G1161–δέ–de

in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,

δὲ de “however [are]”

And having heard these things, Felix delayed them -- having known more exactly of the things concerning the way -- saying, `When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will know fully the things concerning you;'

δὲ de “then”

And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward Christ,

δὲ de “then”

and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, `For the present be going, and having got time, I will call for thee;'

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “then”

and at the same time also hoping that money shall be given to him by Paul, that he may release him, therefore, also sending for him the oftener, he was conversing with him;

δὲ de “now”

and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favour on the Jews, left Paul bound.

δὲ de “however”

Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and himself is about speedily to go on thither,

δὲ de “however”

and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought;

δὲ de “then”

and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem -- many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove,

δὲ de “then”

And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, `Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?'

δὲ de “however”

and Paul said, `At the tribunal of Caesar I am standing, where it behoveth me to be judged; to Jews I did no unrighteousness, as thou dost also very well know;

δὲ de “then”

for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!'

δὲ de “however”

And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea saluting Festus,

δὲ de “now”

and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, `There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner,

δὲ de “now”

but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;

δέ de “however”

and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things --

δὲ de “now”

but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him unto Caesar.'

δὲ de “But”

And Agrippa said unto Festus, `I was wishing also myself to hear the man;' and he said, `To-morrow thou shalt hear him;'

δὲ de “then”δέ de “now”

and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I decided to send him,

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “and”

And Agrippa said unto Paul, `It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself;' then Paul having stretched forth the hand, was making a defence:

δὲ de “then”

`And I said, Who art thou, Lord? and he said, I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute;

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “And”

And, he thus making a defence, Festus with a loud voice said, `Thou art mad, Paul; much learning doth turn thee mad;'

δὲ de “now”

and he saith, `I am not mad, most noble Festus, but of truth and soberness the sayings I speak forth;

δὲ de “But”

And Agrippa said unto Paul, `In a little thou dost persuade me to become a Christian!'

δὲ de “Then”

and Paul said, `I would have wished to God, both in a little, and in much, not only thee, but also all those hearing me to-day, to become such as I also am -- except these bonds.'
