27:36. Then were they all of better cheer: and they also took some meat.
27:37. And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen
souls.
27:38. And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting
the wheat into the sea.
27:39. And when it was day, they knew not the land. But they discovered
a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could,
to thrust in the ship.
27:40. And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves
to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands. And hoisting up the
mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore.
27:41. And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run
the ship aground. And the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained
unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.
27:42. And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the
prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out should escape.
27:43. But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done.
And he commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves first
into the sea and save themselves and get to land.
27:44. And the rest, some they carried on boards and some on those
things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass that every soul
got safe to land.
Acts Chapter 28
Paul, after three months' stay in Melita, continues his voyage and
arrives at Rome. His conference there with the Jews.
28:1. And when we had escaped, then we knew that the island was called
Melita. But the barbarians shewed us no small courtesy.
28:2. For kindling a fire, they refreshed us all, because of the present
rain and of the cold.
28:3. And when Paul had gathered together a bundle of sticks and had
laid them on the fire, a viper, coming out of the heat, fastened on his
hand.
28:4. And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging on his hand, they
said one to another: Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, who, though he
hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance doth not suffer him to live.
28:5. And he indeed, shaking off the beast into the fire, suffered no
harm.
28:6. But they supposed that he would begin to swell up and that he
would suddenly fall down and die. But expecting long and seeing that
there came no harm to him, changing their minds, they said that he was a
god.
28:7. Now in these places were possessions of the chief man of the
island, named Publius: who, receiving us for three days, entertained us
courteously.
28:8. And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and
of a bloody flux. To whom Paul entered in. And when he had prayed and
laid his hands on him, he healed him.
28:9. Which being done, all that had diseases in the island came and
were healed.
28:10. Who also honoured us with many honours: and when we were to set
sail, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
28:11. And after three months, we sailed in a ship of Alexandria, that
had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Castors.
28:12. And when we were come to Syracusa, we tarried there three days.
28:13. From thence, compassing by the shore, we came to Rhegium: and
after one day, the south wind blowing, we came the second day to
Puteoli:
