these having taken, be purified with them, and be at expence with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning thee are nothing, but thou dost walk -- thyself also -- the law keeping.

εἰμι eimi “am”ἐστε este “are”

as also the chief priest doth testify to me, and all the eldership; from whom also having received letters unto the brethren, to Damascus, I was going on, to bring also those there bound to Jerusalem that they might be punished,

ὄντας ontas “being”

`And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? and he said unto me, I am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou dost persecute --

εἶ ei “are You”εἰμι eimi “am”

and they who are with me the light did see, and became afraid, and the voice they heard not of him who is speaking to me --

ὄντες ontes “being”

because thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard;

ἔσῃ esē “you will be”

and I said, Lord, they -- they know that I was imprisoning and was scourging in every synagogue those believing on thee;

εἶ; ei “are?”

ἐστιν estin “he is”ἦν ēn “he had”

ἐστὶν estin “he is”

and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, `Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee -- son of a Pharisee -- concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.'

and they were more than forty who made this conspiracy by oath,

ἦσαν ēsan “There were”

now, therefore, ye, signify ye to the chief captain, with the sanhedrim, that to-morrow he may bring him down unto you, as being about to know more exactly the things concerning him; and we, before his coming nigh, are ready to put him to death.'

ἐσμεν esmen “we are”

And the chief captain having taken him by the hand, and having withdrawn by themselves, inquired, `What is that which thou hast to tell me?'

ἐστιν estin “is it”

thou, therefore, mayest thou not yield to them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who did anathematize themselves -- not to eat nor to drink till they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from thee.'

εἰσιν eisin “they are”

This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them -- having come with the soldiery, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman;

ἐστιν· estin “he is;”

and a plot having been intimated to me against this man -- about to be of the Jews -- at once I sent unto thee, having given command also to the accusers to say the things against him before thee; be strong.'
