AC-28:1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the

island

was called Melita.

AC-28:2 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness:
for

they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the

present rain, and because of the cold.

AC-28:3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid

[them] on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and
fastened

on his hand.

AC-28:4 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.

AC-28:5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no
harm.

AC-28:6 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 god.

AC-28:7 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 courteously.

AC-28:8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay
sick of

a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and
prayed,

and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

AC-28:9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases
in

the island, came, and were healed:

AC-28:10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we

departed, they laded [us] with such things as were necessary.

AC-28:11 And after three months we departed in a ship of

Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor

and Pollux.

AC-28:12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days.

AC-28:13 And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to
Rhegium:

and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day
to

Puteoli:

AC-28:14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with

them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

AC-28:15 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 thanked God, and took courage.

AC-28:16 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.

AC-28:17 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.

AC-28:18 Who, when they had examined me, would have let [me] go,

because there was no cause of death in me.

AC-28:19 But when the Jews spake against [it], I was
constrained to

appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

AC-28:20 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see

[you], and to speak with [you]: because that for the hope of
Israel

I am bound with this chain.

AC-28:21 And they said unto him, We neither received letters
out of

Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came
showed

or spake any harm of thee.

AC-28:22 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for
as

concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken
against.

AC-28:23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many
to

him into [his] lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the

kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the

law of Moses, and [out of] the prophets, from morning till
evening.

AC-28:24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and
some

believed not.

AC-28:25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they
departed,

after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by

Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

AC-28:26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall

hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not

perceive:

AC-28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their

ears are dull of hearing, and their 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.

AC-28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of
God

is sent unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear it.

AC-28:29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed,
and

had great reasoning among themselves.

AC-28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house,
and

received all that came in unto him,

AC-28:31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things

which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man

forbidding him.
