G1161–δέ–de

Upon which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.

δὲ de “however [are]”

And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.

δὲ de “then”

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

δὲ de “then”

And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, depart for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “then”

He hoped also that money would have been given him by Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.

δὲ de “now”

But after two years Porcius Festus came as successor to Felix: and Felix willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

δὲ de “however”

But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.

δὲ de “however”

And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down to Cesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment-seat, commanded Paul to be brought.

δὲ de “then”

And when he had come, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood around, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove;

δὲ de “then”

But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these things before me?

δὲ de “however”

Then said Paul, I stand at Cesar's tribunal, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.

δὲ de “then”

For if I am an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there is none of these things of which these accuse me, no man may deliver me to them. I appeal to Cesar.

δὲ de “however”

And after certain days, king Agrippa and Bernice came to Cesarea, to salute Festus.

δὲ de “now”

And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause to the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

δὲ de “now”

But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

δέ de “however”

And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these matters.

δὲ de “now”

But when Paul had appealed to be reserved to the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Cesar.

δὲ de “But”

Then Agrippa said to Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

δὲ de “then”δέ de “now”

But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “and”

Then Agrippa said to Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:

δὲ de “then”

And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “And”

And as he was thus speaking for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee insane.

δὲ de “now”

But he said, I am not insane, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

δὲ de “But”

Then Agrippa said to Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

δὲ de “Then”

And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

δὲ de “And”
