New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Acts 28
⁷ Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the leading man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us courteously three days.
⁸ And it happened that the father of Publius was lying in bed afflicted with recurrent fever and dysentery; and Paul went in to see him and after he had prayed, he laid his hands on him and healed him.
⁹ After this had happened, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases were coming to him and getting cured.
¹⁰ They also honored us with many marks of respect; and when we were setting sail, they supplied us with all we needed.
¹¹ At the end of three months we set sail on an Alexandrian ship which had wintered at the island, and which had the Twin Brothers for its figurehead.
¹² After we put in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days.
¹³ From there we sailed around and arrived at Rhegium, and a day later a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli.
¹⁴ There we found some brethren, and were invited to stay with them for seven days; and thus we came to Rome.
¹⁵ And the brethren, when they heard about us, came from there as far as the Market of Appius and Three Inns to meet us; and when Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
¹⁶ When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.
¹⁷ After three days Paul called together those who were the leading men of the Jews, and when they came together, he began saying to them, "Brethren, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
