Actes 28

1 Paul after his shipwreck is kindly entertained of the barbarians. 5 The viper on his hand hurteth him not. 8 He healeth many diseases in the island. 11 They depart towards Rome. 17 He declareth to the Jews the cause of his coming. 24 After his preaching some were persuaded, and some believed not. 30 Yet he preacheth there two years.

 28:1 ¶ And 2532 when they were escaped, 1295 z5685 then 5119 they knew 1921 z5627 that 3754 the x3588 Iland 3520 was called 2564 z5743 Melita. 3194

 28:2 And 1161 the x3588 barbarous people 915 shewed 3930 z5707 vs 2254 no 3756 little 5177 z5631 kindnesse: 5363 for 1063 they kindled 381 z5660 a fire, 4443 and receiued 4355 z5639 vs 2248 euery one 3956 because 1223 of the x3588 present 2186 z5761 raine, 5205 and 2532 because 1223 of the x3588 cold. 5592

 28:3 And 1161 when Paul 3972 had gathered 4962 z5660 a bundle 4128 of stickes, 5434 and 2532 layde 2007 z5631 them on 1909 the x3588 fire, 4443 there came 1831 z5631 a Uiper 2191 out of 1537 the x3588 heat, 2329 and fastened x2510 on y2510 z5656 his y846 x848 hand. 5495

 28:4 And 1161 when 5613 the x3588 Barbarians 915 saw 1492 z5627 the x3588 venomous beast 2342 hang 2910 z5734 on 1537 his y846 x848 hand, 5495 they saide 3004 z5707 among 4314 themselues, 240 No doubt 3843 this 3778 man 444 is 2076 z5748 a murtherer, 5406 whom 3739 though hee hath escaped 1295 z5685 y1537 the x3588 Sea, 2281 yet Uengeance 1349 suffereth 1439 z5656 not 3756 to liue. 2198 z5721

 28:5 And 3767 y3303 hee x3588 x3303 shooke off 660 z5660 the x3588 beast 2342 into 1519 the x3588 fire, 4442 and felt 3958 z5627 no 3762 harme. 2556

 28:6 Howbeit, 1161 they x3588 looked y4328 z5707 x4238 when hee 846 should 3195 z5721 haue swollen, 4092 z5745 or 2228 fallen downe 2667 z5721 dead 3498 suddenly: 869 but 1161 after they 846 had looked 4328 z5723 a great while, 1909 4183 and 2532 saw 2334 z5723 no y3367 harme 824 x3367 come 1096 z5740 to 1519 him, 846 they changed their minds, 3328 z5734 and said 3004 z5707 that he 846 was 1511 z5750 a God. 2316

 28:7 1161 In 1722 y4012 the x3588 same y1565 quarters 5117 x4012 x1565 were 5225 z5707 possessions 5564 of the x3588 chiefe man 4413 of the x3588 Iland, 3520 whose name x3686 was y3686 Publius, 4196 who 3739 receiued 324 z5666 vs, 2248 and lodged x3579 vs y3579 z5656 three 5140 dayes 2250 courteously. 5390

 28:8 And 1161 it came to passe 1096 z5633 that the x3588 father 3962 of Publius 4196 lay 2621 z5738 sicke x4912 of y4912 z5746 a feuer, 4446 and 2532 of a bloody-flixe, 1420 to 4314 whom 3739 Paul 3972 entred in, 1525 z5631 and 2532 prayed, 4336 z5666 and layed 2007 z0 his hands 5495 on y2007 z5631 him, 846 and healed 2390 z5662 him. 846

 28:9 So 3767 when y1096 z0 this 5127 was done, 1096 z5637 others 3062 also 2532 which y3588 had 2192 z5723 diseases 769 in 1722 the x3588 Iland, 3520 came, 4334 z5711 and 2532 were healed: 2323 z5712

