G1161–δέ–de

Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

δὲ de “And”

And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried 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 people.

δὲ de “now”

And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

δὲ de “Then”

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

δὲ de “however”δέ de “however”

And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “then”

(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

δὲ de “then”

I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

δὲ de “however”

And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come 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 saw indeed the light, and were afraid; 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, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,

δέ de “then”

And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.

δὲ de “And”

And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;

δέ de “then”

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

δὲ de “now”

And as they bound him with 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”

When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.

δὲ de “then”

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

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “And”

And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.

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

Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

δὲ de “also”

On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.

δὲ de “now”

And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.

δὲ de “then”

And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.

δὲ de “Then”
