Acts 28

1And^G2532 when we were escaped^G1295, then^G5119 we knew^G1921 that^G3754 the island^G3520 was called^G2564 Melita^G3194. 2And^G1161 the barbarians^G915 showed^G3930 us^G2254 no^G3756 common^G5177 kindness^G5363; for^G1063 they kindled^G381 a fire^G4443, and received^G4355 us^G2248 all^G3956, because^G1223 of the present^G2186 rain^G5205, and^G2532 because^G1223 of the cold^G5592. 3But^G1161 when Paul^G3972 had gathered^G4962 a bundle^G4128 of sticks^G5434 and^G2532 laid^G2007 them on^G1909 the fire^G4443, a viper^G2191 came^G1831 out by reason of^G1537 the heat^G2329, and fastened on^G2510 his^G846 hand^G5495. 4And^G1161 when^G5613 the barbarians^G915 saw^G1492 the venomous creature^G2342 hanging^G2910 from^G1537 his^G846 hand^G5495, they said^G3004 one^G4314 to another^G240, No doubt^G3843 this^G3778 man^G444 is^G2076 a murderer^G5406, whom^G3739, though he hath escaped^G1295 from the^G1537 sea^G2281, yet Justice^G1349 hath not^G3756 suffered^G1439 to live^G2198. 5Howbeit^G3303 he shook off^G660 the creature^G2342 into^G1519 the fire^G4442, and took^G3958 no^G3762 harm^G2556. 6But^G1161 they expected^G4328 that he^G846 would^G3195 have swollen^G4092, or^G2228 fallen down^G2667 dead^G3498 suddenly^G869: but^G1161 when they^G846 were long^G4328 in^G1909 expectation^G4183 and^G2532 beheld^G2334 nothing^G3367 amiss^G824 came^G1096 to^G1519 him^G846, they changed their minds^G3328, and said that^G3004 he^G846 was^G1511 a god^G2316. 7Now in^G1722 the^G1565 neighborhood^G5117 of that place were^G5225 lands^G5564 belonging^G4012 to the chief man^G4413 of the island^G3520, named^G3686 Publius^G4196, who^G3739 received^G324 us^G2248, and entertained us^G3579 three^G5140 days^G2250 courteously^G5390. 8And^G1161 it was so^G1096, that the father^G3962 of Publius^G4196 lay^G2621 sick^G4912 of fever^G4446 and^G2532 dysentery^G1420: unto^G4314 whom^G3739 Paul^G3972 entered in^G1525, and^G2532 prayed^G4336, and laying^G2007 his hands^G5495 on him^G846 healed^G2390 him^G846. 9And^G3767 when this^G5127 was done^G1096, the rest^G3062 also^G2532 that^G3588 had^G2192 diseases^G769 in^G1722 the island^G3520 came^G4334, and^G2532 were cured^G2323: 10who^G3739 also^G2532 honored^G5091 us^G2248 with many^G4183 honors^G5092; and^G2532 when we sailed^G321, they put on board^G2007 such things^G3588 as we^G4314 needed^G5532. 11And^G1161 after^G3326 three^G5140 months^G3376 we set sail^G321 in^G1722 a ship^G4143 of Alexandria^G222 which had wintered^G3914 in^G1722 the island^G3520, whose sign^G3902 was The Twin Brothers^G1359. 12And^G2532 touching^G2609 at^G1519 Syracuse^G4946, we tarried^G1961 there three^G5140 days^G2250. 13And from thence^G3606 we made a circuit^G4022, and arrived^G2658 at^G1519 Rhegium^G4484: and^G2532 after^G3326 one^G1520 day^G2250 a south wind^G3558 sprang up^G1920, and on the second day^G1206 we came^G2064 to^G1519 Puteoli^G4223; 14where^G3757 we found^G2147 brethren^G80, and were entreated^G3870 to tarry^G1961 with^G1909 them^G846 seven^G2033 days^G2250: and^G2532 so^G3779 we came^G2064 to^G1519 Rome^G4516. 15And from thence^G2547 the brethren^G80, when they heard^G191 of^G4012 us^G2257, came^G1831 to^G1519 meet^G529 us^G2254 as far as^G891 The Market^G5410 of Appius^G675 and^G2532 The Three^G5140 Taverns^G4999; whom^G3739 when Paul^G3972 saw^G1492, he thanked^G2168 God^G2316, and took^G2983 courage^G2294. 16And^G1161 when^G3753 we entered^G2064 into^G1519 Rome^G4516, Paul^G3972 was suffered^G2010 to^G1519 abide^G3306 by^G2596 himself^G1438 with^G4862 the soldier^G4757 that guarded^G5442 him^G846. 