1. And being saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita.
|
1. And G2532 when they were escaped G1295 , then G5119 they knew G1921 that G3754 the G3588 island G3520 was called G2564 Melita G3194 .
|
|
2. And the foreigners were showing not the common kindness to us, for having kindled a fire because of the rain coming on, and because of the cold, they welcomed us all.
|
2. And G1161 the G3588 barbarous people G915 showed G3930 us G2254 no G3756 little G5177 kindness G5363 : for G1063 they kindled G381 a fire G4443 , and received G4355 us G2248 every one G3956 , because G1223 of the G3588 present G2186 rain G5205 , and G2532 because G1223 of the G3588 cold G5592 .
|
|
3. And Paul gathering a bunch of sticks, and putting them on the fire, a snake coming out from the heat fastened on his hand.
|
3. And G1161 when Paul G3972 had gathered G4962 a bundle G4128 of sticks G5434 , and G2532 laid G2007 them on G1909 the G3588 fire G4443 , there came G1831 a viper G2191 out of G1537 the G3588 heat G2329 , and fastened G2510 on his G848 hand G5495 .
|
|
4. And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, By all means this man is a murderer, whom being saved out of the sea, Justice did not permit to live.
|
4. And G1161 when G5613 the G3588 barbarians G915 saw G1492 the G3588 venomous beast G2342 hang G2910 on G1537 his G848 hand G5495 , they said G3004 among G4314 themselves G240 , No doubt G3843 this G3778 man G444 is G2076 a murderer G5406 , whom G3739 , though he hath escaped G1295 the G3588 sea G2281 , yet vengeance G1349 suffereth G1439 not G3756 to live G2198 .
|
|
5. Then he indeed shaking the beast off into the fire, he suffered no harm.
|
5. And G3767 he G3588 G3303 shook off G660 the G3588 beast G2342 into G1519 the G3588 fire G4442 , and felt G3958 no G3762 harm G2556 .
|
|
6. But they expected him to be about to become inflamed, or suddenly to fall down dead. But over much time, they expecting and seeing nothing amiss happening to him, changing their minds, they said him to be a god.
|
6. Howbeit G1161 they G3588 looked G4328 when he G846 should G3195 have swollen G4092 , or G2228 fallen down G2667 dead G3498 suddenly G869 : but G1161 after they G846 had looked G4328 a great while G1909 G4183 , and G2532 saw G2334 no harm G3367 G824 come G1096 to G1519 him G846 , they changed their minds G3328 , and said G3004 that he G846 was G1511 a god G2316 .
|
|
7. And in the parts about that place were lands to the chief of the island, Publius by name. Welcoming us, he housed us three days in a friendly way.
|
7. G1161 In G1722 the G3588 same quarters G4012 G1565 G5117 were G5225 possessions G5564 of the G3588 chief man G4413 of the G3588 island G3520 , whose name G3686 was Publius G4196 ; who G3739 received G324 us G2248 , and lodged G3579 us three G5140 days G2250 courteously G5390 .
|
|
8. And it happened the father of Publius was lying down, suffering from fevers and dysentery; to whom Paul, entering and praying, laying on his hands, cured him.
|
8. And G1161 it came to pass G1096 , that the G3588 father G3962 of Publius G4196 lay G2621 sick G4912 of a fever G4446 and G2532 of a bloody flux G1420 : to G4314 whom G3739 Paul G3972 entered in G1525 , and G2532 prayed G4336 , and laid G2007 his hands G5495 on him G846 , and healed G2390 him G846 .
|
|
9. Then, this taking place, the ones in the island having infirmities also came up, and they were healed.
|
9. So G3767 when this G5127 was done G1096 , others G3062 also G2532 , which had G2192 diseases G769 in G1722 the G3588 island G3520 , came G4334 , and G2532 were healed G2323 :
|
|
10. They also honored us with many honors. And on our setting sail, they lay on us such things as were needed.
|
10. Who G3739 also G2532 honored G5092 us G2248 with many G4183 honors G5091 ; and G2532 when we departed G321 , they laded G2007 us with such things as were necessary G4314 G5532 .
