But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

δὲ de “however”

But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;

δὲ de “now”

but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don't want to be a judge of these matters."

δὲ de “however”

He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They said to him, "No, we haven't even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."

δὲ de “And”

He said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into John's baptism."

δὲ de “And”

Paul said, "John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus."
