⮜ Acts 27 | Romans 2 ⮞

1 When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta. Acts 28:1WEB
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. Acts 28:2WEB
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. Acts 28:3WEB
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.” Acts 28:4WEB
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed. Acts 28:5WEB
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. Acts 28:6WEB
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. Acts 28:7WEB
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. Acts 28:8WEB
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured. Acts 28:9WEB
10 They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed. Acts 28:10WEB
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.” Acts 28:11WEB
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days. Acts 28:12WEB
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, Acts 28:13WEB
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome. Acts 28:14WEB
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. Acts 28:15WEB
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. Acts 28:16WEB
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, Acts 28:17WEB
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me. Acts 28:18WEB
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. Acts 28:19WEB
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.” Acts 28:20WEB
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. Acts 28:21WEB
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.” Acts 28:22WEB
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. Acts 28:23WEB
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved. Acts 28:24WEB
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, Acts 28:25WEB
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. Acts 28:26WEB
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.’ Acts 28:27WEB
28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.” Acts 28:28WEB
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves. Acts 28:29WEB
30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him, Acts 28:30WEB
31 preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance. Acts 28:31WEB
