G1161–δέ–de

Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the touch of the Apostles' hands, he made them an offering of money, saying,

δὲ de “now”

But Peter said, May your money come to destruction with you, because you had the idea that what is freely given by God may be got for a price.

δὲ de “however”

And Simon, answering, said, Make prayer for me to the Lord, so that these things which you have said may not come on me.

δὲ de “now”

But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Get up, and go to the south, to the road which goes from Jerusalem to Gaza, through the waste land.

δὲ de “now”

And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and get on his carriage.

δὲ de “then”

And Philip, running up to him, saw that he was reading Isaiah the prophet, and said to him, Is the sense of what you are reading clear to you?

δὲ de “then”

And he said, How is that possible when I have no guide? And he made Philip get up by his side.

δὲ de “And”

Now the place in the book where he was reading was this: He was taken, like a sheep, to be put to death; and as a lamb is quiet when its wool is being cut, so he made no sound:

δὲ de “Now”

Being of low degree, his cause was not given a hearing: who has knowledge of his family? for his life is cut off from the earth.

δὲ de “now”

And the Ethiopian said to Philip, About whom are these words said by the prophet? about himself, or some other?

δὲ de “now”

So Philip, starting from this writing, gave him the good news about Jesus.

δὲ de “then”

And while they were going on their way, they came to some water, and the Ethiopian said, See, here is water; why may I not have baptism?

δὲ de “then”

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “now”

And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away; and the Ethiopian saw him no more, for he went on his way full of joy.

δὲ de “now”

But Philip came to Azotus, and went through all the towns, preaching the good news, till he came to Caesarea.

δὲ de “however”

But Saul, still burning with desire to put to death the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

δὲ de “But”

And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;

δὲ de “now”

And he said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking:

δέ· de “then;”δέ de “And [He said]”

And the men who were with him were not able to say anything; hearing the voice, but seeing no one.

δὲ de “And”δὲ de “however”

And Saul got up from the earth, and when his eyes were open, he saw nothing; and he was guided by the hand into Damascus.

Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias! and he said, Here I am, Lord.

And the Lord said to him, Get up, and go to the street which is named Straight, and make search at the house of Judas for one named Saul of Tarsus: for he is at prayer;

δὲ de “And”

But Ananias said, Lord, I have had accounts of this man from a number of people, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem:

δὲ de “but”

But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:

δὲ de “however”

And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.
