G1161–δέ–de

Whereupon they found me purified in the temple, with neither crowd nor tumult. But it was certain Jews from Asia,

And Felix, knowing accurately the things concerning the way, adjourned them, saying, When Lysias the chiliarch is come down I will determine your affair;

δὲ de “then”

And after certain days, Felix having arrived with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

δὲ de “then”

And as he reasoned concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment about to come, Felix, being filled with fear, answered, Go for the present, and when I get an opportunity I will send for thee;

hoping at the same time that money would be given him by Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener and communed with him.

δὲ de “now”

But when two years were completed, Felix was relieved by Porcius Festus as his successor; and Felix, desirous to oblige the Jews, to acquire their favour, left Paul bound.

δὲ de “however”

Festus therefore answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to set out shortly.

δὲ de “however”

And having remained among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the next day, having sat down on the judgment-seat, commanded Paul to be brought.

δὲ de “then”

And when he was come, the Jews who were come down from Jerusalem stood round, bringing many and grievous charges which they were not able to prove:

δὲ de “then”

But Festus, desirous of obliging the Jews, to acquire their favour, answering Paul, said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, there to be judged before me concerning these things?

δὲ de “however”

But Paul said, I am standing before the judgment-seat of Caesar, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews have I done no wrong, as *thou* also very well knowest.

δὲ de “then”

If then I have done any wrong and committed anything worthy of death, I do not deprecate dying; but if there is nothing of those things of which they accuse me, no man can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.

δὲ de “however”

And when certain days had elapsed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to salute Festus.

δὲ de “now”

And when they had spent many days there, Festus laid before the king the matters relating to Paul, saying, There is a certain man left prisoner by Felix,

δὲ de “now”

but had against him certain questions of their own system of worship, and concerning a certain Jesus who is dead, whom Paul affirmed to be living.

δέ de “however”

And as I myself was at a loss as to an inquiry into these things, I said, Was he willing to go to Jerusalem and there to be judged concerning these things?

δὲ de “now”

But Paul having appealed to be kept for the cognisance of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I shall send him to Caesar.

δὲ de “But”

And Agrippa [ergänzt: said] to Festus, I myself also would desire to hear the man. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

δὲ de “then”δέ de “now”

But I, having found that he had done nothing worthy of death, and this [ergänzt: man] himself having appealed to Augustus, I have decided to send him;

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “and”

And Agrippa said to Paul, It is permitted thee to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching out his hand answered in his defence:

δὲ de “then”

And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, *I* am Jesus whom *thou* persecutest:

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “And”

And as he answered for his defence with these things, Festus says with a loud voice, Thou art mad, Paul; much learning turns thee to madness.

δὲ de “now”

But Paul said, I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but utter words of truth and soberness;

δὲ de “But”

And Agrippa [ergänzt: said] to Paul, In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.

δὲ de “Then”

And Paul [ergänzt: said], I would to God, both in little and in much, that not only thou, but all who have heard me this day, should become such as *I* also am, except these bonds.
