    [kjv]  And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
    [bbe]  And when we were safe, we made the discovery that the island was named Melita.
28:2 [hgb]  土 人 看 待 我 们 ， 有 非 常 的 情 分 ， 因 为 当 时 下 雨 ， 天 气 又 冷 ， 就 生 火 ， 接 待 我 们 众 人 。
    [kjv]  And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
    [bbe]  And the simple people living there were uncommonly kind to us, for they made a fire for us, and took us in, because it was raining and cold.
28:3 [hgb]  那 时 保 罗 拾 起 一 捆 柴 ， 放 在 火 上 ， 有 一 条 毒 蛇 ， 因 为 热 了 出 来 ， 咬 住 他 的 手 。
    [kjv]  And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
    [bbe]  But when Paul had got some sticks together and put them on the fire, a snake came out, because of the heat, and gave him a bite on the hand.
28:4 [hgb]  土 人 看 见 那 毒 蛇 ， 悬 在 他 手 上 ， 就 彼 此 说 ， 这 人 必 是 个 凶 手 ， 虽 然 从 海 里 救 上 来 ， 天 理 还 不 容 他 活 着 。
    [kjv]  And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
    [bbe]  And when the people saw it hanging on his hand, they said to one another, Without doubt this man has put someone to death, and though he has got safely away from the sea, God will not let him go on living.
28:5 [hgb]  保 罗 竟 把 那 毒 蛇 ， 甩 在 火 里 ， 并 没 有 受 伤 。
    [kjv]  And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
    [bbe]  But shaking off the beast into the fire, he got no damage.
28:6 [hgb]  土 人 想 他 必 要 肿 起 来 ， 或 是 忽 然 仆 倒 死 了 。 看 了 多 时 ， 见 他 无 害 ， 就 转 念 说 ， 他 是 个 神 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  But they had the idea that they would see him becoming ill, or suddenly falling down dead; but after waiting a long time, and seeing that no damage came to him, changing their opinion, they said he was a god.
28:7 [hgb]  离 那 地 方 不 远 ， 有 田 产 是 岛 长 部 百 流 的 。 他 接 纳 我 们 ， 尽 情 款 待 三 日 。
    [kjv]  In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
    [bbe]  Now near that place there was some land, the property of the chief man of the island, who was named Publius; who very kindly took us into his house as his guests for three days.
28:8 [hgb]  当 时 ， 部 百 流 的 父 亲 ， 患 热 病 和 痢 疾 躺 着 。 保 罗 进 去 ， 为 他 祷 告 ， 按 手 在 他 身 上 ， 治 好 了 他 。
    [kjv]  And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
    [bbe]  And the father of Publius was ill, with a disease of the stomach; to whom Paul went, and put his hands on him, with prayer, and made him well.
28:9 [hgb]  从 此 ， 岛 上 其 余 的 病 人 ， 也 来 得 了 医 治 。
    [kjv]  So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
    [bbe]  And when this took place, all the others in the island who had diseases came and were made well.
28:10 [hgb]  他 们 又 多 方 的 尊 敬 我 们 。 到 了 开 船 的 时 候 ， 也 把 我 们 所 需 用 的 送 到 船 上 。
    [kjv]  Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
    [bbe]  Then they gave us great honour, and, when we went away, they put into the ship whatever things we were in need of.
28:11 [hgb]  过 了 三 个 月 ， 我 们 上 了 亚 力 山 太 的 船 ， 往 前 行 。 这 船 以 丢 斯 双 子 为 记 ， 是 在 那 海 岛 过 了 冬 的 。
    [kjv]  And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
    [bbe]  And after three months we went to sea in a ship of Alexandria sailing under the sign of the Dioscuri, which had been at the island for the winter.

    [kjv]  And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
    [bbe]  And going into the harbour at Syracuse, we were waiting there for three days.
28:13 [hgb]  又 从 那 里 绕 行 ， 来 到 利 基 翁 。 过 了 一 天 ， 起 了 南 风 ， 第 二 天 就 来 到 部 丢 利 。
    [kjv]  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:
    [bbe]  And from there, going about in a curve, we came to Rhegium: and after one day a south wind came up and on the day after we came to Puteoli:
28:14 [hgb]  在 那 里 遇 见 弟 兄 们 ， 请 我 们 与 他 们 同 住 了 七 天 。 这 样 我 们 来 到 罗 马 。
    [kjv]  Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
    [bbe]  Where we came across some of the brothers, who kept us with them for seven days; and so we came to Rome.
28:15 [hgb]  那 里 的 弟 兄 们 ， 一 听 见 我 们 的 信 息 ， 就 出 来 到 亚 比 乌 市 ， 和 三 馆 地 方 迎 接 我 们 。 保 罗 见 了 他 们 ， 就 感 谢 神 ， 放 心 壮 胆 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  And the brothers, when they had news of us, came out from town as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns to have a meeting with us: and Paul, seeing them, gave praise to God and took heart.
28:16 [hgb]  进 了 罗 马 城 ， （ 有 古 卷 在 此 有 百 夫 长 把 众 囚 犯 交 给 御 营 的 统 领 惟 有 ） 保 罗 蒙 准 ， 和 一 个 看 守 他 的 兵 ， 另 住 在 一 处 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  And when we came into Rome, they let Paul have a house for himself and the armed man who kept watch over him.
28:17 [hgb]  过 了 三 天 ， 保 罗 请 犹 太 人 的 首 领 来 。 他 们 来 了 ， 就 对 他 们 说 ， 弟 兄 们 ， 我 虽 没 有 作 什 么 事............
