Acts 28 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Now ^G1161 in the neighboring ^G4012 parts ^G4012 of that place ^G5117 were lands ^G5564 belonging to the [fn]leading ^G4413 man ^G4413 of the island ^G3520, named ^G3686 Publius ^G4196, who ^G3739 welcomed ^G324 us and entertained ^G3579 us warmly ^G5390 for three ^G5140 days ^G2250.

After ^G3326 three ^G5140 months ^G3376 we set ^G321 sail ^G321 on an Alexandrian ^G222 ship ^G4143 which had wintered ^G3914 at the island ^G3520, and which had ^G3902 [fn]the Twin ^G1359 Brothers ^G1359 for ^G3902 its ^G3902 figurehead ^G3902.

When ^G3753 we entered ^G1525 Rome ^G4516, Paul ^G3972 was allowed ^G2010 to stay ^G3306 by himself ^G1438, with the soldier ^G4757 who was guarding ^G5442 him.

After ^G3326 three ^G5140 days ^G2250 [fn]Paul called ^G4779 together ^G4779 those ^G3588 who were the leading ^G4413 men ^G4413 of the Jews ^G2453, and when they came ^G4905 together ^G4905, he began saying ^G3004 to them, “Brothers ^G435 G80, though I had done ^G4160 nothing ^G3762 against ^G1727 our people ^G2992 or ^G2228 the customs ^G1485 of our [fn]fathers ^G3971, yet I was handed ^G3860 G5495 over ^G3860 to the Romans ^G4514 as a prisoner ^G1198 from Jerusalem ^G2414.

When they had set ^G5021 a day ^G2250 for [fn]Paul, people came ^G2064 to him at his lodging ^G3578 in large ^G4183 numbers ^G4183; and he was explaining ^G1620 to them by solemnly ^G1263 testifying ^G1263 about the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316 and trying to persuade ^G3982 them concerning ^G4012 Jesus ^G2424, from both ^G5037 the Law ^G3551 of Moses ^G3475 and from the Prophets ^G4396, from morning ^G4404 until ^G2193 evening ^G2073.

‘GO ^G4198 TO THIS ^G3778 PEOPLE ^G2992 AND SAY ^G3004,

“[fn]YOU WILL KEEP ^G189 ON HEARING ^G191, AND WILL NOT UNDERSTAND ^G4920;

AND [fn]YOU WILL KEEP ^G991 ON SEEING ^G991, AND WILL NOT PERCEIVE ^G3708;

FOR THE HEARTS ^G2588 OF THIS ^G3778 PEOPLE ^G2992 HAVE BECOME ^G3975 [fn]INSENSITIVE ^G3975,

AND WITH THEIR EARS ^G3775 THEY [fn]HARDLY ^G917 HEAR ^G191,

AND THEY HAVE CLOSED ^G2576 THEIR EYES ^G3788;

OTHERWISE ^G3379 THEY MIGHT SEE ^G3708 WITH THEIR EYES ^G3788,

AND HEAR ^G191 WITH THEIR EARS ^G3775,

AND UNDERSTAND ^G4920 WITH THEIR HEART ^G2588 AND RETURN ^G1994,

AND I WOULD HEAL ^G2390 THEM.”’

“Therefore ^G3767, let it be known ^G1110 to you that this ^G3778 salvation ^G4992 of God ^G2316 has been sent ^G649 to the Gentiles ^G1484; they will also ^G2532 listen ^G191.”

Now ^G1161 Paul stayed ^G1696 two ^G1333 full ^G3650 years ^G1333 [fn]in his own ^G2398 rented ^G3410 lodging ^G3410 and welcomed ^G588 all ^G3956 who came ^G1531 to him,
