for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

And she said, Yea, for so much. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught.

Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 So Paul departed from among them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r13089542"><div class="wst-center tiInherit wst-center-nomargin"> CHAP.

And Gallio cared for none of those things. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will.

And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 And all the men were about twelve. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. <span class="pagenum ws-pagenum" id="379" data-page-number="379" data-page-name="Page:KJV 1772 Oxford Edition, vol. 2.djvu/379" data-page-index="379" data-page-quality="1" title="Page:KJV_1772_Oxford_Edition,_vol._2.djvu/379"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward.

For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cesar. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r13089542"><div class="wst-center tiInherit wst-center-nomargin"> CHAP.

and he put us therein. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they <span class="pagenum ws-pagenum" id="389" data-page-number="389" data-page-name="Page:KJV 1772 Oxford Edition, vol. 2.djvu/389" data-page-index="389" data-page-quality="1" title="Page:KJV_1772_Oxford_Edition,_vol._2.djvu/389">were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship.

who received us, and lodged us three days courteously. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Cesar;