 28:10 Who 3739 also 2532 honoured 5092 vs 2248 with many 4183 honours, 5091 z5656 and 2532 when wee departed, 321 z5746 they laded 2007 z5639 vs with such things as y4314 were necessary. 5532 x4314

 28:11 And 1161 after 3326 three 5140 moneths 3376 wee departed 321 z5681 in 1722 a ship 4143 of Alexandria, 222 which had wintered 3914 z5761 in 1722 the x3588 Ile, 3520 whose signe 3902 was Castor and Pollux. 1359

 28:12 And 2532 landing 2609 z5685 at 1519 Syracuse 4946 wee taried 1961 z5656 there three 5140 dayes. 2250

 28:13 And from thence 3606 wee fet a compasse, 4022 z5631 and came 2658 z5656 to 1519 Rhegium, 4484 and 2532 after 3326 one 3391 day 2250 the South winde 3558 blew, 1920 z5637 and we came 2064 z5627 the next day 1206 to 1519 Puteoli: 4223

 28:14 Where 3757 wee found 2147 z5631 brethren, 80 and were desired 3870 z5681 to tary 1961 z5658 with 1909 them 846 seuen 2033 dayes: 2250 and 2532 so 3779 we went 2064 z5627 toward 1519 Rome. 4516

 28:15 And from thence, 2547 when the x3588 brethren 80 heard 191 z5660 of 4012 vs, 2257 they came 1831 z5627 to x1519 meet 529 y1519 vs 2254 as farre as 891 Appii 675 forum, 5410 and 2532 the three 5140 Tauernes: 4999 whom 3739 when Paul 3972 saw, 1492 z5631 he thanked 2168 z5660 God, 2316 and tooke 2983 z5627 courage. 2294

 28:16 And 1161 when 3753 we came 2064 z5627 to 1519 Rome, 4516 the x3588 Centurion 1543 deliuered 3860 z5656 the x3588 prisoners 1198 to the x3588 Captaine of the guard: 4759 but 1161 Paul 3972 was suffered 2010 z5681 to dwell 3306 z5721 by 2596 himselfe, 1438 with 4862 a souldier 4757 that kept 5442 z5723 him. 846

 28:17 And 1161 it came to passe, 1096 z5633 that after 3326 three 5140 dayes, 2250 Paul 3972 called y4779 z0 the chiefe y4413 y5607 z5752 of the Iewes y2453 together. 4779 3588 z5670 x5607 x4413 x2453 And 1161 when they y846 x848 were come together, 4905 z5631 he said 3004 z5707 vnto 4314 them, 846 Men 435 and brethren, 80 though I 1473 haue committed 4160 z5660 nothing 3762 against 1727 the x3588 people, 2992 or 2228 customes 1485 of our fathers, 3971 yet was I deliuered 3860 z5681 prisoner 1198 from 1537 Hierusalem 2414 into 1519 the x3588 hands 5495 of the x3588 Romanes. 4514

 28:18 Who 3748 when they had examined 350 z5660 me, 3165 would 1014 z5711 haue let me goe, 630 z5658 because y1223 there was 5225 z5721 no 3367 cause 156 of death 2288 in 1722 me. 1698

 28:19 But 1161 when the x3588 Iewes 2453 spake against 483 z5723 it, I was constrained 315 z5681 to appeale y1941 z5670 vnto x1941 Cesar, 2541 not 3756 that 5613 I had 2192 z5723 ought 5100 to accuse 2723 z0 my 3450 nation 1484 of. y2723 z5658

 28:20 For 1223 this 5026 cause 156 therefore 3767 haue I called 3870 z5656 for you, 5209 to see 1492 z5629 you, and 2532 to speake with 4354 z5658 you: because x1752 that y1752 for 1063 the x3588 hope 1680 of Israel 2474 I am bound x4029 with y4029 z5736 this 5026 chaine. 254

