Acts 28 (kjv)

And^G2532 when they were escaped^G1295, then^G5119 they knew^G1921 that^G3754 the island^G3520 was called^G2564 Melita^G3194.²And^G1161 the barbarous people^G915 shewed^G3930 us^G2254 no^G3756 little^G5177 kindness^G5363: for^G1063 they kindled^G381 a fire^G4443, and received^G4355 us^G2248 every one^G3956, because^G1223 of the present^G2186 rain^G5205, and^G2532 because^G1223 of the cold^G5592.³And^G1161 when Paul^G3972 had gathered^G4962 a bundle^G4128 of sticks^G5434, and^G2532 laid^G2007 them on^G1909 the fire^G4443, there came^G1831 a viper^G2191 out of^G1537 the heat^G2329, and fastened on^G2510 his^G846 hand^G5495.⁴And^G1161 when^G5613 the barbarians^G915 saw^G1492 the venomous beast^G2342 hang^G2910 on^G1537 his^G846 hand^G5495, they said^G3004 among^G4314 themselves^G240, No doubt^G3843 this^G3778 man^G444 is^G2076 a murderer^G5406, whom^G3739, though he hath escaped^{G1295 G1537} the sea^G2281, yet vengeance^G1349 suffereth^G1439 not^G3756 to live^G2198.⁵And^{G3303 G3767} he shook off^G660 the beast^G2342 into^G1519 the fire^G4442, and felt^G3958 no^G3762 harm^G2556.⁶Howbeit^G1161 they looked^G4328 when he^G846 should^G3195 have swollen^G4092, or^G2228 fallen down^G2667 dead^G3498 suddenly^G869: but^G1161 after they^G846 had looked^G4328 a great while^{G1909 G4183}, and^G2532 saw^G2334 no^G3367 harm^G824 come^G1096 to^G1519 him^G846, they changed their minds^G3328, and said^G3004 that he^G846 was^G1511 a god^G2316.^7G1161 In^{G1722 G4012} the same^G1565 quarters^G5117 were^G5225 possessions^G5564 of the chief man^G4413 of the island^G3520, whose name was^G3686 Publius^G4196; who^G3739 received^G324 us^G2248, and lodged us^G3579 three^G5140 days^G2250 courteously^G5390.⁸And^G1161 it came to pass^G1096, that the father^G3962 of Publius^G4196 lay^G2621 sick of^G4912 a fever^G4446 and^G2532 of a bloody flux^G1420: to^G4314 whom^G3739 Paul^G3972 entered in^G1525, and^G2532 prayed^G4336, and laid^G2007 his hands^G5495 on^G2007 him^G846, and healed^G2390 him^G846.⁹So^G3767 when^G1096 this^G5127 was done^G1096, others^G3062 also^G2532, which^G3588 had^G2192 diseases^G769 in^G1722 the island^G3520, came^G4334, and^G2532 were healed^G2323:¹⁰Who^G3739 also^G2532 honoured^G5092 us^G2248 with many^G4183 honours^G5091; and^G2532 when we departed^G321, they laded^G2007 us with such things as^G4314 were necessary^G5532.¹¹And^G1161 after^G3326 three^G5140 months^G3376 we departed^G321 in^G1722 a ship^G4143 of Alexandria^G222, which had wintered^G3914 in^G1722 the isle^G3520, whose sign^G3902 was Castor and Pollux^G1359.¹²And^G2532 landing^G2609 at^G1519 Syracuse^G4946, we tarried^G1961 there three^G5140 days^G2250.¹³And from thence^G3606 we fetched a compass^G4022, and came^G2658 to^G1519 Rhegium^G4484: and^G2532 after^G3326 one^G3391 day^G2250 the south wind^G3558 blew^G1920, and we came^G2064 the next day^G1206 to^G1519 Puteoli^G4223:¹⁴Where^G3757 we found^G2147 brethren^G80, and were desired^G3870 to tarry^G1961 with^G1909 them^G846 seven^G2033 days^G2250: and^G2532 so^G3779 we went^G2064 toward^G1519 Rome^G4516.¹⁵And from thence^G2547, when the brethren^G80 heard^G191 of^G4012 us^G2257, they came^G1831 to meet^{G529 G1519} us^G2254 as far as^G891 Appii^G675 forum^G5410, and^G2532 The three^G5140 taverns^G4999: whom^G3739 when Paul^G3972 saw^G1492, he thanked^G2168 God^G2316, and took^G2983 courage^G2294.¹⁶And^G1161 when^G3753 we came^G2064 to^G1519 Rome^G4516, the centurion^G1543 delivered^G3860 the prisoners^G1198 to the captain of the guard^G4759: but^G1161 Paul^G3972 was suffered^G2010 to dwell^G3306 by^G2596 himself^G1438 with^G4862 a soldier^G4757 that kept^G5442 him^G846.