Acts 28

1 When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.

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

2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.

(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.

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

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.

4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”

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.

5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.

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

6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

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.

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

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].

8 The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.

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.

9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.

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

10 They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.

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

11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”

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

12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.

And having put in at Syracuse we stayed days three,

13 From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,

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;

14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.

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

15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.

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.

16 When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

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.

17 After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

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,

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

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

19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.

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)

20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”

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].

21 They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.

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.

22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”

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.

23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.

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.

24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

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

25 When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

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)

26 saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.

(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;

27 For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’

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.’

28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”

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

29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.

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

30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
