21 E quell’uomo stupiva di lei, stando tacito a considerare se il Signore avea fatto prosperare il suo viaggio, o no.


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

3093. 'And she finished giving him the drink' means the subsequent stage, that is to say, in the process of introduction. This is clear from the consideration that 'she finished' or finishing implies the end of the activity which takes place prior to this and the beginning of that which follows, thus the subsequent stage, and from the meaning of 'giving a drink to' as introducing to, dealt with just above in 3092.
