Chapter 28
And
when
they
were
escaped,
then
they
knew
that
the
Iland
was
called
Melita.
2
And
the
barbarous
people
shewed
vs
no
little
kindnesse:
for
they
kindled
a
fire,
and
receiued
vs
euery
one
because
of
the
present
raine,
and
because
of
the
cold.
3
And
when
Paul
had
gathered
a
bundle
of
stickes,
and
layde
them
on
the
fire,
there
came
a
Uiper
out
of
the
heat,
and
fastened
on
his
hand.
4
And
when
the
Barbarians
saw
the
venomous
beast
hang
on
his
hand,
they
saide
among
themselues,
No
doubt
this
man
is
a
murtherer,
whom
though
hee
hath
escaped
the
Sea,
yet
Uengeance
suffereth
not
to
liue.
5
And
hee
shooke
off
the
beast
into
the
fire,
and
felt
no
harme.
6
Howbeit,
they
looked
when
hee
should
haue
swollen,
or
fallen
downe
dead
suddenly:
but
after
they
had
looked
a
great
while,
and
saw
no
harme
come
to
him,
they
changed
their
minds,
and
said
that
he
was
a
God.
7
In
the
same
quarters
were
possessions
of
the
chiefe
man
of
the
Iland,
whose
name
was
Publius,
who
receiued
vs,
and
lodged
vs
three
dayes
courteously.
8
And
it
came
to
passe
that
the
father
of
Publius
lay
sicke
of
a
feuer,
and
of
a
bloody-flixe,
to
whom
Paul
entred
in,
and
prayed,
and
layed
his
hands
on
him,
and
healed
him.
9
So
when
this
was
done,
others
also
which
had
diseases
in
the
Iland,
came,
and
were
healed:
10
Who
also
honoured
vs
with
many
honours,
and
when
wee
departed,
they
laded
vs
with
such
things
as
were
necessary.
11
And
after
three
moneths
wee
departed
in
a
ship
of
Alexandria,
which
had
wintered
in
the
Ile,
whose
signe
was
Castor
and
Pollux.
12
And
landing
at
Syracuse
wee
taried
there
three
dayes.
13
And
from
thence
wee
fet
a
compasse,
and
came
to
Rhegium,
and
after
one
day
the
South
winde
blew,
and
we
came
the
next
day
to
Puteoli:
14
Where
wee
found
brethren,
and
were
desired
to
tary
with
them
seuen
dayes:
and
so
we
went
toward
Rome.
15
And
from
thence,
when
the
brethren
heard
of
vs,
they
came
to
meet
vs
as
farre
as
Appii
forum,
and
the
three
Tauernes:
whom
when
Paul
saw,
he
thanked
God,
and
tooke
courage.
16
And
when
we
came
to
Rome,
the
Centurion
deliuered
the
prisoners
to
the
Captaine
of
the
guard:
but
Paul
was
suffered
to
dwell
by
himselfe,
with
a
souldier
that
kept
him.
17
And
it
came
to
passe,
that
after
three
dayes,
Paul
called
the
chiefe
of
the
Iewes
together.
And
when
they
were
come
together,
he
said
vnto
them,
Men
and
brethren,
though
I
haue
committed
nothing
against
the
people,
or
customes
of
our
fathers,
yet
was
I
deliuered
prisoner
from
Hierusalem
into
the
hands
of
the
Romanes.
18
Who
when
they
had
examined
me,
would
haue
let
me
goe,
because
there
was
no
cause
of
death
in
me.
19
But
when
the
Iewes
spake
against
it,
I
was
constrained
to
appeale
vnto
Cesar,
not
that
I
had
ought
to
accuse
my
nation
of.
20
For
this
cause
therefore
haue
I
called
for
you,
to
see
you,
and
to
speake
with
you:
because
that
for
the
hope
of
Israel
I
am
bound
with
this
chaine.
21
And
they
saide
vnto
him,
Wee
neither
receiued
letters
out
of
Iudea
concerning
thee,
neither
any
of
the
brethren
that
came,
shewed
or
spake
any
harme
of
thee.
22
But
we
desire
to
heare
of
thee
what
thou
thinkest:
for
as
concerning
this
sect,
we
know
that
euery
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
expounded
and
testified
the
kingdome
of
God,
perswading
them
concerning
Iesus,
both
out
of
the
law
of
Moses,
and
out
of
the
Prophets,
from
morning
till
euening.
24
And
some
beleeued
the
things
which
were
spoken,
and
some
beleeued
not.
25
And
when
they
agreed
not
among
themselues,
they
departed,
after
that
Paul
had
spoken
one
word,
Well
spake
the
holy
Ghost
by
Esaias
the
Prophet,
vnto
our
fathers,
26
Saying,
Goe
vnto
this
people,
and
say,
Hearing
ye
shall
heare,
and
shall
not
vnderstand,
and
seeing
ye
shall
see,
and
not
perceiue.
27
For
the
heart
of
this
people
is
waxed
grosse,
and
their
eares
are
dull
of
hearing,
and
their
eyes
haue
they
closed,
lest
they
should
see
with
their
eyes,
and
heare
with
their
eares,
and
vnderstand
with
their
heart,
and
should
bee
conuerted,
and
I
should
heale
them.
28
Be
it
knowen
therfore
vnto
you,
that
the
saluation
of
God
is
sent
vnto
the
Gentiles,
and
that
they
wil
heare
it.
29
And
when
hee
had
saide
these
words,
the
Iewes
departed,
and
had
great
reasoning
among
themselues.
30
And
Paul
dwelt
two
whole
yeeres
in
his
owne
hired
house,
and
receiued
all
that
came
in
vnto
him,
31
Preaching
the
kingdome
of
God,
and
teaching
those
things
which
concerne
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ,
with
all
confidence,
no
man
forbidding
him.
