Deeds (Act) of Apostles 28:6-19

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 them together, and said, that he was 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. To whom Paul entered, and when he had prayed, and laid his hands on him, he healed him.

⁹And when this thing was done, all that in the isle had sicknesses came, and were healed or cured.

¹⁰Which also honoured us with many worships, and putted what things were necessary to us, when we shipped.

¹¹And after three months we shipped in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the isle, to which was an excellent sign of Castor.

¹²And when we came to Syracuse, we dwelled there three days.

¹³From thence we sailed about, and came to Rhegium; and after one day, while the south blew, in the second day we came to Puteoli.

¹⁴Where when we found brethren, we were prayed to dwell there with them seven days. And so we came to Rome.

¹⁵And from thence, when brethren had heard, they came to us to the chapping of Appii, and to the Three Taverns. And when Paul had seen them, he did thankings to God, and took trust.

¹⁶And when we came to Rome, it was suffered to Paul to dwell by himself, with a knight keeping him.

¹⁷And after the third day, he called together the worthiest of the Jews. And when they came, he said to them, Brethren, I did nothing against the people either custom of fathers, and I was bound at Jerusalem, and was betaken into the hands of Romans.

¹⁸And when they had asked of me, would have delivered me, for that no cause of death was in me.

¹⁹But for the Jews gainsaid, I was constrained to appeal to the emperor or to Caesar; not as having anything to accuse my people.
