Deeds (Act) of Apostles 28:4-8

⁴And when the heathen men of the isle saw the beast hanging in his hand, they said together, For this man is a manslayer; and when he escaped from the sea, God’s vengeance suffereth him not to live in (the) earth. (And when the Gentiles of that island saw the beast hanging on his hand, they said to each other, This man is a murderer; and although he escaped from the sea, God’s vengeance shall not allow him to live upon the earth.)

⁵But he shook away the beast into the fire, and had none harm, or and suffered nothing of evil, (or and was not harmed).

⁶And they guessed that he should be turned into swelling, and fall down suddenly, and die. But when they abided long, and saw that nothing of evil was done in him, they turned (to) them(selves) together, and said, that he was God (or a god).

⁷And in those places were manors or fields of the prince of the isle, Publius by name, which received us by three days benignly or with good will, and ‘found’ us.

⁸And it befell, that the father of Publius lay travailed with fevers and bloody flux (or dysentery). To whom Paul entered, and when he had prayed, and laid his hands on him, he healed him.
