Деяния на апостолите 28
Библия, ревизирано издание
На остров Малта
28 (A)И когато се спасихме, научихме, че островът се наричаше Малта.
2 (B)А местните жители показаха към нас необикновено човеколюбие, защото приеха всички нас и понеже валеше дъжд и беше студено, накладоха огън.
3 (C)И когато Павел натрупа един куп храсти и ги сложи на огъня, една отровна змия излезе поради топлината и се впи в ръката му.
4 А туземците, които видяха как змията висеше на ръката му, си говореха: Без съмнение този човек е убиец; затова, ако и да се е избавил от морето, пак божественото правосъдие не го оставя да живее.
5 (D)Но той тръсна змията в огъня и не почувства никакво зло.
6 (E)А те очакваха, че ще отече или внезапно ще падне мъртъв; но като чакаха много време и виждаха, че не му се случва нищо лошо, промениха мнението си и казваха, че е бог.
7 А около това място се намираха именията на първенеца на острова, чието име беше Поплий, който ни прие и гощава приятелски три дни.
8 (F)И случи се Поплиевият баща да лежи болен от треска и дизентерия; а Павел влезе при него и като се помоли, положи ръце на него и го изцели.
9 Като стана това, и другите от острова, които имаха болести, идваха и се изцеляваха,
10 (G)като ни оказваха много почести, и когато тръгнахме, сложиха в кораба необходимото за нуждите ни.
От Малта до Рим
11 И така, след три месеца отплавахме с един александрийски кораб, който беше презимувал на острова и който имаше за знак Близнаците.
12 И като стигнахме в Сиракуза, престояхме там три дни.
13 А оттам, като лъкатушехме срещу вятъра, стигнахме в Ригия; и след един ден, като повя южният вятър, на втория ден дойдохме в Потиоли,
14 (H)където намерихме братя, които ни замолиха да останем у тях седем дни. Така дойдохме в Рим,
15 откъдето братята, като чули за нас, бяха дошли до Апиевото тържище и до трите кръчми, за да ни посрещнат; и Павел, като ги видя, благодари на Бога и се ободри.
16 (I)А когато влязохме в Рим, стотникът предаде задържаните на началника на стражата; а на Павел бе позволено да живее отделно с войника, който го пазеше.
Павел проповядва в Рим
17 (J)И след три дни той свика по-първите от юдеите и като се събраха, им каза: Братя, без аз да съм направил нещо против народа ни или против бащините обичаи, пак от Йерусалим ме предадоха вързан в ръцете на римляните;
18 (K)които, като ме разпитаха, щяха да ме пуснат, защото в мене нямаше нищо, заслужаващо за смърт.
19 (L)Но понеже юдеите се противопоставиха на това, принудих се да се отнеса до Цезаря, а не че имах да обвиня в нещо народа си.
20 (M)По тази причина ви повиках, за да ви видя и да поговоря с вас, защото заради това, на което Израил се надява, съм вързан с тази верига.
21 А те му казаха: Нито ние сме получавали писма от Юдея за тебе, нито е идвал някой от братята да ни извести или да ни каже нещо лошо за тебе.
22 (N)Но желаем да чуем от тебе какво мислиш, защото ни е известно, че навсякъде говорят против това учение.
23 (O)И като му определиха ден, мнозина от тях дойдоха при него там, където живееше; и от сутринта до вечерта той им излагаше с доказателства Божието царство и ги уверяваше за Исус и от Моисеевия закон, и от пророците.
24 (P)И едни повярваха на това, което говореше, а други не вярваха.
25 И те, понеже не бяха съгласни помежду си, се разотидоха, като Павел им каза една дума: Добре е говорил Святият Дух чрез пророк Исая на бащите ви, когато е казал:
26 (Q)„Иди, кажи на този народ:
С уши ще чуете, но никак няма да разберете;
и с очи ще гледате, но никак няма да прозрете.
27 Защото затлъстя сърцето на този народ
и ушите им натегнаха,
и очите си затвориха,
да не би да видят с очите си
и да разберат със сърцето си,
и да се обърнат, за да ги изцеля.“
28 (R)Затова, да знаете, че това Божие спасение бе изпратено на езичниците; и те ще го слушат.
29 И като каза това, юдеите си отидоха с големи спорове помежду си.