¹⁷And^G1161 it came to pass^G1096, that after^G3326 three^G5140 days^G2250 Paul^G3972 called^G4779 the chief^{G4413 G5607} of the Jews^G2453 together^G4779: and^G1161 when they^G846 were come together^G4905, he said^G3004 unto^G4314 them^G846, Men^G435 and brethren^G80, though I^G1473 have committed^G4160 nothing^G3762 against^G1727 the people^G2992, or^G2228 customs^G1485 of our fathers^G3971, yet was I delivered^G3860 prisoner^G1198 from^G1537 Jerusalem^G2414 into^G1519 the hands^G5495 of the Romans^G4514.¹⁸Who^G3748, when they had examined^G350 me^G3165, would^G1014 have let me go^G630, because^G1223 there was^G5225 no^G3367 cause^G156 of death^G2288 in^G1722 me^G1698.¹⁹But^G1161 when the Jews^G2453 spake against^G483 it, I was constrained^G315 to appeal^G1941 unto Caesar^G2541; not^G3756 that^G5613 I had^G2192 ought^G5100 to accuse^G2723 my^G3450 nation^G1484 of^G2723.²⁰For^G1223 this^G5026 cause^G156 therefore^G3767 have I called^G3870 for you^G5209, to see^G1492 you, and^G2532 to speak with^G4354 you: because that^G1752 for^G1063 the hope^G1680 of Israel^G2474 I am bound with^G4029 this^G5026 chain^G254.²¹And^G1161 they said^G2036 unto^G4314 him^G846, We^G2249 neither^G3777 received^G1209 letters^G1121 out of^G575 Judaea^G2449 concerning^G4012 thee^G4675, neither^G3777 any^G5100 of the brethren^G80 that came^G3854 shewed^G518 or^G2228 spake^G2980 any^G5100 harm^G4190 of^G4012 thee^G4675.²²But^G1161 we desire^G515 to hear^G191 of^G3844 thee^G4675 what^G3739 thou thinkest^G5426: for^G1063 as concerning^{G4012 G3303} this^G5026 sect^G139, we^G2254 know^{G2076 G1110} that^G3754 every where^G3837 it is spoken against^G483.²³And^G1161 when they had appointed^G5021 him^G846 a day^G2250, there came^G2240 many^G4119 to^G4314 him^G846 into^G1519 his lodging^G3578; to whom^G3739 he expounded^G1620 and testified^G1263 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316,^G5037 persuading^G3982 them^G846 concerning^G4012 Jesus^G2424, both^G5037 out of^G575 the law^G3551 of Moses^G3475, and^G2532 out of the prophets^G4396, from^G575 morning^G4404 till^G2193 evening^G2073.²⁴And^G2532 some^G3303 believed^G3982 the things which were spoken^G3004, and^G1161 some believed not^G569.²⁵And^G1161 when they agreed not^{G800 G5607} among^G4314 themselves^G240, they departed^G630, after that Paul^G3972 had spoken^G2036 one^G1520 word^G4487,^G3754 Well^G2573 spake^G2980 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 by^G1223 Esaias^G2268 the prophet^G4396 unto^G4314 our^G2257 fathers^G3962,²⁶Saying^G3004, Go^G4198 unto^G4314 this^G5126 people^G2992, and^G2532 say^G2036, Hearing^G189 ye shall hear^G191, and^G2532 shall^G4920 not^G3364 understand^G4920; and^G2532 seeing^G991 ye shall see^G991, and^G2532 not^G3364 perceive^G1492:²⁷For^G1063 the heart^G2588 of this^G5127 people^G2992 is waxed gross^G3975, and^G2532 their ears^G3775 are dull^G917 of hearing^G191, and^G2532 their^G846 eyes^G3788 have they closed^G2576; lest^G3379 they should see^G1492 with their eyes^G3788, and^G2532 hear^G191 with their ears^G3775, and^G2532 understand^G4920 with their heart^G2588, and^G2532 should be converted^G1994, and^G2532 I should heal^G2390 them^G846.²⁸Be it^G2077 known^G1110 therefore^G3767 unto you^G5213, that^G3754 the salvation^G4992 of God^G2316 is sent^G649 unto the Gentiles^G1484, and^G2532 that they will hear^G191 it^G846.²⁹And^G2532 when he^G846 had said^G2036 these words^G5023, the Jews^G2453 departed^G565, and had^G2192 great^G4183 reasoning^G4803 among^G1722 themselves^G1438.³⁰And^G1161 Paul^G3972 dwelt^G3306 two^G1333 whole^G3650 years^G1333 in^G1722 his own^G2398 hired house^G3410, and^G2532 received^G588 all^G3956 that came in^G1531 unto^G4314 him^G846,³¹Preaching^G2784 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, and^G2532 teaching^G1321 those things which concern^G4012 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, with^G3326 all^G3956 confidence^G3954, no man forbidding him^G209.
