²⁸ crying out, Men of Israel, help! This is the man, who, by his preaching, sets all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: yea and more still, hath brought Greeks into the temple, and defiled this holy place: ²⁹ (for they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they imagined that Paul had introduced into the temple.) ³⁰ And the whole city was in motion, and there was a concourse of people assembled: and laying hands on Paul, they dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were shut. ³¹ And as they were attempting to murder him, the report reached the military tribune of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion. ³² Who instantly taking soldiers and centurions ran down unto them: and when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they left off beating Paul. ³³ Then the tribune approaching him, laid hold on him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains; and asked who he was, and what he had done. ³⁴ Then some among the multitude bellowed out one thing, and some another: so unable to know the certainty of the case because of the tumult, he ordered him to be brought into the fortress. ³⁵ But when he was on the stairs, it happened that he was borne up by the soldiers, because of the press of the crowd. ³⁶ For a multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him!

¹ MEN, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my apology which I now offer unto you. ² Then when they heard that he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence: and he said, ³ I am indeed a Jewish man, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but educated in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed accurately in the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, as ye all are this day: ⁴ so much so that I persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering up to prisons both men and women. ⁵ As also the high-priest will bear me witness, and all the body of elders: from whom also having received letters unto the brethren, I went unto Damascus, to bring those who were there in chains unto Jerusalem, that they might be punished. ⁶ But as I went and drew nigh to Damascus, at noon-day, suddenly there shone a great light from heaven around me. ⁷ And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? ⁸ And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarean, whom thou persecutest. ⁹ Now they who were with me saw the light indeed, and were terrified; but the voice of him that spake to me heard they not. ¹⁰ Then I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise, go into Damascus; and there information shall be given thee of all things which are ordained for thee to do. ¹¹ Then as I could no longer see through the dazzling brightness of that light, led by the hand of those who were with me, I came to Damascus. ¹² And one Ananias, a religious man according to the law, and in high repute with all the Jews dwelling there, ¹³ came to me, and standing by me, said, Brother Saul, recover sight. And the same hour I looked up at him. ¹⁴ And he said, The God of our fathers hath predestinated thee to know his will, and to see the Just One, and to hear a voice from his mouth. ¹⁵ For thou shalt be a witness for him to all men, of the things which thou hast seen and heard. ¹⁶ And now why delay? arise, to be baptised, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord. ¹⁷ Now it came to pass, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance; ¹⁸ and beheld him saying to me, Make haste, and depart quickly from Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony of me. ¹⁹ And I said, Lord, they know that I was imprisoning and scourging from synagogue to synagogue those who believe on thee: ²⁰ and when the blood of Stephen thy martyr was shed, I myself even stood by, and took delight in his execution, and guarded the garments of those who slew him. ²¹ And he said to me, Go: for I will send thee forth to the Gentiles afar off. ²² And they gave him audience to this sentence, and lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live. ²³ So when they began raising a vast clamour, and stripping off their garments, and casting dust into the air, ²⁴ the military tribune commanded him to be brought into the fortress, ordering that he should be put to the question by scourging; that he might know for what cause they clamoured so loudly against him. ²⁵ So as they were tying him up for the thongs, Paul said to the centurion standing by him, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman citizen, and uncondemned? ²⁶ And when the centurion heard this, he came and told the military tribune, saying, Consider what you are going to do: for this man is a Roman citizen. ²⁷ Then the tribune came, and said to him, Tell me, art thou a Roman citizen? And he said, Yes. ²⁸ And the tribune replied, With a large sum of money I purchased this citizenship. And Paul said, But I enjoy it as my birthright. ²⁹ Immediately then they who were about to put him to the question, withdrew from him: and indeed the tribune dreaded the consequences, when he knew that he was a Roman citizen, that he had even gone so far as to bind him. ³⁰ So on the morrow, desirous to know of a certainty what it was of which he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him from the bonds, and commanded the high-priest and all the sanhedrim to appear, and bringing Paul down, set him before them.

¹ AND being safe landed, we then understood that the island was called Melita. ² And the rude people treated us with singular humanity; for, lighting a fire, they received us all, because of the violent rain, and because of the cold. ³ But as Paul was gathering up a faggot of sticks, and laying them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. ⁴ Now when the rude people saw the venomous animal hanging from his hand, they said one to another, Surely this man is a murderer, whom though preserved from the sea, righteous vengeance suffereth not to live. ⁵ But he then shaking off the venomous animal into the fire, suffered no manner of inconvenience. ⁶ Now they expected that a violent inflammation would ensue, or that he would have fallen suddenly dead: but when, after waiting a considerable time, they saw no inconvenience arise to him, they changed their opinion, and said that he was a divinity. ⁷ Now in the vicinity of that place was the estate of the principal person on the island, named Publius, who received us into his house, and lodged us with great humanity three days. ⁸ And it so happened that the father of Publius was then confined to his bed with an attack of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul went in, and after praying, laid his hands upon him, and healed him. ⁹ This then being the case, all the rest also who had diseases in the island came to him, and were healed. ¹⁰ Then they honoured us with many tokens of respect; and when we were about to sail, laid in for us every necessary store. ¹¹ And after three months stay we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, from Alexandria, whose sign was Castor and Pollux: ¹² and proceeding on our voyage to Syracuse, we tarried there three days: ¹³ from whence we came round, and arrived opposite to Rhegium; and after one day the south wind arising, we came in two more to Puteoli: ¹⁴ where finding brethren, we were solicited by them to tarry seven days; and so we went for Rome. ¹⁵ And the brethren from thence, when they heard of our motions, came out to meet us as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns: whom when Paul saw, he gave thanks to God, and felt fresh courage. ¹⁶ And when we were come to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but he permitted Paul to have an apartment by himself, with a soldier only who guarded him. ¹⁷ Now it came to pass that after three days Paul called together the principal persons of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have done nothing contrary to the people and the customs of our ancestors, yet have I been delivered up a prisoner into the hands of the Romans. ¹⁸ Who, after a full examination, would have discharged me, because there was not the least cause found in me for death. ¹⁹ But when the Jews opposed it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I have any accusation to bring against my countrymen. ²⁰ For this cause therefore have I invited you hither, to see and to converse with you; for on account of the hope of Israel am I bound with this chain. ²¹ Then they said to him, We have neither received letters concerning thee from Judea, nor hath any one of the brethren who is arrived reported or spoken any thing evil of thee. ²² But we think it highly proper to hear from thee what thy sentiments are; for indeed as to this sect, it is well known to us that everywhere it meets with opposition. ²³ Then having fixed a day with him, still more of them came to him at his lodging, to whom bearing his testimony, he set forth the kingdom of God, and persuaded them of the things relating to Jesus, both out of the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening: ²⁴ and some were convinced by the things which were spoken, but others continued in their unbelief. ²⁵ So being divided in sentiment among themselves, they broke up, Paul adding one word, That well had the Holy Ghost spoken by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers, ²⁶ saying, Go to this people, and say, "In hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, yet in nowise perceive. ²⁷ For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and with their ears they are thick of hearing, and their eyes have they shut; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and become converts, and I should heal them." ²⁸ Be it known therefore unto you, that to the Gentiles is the salvation of God sent, and they will hear. ²⁹ And when he had thus spoken, the Jews went away, and had much disputing among themselves. ³⁰ But Paul abode two whole years in his own hired apartment, and received all who came to him, ³¹ preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all freedom of discourse, and without the least interruption.

²⁸ But we know that to those who love God all things work together for good, even to those who are called according to his purpose.

³⁷ But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

⁹ for which I suffer affliction, even unto chains as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
