44:028:005 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

44:028:006 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.

44:028:007 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.

44:028:008 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.

44:028:009 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the
           island, came, and were healed: 

44:028:010 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed,
           they laded us with such things as were necessary.

44:028:011 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria,
           which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and
           Pollux.

44:028:012 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

44:028:013 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: 

44:028:014 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them
           seven days:  and so we went toward Rome.

44:028:015 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.

44:028:016 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.

44:028:017 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.

44:028:018 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because
           there was no cause of death in me.

44:028:019 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to
           appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation
           of.

44:028:020 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.
