| 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. |

| 28:9 | 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. |

| 28:23 | 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. |
| 28:28 | Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. |
| 28:29 | And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. |
| 28:30 | And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, |
| 28:31 | Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. |
