28:1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the
island was called Melita.
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.
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.
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.
28:5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no
harm.
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.
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.
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.
28:9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases
in the island, came, and were healed:
28:10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we
departed, they laded [us] with such things as were necessary.
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.
28:12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days.
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:
28:14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with
them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
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.
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.
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.
28:18 Who, when they had examined me, would have let [me] go,
because there was no cause of death in me.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
28:24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and
some believed not.
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,
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:
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.
28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of
God is sent unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear it.
28:29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed,
and had great reasoning among themselves.
28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house,
and received all that came in unto him,
28:31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things
which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no
man forbidding him.
