Exegesis
The sentence begins with the adversative conjunction alla {ἀλλὰ | allà} ‘but’, which contrasts Paul’s actual ministry with the accusations just mentioned in the broader context.
In context — Acts 26:20
But to those in Damascus first, and also in Jerusalem and all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles , I was declaring that they should repent and turn to God , doing works worthy of repentance.
