Acts 28
And
when
they
were
escaped,
then
they
knew
that
the
island
was
called
Melita.
2 And
the
a
barbarous
people
shewed
us
no
little
b
kindness:
for
they
kindled
a
fire,
and
received
us
every
one,
because
of
the
present
rain,
and
because
of
the
cold.
3 And
when
Paul
had
gathered
a
bundle
of
sticks,
and
laid
them
on
the
fire,
there
came
a
a
viper
out
of
the
heat,
and
fastened
on
his
hand.
4 And
when
the
barbarians
saw
the
venomous
beast
hang
on
his
hand,
they
said
among
themselves,
No
doubt
this
man
is
a
murderer,
whom,
though
he
hath
escaped
the
sea,
yet
vengeance
suffereth
not
to
live.
5 And
he
shook
off
the
beast
into
the
fire,
and
felt
no
a
harm.
6 Howbeit
they
looked
when
he
should
have
swollen,
or
fallen
down
dead
suddenly:
but
after
they
had
looked
a
great
while,
and
saw
no
harm
come
to
him,
they
changed
their
minds,
and
said
that
he
was
a
a
god.
7 In
the
same
quarters
were
possessions
of
the
chief
man
of
the
island,
whose
name
was
Publius;
who
received
us,
and
lodged
us
three
days
a
courteously.
8 And
it
came
to
pass,
that
the
father
of
Publius
lay
a
sick
of
a
fever
and
of
a
b
bloody
flux:
to
whom
Paul
entered
in,
and
prayed,
and
laid
his
c
hands
on
him,
and
healed
him.
9 So
when
this
was
done,
others
also,
which
had
diseases
in
the
island,
came,
and
were
healed:
10 Who
also
honoured
us
with
many
honours;
and
when
we
departed,
they
laded
us
with
such
things
as
were
necessary.
11 And
after
three
months
we
departed
in
a
ship
of
Alexandria,
which
had
wintered
in
the
isle,
whose
sign
was
Castor
and
Pollux.
12 And
landing
at
Syracuse,
we
tarried
there
three
days.
13 And
from
thence
we
a
fetched
a
compass,
and
came
to
Rhegium:
and
after
one
day
the
south
wind
blew,
and
we
came
the
next
day
to
Puteoli:
14 Where
we
found
brethren,
and
were
desired
to
tarry
with
them
seven
days:
and
so
we
went
toward
Rome.
15 And
from
thence,
when
the
brethren
heard
of
us,
they
came
to
meet
us
as
far
as
Appii
forum,
and
The
three
taverns:
whom
when
Paul
saw,
he
a
thanked
God,
and
took
b
courage.
16 And
when
we
came
to
Rome,
the
centurion
delivered
the
prisoners
to
the
captain
of
the
guard:
but
Paul
was
suffered
to
dwell
by
himself
with
a
soldier
that
kept
him.
17 And
it
came
to
pass,
that
after
three
days
Paul
called
the
chief
of
the
Jews
together:
and
when
they
were
come
together,
he
said
unto
them,
Men
and
brethren,
though
I
have
committed
nothing
against
the
people,
or
customs
of
our
fathers,
yet
was
I
delivered
prisoner
from
Jerusalem
into
the
hands
of
the
Romans.
18 Who,
when
they
had
examined
me,
would
have
let
me
go,
because
there
was
no
cause
of
death
in
me.
19 But
when
the
Jews
spake
against
it,
I
was
constrained
to
appeal
unto
Caesar;
not
that
I
had
ought
to
accuse
my
nation
of.
20 For
this
cause
therefore
have
I
called
for
you,
to
see
you,
and
to
speak
with
you:
because
that
for
the
a
hope
of
Israel
I
am
bound
with
this
chain.
21 And
they
said
unto
him,
We
neither
received
letters
out
of
Judaea
concerning
thee,
neither
any
of
the
brethren
that
came
shewed
or
spake
any
harm
of
thee.
22 But
we
desire
to
hear
of
thee
what
thou
thinkest:
for
as
concerning
this
sect,
we
know
that
every
where
it
is
spoken
against.
23 And
when
they
had
appointed
him
a
day,
there
came
many
to
him
into
his
lodging;
to
whom
he
a
expounded
and
testified
the
kingdom
of
God,
persuading
them
concerning
Jesus,
both
out
of
the
law
of
Moses,
and
out
of
the
b
prophets,
from
morning
till
evening.
24 And
some
believed
the
things
which
were
spoken,
and
some
a
believed
not.
25 And
when
they
agreed
not
among
themselves,
they
departed,
after
that
Paul
had
spoken
one
word,
Well
a
spake
the
Holy
Ghost
by
Esaias
the
prophet
unto
our
fathers,
26 Saying,
Go
unto
this
people,
and
say,
Hearing
ye
shall
hear,
and
shall
not
understand;
and
seeing
ye
shall
see,
and
not
a
perceive:
27 For
the
a
heart
of
this
people
is
waxed
gross,
and
their
ears
are
dull
of
hearing,
and
their
b
eyes
have
they
closed;
lest
they
should
see
with
their
eyes,
and
hear
with
their
ears,
and
understand
with
their
heart,
and
should
be
converted,
and
I
should
heal
them.
28 Be
it
known
therefore
unto
you,
that
the
salvation
of
God
is
sent
unto
the
a
Gentiles,
and
that
they
will
hear
it.
29 And
when
he
had
said
these
words,
the
Jews
departed,
and
had
great
reasoning
among
themselves.
30 And
Paul
dwelt
two
whole
years
in
his
own
hired
house,
and
received
all
that
came
in
unto
him,
31 Preaching
the
kingdom
of
God,
and
teaching
those
things
which
concern
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
with
all
confidence,
no
man
forbidding
him.
