28:1 | And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. |
28:2 | 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. |
28:3 | 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. |
28:4 | 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. |
28:5 | And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. |
28:6 | 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. |
28:7 | 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. |
28:8 | 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. |
28:9 | So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed: |
28:10 | Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary. |
28:11 | And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. |
28:12 | And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. |
28:13 | 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: |
28:14 | Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome. |
28:15 | 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. |
28:16 | 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. |
28:17 | 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. |
28:18 | Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me. |
28:19 | But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of. |
28:20 | 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. |
28:21 | 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. |
28:22 | But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. |
28:23 | 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. |
28:24 | And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. |
28:25 | 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, |
28:26 | Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: |
28:27 | 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. |
28:27 | 因為這百姓、油蒙了心、耳朵發沉、眼睛閉著.恐怕眼睛看見、耳朵聽見、心裡明白、回轉過來、我就醫治他們。』 |
28:27 | 因为这百姓,油蒙了心,耳朵发沉,眼睛闭着。恐怕眼睛看见,耳朵听见,心里明白,回转过来,我就医治他们。 |
isa:6:10 | Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. |
mat:13:15 | For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. |
mak:6:52 | For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. |
jhn:12:40 | He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. |
rom:11:8 | (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. |
2co:3:14 | But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. |
luk:22:32 | But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. |
