28:1 And 2532 when they were escaped 1295 5685, then 5119 they knew 1921 5627 that 3754 the island 3520 was called 2564 5743 Melita 3194.

28:2 And 1161 the barbarous people 915 shewed 3930 5707 us 2254 no 3756 little 5177 5631 kindness 5363: for 1063 they kindled 381 5660 a fire 4443, and received 4355 5639 us 2248 every one 3956, because 1223 of the present 2186 5761 rain 5205, and 2532 because 1223 of the cold 5592.

28:3 And 1161 when Paul 3972 had gathered 4962 5660 a bundle 4128 of sticks 5434, and 2532 laid 2007 5631 [them] on 1909 the fire 4443, there came 1831 5631 a viper 2191 out of 1537 the heat 2329, and fastened on 2510 5656 his 846 hand 5495.

28:4 And 1161 when 5613 the barbarians 915 saw 1492 5627 the [venomous] beast 2342 hang 2910 5734 on 1537 his 846 hand 5495, they said 3004 5707 among 4314 themselves 240, No doubt 3843 this 3778 man 444 is 2076 5748 a murderer 5406, whom 3739, though he hath escaped 1295 5685 1537 the sea 2281, yet vengeance 1349 suffereth 1439 5656 not 3756 to live 2198 5721.

28:5 And 3303 3767 he shook off 660 5660 the beast 2342 into 1519 the fire 4442, and felt 3958 5627 no 3762 harm 2556.

28:6 Howbeit 1161 they looked 4328 5707 when he 846 should 3195 5721 have swollen 4092 5745, or 2228 fallen down 2667 5721 dead 3498 suddenly 869: but 1161 after they 846 had looked 4328 5723 a great while 1909 4183, and 2532 saw 2334 5723 no 3367 harm 824 come 1096 5740 to 1519 him 846, they changed their minds 3328 5734, and said 3004 5707 that he 846 was 1511 5750 a god 2316.

28:7 1161 In 1722 4012 the same 1565 quarters 5117 were 5225 5707 possessions 5564 of the chief man 4413 of the island 3520, whose name was 3686 Publius 4196; who 3739 received 324 5666 us 2248, and lodged us 3579 5656 three 5140 days 2250 courteously 5390.

28:8 And 1161 it came to pass 1096 5633, that the father 3962 of Publius 4196 lay 2621 5738 sick of 4912 5746 a fever 4446 and 2532 of a bloody flux 1420: to 4314 whom 3739 Paul 3972 entered in 1525 5631, and 2532 prayed 4336 5666, and laid 2007 0 his hands 5495 on 2007 5631 him 846, and healed 2390 5662 him 846.

28:9 So 3767 when 1096 0 this 5127 was done 1096 5637, others 3062 also 2532, which 3588 had 2192 5723 diseases 769 in 1722 the island 3520, came 4334 5711, and 2532 were healed 2323 5712:

28:10 Who 3739 also 2532 honoured 5092 us 2248 with many 4183 honours 5091 5656; and 2532 when we departed 321 5746, they laded 2007 5639 [us] with such things as 4314 were necessary 5532.

28:11 And 1161 after 3326 three 5140 months 3376 we departed 321 5681 in 1722 a ship 4143 of Alexandria 222, which had wintered 3914 5761 in 1722 the isle 3520, whose sign 3902 was Castor and Pollux 1359.

28:12 And 2532 landing 2609 5685 at 1519 Syracuse 4946, we tarried 1961 5656 [there] three 5140 days 2250.

28:13 And from thence 3606 we fetched a compass 4022 5631, and came 2658 5656 to 1519 Rhegium 4484: and 2532 after 3326 one 3391 day 2250 the south wind 3558 blew 1920 5637, and we came 2064 5627 the next day 1206 to 1519 Puteoli 4223:

28:14 Where 3757 we found 2147 5631 brethren 80, and were desired 3870 5681 to tarry 1961 5658 with 1909 them 846 seven 2033 days 2250: and 2532 so 3779 we went 2064 5627 toward 1519 Rome 4516.

28:15 And from thence 2547, when the brethren 80 heard 191 5660 of 4012 us 2257, they came 1831 5627 to meet 529 1519 us 2254 as far as 891 Appii 675 forum 5410, and 2532 The three 5140 taverns 4999: whom 3739 when Paul 3972 saw 1492 5631, he thanked 2168 5660 God 2316, and took 2983 5627 courage 2294.

28:16 And 1161 when 3753 we came 2064 5627 to 1519 Rome 4516, the centurion 1543 delivered 3860 5656 the prisoners 1198 to the captain of the guard 4759: but 1161 Paul 3972 was suffered 2010 5681 to dwell 3306 5721 by 2596 himself 1438 with 4862 a soldier 4757 that kept 5442 5723 him 846.

