Exegesis
The repeated τῇ δὲ + participle pattern, with the postpositive de {δὲ | de}, creates a rhythmic chain of temporal clauses that emphasize orderly progression. In translation, this temporal chaining is represented by “the next day … the following day … the day after that,” preserving the sequential feel while avoiding wooden repetition and keeping the narrative flow clear for modern readers.

In context — Acts 20:15