 28:21 And 1161 they x3588 saide 2036 z5627 vnto 4314 him, 846 Wee 2249 neither 3777 receiued 1209 z5662 letters 1121 out of 575 Iudea 2449 concerning 4012 thee, 4675 neither 3777 any 5100 of the x3588 brethren 80 that came, 3854 z5637 shewed 518 z5656 or 2228 spake 2980 z5656 any 5100 harme 4190 of 4012 thee. 4675

 28:22 But 1161 we desire 515 z5719 to heare 191 z5658 of 3844 thee 4675 what 3739 thou thinkest: 5426 z5719 for 1063 as x3303 concerning 4012 y3303 this 5026 sect, 139 we 2254 know 2076 1110 z5748 that 3754 euery where 3837 it is spoken against. 483 z5743

 28:23 And 1161 when they had appointed 5021 z5671 him 846 a day, 2250 there came 2240 z5707 many 4119 to 4314 him 846 into 1519 his lodging, 3578 to whom 3739 he expounded 1620 z5710 and testified 1263 z5740 the x3588 kingdome 932 of God, 2316 5037 perswading 3982 z5723 them 846 concerning 4012 Iesus, 2424 both 5037 out of 575 the x3588 law 3551 of Moses, 3475 and 2532 out of the x3588 Prophets, 4396 from 575 morning 4404 till 2193 euening. 2073

 28:24 And 2532 some 3303 x3588 beleeued 3982 z5712 the things which were spoken, 3004 z5746 and 1161 some x3588 beleeued not. 569 z5707

 28:25 And 1161 when they agreed not 800 5607 z5752 among 4314 themselues, 240 they departed, 630 z5710 after that Paul 3972 had spoken 2036 z5631 one 1520 word, 4487 y3754 Well 2573 spake 2980 z5656 the x3588 holy 40 Ghost 4151 by 1223 Esaias 2268 the x3588 Prophet, 4396 vnto 4314 our 2257 fathers, 3962

 28:26 Saying, 3004 z5723 Goe 4198 z5676 vnto 4314 this 5126 people, 2992 and 2532 say, 2036 z5628 Hearing 189 ye shall heare, 191 z5692 and 2532 shall y4920 z0 not 3364 vnderstand, 4920 z5655 and 2532 seeing 991 z5723 ye shall see, 991 z5692 and 2532 not 3364 perceiue. 1492 z5632

 28:27 For 1063 the x3588 heart 2588 of this 5127 people 2992 is waxed grosse, 3975 z5681 and 2532 their eares 3775 are dull y917 of hearing, 191 z5656 x917 and 2532 their y846 x848 eyes 3788 haue they closed, 2576 z5656 lest 3379 they should see 1492 z5632 with their eyes, 3788 and 2532 heare 191 z5661 with their eares, 3775 and 2532 vnderstand 4920 z5632 with their heart, 2588 and 2532 should bee conuerted, 1994 z5661 and 2532 I should heale 2390 z5667 them. 846

 28:28 Be x2077 it y2077 z5749 knowen 1110 therfore 3767 vnto you, 5213 that 3754 the x3588 saluation 4992 of God 2316 is sent 649 z5648 vnto the x3588 Gentiles, 1484 and 2532 that they x846 wil heare 191 z5695 it. y846

 28:29 And 2532 when hee 846 had saide 2036 z5631 these words, 5023 the x3588 Iewes 2453 departed, 565 z5627 and had 2192 z5723 great 4183 reasoning 4803 among 1722 themselues. 1438

 28:30 And 1161 Paul 3972 dwelt 3306 z5656 two y1333 z0 whole y3650 yeeres 1333 x3650 in 1722 his owne 2398 hired house, 3410 and 2532 receiued 588 z5711 all 3956 that came in 1531 z5740 z5734 vnto 4314 him, 846

 28:31 Preaching 2784 z5723 the x3588 kingdome 932 of God, 2316 and 2532 teaching 1321 z5723 those things x3588 which concerne 4012 the x3588 Lord 2962 Iesus 2424 Christ, 5547 with 3326 all 3956 confidence, 3954 no man forbidding him. 209
