*
And when they were escaped (
5685 ),
then they knew (
5627 )
that the island was called (
5743 )
Melita .
*
And the barbarous people shewed (
5707 )
us no little (
5631 )
kindness :
for they kindled (
5660 )
a fire ,
and received (
5639 )
us every one ,
because of the present (
5761 )
rain ,
and because of the cold .
*
And when Paul had gathered (
5660 )
a bundle of sticks ,
and laid (
5631 )
them on the fire ,
there came (
5631 )
a viper out of the heat ,
and fastened on (
5656 )
his hand .
*
And when the barbarians saw (
5627 )
the venomous beast hang (
5734 )
on his hand ,
they said (
5707 )
among themselves ,
No doubt this man is (
5748 )
a murderer ,
whom ,
though he hath escaped (
5685 )
the sea ,
yet vengeance suffereth (
5656 )
not to live (
5721 ).
*
And he shook off (
5660 )
the beast into the fire ,
and felt (
5627 )
no harm .
*
Howbeit they looked (
5707 )
when he should (
5721 )
have swollen (
5745 ),
or fallen down (
5721 )
dead suddenly :
but after they had looked (
5723 )
a great while ,
and saw (
5723 )
no harm come (
5740 )
to him ,
they changed their minds (
5734 ),
and said (
5707 )
that he was (
5750 )
a god .
*
In the same quarters were (
5707 )
possessions of the chief man of the island ,
whose name was Publius ;
who received (
5666 )
us ,
and lodged us (
5656 )
three days courteously .
*
And it came to pass (
5633 ),
that the father of Publius lay (
5738 )
sick of (
5746 )
a fever and of a bloody flux :
to whom Paul entered in (
5631 ),
and prayed (
5666 ),
and laid his hands on (
5631 )
him ,
and healed (
5662 )
him .
*
So when this was done (
5637 ),
others also ,
which had (
5723 )
diseases in the island ,
came (
5711 ),
and were healed (
5712 ):
*
Who also honoured us with many honours (
5656 );
and when we departed (
5746 ),
they laded (
5639 )
us with such things as were necessary .
*
And after three months we departed (
5681 )
in a ship of Alexandria ,
which had wintered (
5761 )
in the isle ,
whose sign was Castor and Pollux .
*
And landing (
5685 )
at Syracuse ,
we tarried (
5656 )
there three days .
*
And from thence we fetched a compass (
5631 ),
and came (
5656 )
to Rhegium :
and after one day the south wind blew (
5637 ),
and we came (
5627 )
the next day to Puteoli :
*
Where we found (
5631 )
brethren ,
and were desired (
5681 )
to tarry (
5658 )
with them seven days :
and so we went (
5627 )
toward Rome .
*
And from thence ,
when the brethren heard (
5660 )
of us ,
they came (
5627 )
to meet us as far as Appii forum ,
and The three taverns :
whom when Paul saw (
5631 ),
he thanked (
5660 )
God ,
and took (
5627 )
courage .
*
And when we came (
5627 )
to Rome ,
the centurion delivered (
5656 )
the prisoners to the captain of the guard :
but Paul was suffered (
5681 )
to dwell (
5721 )
by himself with a soldier that kept (
5723 )
him .
*
And it came to pass (
5633 ),
that after three days Paul called the chief (
5752 )
of the Jews together (
5670 ):
and when they were come together (
5631 ),
he said (
5707 )
unto them ,
Men and brethren ,
though I have committed (
5660 )
nothing against the people ,
or customs of our fathers ,
yet was I delivered (
5681 )
prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans .
*
Who ,
when they had examined (
5660 )
me ,
would (
5711 )
have let me go (
5658 ),
because there was (
5721 )
no cause of death in me .
*
But when the Jews spake against (
5723 )
it ,
I was constrained (
5681 )
to appeal (
5670 )
unto Caesar ;
not that I had (
5723 )
ought to accuse my nation of (
5658 ).
*
For this cause therefore have I called (
5656 )
for you ,
to see (
5629 )
you ,
and to speak with (
5658 )
you :
because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with (
5736 )
this chain .
*
And they said (
5627 )
unto him ,
We neither received (
5662 )
letters out of Judaea concerning thee ,
neither any of the brethren that came (
5637 )
shewed (
5656 )
or spake (
5656 )
any harm of thee .
*
But we desire (
5719 )
to hear (
5658 )
of thee what thou thinkest (
5719 ):
for as concerning this sect ,
we know (
5748 )
that every where it is spoken against (
5743 ).
*
And when they had appointed (
5671 )
him a day ,
there came (
5707 )
many to him into his lodging ;
to whom he expounded (
5710 )
and testified (
5740 )
the kingdom of God ,
persuading (
5723 )
them concerning Jesus ,
both out of the law of Moses ,
and out of the prophets ,
from morning till evening .
*
And some believed (
5712 )
the things which were spoken (
5746 ),
and some believed not (
5707 ).
*
And when they agreed not (
5752 )
among themselves ,
they departed (
5710 ),
after that Paul had spoken (
5631 )
one word ,
Well spake (
5656 )
the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers ,
*
Saying (
5723 ),
Go (
5676 )
unto this people ,
and say (
5628 ),
Hearing ye shall hear (
5692 ),
and shall not understand (
5655 );
and seeing (
5723 )
ye shall see (
5692 ),
and not perceive (
5632 ):
*
For the heart of this people is waxed gross (
5681 ),
and their ears are dull of hearing (
5656 ),
and their eyes have they closed (
5656 );
lest they should see (
5632 )
with their eyes ,
and hear (
5661 )
with their ears ,
and understand (
5632 )
with their heart ,
and should be converted (
5661 ),
and I should heal (
5667 )
them .
*
Be it (
5749 )
known therefore unto you ,
that the salvation of God is sent (
5648 )
unto the Gentiles ,
and that they will hear (
5695 )
it .
*
And when he had said (
5631 )
these words ,
the Jews departed (
5627 ),
and had (
5723 )
great reasoning among themselves .
*
And Paul dwelt (
5656 )
two whole years in his own hired house ,
and received (
5711 )
all that came in (
5740 )
unto him ,
*
Preaching (
5723 )
the kingdom of God ,
and teaching (
5723 )
those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ ,
with all confidence ,
no man forbidding him .
