DAY 30 FOR A GOAL OF READING THE BOOK OF ACTS IN 30 DAYS

AC-28:15  And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came

to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when

Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

AC-28:16  And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the

prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to

dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

AC-28:17  And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the

chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he

said unto them, Men [and] brethren, though I have committed nothing

against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered

prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

AC-28:18  Who, when they had examined me, would have let [me] go,

because there was no cause of death in me.

AC-28:19  But when the Jews spake against [it], I was constrained to

appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

AC-28:20  For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see

[you], and to speak with [you]: because that for the hope of Israel

I am bound with this chain.

AC-28:21  And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of

Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came showed

or spake any harm of thee.

AC-28:22  But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as

concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

AC-28:23  And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to

him into [his] lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the

kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the

law of Moses, and [out of] the prophets, from morning till evening.

AC-28:24  And some believed the things which were spoken, and some

believed not.

AC-28:25  And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed,

after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by

Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

AC-28:26  Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall

hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not

perceive:

AC-28:27  For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their

ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they

should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and

understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should

heal them.

AC-28:28  Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God

is sent unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear it.

AC-28:29  And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and

had great reasoning among themselves.

AC-28:30  And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and

received all that came in unto him,

AC-28:31  Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things

which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man

forbidding him.
