Conjunction dioti (because) in the Gospels-Acts

(Translation from NRSV with a few modifications for a more literal meaning)


Luke

1: 13But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because (dioti) your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John.
2: 7And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because (dioti) there was no place for them in the inn.
21: 28Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because (dioti) your redemption is drawing near."

Acts

13: 35Because (dioti) he has also said in another psalm, 'You will not let your Holy One experience corruption.'
18: 10because (dioti) I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to harm you, because (dioti) there are many in this city who are my people."
20: 26Because (dioti) I declare to you this day that I am not responsible for the blood of any of you,
22: 18and saw Jesus saying to me, 'Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because (dioti) they will not accept your testimony about me.'
