Melita. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed: <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli: <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, 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 ought to accuse my nation of. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height =
