28:1 Paul, after his shipwreck, is kindly entertained of the barbarians;
28:5 The viper on his hand hurts him not;
28:8 He heals many diseases in the island;
28:11 They depart towards Rome;
28:17 He declares to the Jews the cause of his coming;
28:24 After his preaching some were persuaded, and some believed not;
28:30 Yet he preaches there two years.