|
|
11. And after three months we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian with an ensign, Twin Brothers.
|
11. And G1161 after G3326 three G5140 months G3376 we departed G321 in G1722 a ship G4143 of Alexandria G222 , which had wintered G3914 in G1722 the G3588 isle G3520 , whose sign G3902 was Castor and Pollux G1359 .
|
|
12. And landing at Syracuse, we remained three days.
|
12. And G2532 landing G2609 at G1519 Syracuse G4946 , we tarried G1961 there three G5140 days G2250 .
|
|
13. Going around from there, we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, a south wind having come on, on the second we came to Puteoli,
|
13. And from thence G3606 we fetched a compass G4022 , and came G2658 to G1519 Rhegium G4484 : and G2532 after G3326 one G3391 day G2250 the south wind G3558 blew G1920 , and we came G2064 the next day G1206 to G1519 Puteoli G4223 :
|
|
14. where finding brothers, we were begged by them to remain seven days. And so we went toward Rome.
|
14. Where G3757 we found G2147 brethren G80 , and were desired G3870 to tarry G1961 with G1909 them G846 seven G2033 days G2250 : and G2532 so G3779 we went G2064 toward G1519 Rome G4516 .
|
|
15. And the brothers from there hearing about us, they came out to meet us, as far as the marketplace of Appius, and Three Taverns; whom Paul seeing, thanking God, he took courage.
|
15. And from thence G2547 , when the G3588 brethren G80 heard G191 of G4012 us G2257 , they came G1831 to G1519 meet G529 us G2254 as far as G891 Appii G675 Forum G5410 , and G2532 The Three G5140 Taverns G4999 : whom G3739 when Paul G3972 saw G1492 , he thanked G2168 God G2316 , and took G2983 courage G2294 .
|
|
16. And when we went into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the camp commander. But Paul was allowed to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
|
16. And G1161 when G3753 we came G2064 to G1519 Rome G4516 , the G3588 centurion G1543 delivered G3860 the G3588 prisoners G1198 to the G3588 captain of the guard G4759 : but G1161 Paul G3972 was suffered G2010 to dwell G3306 by G2596 himself G1438 with G4862 a soldier G4757 that kept G5442 him G846 .
|
|
17. And after three days, it happened that Paul called together those being chief of the Jews. And they coming together, he said to them, Men, brothers, I did nothing contrary to the people, or to the ancestral customs. I was delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
|
17. And G1161 it came to pass G1096 , that after G3326 three G5140 days G2250 Paul G3972 called the chief of the Jews together G4779 G3588 G5607 G4413 G3588 G2453 : and G1161 when they G848 were come together G4905 , he said G3004 unto G4314 them G846 , Men G435 and brethren G80 , though I G1473 have committed G4160 nothing G3762 against G1727 the G3588 people G2992 , or G2228 customs G1485 of our fathers G3971 , yet was I delivered G3860 prisoner G1198 from G1537 Jerusalem G2414 into G1519 the G3588 hands G5495 of the G3588 Romans G4514 .
|
|
18. who examining me were of a mind to let me go, because no cause of death was in me.
|
18. Who G3748 , when they had examined G350 me G3165 , would G1014 have let me go G630 , because there was G5225 no G3367 cause G156 of death G2288 in G1722 me G1698 .
|
|
19. But the Jews speaking against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation.
|
19. But G1161 when the G3588 Jews G2453 spake against G483 it, I was constrained G315 to appeal unto G1941 Caesar G2541 ; not G3756 that G5613 I had G2192 aught G5100 to accuse G2723 my G3450 nation G1484 of.
|
|
20. On account of this, then, I called for you, to see and to speak to you. For I have this chain around me for the sake of the hope of Israel.
|
20. For G1223 this G5026 cause G156 therefore G3767 have I called G3870 for you G5209 , to see G1492 you, and G2532 to speak with G4354 you : because G1752 that for G1063 the G3588 hope G1680 of Israel G2474 I am bound G4029 with this G5026 chain G254 .
