Acts 28
1 And, when we were safely through, then, we knew that the island was called, Melita.
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲛϯⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲗⲓⲧⲓⲛⲏ.
2 And, the natives, began to shew us no common philanthropy; for, kindling a fire, they received us all, because of the rain that had set in, and because of the cold.

3 But, when Paul had gathered a certain lot of firewood into a bundle, and laid it on the fire, a viper, by reason of the heat, coming forth, fastened on his hand.

4 And, when the natives saw the brute hanging out from his hand, they began to say, one to another—Doubtless, this man is, a murderer, whom, though brought safely through out of the sea, Justice, hath not suffered, to live.

5 He, however, shaking of the brute into the fire, suffered no harm;

6 whereas, they, were expecting, that he was about to become inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead; —but, when they had been long expecting, and had observed, nothing unusual, happening unto him, they changed their minds, and began to say he was a god.
ⲋ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲫⲱϫⲓ ⲓⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁϩⲉⲓ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲱⲥⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲉϥϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲡⲉ.
7 Now, in the neighbourhood of that place, were lands, belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius, —who, making us welcome, for three days, hospitably entertained us.

8 And it so happened that, the father of Publius, with feverish heats and dysentery distressed, was lying prostrate: unto whom Paul entering in and praying, laid his hands on him, and healed him.

9 And, when this happened, the rest also, even they in the island who were sick, were coming in and getting cured;

10 who also, with many honours, honoured us, and, when we were about to sail, put on board such things as we might need.

11 And, after three months, we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, [a ship] of Alexandria, whose ensign was The Twin Brothers;

12 and, touching at Syracuse, we tarried three days;

13 whence, going round, we reached Rhegium; and, after one day, a south wind springing up, on the second day, we came to Puteoli;

14 where, finding brethren, we were entreated to tarry, with them, seven days; —and, thus, towards Rome, we came.

15 And, when from thence the brethren heard the tidings concerning us, they came to meet us, as far as The Market of Appius and the Three Taverns—seeing whom, Paul thanked God, and took courage.

16 And, when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.

17 And it came to pass, after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and, when they came together, he began to say unto them—I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, as a prisoner, out of Jerusalem, was delivered into the hands of the Romans;

18 who, indeed, when they had examined me, were minded to set me at liberty, because there was, nothing worthy of death, in me.

19 But, as the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar, —not as though, against my nation, I had anything to bring by way of accusation.

23 And, having arranged with him a day, there came unto him, to the lodging, a larger number; unto whom he proceeded to expound, bearing full witness as to the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and from the prophets, —from morning till evening.
