς tois “the”τῆς tēs “the”

And they, when they had heard his statement, gave the glory to God. Then they said, "You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of Jews there are among those who have accepted the faith, and they are all zealous upholders of the Law.

οἱ hoi “Those”τὸν ton “<the>”τοῖς tois “the”τῶν tōn “who”τοῦ tou “for the”

Now what they have been repeatedly told about you is that you teach all the Jews among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, and that you forbid them to circumcise their children or observe old-established customs.

τοὺς tous “those”τὰ ta “the”τὰ ta “the”τοῖς tois “in the”

Associate with these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads. Then everybody will know that there is no truth in these stories about you, but that in your own actions you yourself scrupulously obey th

τὴν tēn “the”τὸν ton “the”

But as for the Gentiles who have accepted the faith, we have communicated to them our decision that they are carefully to abstain from anything sacrificed to an idol, from blood, from what is strangled, and from fornication."

τῶν tōn “those”τό to “the”τὸ to “<the>”

So Paul associated with the men; and the next day, having purified himself with them, he went into the Temple, giving every one to understand that the days of their purification were finished, and there he remained until the sacrifice for each of the

But, when the seven days were nearly over, the Jews from the province of Asia, having seen Paul in the Temple, set about rousing the fury of all the people against him.

αἱ hai “the”οἱ hoi “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τῷ tō “the”τὸν ton “the”τὰς tas “<the>”

They laid hands on him, crying out, "Men of Israel, help! help! This is the man who goes everywhere preaching to everybody against the Jewish people and the Law and this place. And besides, he has even brought Gentiles into the Temple and has desecrated

(For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and imagined that Paul had brought him into the Temple.)

τὸν ton “the”τῇ tēa “the”τὸ to “the”ὁ ho “<the>”

The excitement spread through the whole city, and the people rushed in crowds to the Temple, and there laid hold of Paul and began to drag him out; and the Temple gates were immediately closed.

But while they were trying to kill Paul, word was taken up to the Tribune in command of the battalion, that all Jerusalem was in a ferment.

τῷ tō “to the”τῆς tēs “of the”

He instantly sent for a few soldiers and their officers, and came down among the people with all speed. At the sight of the Tribune and the troops they ceased beating Paul.

οἱ hoi “<the>”τὸν ton “the”τοὺς tous “the”τὸν ton “<the>”

Then the Tribune, making his way to him, arrested him, and, having ordered him to be secured with two chains, proceeded to ask who he was and what he had been doing.

ὁ ho “the”

Some of the crowd shouted one accusation against Paul and some another, until, as the uproar made it impossible for the truth to be ascertained with certainty, the Tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks.

τῷ tō “the”τὸ to “the”τὸν ton “the”τὴν tēn “the”

When Paul was going up the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob;

τοὺς tous “the”τῶν tōn “the”τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

for the whole mass of the people pressed on in the rear, shouting, "Away with him!"

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

When he was about to be taken into the barracks, Paul said to the Tribune, "May I speak to you?" "Do you know Greek?" the Tribune asked.

τὴν tēn “the”ὁ ho “<the>”τῷ tō “to the”ὁ ho “<the>”

"Are you not the Egyptian who some years ago excited the riot of the 4,000 cut-throats, and led them out into the Desert?"

"I am a Jew," replied Paul, "belonging to Tarsus in Cilicia, and am a citizen of no unimportant city. Give me leave, I pray you, to speak to the people."

ὁ ho “<the>”τῆς tēs “<the>”τὸν ton “the”

So with his permission Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people to be quiet; and when there was perfect silence he addressed them in Hebrew.

ὁ ho “<the>”τῶν tōn “the”τῇ tēa “with the”τῷ tō “to the”τῇ tēa “in the”

"Brethren and fathers," he said, "listen to my defence which I now make before you."

τῆς tēs “the”

And on hearing him address them in Hebrew, they kept all the more quiet; and he said,

τῇ tēa “in the”

"I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city. I was carefully trained at the feet of Gamaliel in the Law of our forefathers, and, like all of you to-day, was zealous for God.

I persecuted to death this new faith, continually binding both men and women and throwing them into prison;

as the High Priest also and all the Elders can bear me witness. It was, too, from them that I received letters to the brethren in Damascus, and I was already on my way to Damascus, intending to bring those also who had fled there, in chains to Jerusalem,
