but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;

Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

ηκουον δε μονον οτι ο ποτε διωκων ημας, τωρα κηρυττει την πιστιν, την οποιαν ποτε κατεπολεμει,

But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
