   and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his   
   hands on him, and healed him.   
      
   9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island,   
   came, and were healed:   
      
   10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they   
   laded us with such things as were necessary.   
      
   11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had   
   wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.   
      
   12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.   
      
   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:   
      
   14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven   
   days: and so we went toward Rome.   
      
   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.   
      
   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.   
      
   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.   
      
   18 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there   
   was no cause of death in me.   
      
   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.   
      
   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.   
      
   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.   
      
   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.   
      
   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.   
      
   24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.   
      
   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,   
      
   26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and   
   shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:   
      
   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 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent   
   unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.   
      
   29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great   
   reasoning among themselves.   
      
   30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received   
   all that came in unto him,   
      
   31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern   
   the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
