Melita. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> And the barbarians showed us no common kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> And when the barbarians saw the `venomous&#8217; creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> Howbeit he shook off the creature into the fire, and took no harm. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation and beheld nothing amiss came to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and entertained us three days courteously. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured: <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was The Twin Brothers. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> And touching at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> And from thence we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli; <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> where we found brethren, and were entreated to tarry with them seven days: and so we came to Rome. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> And from thence the brethren, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> And when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> And it came to pass, that after three days he called together those that were the chief of the Jews: and when they were come together, he said unto them, I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans: <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> who, when they had examined me, desired to set me at liberty, because there was no cause of death in me. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had aught whereof to accuse my nation. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with `me&#8217;: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> And they said unto him, We neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor did any of the brethren come hither and report or speak any harm of thee. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And when they had appointed him a day, they came to him into his lodging in great number; to whom he expounded `the matter,&#8217; testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> And some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet unto your fathers, <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> saying, Go thou unto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> For this people&#8217;s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest, haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles: they will also hear. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> `And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having much disputing among themselves.&#8217; <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> And he abode two whole years in his own hired dwelling, and received all that went in unto him, <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, none forbidding him. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n
