28:1 | And <2532> when they were escaped <1295> (5685), then <5119> they knew <1921> (5627) that <3754> the island <3520> was called <2564> (5743) Melita <3194>. |
28:2 | And <1161> the barbarous people <915> shewed <3930> (5707) us <2254> no <3756> little <5177> (5631) kindness <5363>: for <1063> they kindled <381> (5660) a fire <4443>, and received <4355> (5639) us <2248> every one <3956>, because <1223> of the present <2186> (5761) rain <5205>, and <2532> because <1223> of the cold <5592>. |
28:3 | And <1161> when Paul <3972> had gathered <4962> (5660) a bundle <4128> of sticks <5434>, and <2532> laid <2007> (5631) [them] on <1909> the fire <4443>, there came <1831> (5631) a viper <2191> out of <1537> the heat <2329>, and fastened on <2510> (5656) his <846> hand <5495>. |
28:4 | And <1161> when <5613> the barbarians <915> saw <1492> (5627) the [venomous] beast <2342> hang <2910> (5734) on <1537> his <846> hand <5495>, they said <3004> (5707) among <4314> themselves <240>, No doubt <3843> this <3778> man <444> is <2076> (5748) a murderer <5406>, whom <3739>, though he hath escaped <1295> (5685) <1537> the sea <2281>, yet vengeance <1349> suffereth <1439> (5656) not <3756> to live <2198> (5721). |
28:5 | And <3303> <3767> he shook off <660> (5660) the beast <2342> into <1519> the fire <4442>, and felt <3958> (5627) no <3762> harm <2556>. |
28:6 | Howbeit <1161> they looked <4328> (5707) when he <846> should <3195> (5721) have swollen <4092> (5745), or <2228> fallen down <2667> (5721) dead <3498> suddenly <869>: but <1161> after they <846> had looked <4328> (5723) a great while <1909> <4183>, and <2532> saw <2334> (5723) no <3367> harm <824> come <1096> (5740) to <1519> him <846>, they changed their minds <3328> (5734), and said <3004> (5707) that he <846> was <1511> (5750) a god <2316>. |
28:7 | <1161> In <1722> <4012> the same <1565> quarters <5117> were <5225> (5707) possessions <5564> of the chief man <4413> of the island <3520>, whose name was <3686> Publius <4196>; who <3739> received <324> (5666) us <2248>, and lodged us <3579> (5656) three <5140> days <2250> courteously <5390>. |
28:8 | And <1161> it came to pass <1096> (5633), that the father <3962> of Publius <4196> lay <2621> (5738) sick of <4912> (5746) a fever <4446> and <2532> of a bloody flux <1420>: to <4314> whom <3739> Paul <3972> entered in <1525> (5631), and <2532> prayed <4336> (5666), and laid <2007> (0) his hands <5495> on <2007> (5631) him <846>, and healed <2390> (5662) him <846>. |
28:9 | So <3767> when <1096> (0) this <5127> was done <1096> (5637), others <3062> also <2532>, which <3588> had <2192> (5723) diseases <769> in <1722> the island <3520>, came <4334> (5711), and <2532> were healed <2323> (5712): |
28:10 | Who <3739> also <2532> honoured <5092> us <2248> with many <4183> honours <5091> (5656); and <2532> when we departed <321> (5746), they laded <2007> (5639) [us] with such things as <4314> were necessary <5532>. |
28:11 | And <1161> after <3326> three <5140> months <3376> we departed <321> (5681) in <1722> a ship <4143> of Alexandria <222>, which had wintered <3914> (5761) in <1722> the isle <3520>, whose sign <3902> was Castor and Pollux <1359>. |
28:12 | And <2532> landing <2609> (5685) at <1519> Syracuse <4946>, we tarried <1961> (5656) [there] three <5140> days <2250>. |
28:13 | And from thence <3606> we fetched a compass <4022> (5631), and came <2658> (5656) to <1519> Rhegium <4484>: and <2532> after <3326> one <3391> day <2250> the south wind <3558> blew <1920> (5637), and we came <2064> (5627) the next day <1206> to <1519> Puteoli <4223>: |
28:14 | Where <3757> we found <2147> (5631) brethren <80>, and were desired <3870> (5681) to tarry <1961> (5658) with <1909> them <846> seven <2033> days <2250>: and <2532> so <3779> we went <2064> (5627) toward <1519> Rome <4516>. |
28:15 | And from thence <2547>, when the brethren <80> heard <191> (5660) of <4012> us <2257>, they came <1831> (5627) to meet <529> <1519> us <2254> as far as <891> Appii <675> forum <5410>, and <2532> The three <5140> taverns <4999>: whom <3739> when Paul <3972> saw <1492> (5631), he thanked <2168> (5660) God <2316>, and took <2983> (5627) courage <2294>. |
28:16 | And <1161> when <3753> we came <2064> (5627) to <1519> Rome <4516>, the centurion <1543> delivered <3860> (5656) the prisoners <1198> to the captain of the guard <4759>: but <1161> Paul <3972> was suffered <2010> (5681) to dwell <3306> (5721) by <2596> himself <1438> with <4862> a soldier <4757> that kept <5442> (5723) him <846>. |
