The Scriptures 1998

Acts 28:5-14 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. Then, indeed, he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no evil.

6. And expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead, they waited for a long time and saw no harm come to him, changing their minds they said that he was a mighty one.

7. And in the neighbourhood of that place there were lands of the chief of the island, whose name was Poplius, who received us and housed us in a friendly way for three days.

8. And it came to be that the father of Poplius lay sick with inflammation and dysentery. Sha’ul went in to him, and having prayed he laid his hands on him and healed him.

9. And when this took place, the rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed,

10. who also respected us in many ways. And when we were setting sail, they provided us with our needs.

11. And after three months we set sail in an Alexandrian ship which had wintered at the island, and whose figurehead was “Twin Brothers.”

12. And having landed at Syracuse, we stayed three days,

13. from which place we went round and arrived at Rhegium. And after one day the south wind blew, and the second day we came to Puteoli,

14. where we found brothers, and were invited to stay with them seven days. And so we went toward Rome.