17And^G1161 it came to pass^G1096, that after^G3326 three^G5140 days^G2250 he^G3972 called^G4779 together^G4779 those that were the chief^G4413 of the Jews^G2453: and^G1161 when^G5607 they were^G846 come together^G4905, he said^G3004 unto^G4314 them^G846, I^G1473, brethren^G80, though I^G1473 had done^G4160 nothing^G3762 against^G1727 the people^G2992, or^G2228 the customs^G1485 of our fathers^G3971, yet was delivered^G3860 prisoner^G1198 from^G1537 Jerusalem^G2414 into^G1519 the hands^G5495 of the Romans^G4514: 18who^G3748, when they had examined^G350 me^G3165, desired^G1014 to set^G630 me at liberty^G630, because^G1223 there was^G5225 no^G3367 cause^G156 of death^G2288 in^G1722 me^G1698. 19But^G1161 when the Jews^G2453 spake against^G483 it, I was constrained^G315 to appeal^G1941 unto Caesar^G2541; not^G3756 that^G5613 I had^G2192 aught^G5100 whereof^G2723 to accuse^G2723 my^G3450 nation^G1484. 20For^G1223 this^G3778 cause^G156 therefore^G3767 did I entreat^G3870 you^G5209 to see^G1492 and^G2532 to speak with^G4354 me: for^G1063 because^G1752 of the hope^G1680 of Israel^G2474 I am bound with^G4029 this^G3778 chain^G254. 21And^G1161 they said^G2036 unto^G4314 him^G846, We^G2249 neither^G3777 received^G1209 letters^G1121 from^G575 Judaea^G2449 concerning^G4012 thee^G4675, nor^G3777 did any^G5100 of the brethren^G80 come^G3854 hither and report^G518 or^G2228 speak^G2980 any^G5100 harm^G4190 of^G4012 thee^G4675. 22But^G1161 we desire^G515 to hear^G191 of^G3844 thee^G4675 what^G3739 thou thinkest^G5426: for^G1063 as^G3303 concerning^G4012 this^G3778 sect^G139, it is known^G1110 to us^G2254 that^G3754 everywhere^G3837 it is^G2076 spoken against^G483. 23And^G1161 when they had appointed^G5021 him^G846 a day^G2250, they came^G2240 to^G4314 him^G846 into^G1519 his lodging^G3578 in great number^G4119; to whom^G3739 he expounded^G1620 the matter, testifying^G1263 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, and^G5037 persuading^G3982 them^G846 concerning^G4012 Jesus^G2424, both^G5037 from^G575 the law^G3551 of Moses^G3475 and^G2532 from the prophets^G4396, from^G575 morning^G4404 till^G2193 evening^G2073. 24And^G2532 some^G3588 believed^G3982 the things^G3588 which were spoken^G3004, and^G1161 some^G3588 disbelieved^G569. 25And^G1161 when^G5607 they agreed not^G800 among^G4314 themselves^G240, they departed^G630 after that Paul^G3972 had spoken^G2036 one^G1520 word^G3754, Well^G2573 spake^G2980 the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 through^G1223 Isaiah^G2268 the prophet^G4396 unto^G4314 your^G2257 fathers^G3962, 26saying^G3004, Go^G4198 thou unto^G4314 this^G5126 people^G2992, and^G2532 say^G2036, By hearing^G189 ye shall^G4920 hear^G191, and^G2532 shall^G4920 in no^G3756 wise^G4920 understand^G4920; And^G2532 seeing^G991 ye shall see^G991, and^G2532 shall in no^G3756 wise perceive^G1492: 27For^G1063 this^G5127 people's^G2992 heart^G2588 is waxed gross^G3975, And^G2532 their ears^G3775 are^G191 dull of^G917 hearing^G191, And^G2532 their^G846 eyes^G3788 they have closed^G2576; Lest^G3379, haply they should perceive^G1492 with^G3788 their eyes^G3788, And^G2532 hear^G191 with^G3775 their ears^G3775, And^G2532 understand^G4920 with^G2588 their heart^G2588, And^G2532 should turn again^G1994, And^G2532 I should heal^G2390 them^G846. 28Be it^G2077 known^G1110 therefore^G3767 unto you^G5213, that^G3754 this salvation^G4992 of God^G2316 is sent^G649 unto the Gentiles^G1484: they^G846 will also^G2532 hear^G191. 29(not in this translation) 30And^G1161 he^G3972 abode^G3306 two^G1333 whole^G3650 years^G1333 in^G1722 his own^G2398 hired dwelling^G3410, and^G2532 received^G588 all^G3956 that went in^G1531 unto^G4314 him^G846, 31preaching^G2784 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, and^G2532 teaching^G1321 the things^G3588 concerning^G4012 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 with^G3326 all^G3956 boldness^G3954, none forbidding him^G209.
