  Hi, Ross.
  I can't read your Greek font for some reason. Others will send you more detailed information on the B-Greek "standards" and even a Web site to use. In addition to pasting in the Greek text, B-Greekers are asked to transliterate the Greek into all-capped "English" letters. See below.

  For example, John 1:1 looks like this:  EN ARCH HN hO LOGOS, KAI hO LOGOS HN PROS THN QEON KAI QEOS HN hO LOGOS.

  Below are the b-Greek letters I know (to indicate a rough breathing mark, place a lower-case "h" before the vowel):
   
  A = alpha
  B = beta
  G = gamma
  D = delta
   
  E = epsilon 
  Z = zeta
  H = eta (Notice that B-Greek transliterates eta as an English "H" only because it looks like an "H" in Greek)
  Q - theta (same reason)
   
  I = iota
  K = kappa
  L = lambda
  M - mu
   
  N = nu
   = xi (I can't remember this one, but it's pronounced "ksee" -- it's probably an English "X")
  O = omicron
  P = pi
   
  R = rho
  S = sigma (for both sigmas)
  T = tau
  U = upsilon
   
  F = phi
  C = chi
  Y = psi (because of the look of an English "Y," not its sound)
  W = omega (same reason)

    I have been reading through Acts as of late and came across vs. 17 which says,

    Act 26:17 ἐξαιρούμενός σε ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν, εἰς οὓς ἐγὼ σε ἀποστέλλω

    Does the plural  οὓς simply refer to the plural "Gentiles" or to both "peoples" and "Gentiles"?

    thank you,
