Acts 28

1AndG2532 when they were escapedG1295, thenG5119 they knewG1921 thatG3754 the islandG3588G3520 was calledG2564 MelitaG3194.

2AndG1161 the barbarous peopleG3588G915 shewedG3930 usG1473 noG3756 littleG3588G5177 kindnessG5363: forG1063 they kindledG381 a fireG4443, and receivedG4355 usG1473 every oneG3956, becauseG1223 of the presentG3588G2186 rainG3588G5205, andG2532 becauseG1223 of the coldG3588G5592.

3AndG1161 when PaulG3588G3972 had gatheredG4962 a bundleG4128 of sticksG5434, andG2532 laidG2007 them onG1909 the fireG3588G4443, there cameG1831 a viperG2191 out ofG1537 the heatG3588G2329, and fastened onG2510 hisG846 handG3588G5495.

4AndG1161 whenG5613 the barbariansG3588G915 sawG3708 theG3588G2342 venomous beastG3588G2342 hangG2910 onG1537 hisG846 handG3588G5495, they saidG3004 amongG4314 themselvesG240, No doubtG3843 thisG3778 manG3588G444 isG1510 a murdererG5406, whomG3739, thoughG1537 he hath escapedG1295 the seaG3588G2281, yet vengeanceG3588G1349 sufferethG1439 notG3756 to liveG2198.

5AndG3767 he shook offG660 the beastG3588G2342 intoG1519 the fireG3588G4442, and feltG3958 noG3762 harmG2556.

6HowbeitG1161 they lookedG4328 when heG846 shouldG3195 have swollenG4092, orG2228 fallen downG2667 deadG3498 suddenlyG869: butG1161 after theyG846 had lookedG4328 a great whileG4183, andG2532 sawG2334 noG3367 harmG824 comeG1096 toG1519 himG846, they changed their mindsG3328, and said thatG3004 heG846 wasG1510 a godG2316.

7InG1722 the sameG1565 quartersG3588G5117 wereG5225 possessionsG5564 ofG4012 the chief manG4413 of the islandG3588G3520, whose nameG3686 was PubliusG4196; whoG3739 receivedG324 usG1473, and lodged usG3579 threeG5140 daysG2250 courteouslyG5390.

8AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that the fatherG3588G3962 of PubliusG3588G4196 layG2621 sickG4912 of a feverG4446 andG2532 of a bloody fluxG1420: toG4314 whomG3739 PaulG3588G3972 entered inG1525, andG2532 prayedG4336, and laidG2007 his handsG3588G5495 on himG846, and healedG2390 himG846.

9SoG3767 when thisG3778 was doneG1096, othersG3062 alsoG2532, whichG3588 hadG2192 diseasesG769 inG1722 the islandG3588G3520, cameG4334, andG2532 were healedG2323:

10WhoG3739 alsoG2532 honouredG5091 usG1473 with manyG4183 honoursG5092; andG2532 when we departedG321, they ladedG2007 us with such thingsG3588 as wereG4314 necessaryG3588G5532.

11AndG1161 afterG3326 threeG5140 monthsG3376 we departedG321 inG1722 a shipG4143 of AlexandriaG222, which had winteredG3914 inG1722 the isleG3588G3520, whose signG3902 was Castor and PolluxG1359.

12AndG2532 landingG2609 atG1519 SyracuseG4946, we tarriedG1961 there threeG5140 daysG2250.

13And from thenceG3606 we fetched a compassG4022, and cameG2658 toG1519 RhegiumG4484: andG2532 afterG3326 oneG1520 dayG2250 the south windG3558 blewG1920, and we cameG2064 the next dayG1206 toG1519 PuteoliG4223:

14WhereG3757 we foundG2147 brethrenG80, and were desiredG3870 to tarryG1961 withG1909 themG846 sevenG2033 daysG2250: andG2532 soG3779 we wentG2064 towardG1519 RomeG3588G4516.

15And from thenceG2547, when the brethrenG3588G80 heardG191 ofG4012 usG1473, they cameG1831 toG1519 meetG529 usG1473 as far asG891 AppiiG675 forumG5410, andG2532 The threeG5140 tavernsG4999: whomG3739 when PaulG3588G3972 sawG3708, he thankedG2168 GodG3588G2316, and tookG2983 courageG2294.

16AndG1161 whenG3753 we cameG2064 toG1519 RomeG4516, the centurionG3588G1543 deliveredG3860 the prisonersG3588G1198 to the captain of the guardG3588G4759: butG1161 PaulG3588G3972 was sufferedG2010 to dwellG3306 byG2596 himselfG1438 withG4862 a soldierG4757 that keptG3588G5442 himG846.

17AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that afterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 PaulG3588G3972 calledG4779 the chiefG4413 of the JewsG3588G2453 togetherG4779: andG1161 whenG3588G1510 they wereG846 come togetherG4905, he saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, MenG435 and brethrenG80, though IG1473 have committedG4160 nothingG3762 againstG1727 the peopleG3588G2992, orG2228 customsG3588G1485 of our fathersG3588G3971, yet was I deliveredG3860 prisonerG1198 fromG1537 JerusalemG2414 intoG1519 the handsG3588G5495 of the RomansG3588G4514.

18WhoG3748, when they had examinedG350 meG1473, would haveG1014 letG630 me goG630, becauseG1223 there wasG5225 noG3367 causeG156 of deathG2288 inG1722 meG1473.

19ButG1161 when the JewsG2453 spake againstG483 it, I was constrainedG315 to appealG1941 unto CæsarG2541; notG3756 thatG5613 I hadG2192 oughtG5100 to accuseG2723 myG1473 nationG3588G1484 ofG2723.

20ForG1223 thisG3778 causeG3588G156 thereforeG3767 have I calledG3870 for youG4771, to seeG3708 you, andG2532 to speak withG4354 you: because thatG1752 forG1063 the hopeG3588G1680 of IsraelG2474 I am bound withG4029 thisG3778 chainG3588G254.

21AndG1161 they saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, WeG1473 neitherG3777 receivedG1209 lettersG1121 outG575 of JudæaG3588G2449 concerningG4012 theeG4771, neitherG3777 anyG5100 of the brethrenG3588G80 that cameG3854 shewedG518 orG2228 spakeG2980 anyG5100 harmG4190 ofG4012 theeG4771.

22ButG1161 we desireG515 to hearG191 ofG3844 theeG4771 whatG3739 thou thinkestG5426: forG1063 asG3303 concerningG4012 thisG3778 sectG3588G139, weG1473 knowG1110 thatG3754 every whereG3837 it isG1510 spoken againstG483.

23AndG1161 when they had appointedG5021 himG846 a dayG2250, there cameG2240 manyG4119 toG4314 himG846 intoG1519 his lodgingG3588G3578; to whomG3739 he expoundedG1620 andG5037 testifiedG1263 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316, persuadingG3982 themG846 concerningG4012 JesusG3588G2424, bothG5037 outG575 of the lawG3588G3551 of MosesG3475, andG2532 out of the prophetsG3588G4396, fromG575 morningG4404 tillG2193 eveningG2073.

24AndG2532 someG3303 believedG3982 the thingsG3588 which were spokenG3004, andG1161 someG3588 believed notG569.

25AndG1161 whenG1510 they agreed notG800 amongG4314 themselvesG240, they departedG630, after that PaulG3588G3972 had spokenG3004 oneG1520 wordG4487, WellG2573 spakeG2980 the HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151 byG1223 IsaiahG2268 the prophetG3588G4396 untoG4314 ourG1473 fathersG3588G3962,

26SayingG3004, GoG4198 untoG4314 thisG3778 peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 sayG3004, HearingG189 ye shall hearG191, andG2532 shallG4920 notG3756 understandG4920; andG2532 seeingG991 ye shall seeG991, andG2532 notG3756 perceiveG3708:

27ForG1063 the heartG3588G2588 of thisG3778 peopleG3588G2992 is waxed grossG3975, andG2532 their earsG3588G3775 areG191 dull ofG917 hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3588G3788 have they closedG2576; lestG3379 they should seeG3708 withG3588G3788 their eyesG3588G3788, andG2532 hearG191 withG3588G3775 their earsG3588G3775, andG2532 understandG4920 withG3588G2588 their heartG3588G2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.

28Be itG1510 knownG1110 thereforeG3767 unto youG4771, thatG3754 the salvationG4992 of GodG3588G2316 is sentG649 unto the GentilesG3588G1484, andG2532 that theyG846 will hear itG191.

29AndG2532 when heG846 had saidG3004 these wordsG3778, the JewsG2453 departedG565, and hadG2192 greatG4183 reasoningG4803 amongG1722 themselvesG1438.

30AndG1161 PaulG3588G3972 dweltG3306 twoG1333 wholeG3650 yearsG1333 inG1722 his ownG2398 hired houseG3410, andG2532 receivedG588 allG3956 that came inG1531 untoG4314 himG846,

31PreachingG2784 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 teachingG1321 those thingsG3588 which concernG4012 the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, withG3326 allG3956 confidenceG3954, no man forbidding himG209.
