Acts 28:7-14

7Now in the neighboring parts of that place were lands belonging to the 1leading man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us warmly for three days. 8And it happened that the father of Publius was lying in bed afflicted with a recurring fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and after he 2prayed, he 3laid his hands on him and healed him. 9After this happened, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases were coming to him and being cured. 10They also showed us many honors, and when we were about to set sail, they 4supplied us with 5everything we needed.

11After three months we set sail on 6an Alexandrian ship which had wintered at the island, and which had 7the Twin Brothers for its figurehead. 12After we put in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days. 13From there we sailed around and arrived at Rhegium, and a day later a south wind came up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli. 148There we found some 9brothers and sisters, and were invited to stay with them for seven days; and that is how we came to Rome.
