2 | 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. | H · G · S barbarous people |
3 | 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. | H · G · S bundle of sticks |
4 | 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. | H · G · S |
5 | And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. | H · G · S felt no harm |
6 | Howbeit they looked when he
should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had

minds, and said that he was a god.

7 | 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. | H · G · S |
8 | 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. | H · G · S |
9 | So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed: | H · G · S were healed |

Paul Witnesses to the Jewish Leaders in Rome17-29 |
||
17 | 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. | H · G · S |
18 | Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me. | H · G · S |
19 | But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of. | H · G · S |
20 | 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. | H · G · S |
21 | 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. | H · G · S |
22 | But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. | H · G · S |
23 | 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. | H · G · S into his lodging the prophets |
24 | And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. | H · G · S some believed |
25 | 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, | H · G · S Esaias the prophet |
26 | Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: | H · G · S 6I9,10 M1314,15 K412 L810 J1240 |
27 | 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. | H · G · S |
28 | Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. | H · G · S unto the Gentiles they will hear |
29 | And when
he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning
among themselves.

30 | And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, | H · G · S two whole years |
31 | Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. | H · G · S |
