AC-28:1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the
island was called
Melita.
AC-28:2 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness:
for they
kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the
present rain, and
because of the cold.
AC-28:3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid
[them] on the
fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his
hand.
AC-28:4 And when the barbarians saw the [venomous] beast hang
on his hand,
they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer,
whom, though he
hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
AC-28:5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no
harm.
AC-28:6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or
fallen down dead
suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no
harm come to him,
they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
AC-28:7 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man
of the island,
whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three
days courteously.
AC-28:8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay
sick of a fever
and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and
laid his hands
on him, and healed him.
AC-28:9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases
in the island,
came, and were healed:
AC-28:10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we
departed, they
laded [us] with such things as were necessary.
AC-28:11 And after three months we departed in a ship of
Alexandria, which had
wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
AC-28:12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days.
AC-28:13 And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to
Rhegium: and after
one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
AC-28:14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry
with them seven
days: and so we went toward Rome.
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
