who, taking with him immediately soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them. But they, seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers, ceased beating Paul.

δὲ de “And”

And different persons cried some different thing in the crowd. But he, not being able to know the certainty on account of the uproar, commanded him to be brought into the fortress.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “now”

But when he got upon the stairs it was so that he was borne by the soldiers on account of the violence of the crowd.

δὲ de “now”

But as he was about to be led into the fortress, Paul says to the chiliarch, Is it allowed me to say something to thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?

δὲ de “Then”

But Paul said, *I* am a Jew of Tarsus, citizen of no insignificant city of Cilicia, and I beseech of thee, allow me to speak to the people.

δὲ de “however”δέ de “however”

And when he had allowed him, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and a great silence having been made, he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “then”

And hearing that he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more quiet; and he says,

δὲ de “then”

*I* am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to [ergänzt: the] exactness of the law of [ergänzt: our] fathers, being zealous for God, as *ye* are all this day;

δὲ de “however”

And it came to pass, as I was journeying and drawing near to Damascus, that, about mid-day, there suddenly shone out of heaven a great light round about me.

δέ de “however”

And *I* answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, *I* am Jesus the Nazaraean, whom *thou* persecutest.

δὲ de “then”

But they that were with me beheld the light, [ergänzt: and were filled with fear], but heard not the voice of him that was speaking to me.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “however”

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rise up, and go to Damascus, and there it shall be told thee of all things which it is appointed thee to do.

δέ· de “then;”δὲ de “And”

And as I could not see, through the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came to Damascus.

δὲ de “now”

And a certain Ananias, a pious man according to the law, borne witness to by all the Jews who dwelt [ergänzt: there],

δέ de “then”

And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen thee beforehand to know his will, and to see the just one, and to hear a voice out of his mouth;

δὲ de “And”

And it came to pass when I had returned to Jerusalem, and as I was praying in the temple, that I became in ecstasy,

δέ de “then”

And they heard him until this word, and lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a one as that from the earth, for it was not fit he should live.

δὲ de “now”

But as they stretched him forward with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood [ergänzt: by], Is it lawful for you to scourge a man [ergänzt: who is] a Roman and uncondemned?

δὲ de “however”

And the centurion, having heard it, went and reported it to the chiliarch, saying, What art thou going to do? for this man is a Roman.

δὲ de “then”

And the chiliarch coming up said to him, Tell me, Art *thou* a Roman? And he said, Yes.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “And”

And the chiliarch answered, *I*, for a great sum, bought this citizenship. And Paul said, But *I* was also [ergänzt: free] born.

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

Immediately therefore those who were going to examine him left him, and the chiliarch also was afraid when he ascertained that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

δὲ de “also”

And on the morrow, desirous to know the certainty [ergänzt: of the matter] why he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and having brought Paul down set him before them.

δὲ de “now”

And Paul, fixing his eyes on the council, said, Brethren, I have walked in all good conscience with God unto this day.

δὲ de “then”

But the high priest Ananias ordered those standing by him to smite his mouth.