|
|
21. And they said to him, We neither received letters concerning you from the Jews, nor having arrived has any one of the brothers reported or spoken anything evil concerning you.
|
21. And G1161 they G3588 said G2036 unto G4314 him G846 , We G2249 neither G3777 received G1209 letters G1121 out of G575 Judea G2449 concerning G4012 thee G4675 , neither G3777 any G5100 of the G3588 brethren G80 that came G3854 showed G518 or G2228 spake G2980 any G5100 harm G4190 of G4012 thee G4675 .
|
|
22. But we think it fit to hear from you as to what you think, for truly as concerning this sect, it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere.
|
22. But G1161 we desire G515 to hear G191 of G3844 thee G4675 what G3739 thou thinkest G5426 : for G1063 as G3303 concerning G4012 this G5026 sect G139 , we G2254 know G2076 G1110 that G3754 every where G3837 it is spoken against G483 .
|
|
23. And having appointed him a day, more came to him in the lodging, to whom he expounded, earnestly testifying the kingdom of God and persuading them the things concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning until evening.
|
23.

|
|
24. And some indeed were persuaded by that being said, others disbelieved.
|
24. And G2532 some G3588 G3303 believed G3982 the things which were spoken G3004 , and G1161 some G3588 believed not G569 .
|
|
25. And disagreeing with one another, they were let go, Paul saying one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak through the prophet Isaiah to our fathers,
|
25. And G1161 when they agreed not G5607 G800 among G4314 themselves G240 , they departed G630 , after that Paul G3972 had spoken G2036 one G1520 word G4487 , Well G2573 spake G2980 the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost G4151 by G1223 Isaiah G2268 the G3588 prophet G4396 unto G4314 our G2257 fathers G3962 ,
|
|
26. saying, "Go to this people and say, You will surely hear, and not at all understand; and you will surely see, and not at all perceive;
|
26. Saying G3004 , Go G4198 unto G4314 this G5126 people G2992 , and G2532 say G2036 , Hearing G189 ye shall hear G191 , and G2532 shall not G3364 understand G4920 ; and G2532 seeing G991 ye shall see G991 , and G2532 not G3364 perceive G1492 :
|
|
27. for the heart of this people was fattened, and they have heard with the ears heavily; and they closed their eyes lest at any time they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." Isa. 6:9, 10
|
27. For G1063 the G3588 heart G2588 of this G5127 people G2992 is waxed gross G3975 , and G2532 their ears G3775 are dull of hearing G191 G917 , and G2532 their G848 eyes G3788 have they closed G2576 ; lest G3379 they should see G1492 with their eyes G3788 , and G2532 hear G191 with their ears G3775 , and G2532 understand G4920 with their heart G2588 , and G2532 should be converted G1994 , and G2532 I should heal G2390 them G846 .
|
|
28. Then let it be known to you that the salvation of God was sent to the nations, and they will hear. LXX-Psa. 66:3; MT-Psa. 67:2
|
28. Be G2077 it known G1110 therefore G3767 unto you G5213 , that G3754 the G3588 salvation G4992 of God G2316 is sent G649 unto the G3588 Gentiles G1484 , and G2532 that they G846 will hear G191 it.
|
|
29. And he saying these things, the Jews went away, having much discussion among themselves.
|
29. And G2532 when he G846 had said G2036 these words G5023 , the G3588 Jews G2453 departed G565 , and had G2192 great G4183 reasoning G4803 among G1722 themselves G1438 .
|
|
30. And Paul remained two whole years in his own rented place, and he welcomed all those coming in to him,
|
30. And G1161 Paul G3972 dwelt G3306 two whole years G1333 G3650 in G1722 his own G2398 hired house G3410 , and G2532 received G588 all G3956 that came in G1531 unto G4314 him G846 ,
|
|
31. proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all freedom and without hindrance.
|
31. Preaching G2784 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 , and G2532 teaching G1321 those things G3588 which concern G4012 the G3588 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , with G3326 all G3956 confidence G3954 , no man forbidding him G209 .
