Chap. XXVIII.
After their shipvvracke hauing vvintered in the Iland (novv named Malta) vvhere
many miracles vvere vvrought by Paul, they take ship againe, and so by Sicile
they come to Puteoli in Italie, the Christian Romans comming a great vvay to
meete him, to his great ioy. 16 Finally being come to Rome, in his lodging he declareth
to the Iewes his cause, 23 and on a day appointed preacheth Iesvs vnto
them. note 25 And seeing their incredulitie, he shevveth hovv it vvas foretold by
Esay: 28 but that the Gentils vvil not be incredulous. 30 To vvhom he there
preacheth tvvo vvhole yeres vvithout prohibition.
1 And vvhen vve had escaped, then vve knevv
that the note iland vvas called note Mityléne. But the
Barbarous shevved vs no smal courtesie.
2 For,
kindling a fire they refreshed vs al, because
of the imminent raine and the colde.
3 And
vvhen Paul had gathered together some number of stickes,
and had laide them on the fire, a viper issuing out of the
heate, inuaded his hand.
4 But as the Barbarous savv the
beast hanging on his hand, they said one to an other, Vndoubtedly
this man is a murderer, vvho being escaped out of the
sea, note Vengeance doth not suffer him to liue.
5 And he in
deede09Q0943 shaking of the beast into the fire, suffred no harme.
6 But they supposed that he should be turned into a svvelling,
and that he vvould sodenly fall and die. But expecting
long and seeing that there vvas no harme done on him, being
changed they said, that he vvas a God.
7 And in those places
vvere lands of the prince of the ile, named Publius, vvho
-- --
receiuing vs, for three daies intreated vs courteously.
8 And
it chaunced that the father of Publius lay vexed vvith feuers
and the bloudy flixe. Vnto vvhom Paul entred: and vvhen
he had praied, and imposed hands on him, he healed him.
9 Vvhich being done, al in the ile also that had infirmities,
came, and vvere cured:
10 vvho also honoured vs vvith many
honours, and vvhen vve vvere sailing avvay, laded vs
vvith necessaries.
11 And after three moneths, vve sailed in a ship of Alexandria,
that had vvintered in the iland, vvhose signe vvas the
Castors.
12 And vvhen vve vvere come to Syracusa, vve taried
there three daies.
13 Thence compassing by the shore,
vve came to Rhegium: and after one day the Southvvinde
blovving, vve came the second day to Puteoli,
14 vvhere
finding brethren, vve vvere desired to tarie vvith them seuen
daies: and so vve came to Rome.
15 And from thence, vvhen
the brethren had heard, they came to meete vs vnto Apij-forum,
and the Three-tauerns. Vvhom vvhen Paul had seen, giuing
thanks to God, he tooke courage.
16 And vvhen vve vvere
come to Rome, Paul vvas permitted to remaine to him self
vvith a souldiar that kept him.
17 And after the third day
he called together the cheefe of the Ievves. And vvhen they
vvere assembled, he said to them,
17 Men brethren, I doing nothing against the people, or
the custome of the fathers, vvas deliuered prisoner from Hierusalem
into the hands of the Romanes,
18 vvho vvhen they
had examined me, vvould haue released me, for that there
vvas no cause of death in me.
19 But the Ievves contradicting
it, I vvas compelled to appeale vnto Cæsar, not as hauing any
thing to accuse my nation.
20 For this cause therfore I desired
to see you and to speake to you. for, because of the hope of
Israël, am I compassed vvith this09Q0944 chaine.
21 But they said to him, Vve neither receiued letters concerning
thee from Ievvrie, neither did any of the brethren
that came hither, report or speake any euil of thee.
22 But vve
desire of thee to heare vvhat thou thinkest: for09Q0945 concerning
this note secte, it is knovv&ebar; to vs that it is gainesaid euery vvhere.
23 And vvhen they had appointed him a day, they came to
him vnto his lodging very many: to vvhom he expounded,
testifying the kingdom of God, and vsing persuasion to them
-- --
of Iesvs out of the lavv of Moyses and the Prophets, from
morning vntil euening.
24 And certaine beleeued those things
that vvere said: but certaine beleeued not.
25 And vvhereas
they did not agree among them selues, they departed, Paul
saying one vvord: That vvel did the holy Ghost speake by
Esaie the prophet to our fathers,
26 saying, Goe to this people, and
say to them, Vvith the eare you shal heare, and shal not vnderstand: and
seeing you shal see, and shal not perceiue.
27 For the hart of this people is
vvaxen grosse, and vvith their eares haue they heauily heard, and their eies
note they haue shut: lest perhaps they may see vvith their eies, and heare vvith
their eares, and vnderstand vvith their hart, and be conuerted, and I heale
them.
28 Be it knovven therfore to you, that this Saluation of
God is sent to the Gentiles, and they vvil heare.
29 And vvhen he had said these things, the Ievves vvent
out from him, hauing much questioning among them selues.
30 And he taried ful tvvo yeres in his hired lodging: and he
receiued al that came into him,
31 preaching the kingdom of
God, and teaching the things that concerne our Lord Iesvs
Christ vvith al confidence, vvithout prohibition.
