28:
11 And after three months we embarked in a ship having passed the winter in
the island an Alexandrian, with a sign Dioscuri
12 And being brought to land to Syracus we
remained days three. 13 whence
lacking we arrived at Rhegium. And
after one day coming on a suth wind on the second day we came to
Puteoli, 14 where having found brothers we were besought with them to
remain days seven, and thus to Rome
we went. 15 And thence the brothers
having heard the things concerning us came to a meeting with us as far as
April Forum and Three Taverns whom seeing Paul thanking God he took
courage.:16 And when we entered into Rome he (the centurion)
permitted Paul to remain by himself with the guarding him soldier. 17
And it came to pass after days three to call together him the ones being of
the Jews first and coming together them he said to them: I men brothers,
nothing contrary having done to the people or to the customs ancestral, a
prisoner from Jerusalem I was delivered into the hands of the Romans 18 who
having examined me were minded to release on account no cause of death to
us in me; 19 but speaking against the Jews I was compelled to appeal to
Caesar; not as the nation of me having anything to accuse. 20 On account of
this therefore came I called you to see and to speak to: for the sake of
this hope of Israel
this chain I have found me. 21 And they to him said: We neither letters
about thee received from
|
Judas,
nor arriving anyone of the brothers told or spoke anything about the evil.
22 But we think fit from thee to hear what things thou thinkest concerning
indeed for sect this know to us it is that everywhere it is spoken against.
23 And arranging with him a day came to him in that lodging more, to whom
he set forth solemnly witnessing the kingdom of God,
persuading and them concerning Jesus from both the law of Moses and the
prophets, from morning until evening. 24 And some were persuaded by the
things being said 25 others disbelieved; and disagreed being with one
another they were dismissed having said Paul word one, well the Spirit Holy
spoke through Esaias the prophet to the fathers of you 26 saying: On thou
to this people and say: In hearing ye will hear and by no means understand,
and looking ye will look and by no means see; 27 was thickened for the
heart of this people and with their ears heavily they heard, and the eyes
of them they closed; lest at any time they see with the eyes and with the ears
hear and with the heart understand and turn, and I shall cure them. 28
Known therefore let it be to you that to the nations was sent this
salvation of God; and they will hear. 30 And he remained a whole two years
in his own hired apartment, and welcomed all the ones coming in to him. 31 proclaiming the kingdom of God
and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all
boldness unhinderdly
