Ac 28 (King James)

¹ And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
² 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.
³ 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.
⁴ 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.
⁵ And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
⁶ 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.
⁷ 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.
⁸ 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.
⁹ So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
¹⁰ Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
¹¹ And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
¹² And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
¹³ And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
¹⁴ Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
¹⁵ And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
¹⁶ And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
¹⁷ 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.
¹⁸ Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
¹⁹ But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
²⁰ 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.
²¹ 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.
²² But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
²³ 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.
²⁴ And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
²⁵ 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,
²⁶ Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
²⁷ 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.
²⁸ Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
²⁹ And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
³⁰ And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
³¹ Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

Ac 28 (Vulgate)

¹ Et cum evasissemus, tunc cognovimus quia Melita insula vocabatur. Barbari vero præstabant non modicam humanitatem nobis.
² Accensa enim pyra, reficiebant nos omnes propter imbrem qui imminebat, et frigus.
³ Cum congregasset autem Paulus sarmentorum aliquantam multitudinem, et imposuisset super ignem, vipera a calore cum processisset, invasit manum ejus.
⁴ Ut vero viderunt barbari pendentem bestiam de manu ejus, ad invicem dicebant : Utique homicida est homo hic, qui cum evaserit de mari, ultio non sinit eum vivere.
⁵ Et ille quidem excutiens bestiam in ignem, nihil mali passus est.
⁶ At illi existimabant eum in tumorem convertendum, et subito casurum et mori. Diu autem illis exspectantibus, et videntibus nihil mali in eo fieri, convertentes se, dicebant eum esse deum.
⁷ In locis autem illis erant prædia principis insulæ, nomine Publii, qui nos suscipiens, triduo benigne exhibuit.
⁸ Contigit autem patrem Publii febribus et dysenteria vexatum jacere. Ad quem Paulus intravit : et cum orasset, et imposuisset ei manus, salvavit eum.
⁹ Quo facto, omnes qui in insula habebant infirmitates, accedebant, et curabantur :
¹⁰ qui etiam multis honoribus nos honoraverunt, et navigantibus imposuerunt quæ necessaria erant.
¹¹ Post menses autem tres navigavimus in navi Alexandrina, quæ in insula hiemaverat, cui erat insigne Castorum.
¹² Et cum venissemus Syracusam, mansimus ibi triduo.
¹³ Inde circumlegentes devenimus Rhegium : et post unum diem, flante austro, secunda die venimus Puteolos :
¹⁴ ubi inventis fratribus rogati sumus manere apud eos dies septem : et sic venimus Romam.
¹⁵ Et inde cum audissent fratres, occurrerunt nobis usque ad Appii forum, ac tres Tabernas. Quos cum vidisset Paulus, gratias agens Deo, accepit fiduciam.
¹⁶ Cum autem venissemus Romam, permissum est Paulo manere sibimet cum custodiente se milite.
¹⁷ Post tertium autem diem convocavit primos Judæorum. Cumque convenissent, dicebat eis : Ego, viri fratres, nihil adversus plebem faciens, aut morem paternum, vinctus ab Jerosolymis traditus sum in manus Romanorum,
¹⁸ qui cum interrogationem de me habuissent, voluerunt me dimittere, eo quod nulla esset causa mortis in me.
¹⁹ Contradicentibus autem Judæis, coactus sum appellare Cæsarem, non quasi gentem meam habens aliquid accusare.
²⁰ Propter hanc igitur causam rogavi vos videre, et alloqui. Propter spem enim Israël catena hac circumdatus sum.
²¹ At illi dixerunt ad eum : Nos neque litteras accepimus de te a Judæa, neque adveniens aliquis fratrum nuntiavit, aut locutus est quid de te malum.
²² Rogamus autem a te audire quæ sentis : nam de secta hac notum est nobis quia ubique ei contradicitur.
²³ Cum constituissent autem illi diem, venerunt ad eum in hospitium plurimi, quibus exponebat testificans regnum Dei, suadensque eis de Jesu ex lege Moysi et prophetis a mane usque ad vesperam.
²⁴ Et quidam credebant his quæ dicebantur : quidam vero non credebant.
²⁵ Cumque invicem non essent consentientes, discedebant, dicente Paulo unum verbum : Quia bene Spiritus Sanctus locutus est per Isaiam prophetam ad patres nostros,
²⁶ dicens : Vade ad populum istum, et dic ad eos : [Aure audietis, et non intelligetis, et videntes videbitis, et non perspicietis.
²⁷ Incrassatum est enim cor populi hujus, et auribus graviter audierunt, et oculos suos compresserunt : ne forte videant oculis, et auribus audiant, et corde intelligant, et convertantur, et sanem eos.]
²⁸ Notum ergo sit vobis, quoniam gentibus missum est hoc salutare Dei, et ipsi audient.
²⁹ Et cum hæc dixisset, exierunt ab eo Judæi, multam habentes inter se quæstionem.
³⁰ Mansit autem biennio toto in suo conducto : et suscipiebat omnes qui ingrediebantur ad eum,
³¹ prædicans regnum Dei, et docens quæ sunt de Domino Jesu Christo cum omni fiducia, sine prohibitione.
