{But before all these things} (pro de tout(936e) pant(936e)). In
 Mr 13:8  Mt 24:8  these things are termed "the beginning of
travail." That may be the idea here. Plummer insists that
priority of time is the point, not magnitude. {Bringing you}
(apagomenous). Present passive participle from apag(935c), an old
verb to lead off or away. But here the participle is in the
accusative plural, not the nominative like paradidontes
(present active participle, delivering you up), agreeing with
humas not expressed the object of paradidontes, "you being
brought before or led off." "A technical term in Athenian legal
language" (Bruce).
