ABP - Acts - 28

28:1  And having come through safe, then they knew that [4Malta 1the 2island 3is called].

28:2  And the barbarians furnished no chance humane treatment to us; for having lit a bonfire, they took [3unto themselves 1all 2of us], because of the rain attending, and because of the chilliness.

28:3  [3bundled up 1And 2Paul 5of sticks 4a multitude], and having placed them on the bonfire, a viper [2from 3the 4heat 1having gone completely through], clinched onto his hand.

28:4  And when [3beheld 1the 2barbarians 6hanging 4the 5beast] from his hand, they said to one another, Assuredly [2is a murderer 1this man], whom having been delivered from the sea, Dice [2to live 1allowed not].

28:5  He indeed then, having brushed off the beast into the fire, suffered no hurt.

28:6  And the ones expecting him to be about to become inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead, [2for 3a long time 1and] of their expecting and viewing nothing out of place [2to 3him 1was happening], changing their minds, they said [3a god 1him 2to be].

28:7  And in the parts around that place existed a place belonging to the foremost man of the island, by name Publius, who having received us, three days obligingly lodged us.

28:8  And it happened the father of Publius [3with fevers 4and 5dysentery 2constrained 1reclined]; to whom Paul having entered, and having prayed, having placed the hands on him, healed him.

28:9  This then having taken place, also the rest -- the ones having sicknesses in the island came forward, and were cured;

28:10  the ones who also with much honor esteemed us, and embarking, placed the things for our need.

28:11  And after three months we embarked in a boat, having passed the winter in the island, an Alexandrian marked by the ensign Dioscuri.

28:12  And leading down unto Syracuse, we remained [2days 1three].

28:13  From where having gone around we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day [2ensued 1a south wind]; on the second day we came into Puteoli;

28:14  where having found brethren we were appealed upon by them to remain [2days 1seven]; and thus to Rome we came.

28:15  And from there the brethren having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Three Taverns; whom Paul seeing, having given thanks to God, he took courage.

28:16  And when we came unto Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the commander of the camp. But to Paul was committed to remain by himself with the [2guarding 3him 1soldier].

28:17  And it came to pass after [2days 1three] [2calling together 1Paul] the ones being [2of the 3Jews 1foremost], [3having come together 1and 2they], he said to them, Men, brethren, I [2nothing 3against 1having done] the people or the [2customs 1paternal], [2a prisoner 3from 4Jerusalem 1was delivered up] into the hands of the Romans.

28:18  Who having questioned me, wanted to loose me, on account of the not one reason for death being in me.

28:19  [4disputing 1But 2the 3Jews], I was compelled to call upon Caesar; not as [4my nation 1having 2anything 3to accuse].

28:20  For this reason then I appealed to you, to see and to speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel [2with this chain 1I am encompassed].

28:21  And they [2to 3him 1said], We [2neither 3letters 4concerning 5you 1received] from Judea, nor having come has any one of the brethren reported or spoke anything [2concerning 3you 1bad].

28:22  But we deem it worthy [2from 3you 1to hear] what you think; for indeed concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.

28:23  And arranging for him a day, there came to him [2unto 3his guest room 1many more]; to whom he expounded testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them the things concerning Jesus, from both the law of Moses and of the prophets, from morning until evening.

28:24  And some indeed were persuaded to the things being said, and some disbelieved.

28:25  And disharmony being with one another, they retired at [2having spoken 1Paul 4discourse 3one], that, Well the [2spirit 1holy] spoke through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

28:26  saying, Go to this people! and say, In hearing you shall hear, and in no way should you perceive; and seeing you shall see, and in no way should you know.

28:27  [5was thickened 1For 2the 3heart 4of this people], and [3with the 4ears 2heavily 1they heard], and [2of their eyes 1they closed the eyelids]; lest at any time they should see with the eyes, and [2with the 3ears 1should hear], and with the heart should perceive, and should turn, and I should heal them.

28:28  [2known 3then 1Let it be] to you! that to the nations [4was sent 1the 2deliverance 3of God], and they will hearken.

28:29  And these things he having said, [3went forth 1the 2Jews 5much 4having 7among 8themselves 6debating].

28:30  [3stayed 1And 2Paul 5space of two years 4a whole] in his own hired house, and gladly received all the ones entering to him,

28:31  proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence unrestrainedly.
