28:2

And1161 the barbarous people915 shewed3930 us2254 no3756 little5177 kindness5363: for1063 they kindled381 a fire4443, and received4355 us2248 every one3956, because1223 of the present2186 rain5205, and2532 because1223 of the cold5592.

And1161 when Paul3972 had gathered4962 a bundle4128 of sticks5434, and2532 laid2007 them on1909 the fire4443, there came1831 a viper2191 out of1537 the heat2329, and fastened on2510 his846 hand5495.

28:4

And1161 when5613 the barbarians915 saw1492 the venomous beast2342 hang2910 on1537 his846 hand5495, they said3004 among4314 themselves240, No doubt3843 this3778 man444 is2076 a murderer5406, whom3739, though he hath escaped1295 the sea2281, yet vengeance1349 suffereth1439 not3756 to live2198.

28:5

28:6

Howbeit1161 they looked4328 when he846 should3195 have swollen4092, or2228 fallen down2667 dead3498 suddenly869: but1161 after they846 had looked4328 a great while1909, and2532 saw2334 no3367 harm824 come1096 to1519 him846, they changed their minds3328, and said3004 that he846 was1511 a mighty one2316.

28:7

In1722 the same1565 quarters5117 were5225 possessions5564 of the chief man4413 of the island3520, whose name was3686 Publius4196; who3739 received324 us2248, and lodged us3579 three5140 days2250 courteously5390.

28:8

And1161 it came to pass1096, that the father3962 of Publius4196 lay2621 sick of4912 a fever4446 and2532 of a bloody flux1420: to4314 whom3739 Paul3972 entered in1525 and2532 prayed4336, and laid2007 his hands5495 on2007 him846, and healed2390 him846.

28:9

So3767 when1096 this5127 was done1096, others3062 also2532, which3588 had2192 diseases769 in1722 the island3520, came4334, and2532 were healed2323:

28:10

Who3739 also2532 honoured5092 us2248 with many4183 honours5091, and2532 when we departed321, they laded2007 us with such things as4314 were necessary5532.

28:14

Where3757 we found2147 brethren80, and were desired3870 to tarry1961 with1909 them846 seven2033 days2250: and2532 so3779 we went2064 toward1519 Rome4516.

28:15

And from thence2547, when the brethren80 heard191 of4012 us2257, they came1831 to meet529 us2254 as far as891 Appii675 forum5410, and2532 The three5140 taverns4999: whom3739 when Paul3972 saw1492, he thanked2168 Elohim2316, and took2983 courage2294.

28:16

And1161 it came to pass1096, that after3326 three5140 days2250 Paul3972 called4779 the chief4413 of the Jews2453 together4779: and1161 when they846 were come together4905, he said3004 unto4314 them846, Men435 and brethren80, though I1473 have committed4160 nothing3762 against1727 the people2992, or2228 customs1485 of our fathers3971, yet was I delivered3860 prisoner1198 from1537 Jerusalem2414 into1519 the hands5495 of the Romans4514.

28:18

Who3748, when they had examined350 me3165, would1014 have let me go630, because1223 there was5225 no3367 cause156 of death2288 in1722 me1698.

28:19

But1161 when the Jews2453 spake against483 it, I was constrained315 to appeal1941 unto Caesar2541; not3756 that5613 I had2192 ought5100 to accuse2723 my3450 nation1484 of2723.

28:20

For1223 this5026 cause156 therefore3767 have I called3870 for you5209, to see1492 you, and2532 to speak with4354 you: because that1752 for1063 the hope1680 of Israel2474 I am bound with4029 this5026 chain254.

28:21

And1161 they said2036 unto4314 him846, We2249 neither3777 received1209 letters1121 out of575 Judaea2449 concerning4012 thee4675, neither3777 any5100 of the brethren80 that came3854 shewed518 or2228 spake2980 any5100 harm4190 of4012 thee4675.

28:22

But1161 we desire515 to hear191 of3844 thee4675 what3739 thou thinkest5426: for1063 as concerning4012 this5026 sect139, we2254 know2076 that3754 every where3837 it is spoken against483.

28:23

And1161 when they had appointed5021 him846 a day2250, there came2240 many4119 to4314 him846 into1519 his lodging3578; to whom3739 he expounded1620 and testified1263 the kingdom932 of Yahweh2316, 5037 persuading3982 them846 concerning4012 Yahshua2424, both5037 out of575 the law3551 of Moses3475, and2532 out of the prophets4396, from575 morning4404 till2193 evening2073.

28:26

Saying3004, Go4198 unto4314 this5126 people2992, and2532 say2036, Hearing189 ye shall hear191, and2532 shall4920 not3364 understand4920; and2532 seeing991 ye shall see991, and2532 not3364 perceive1492:

28:27

For1063 the heart2588 of this5127 people2992 is waxed gross3975, and2532 their ears3775 are dull917 of hearing191, and2532 their846 eyes3788 have they closed2576; lest3379 they should see1492 with their eyes3788, and2532 hear191 with their ears3775, and2532 understand4920 with their heart2588, and2532 should be converted1994, and2532 I should heal2390 them846.

28:28

Be it2077 known1110 therefore3767 unto you5213, that3754 the salvation4992 of Elohim2316 is sent649 unto the Gentiles1484, and2532 that they will hear191 it846.

28:31

Preaching2784 the kingdom932 of Yahweh2316, and2532 teaching1321 those things which concern4012 the Sovereign2962 Yahshua2424 Messiah5547, with3326 all3956 confidence3954, no man forbidding him209.
