* After and three months we sailed in a ship having been wintered in the island , Alexandrian , with an ensign Dioscuri . * And having been led own to Syracuse , we remained days three . * Whence having gone round we came to Rhegium ; and after one day having sprung up a South wind , second day we came to Puteoli ; * where having found brethren we were invited by them to remain days seven ; and thus towards the Rome we went . * And thence the brethren having heard the things concerning us , came out to a meeting with us as far as Appii forum , and Three taverns ; whom seeing the Paul , having given thanks to the God , he took courage . * When and we came to Rome the centurion delivered the prisoners to the perfect of the Pretorium camp ; the but Paul was permitted to abide by himself , with the watching him soldiers . * It happened and after days three to have called together to him those being of the Jews chiefs . Having come together and of them , he said to them : Men brethren , I nothing against having done to the people or to the customs those paternal , a prisoner from Jerusalem I was delivered into the hands of the Romans ; * who having examined me wished to release , because that no one cause of death to be in me . * Speaking against and the Jews , I was forced to call upon Caesar ; not as of the nation of me having anything to accuse . * Because of this therefore the cause I called you to see and to speak with ; on account for of the hope of the Israel the chain this I wear around . * They and to him said : We neither letters concerning thee received from the Judea , neither having come any one of the brethren related or spoken anything concerning thee evil . * we deem proper but from thee to hear , what thou thinkest ; concerning indeed for of the sect this known is to us , that everywhere it is spoken against . * Having appointed and to him a day , came to him to the lodging many ; to whom he set forth testifying earnestly the kingdom of the God , persuading and them the things concerning the Jesus , from both the law of Moses and of the prophets , from morning till evening . * And these indeed were persuaded by the words being spoken , those but believed not . * Not agreed and being with each other , they were dismissed , saying of the Paul word one : That well the spirit the holy spoke through Esaias the prophet to the fathers of us , * saying : Go thou to the people this , and say thou : With ears you will hear , and not not you may understand ; and seeing you will see , and not not you may perceive . * Unfeeling for the heart of the people this and with the ears heavily they hear , and the eyes of them they closed ; lest at any time they should see the eyes , and with the ears they should hear , and with the heart they should understand , and should return , and I should heal them . * Known therefore let it be to you , that to the Gentiles is sent the salvation of the God ; they and will hear . * And these things of him saying , went the Jews , much having among themselves discussion . * He abode and two years whole in the hired dwelling ; and received all those coming in to him , publishing the kingdom of the God , and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Anointed with all freedom of speech , unrestrained .
