Acts 28

1 And having been saved then (we found out *N+KO) that Malta the island is called;

And when we were escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita.

2 (And *N+kO) the natives were showing not [just] the ordinary kindness to us; (Having kindled *N+kO) for a fire they received all of us because of the rain which already coming on and because of the cold.

And the barbarians showed us no common kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

3 When having gathered now Paul of sticks (some *no) quantity and having laid [them] on the fire a viper (out from *N+kO) the heat having come fastened on the hand of him.

But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

4 When then saw the natives hanging the beast from the hand of him, to one another they were saying: By all means a murderer is man this, whom having been saved from the sea Justice to live not has permitted.

And when the barbarians saw the [venomous] creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live.

5 The [one] indeed then (having shaken off *NK+o) the creature into the fire he suffered no [thing] injurious.

Howbeit he shook off the creature into the fire, and took no harm.

6 But they were expecting him to be about to become inflamed or to fall down suddenly dead; A while great however when they are waiting and seeing nothing amiss to him happening (having changed their opinion *N+kO) they were declaringing him to be a god.

But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation and beheld nothing amiss come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

7 In now the [parts] around the place that [one] were lands [belonging] to the chief of the island, named Publius, who having received us three days hospitably entertained [us].

Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius; who received us, and entertained us three days courteously.

8 It came to pass then the father of Publius with fevers and (with dysentery *N+kO) oppressed [was] lying; to whom Paul having entered and having prayed, having laid the hands on him, healed him.

And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him.

9 Of this (then *N+kO) having taken place also the rest in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed;

And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured:

10 who also with many honors honored us, and on setting sail they laid on [us] the [things] for (the needs. *N+kO)

who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed.

11 After then three months (we set out *NK+o) in a ship having wintered in the island, Alexandrian, with a figurehead of [the] Dioscuri;

And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was The Twin Brothers.

12 And having put in at Syracuse we stayed days three,

And touching at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

13 from where (having taken off *N+KO) we arrived at Rhegium And after one day when was comong on a south wind on the second day we came to Puteoli;

And from thence we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli;

14 where having found [some] brothers we were entreated (with *N+kO) them to remain days seven; And so to Rome we came.

where we found brethren, and were entreated to tarry with them seven days: and so we came to Rome.

15 And from there And from there the brothers having heard the [things] concerning us (they came out *N+kO) to meet us as far as of Appius [the] market and [the] Three Taverns, whom having seen Paul having given thanks to God took courage.

And from thence the brethren, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

16 When now (we came *N+kO) to Rome, (the centurion delivered prisoners to the commanders *K) was allowed (Now *k) Paul to stay by himself with who is guarding him soldier.

And when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him.

17 It came to pass then after days three calling together (he *N+KO) those being of the Jews leaders; When they were assembling then they he was saying to them; I myself, men brothers no [thing] against having done the people or against the customs of our fathers, a prisoner from Jerusalem was delivered into the hands of the Romans,

And it came to pass, that after three days he called together those that were the chief of the Jews: and when they were come together, he said unto them, I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans:

18 who having examined me they were wanting to let [me] go on account of not one cause of death existing in me myself;

who, when they had examined me, desired to set me at liberty, because there was no cause of death in me.

19 When were objecting however the Jews I was compelled to appeal to Caesar not as if the nation of mine having anything (to lay against. *N+kO)

But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had aught whereof to accuse my nation.

20 For this therefore cause I have called you to see and to speak to [you]; because of for the hope of Israel chain this I have around [me].

For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with [me]: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

21 And to him they said; We ourselves neither letters concerning you received from Judea, nor having arrived any of the brothers reported or he said anything concerning you evil.

And they said unto him, We neither received letters from Judæa concerning thee, nor did any of the brethren come hither and report or speak any harm of thee.

22 We deem it worthy however from you to hear what you think; concerning truly for sect this known to us it is that everywhere it is spoken against.

But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.

23 Having appointed then to him a day (came *N+kO) to him to the lodging many, to whom he was expounding fully testifying to the kingdom of God, persuading then them concerning Jesus from both the law of Moses and the Prophets from morning to evening.

And when they had appointed him a day, they came to him into his lodging in great number; to whom he expounded [the matter], testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening.

24 And some indeed were persuaded by the [things] he is speaking, some however were disbelieving.

And some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

25 Discordant then being with one another they were leaving when was speaking Paul declaration one that Rightly the Spirit Holy spoke through Isaiah the prophet to the fathers (of you *N+KO)

And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet unto your fathers,

26 (he is saying: *N+kO) do go to people this and do say; In hearing you will hear and certainly not may understand, and in looking you will look and certainly not may perceive;

saying, Go thou unto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:

27 Has grown dull for the heart of the people this, and with the ears barely they hear and the eyes of them they have closed; otherwise otherwise they may see with the eyes and with the ears they may hear and with the heart they may understand and may turn and (I will heal *N+kO) them.’

For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.

28 Known therefore it should be to you that to the Gentiles has been sent (this *no) salvation of God, they themselves then will listen!

Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles: they will also hear.

29 (and these things of him saying they went away the Jews much having in themselves discussion. *K)

30 (He abided *N+kO) then (Paul *k) two years whole in his own rented house and was welcoming all those coming unto him

And he abode two whole years in his own hired dwelling, and received all that went in unto him,

31 proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching the [things] concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness unhinderedly.

preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, none forbidding him.
