Acts 28

1 And having been saved then (we found out *N(K)O*) that Malta the island is called;

And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Malta,

2 (And *N(k)O*) the natives were showing not [just] the ordinary kindness to us; (Having kindled *N(k)O*) for a fire they received all of us because of the rain which already coming on and because of the cold.

and the foreigners were showing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;

3 When having gathered now Paul of sticks (some *no*) quantity and having laid [them] on the fire a viper (out from *N(k)O*) the heat having come fastened on the hand of him.

but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] on the fire, a viper—having come out of the heat—fastened on his hand.

4 When then saw the natives hanging the beast from the hand of him, to one another they were saying: By all means a murderer is man this, whom having been saved from the sea Justice to live not has permitted.

And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not permit to live”;

5 The [one] indeed then (having shaken off *NK(o)*) the creature into the fire he suffered no [thing] injurious.

he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,

6 But they were expecting him to be about to become inflamed or to fall down suddenly dead; A while great however when they are waiting and seeing nothing amiss to him happening (having changed their opinion *N(k)O*) they were declaringing him to be a god.

and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to suddenly fall down dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.

7 In now the [parts] around the place that [one] were lands [belonging] to the chief of the island, named Publius, who having received us three days hospitably entertained [us].

And in the neighborhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, courteously lodged [us for] three days;

8 It came to pass then the father of Publius with fevers and (with dysentery *N(k)O*) oppressed [was] lying; to whom Paul having entered and having prayed, having laid the hands on him, healed him.

and it came to pass, the father of Publius was lying, oppressed with fevers and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;

9 Of this (then *N(k)O*) having taken place also the rest in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed;

this, therefore, being done, also the others in the island having sicknesses were coming and were healed;

10 who also with many honors honored us, and on setting sail they laid on [us] the [things] for (the needs. *N(k)O*)

who also honored us with many honors, and we setting sail—they were loading [us] with the things that were necessary.

11 After then three months (we set out *NK(o)*) in a ship having wintered in the island, Alexandrian, with a figurehead of [the] Dioscuri;

And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the island) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,

12 And having put in at Syracuse we stayed days three,

and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,

13 from where (having taken off *N(K)O*) we arrived at Rhegium And after one day when was comong on a south wind on the second day we came to Puteoli;

there having gone around, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli,

14 where having found [some] brothers we were entreated (with *N(k)O*) them to remain days seven; And so to Rome we came.

where, having found brothers, we were called on to remain with them seven days, and thus we came to Rome;

15 And from there And from there the brothers having heard the [things] concerning us (they came out *N(k)O*) to meet us as far as of Appius [the] market and [the] Three Taverns, whom having seen Paul having given thanks to God took courage.

and there, the brothers having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, as far as [the] Forum of Appius, and Three Taverns—whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.

16 When now (we came *N(k)O*) to Rome, (the centurion delivered prisoners to the commanders *K*) was allowed (Now *k*) Paul to stay by himself with who is guarding him soldier.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barracks, but Paul was permitted to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.

17 It came to pass then after days three calling together (*k*) (he *N(K)O*) those being of the Jews leaders; When they were assembling then they he was saying to them; I myself, men brothers no [thing] against having done the people or against the customs of our fathers, a prisoner from Jerusalem was delivered into the hands of the Romans,

And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said to them: “Men, brothers, I—having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers—a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up into the hands of the Romans;

18 who having examined me they were wanting to let [me] go on account of not one cause of death existing in me myself;

who having examined me, were willing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,

19 When were objecting however the Jews I was compelled to appeal to Caesar not as if the nation of mine having anything (to lay against. *N(k)O*)

and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal to Caesar—not as having anything to accuse my nation of;

20 For this therefore cause I have called you to see and to speak to [you]; because of for the hope of Israel chain this I have around [me].

for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”

21 And to him they said; We ourselves neither letters concerning you received from Judea, nor having arrived any of the brothers reported or he said anything concerning you evil.

And they said to him, “We neither received letters concerning you from Judea, nor did anyone who came of the brothers declare or speak any evil concerning you,

22 We deem it worthy however from you to hear what you think; concerning truly for sect this known to us it is that everywhere it is spoken against.

and we think it good from you to hear what you think, for indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere”;

23 Having appointed then to him a day (came *N(k)O*) to him to the lodging many, to whom he was expounding fully testifying to the kingdom of God, persuading then them (*k*) concerning Jesus from both the law of Moses and the Prophets from morning to evening.

and having appointed him a day, more of them came to him, to the lodging, to whom he was setting [it] forth, testifying fully the Kingdom of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, from morning until evening,

24 And some indeed were persuaded by the [things] he is speaking, some however were disbelieving.

and some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.

25 Discordant then being with one another they were leaving when was speaking Paul declaration one that Rightly the Spirit Holy spoke through Isaiah the prophet to the fathers (of you *N(K)O*)

And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke well through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

26 (he is saying: *N(k)O*) do go to people this and do say; In hearing you will hear and certainly not may understand, and in looking you will look and certainly not may perceive;

saying, Go on to this people and say, With hearing you will hear, and you will not understand, and seeing you will see, and you will not perceive,

27 Has grown dull for the heart of the people this, and with the ears barely they hear and the eyes of them they have closed; otherwise otherwise they may see with the eyes and with the ears they may hear and with the heart they may understand and may turn and (I will heal *N(k)O*) them.’

for the heart of this people was made obtuse, and with the ears they barely heard, and they closed their eyes, lest they may see with the eyes, and may understand with the heart, and should turn, and I may heal them.

28 Known therefore it should be to you that to the Gentiles has been sent (this *no*) salvation of God, they themselves then will listen!

Be it known, therefore, to you, that the salvation of God was sent to the nations, these also will hear it”;

29 (and these things of him saying they went away the Jews much having in themselves discussion. *K*)

[[and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much debate among themselves; ]]

30 (He abided *N(k)O*) then (Paul *k*) two years whole in his own rented house and was welcoming all those coming unto him

and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in to him,

31 proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching the [things] concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness unhinderedly.

preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness—unforbidden.
