And
when they were
escaped
,
then
they
knew
that
the
island
was
called
Melita
.
strkjv@Acts:28:2
@
And
the barbarous
people
shewed
us
no
little
kindness
:
for
they
kindled
a
fire
, and
received
us
every
one
,
because
of the
present
rain
,
and
because
of the
cold
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts:28:5
@
And
he shook
off
the
beast
into
the
fire
, and
felt
no
harm
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts:28:9
@
So
when
this
was
done

others
also
,
which
had
diseases
in
the
island
,
came
,
and
were
healed
:
strkjv@Acts:28:10
@
Who
also
honoured
us
with
many
honours
;
and
when we
departed
, they
laded
us with such things
as
were
necessary
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts:28:12
@
And
landing
at
Syracuse
, we
tarried
there
three
days

strkjv@Acts: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
:
strkjv@Acts:28:14
@
Where
we
found
brethren
, and were
desired
to
tarry
with
them
seven
days
:
and
so
we
went
toward
Rome
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts:28:18
@
Who
, when they had
examined
me
,
would
have let me
go
,
because
there
was
no
cause
of
death
in
me
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts:28:21
@
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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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

out of the
prophets

from
morning
till
evening

believed
the things which were
spoken

not

strkjv@Acts:28:25

And
when they agreed
not
among
themselves

departed

Paul
had
spoken
one
word

Well
spake
the

Ghost

Esaias
the

unto

closed
