ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

But I rose up, intending to depart; he, however, took hold of my cloak and declared he would not let me go until I had fulfilled what I had promised. "Then," I said, "let your companions not make an uproar nor behave so unbecomingly; rather, if they are willing, let them listen in quietness; but if some more urgent business stands in their way, let them go off. As for us, let us withdraw somewhere, take our rest, and bring the discussion to its conclusion."
Trypho too thought it good for us to do so; and so, turning aside, we made our way to the middle court of the colonnade. But two of those with him, jeering and mocking our earnestness, went away. When we came to that place where on either side there are stone seats, those with Trypho sat down on one of them; and one of them, throwing in a remark about the war that had taken place in Judaea, began to talk it over.
