Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:1 - And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:2 - and the foreigners were shewing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:3 - but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid them upon the fire, a viper -- out of the heat having come -- did fasten on his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:4 - And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said unto one another, 'Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not suffer to live;'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:5 - he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:6 - and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead, and they, expecting it a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing their minds, said he was a god.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:7 - And in the neighbourhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, three days did courteously lodge us;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:8 - and it came to pass, the father of Publius with feverish heats and dysentery pressed, was laid, unto whom Paul having entered, and having prayed, having laid his hands on him, healed him;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:9 - this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:10 - who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail -- they were lading us with the things that were necessary.

Paul Arrives at Rome

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:11 - And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:12 - and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:13 - thence having gone round, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second day we came to Puteoli;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:14 - where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:15 - and thence, the brethren having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, unto Appii Forum, and Three Taverns -- whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:16 - And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:17 - And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said unto them: 'Men, brethren, I -- having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers -- a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the hands of the Romans;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:18 - who, having examined me, were wishing to release me, because of their being no cause of death in me,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:19 - and the Jews having spoken against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar -- not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:20 - for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with you, for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:21 - And they said unto him, 'We did neither receive letters concerning thee from Judea, nor did any one who came of the brethren declare or speak any evil concerning thee,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:22 - and we think it good from thee to hear what thou dost think, for, indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against;'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:23 - and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:24 - and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:25 - And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word -- 'Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:26 - saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:27 - for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:28 - 'Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:29 - and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:30 - and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired house, and was receiving all those coming in unto him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:31 - preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness -- unforbidden.
