Once we had escaped, we learned that the island was called Melita. The local people showed us unusual kindness. They lit a fire and welcomed us all because of the rain and cold. Paul gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire. A viper came out because of the heat and fastened onto his hand. When the local people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to each other, "No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he escaped the sea, vengeance will not let him live." Paul shook the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. They expected him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. After watching a long time and seeing nothing happen, they changed their minds and said he was a god. In the same quarters were lands of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius. He took us in and put us up three days courteously. Publius's father lay sick with fever and dysentery. Paul went in, prayed, laid his hands on him and healed him. So when this was done, others too who had diseases in the island came and were healed. They also honoured us with many honours. And when we left, they loaded us with the things we needed.
And when they'd got away, then they knew the island was called Melita. And the rough people showed us no little kindness. Because they lit a fire and took us all in, because of the rain then and because of the cold. And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a snake came out of the heat and fastened on his hand. And when the rough people saw the animal hang on his hand, they said among themselves: No doubt this man is a murderer, who though he's got away from the sea, justice won't let live. And he shook off the animal into the fire and felt no harm. But they watched when he'd have swelled or fallen down dead suddenly. But after they'd looked a great while and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds: He's a god. In the same quarters were lands of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius. Who took us in and put us up three days courteously. And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of dysentery. Paul went in to him and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him. So when this was done, others too who had diseases in the island came and were healed. Who honoured us too with plenty of honours. And when we left, they loaded us with the things we needed.
And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously. And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him. So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed: Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

On to Rome
After three months we left in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. And landing at Syracuse, we stayed there three days. And from there we made a circuit and came to Rhegium. And after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli. Where we found brothers and were asked to stay with them seven days. And so we went towards Rome. When the brothers in Rome heard about us, they came as far as Appii forum and The three taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage. When we came to Rome, the centurion handed over the prisoners to the captain of the guard. But Paul was allowed to stay by himself with a soldier who kept him.

Paul in Rome
It happened that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together. And when they'd come together, he said to them: Men and brothers, though I've done nothing against the people or ways of our fathers, still I was handed over prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. After examining me, they would have released me because there was no cause of death in me. When the Jews spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar — not that I had anything to charge my nation with. For this reason then I've called for you, to see you and to speak with you. Because for the hope of Israel I'm bound with this chain. They said, "We received no letters from Judaea about you, and none of the brothers who arrived reported or spoke any harm about you. But we want to hear from you what you think. Because about this sect, we know that everywhere it's spoken against. They appointed a day and many came to Paul's lodging. From morning until evening he explained and testified about the kingdom of God, persuading them about Jesus from both the law of Moses and the prophets. And some believed the things spoken, and some didn't believe. When they could not agree among themselves, they left after Paul said one final word: "Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Esaias the prophet to our fathers, And say: Go to this people and say: Hearing you'll hear and won't understand. And seeing you'll see and will not perceive. For the heart of this people has grown fat, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they've closed — in case they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and be turned, and I should heal them. "So let it be known to you that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it." When he'd said these words, the Jews left and argued a lot among themselves. Paul lived two full years in his own hired house and welcomed everyone who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things about the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

And some believed the things spoken, and some didn't believe. And when they didn't agree among themselves, they went off after Paul had spoken one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak by Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, and say: Go to this people and say: Hearing you'll hear and won't understand.

Because the heart of this people has grown fat, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they've closed — in case they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and be turned, and I should heal them.

And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me. But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of. For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain. And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee. But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
