Greek text · Dindorf 4:23

καθʼ ὃν ἐναργῶς τῆς τοῦ Χριστοῦ παρουσίας ἐνστάσης καὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν ἡ προσδοκωμένη σωτηρία τε καὶ κλῆσις ἀκολούθως τῇ προφητείᾳ παρηκολούθησεν· ἔξ οὗ δὴ χρόνου τῶν ἐξ Ἰούδα ἀρχόντων τε καὶ ἡγουμένων, λέγω δὲ τῶν ἐκ τοῦ Ἰουδαίων ἔθνους διαλελοιπότων, εἰκότως αὐτοῖς καὶ τὰ τῆς ἐκ προγόνων εὐσταθῶς ἐπὶ τοὺς ἔγγιστα διαδόχους κατὰ γενεὰν προιούσης ἀρχιερωσύνης παραχρῆμα συγχεῖται

English · Claude translation

In his time the presence of Christ plainly came, and the expected salvation and calling of the nations followed, in accordance with the prophecy. From that time, when the rulers and leaders from Judah, I mean from the Jewish nation, had ceased, naturally their high priesthood too, which had passed steadily by ancestral succession from generation to generation to the nearest heirs, was immediately thrown into confusion.
