\subsection{Acts 28}
|
|
\VS{1} And having been saved, we then knew that the island is called Miletus.
|
|
\VS{2} And the natives were granting not the ordinary kindness to us, for
|
|
having lit [a] fire they received us all because of the rain having come and
|
|
because of the cold.
|
|
\VS{3} So Paul having gathered up [a] certain multitude of
|
|
sticks and placed them on the fire, [a] snake having come out from the heat
|
|
fastened upon his hand.
|
|
\VS{4} Now when the natives saw the wild-beast
|
|
hanging from his hand, they were saying to one another: Certainly this man
|
|
is [a] murderer, who having been saved from the sea, justice does not permit to
|
|
be zoe-living\fnZoe{}.
|
|
\VS{5} On the one hand therefore having shaken the wild-beast off
|
|
into the fire he suffered nothing evil,
|
|
\VS{6} but on the other they were
|
|
awaiting him to be [about] to be becoming swollen, or to be falling down suddenly
|
|
dead. So after much [time] they having awaited and having beheld nothing unusual
|
|
come to pass upon him, having changed [their] minds they were saying him to be [a]
|
|
god.
|
|
\VS{7} Now in the environs around that place were possessions to the
|
|
foremost [man] of the island by name Poplios, who having received us, three days
|
|
[he] hospitably lodged [us].
|
|
\VS{8} Now it came to pass the father of Poplios,
|
|
having been seized by fevers and dysentery, laid down, to whom Paul having
|
|
gone in and having prayed, having laid [his] hands upon him, [he] healed him.
|
|
\VS{9} Now when this came to pass, the rest of those in the island having
|
|
feeblenesses were also coming to [him] and were being healed,
|
|
\VS{10} who also
|
|
honored us with many honors, and when we departed they placed [supplies] towards [our]
|
|
needs.
|
|
\VS{11} So after three months we were brought by boat which had
|
|
wintered in the island, [a ship] of Alexandria, marked Dioskourois.
|
|
\VS{12} And
|
|
having been brought down to Syracuse, we remained three days,
|
|
\VS{13} whence
|
|
having gone around we arrive in Rhegium. And after one day [a] south wind
|
|
having come to pass, we came on the second day to Potiolus,
|
|
\VS{14} where
|
|
having found brothers, we were called upon by them to remain seven days. And
|
|
thus we came to Rome.
|
|
\VS{15} And from there the brothers, having heard the
|
|
[news] concerning us, came to meet us as far as the Forum of Appius and The Three
|
|
Taverns, which Paul having seen, having thanked God, he received courage.
|
|
\VS{16} So when we came to Rome, it was permitted to Paul to be abiding by
|
|
himself with the soldier guarding him.
|
|
\VS{17} So it came to pass after
|
|
three days Paul summoned those being foremost of the Jews. So when they were
|
|
gathered he was saying to them: I, men, brothers, having done nothing
|
|
against the people or the customs [given] to the fathers, [a] prisoner from Jerusalem
|
|
was I delivered up to the hands of the Romans,
|
|
\VS{18} who having examined
|
|
me intended to release [me] because of no cause of death being in me.
|
|
\VS{19} But the Jews having spoken against [me], I was compelled to appeal to Caesar,
|
|
not as having anything to be accusing of my nation.
|
|
\VS{20} Because of this
|
|
therefore have I called upon you to see [you] and to speak [to you] with reason. For on
|
|
account of the hope if Israel do I wear this chain.
|
|
\VS{21} So they said to
|
|
him: We have neither received letter concerning you from Judea, nor having
|
|
arrived has any of the brothers reported or spoken any wicked\fnPoneros{} [thing] concerning you.
|
|
\VS{22} But we desire to hear from you what you think, for indeed
|
|
concerning this sect, [it] is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.
|
|
\VS{23} So having appointed for him [a] day, more came to him in the lodging
|
|
place, to whom he set forth testifying of the kingdom of God, persuading
|
|
them both from the law of Moses and [from] the prophets, from early to evening.
|
|
\VS{24} And some were being persuaded to the [things] said, but others were not
|
|
believing.
|
|
\VS{25} And being at variance towards one another they were
|
|
departing, Paul having spoken one word, that: Well did the Holy Spirit speak
|
|
through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers
|
|
\VS{26} saying\footnote{Isa.6:9-10}:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Go to this people and say, \\
|
|
With hearing you will hear and will \negd{not} understand, \\
|
|
And looking you will look and will \negd{not} see. \\
|
|
\VS{27} For the heart of this people has grown fat\footnote{or ``thick''},
|
|
\\
|
|
And with their ears they heard with disgust, \\
|
|
And their eyes they have closed, \\
|
|
Lest they see with their eyes, \\
|
|
And hear with their ears, \\
|
|
And understand with [their] heart and turn back, \\
|
|
And I heal them.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{28} Let\fnImperative{} it therefore be known to you that to the
|
|
nations\footnote{i.e. the Gentiles} is sent this salvation of God, they
|
|
themselves indeed will hear [it]. [
|
|
\VS{29} And he having said these [things], the Jews
|
|
departed, having much dispute among themselves.]\footnote{omit vs. 29:
|
|
\papyrus{74}\sinaiticus{}B; include vs. 29: \koine\ \vulgate\ }
|
|
\VS{30} So he remained two whole
|
|
years in his own rented house, and he received all those coming in to him,
|
|
\VS{31} proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching the [things] concerning the Lord
|
|
Jesus Christ with all openness\footnote{or ``boldness"} unhindered.
