Acts 28:7-14

7There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days.

8His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him.

9When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured.

10They honored us in many ways; and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed.

11After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the island—it was an Alexandrian ship with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux.

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

13From there we set sail and arrived at Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up, and on the following day we reached Puteoli.

14There we found some brothers and sisters who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome.
