Acts 28:7-14

7Now in the region around that place were fields belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us hospitably as guests for three days.

8The father of Publius lay sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and after praying, placed his hands on him and healed him.

9After this had happened, many of the people on the island who were sick also came and were healed.

10They also bestowed many honors, and when we were preparing to sail, they gave us all the supplies we needed.

11After three months we put out to sea in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered at the island and had the “Heavenly Twins” as its figurehead.

12We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days.

13From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium, and after one day a south wind sprang up and on the second day we came to Puteoli.

14There we found some brothers and were invited to stay with them seven days. And in this way we came to Rome.