28:17 And 1161 it came to pass 1096 5633, that after 3326 three 5140 days 2250 Paul 3972 called 4779 0 the chief 4413 5607 5752 of the Jews 2453 together 4779 5670: and 1161 when they 846 were come together 4905 5631, he said 3004 5707 unto 4314 them 846, Men 435 [and] brethren 80, though I 1473 have committed 4160 5660 nothing 3762 against 1727 the people 2992, or 2228 customs 1485 of our fathers 3971, yet was I delivered 3860 5681 prisoner 1198 from 1537 Jerusalem 2414 into 1519 the hands 5495 of the Romans 4514.

28:18 Who 3748, when they had examined 350 5660 me 3165, would 1014 5711 have let [me] go 630 5658, because 1223 there was 5225 5721 no 3367 cause 156 of death 2288 in 1722 me 1698.

28:19 But 1161 when the Jews 2453 spake against 483 5723 [it], I was constrained 315 5681 to appeal 1941 5670 unto Caesar 2541; not 3756 that 5613 I had 2192 5723 ought 5100 to accuse 2723 0 my 3450 nation 1484 of 2723 5658.

28:20 For 1223 this 5026 cause 156 therefore 3767 have I called 3870 5656 for you 5209, to see 1492 5629 [you], and 2532 to speak with 4354 5658 [you]: because that 1752 for 1063 the hope 1680 of Israel 2474 I am bound with 4029 5736 this 5026 chain 254.

28:21 And 1161 they said 2036 5627 unto 4314 him 846, We 2249 neither 3777 received 1209 5662 letters 1121 out of 575 Judaea 2449 concerning 4012 thee 4675, neither 3777 any 5100 of the brethren 80 that came 3854 5637 shewed 518 5656 or 2228 spake 2980 5656 any 5100 harm 4190 of 4012 thee 4675.

28:22 But 1161 we desire 515 5719 to hear 191 5658 of 3844 thee 4675 what 3739 thou thinkest 5426 5719: for 1063 as concerning 4012 3303 this 5026 sect 139, we 2254 know 2076 5748 1110 that 3754 every where 3837 it is spoken against 483 5743.

28:23 And 1161 when they had appointed 5021 5671 him 846 a day 2250, there came 2240 5707 many 4119 to 4314 him 846 into 1519 [his] lodging 3578; to whom 3739 he expounded 1620 5710 and testified 1263 5740 the kingdom 932 of God 2316, 5037 persuading 3982 5723 them 846 concerning 4012 Jesus 2424, both 5037 out of 575 the law 3551 of Moses 3475, and 2532 [out of] the prophets 4396, from 575 morning 4404 till 2193 evening 2073.

28:24 And 2532 some 3303 believed 3982 5712 the things which were spoken 3004 5746, and 1161 some believed not 569 5707.

28:25 And 1161 when they agreed not 800 5607 5752 among 4314 themselves 240, they departed 630 5710, after that Paul 3972 had spoken 2036 5631 one 1520 word 4487, 3754 Well 2573 spake 2980 5656 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 by 1223 Esaias 2268 the prophet 4396 unto 4314 our 2257 fathers 3962,

28:26 Saying 3004 5723, Go 4198 5676 unto 4314 this 5126 people 2992, and 2532 say 2036 5628, Hearing 189 ye shall hear 191 5692, and 2532 shall 4920 0 not 3364 understand 4920 5655; and 2532 seeing 991 5723 ye shall see 991 5692, and 2532 not 3364 perceive 1492 5632:

28:27 For 1063 the heart 2588 of this 5127 people 2992 is waxed gross 3975 5681, and 2532 their ears 3775 are dull 917 of hearing 191 5656, and 2532 their 846 eyes 3788 have they closed 2576 5656; lest 3379 they should see 1492 5632 with [their] eyes 3788, and 2532 hear 191 5661 with [their] ears 3775, and 2532 understand 4920 5632 with [their] heart 2588, and 2532 should be converted 1994 5661, and 2532 I should heal 2390 5667 them 846.

28:28 Be it 2077 5749 known 1110 therefore 3767 unto you 5213, that 3754 the salvation 4992 of God 2316 is sent 649 5648 unto the Gentiles 1484, and 2532 [that] they will hear 191 5695 it 846.

28:29 And 2532 when he 846 had said 2036 5631 these words 5023, the Jews 2453 departed 565 5627, and had 2192 5723 great 4183 reasoning 4803 among 1722 themselves 1438.

28:30 And 1161 Paul 3972 dwelt 3306 5656 two 1333 0 whole 3650 years 1333 in 1722 his own 2398 hired house 3410, and 2532 received 588 5711 all 3956 that came in 1531 5740 unto 4314 him 846,

28:31 Preaching 2784 5723 the kingdom 932 of God 2316, and 2532 teaching 1321 5723 those things which concern 4012 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, with 3326 all 3956 confidence 3954, no man forbidding him 209.