28:17 | And <1161> it came to pass <1096> (5633), that after <3326> three <5140> days <2250> Paul <3972> called <4779> (0) the chief <4413> <5607> (5752) of the Jews <2453> together <4779> (5670): and <1161> when they <846> were come together <4905> (5631), he said <3004> (5707) unto <4314> them <846>, Men <435> [and] brethren <80>, though I <1473> have committed <4160> (5660) nothing <3762> against <1727> the people <2992>, or <2228> customs <1485> of our fathers <3971>, yet was I delivered <3860> (5681) prisoner <1198> from <1537> Jerusalem <2414> into <1519> the hands <5495> of the Romans <4514>. |
28:18 | Who <3748>, when they had examined <350> (5660) me <3165>, would <1014> (5711) have let [me] go <630> (5658), because <1223> there was <5225> (5721) no <3367> cause <156> of death <2288> in <1722> me <1698>. |
28:19 | But <1161> when the Jews <2453> spake against <483> (5723) [it], I was constrained <315> (5681) to appeal <1941> (5670) unto Caesar <2541>; not <3756> that <5613> I had <2192> (5723) ought <5100> to accuse <2723> (0) my <3450> nation <1484> of <2723> (5658). |
28:20 | For <1223> this <5026> cause <156> therefore <3767> have I called <3870> (5656) for you <5209>, to see <1492> (5629) [you], and <2532> to speak with <4354> (5658) [you]: because that <1752> for <1063> the hope <1680> of Israel <2474> I am bound with <4029> (5736) this <5026> chain <254>. |
28:21 | And <1161> they said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> him <846>, We <2249> neither <3777> received <1209> (5662) letters <1121> out of <575> Judaea <2449> concerning <4012> thee <4675>, neither <3777> any <5100> of the brethren <80> that came <3854> (5637) shewed <518> (5656) or <2228> spake <2980> (5656) any <5100> harm <4190> of <4012> thee <4675>. |
28:22 | But <1161> we desire <515> (5719) to hear <191> (5658) of <3844> thee <4675> what <3739> thou thinkest <5426> (5719): for <1063> as concerning <4012> <3303> this <5026> sect <139>, we <2254> know <2076> (5748) <1110> that <3754> every where <3837> it is spoken against <483> (5743). |
28:23 | And <1161> when they had appointed <5021> (5671) him <846> a day <2250>, there came <2240> (5707) many <4119> to <4314> him <846> into <1519> [his] lodging <3578>; to whom <3739> he expounded <1620> (5710) and testified <1263> (5740) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, <5037> persuading <3982> (5723) them <846> concerning <4012> Jesus <2424>, both <5037> out of <575> the law <3551> of Moses <3475>, and <2532> [out of] the prophets <4396>, from <575> morning <4404> till <2193> evening <2073>. |
28:24 | And <2532> some <3303> believed <3982> (5712) the things which were spoken <3004> (5746), and <1161> some believed not <569> (5707). |
28:25 | And <1161> when they agreed not <800> <5607> (5752) among <4314> themselves <240>, they departed <630> (5710), after that Paul <3972> had spoken <2036> (5631) one <1520> word <4487>, <3754> Well <2573> spake <2980> (5656) the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> by <1223> Esaias <2268> the prophet <4396> unto <4314> our <2257> fathers <3962>, |
28:26 | Saying <3004> (5723), Go <4198> (5676) unto <4314> this <5126> people <2992>, and <2532> say <2036> (5628), Hearing <189> ye shall hear <191> (5692), and <2532> shall <4920> (0) not <3364> understand <4920> (5655); and <2532> seeing <991> (5723) ye shall see <991> (5692), and <2532> not <3364> perceive <1492> (5632): |
28:27 | For <1063> the heart <2588> of this <5127> people <2992> is waxed gross <3975> (5681), and <2532> their ears <3775> are dull <917> of hearing <191> (5656), and <2532> their <846> eyes <3788> have they closed <2576> (5656); lest <3379> they should see <1492> (5632) with [their] eyes <3788>, and <2532> hear <191> (5661) with [their] ears <3775>, and <2532> understand <4920> (5632) with [their] heart <2588>, and <2532> should be converted <1994> (5661), and <2532> I should heal <2390> (5667) them <846>. |
28:28 | Be it <2077> (5749) known <1110> therefore <3767> unto you <5213>, that <3754> the salvation <4992> of God <2316> is sent <649> (5648) unto the Gentiles <1484>, and <2532> [that] they will hear <191> (5695) it <846>. |
28:29 | And <2532> when he <846> had said <2036> (5631) these words <5023>, the Jews <2453> departed <565> (5627), and had <2192> (5723) great <4183> reasoning <4803> among <1722> themselves <1438>. |
28:30 | And <1161> Paul <3972> dwelt <3306> (5656) two <1333> (0) whole <3650> years <1333> in <1722> his own <2398> hired house <3410>, and <2532> received <588> (5711) all <3956> that came in <1531> (5740) (5734) unto <4314> him <846>, |
28:31 | Preaching <2784> (5723) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, and <2532> teaching <1321> (5723) those things which concern <4012> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, with <3326> all <3956> confidence <3954>, no man forbidding him <209>. |
