G1161–δέ–de

And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.

δὲ de “And”

And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “now”

And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;

δὲ de “now”

And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?

δὲ de “Then”

But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people.

δὲ de “however”δέ de “however”

And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying,

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “then”

And when they heard that he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet: and he saith,

δὲ de “then”

I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as ye all are this day:

δὲ de “however”

And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and drew nigh unto Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.

δέ de “however”

And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

δὲ de “then”

And they that were with me beheld indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “however”

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.

δέ· de “then;”δὲ de “And”

And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me I came into Damascus.

δὲ de “now”

And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there,

δέ de “then”

And he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.

δὲ de “And”

And it came to pass, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance,

δέ de “then”

And they gave him audience unto this word; and they lifted up their voice, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

δὲ de “now”

And when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

δὲ de “however”

And when the centurion heard it, he went to the chief captain and told him, saying, What art thou about to do? for this man is a Roman.

δὲ de “then”

And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “And”

And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am [ergänzt: a Roman] born.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “But”δὲ de “however”

They then that were about to examine him straightway departed from him: and the chief captain also was afraid when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

δὲ de “also”