30 А Павел пребиваваше цели две години в отделна къща под наем, където приемаше всички, които отиваха при него,
31 (S)като проповядваше Божието царство и с пълно дръзновение поучаваше за Господ Исус Христос, без някой да му забранява.

En la isla de Malta
28 Cuando ya estábamos a salvo, nos enteramos de que la isla se llamaba Malta. 2 Los habitantes de la isla nos atendieron muy bien. Encendieron una fogata y nos invitaron a acercarnos, porque estaba lloviendo y hacía mucho frío.
3 Mientras Pablo recogía un montón de leña para echarla al fuego, una víbora que huía del calor se le prendió en la mano. 4 Los habitantes de la isla, al ver la víbora colgada de la mano de Pablo, se pusieron a decir entre ellos: «No cabe duda de que es un asesino. Pues aunque se salvó del mar, la justicia divina no lo deja vivir».
5 Pero Pablo sacudió la mano y la víbora cayó al fuego y a él no le pasó nada. 6 La gente esperaba que se hinchara o que cayera muerto en cualquier momento. Pero después de esperar mucho y de ver que no le pasaba nada, cambiaron de opinión y pensaron que era un dios.
7 Cerca del lugar donde estábamos había unos terrenos que le pertenecían a Publio, el funcionario principal de la isla. Este nos hospedó durante tres días en su casa y fue muy amable con nosotros.
8 El padre de Publio estaba en cama, enfermo con fiebre y disentería. Pablo fue a verlo, oró por él y después puso las manos sobre él y lo sanó. 9 Al enterarse de esto, los demás enfermos de la isla fueron a ver a Pablo para que los sanara, y él los sanó. 10 Nos atendieron muy bien y cuando llegó el momento de partir, nos dieron todo lo que necesitábamos para el viaje.
Llegada a Roma
11 Después de pasar tres meses en la isla, salimos en un barco que había pasado el invierno allí. Era un barco de Alejandría que tenía en la parte delantera la figura de los dioses Dióscuros.
12 Llegamos a Siracusa, donde pasamos tres días. 13 De allí, salimos bordeando la costa hasta llegar a Regio. Al día siguiente sopló el viento del sur y un día más tarde ya estábamos en Poteoli. 14 Allí encontramos a unos creyentes que nos invitaron a pasar una semana con ellos. Y finalmente, llegamos a Roma.
15 Los hermanos de Roma ya se habían enterado de nuestra llegada y salieron a recibirnos hasta el Foro de Apio y Tres Tabernas. Al verlos, Pablo le dio gracias a Dios y se animó.
16 Ya en Roma, a Pablo le permitieron que viviera aparte, aunque un soldado lo vigilaba.
Pablo predica bajo custodia en Roma
17 Tres días después, Pablo reunió a los dirigentes judíos y les dijo:
―Hermanos, yo no he hecho nada contra mi pueblo ni contra las costumbres de nuestros antepasados. Sin embargo, me arrestaron en Jerusalén y me entregaron a los romanos. 18 Estos me hicieron muchas preguntas y luego quisieron soltarme, pues no me encontraron culpable de nada que mereciera la muerte.
19 »Pero cuando los judíos se opusieron, tuve que pedir que el emperador me juzgara. No es que tenga algo de qué acusar a mi nación. 20 Yo les he pedido que vengan para verlos y hablar con ustedes. Estoy preso porque tengo la misma esperanza que tiene el pueblo de Israel.
21 Ellos le respondieron:
―Nosotros no hemos recibido ninguna carta de Judea que hable de ti. Tampoco ha llegado ninguno de los hermanos de allá dando malos informes o hablando mal de ti. 22 Pero queremos que nos digas lo que piensas, porque lo único que sabemos es que en todas partes se habla en contra de esa secta.
23 Entonces pusieron una fecha para reunirse con Pablo, y llegaron muchos a la casa donde él vivía. Desde la mañana hasta la tarde él les estuvo hablando acerca del reino de Dios. Usó desde la ley de Moisés hasta los profetas para convencerlos acerca de Jesús.
24 Unos aceptaron lo que él decía, pero otros no. 25 Como no pudieron ponerse de acuerdo entre ellos, comenzaron a irse. Entonces Pablo finalmente les dijo: «El Espíritu Santo tenía razón cuando les habló a sus antepasados por medio del profeta Isaías y les dijo:
26 »“Ve a este pueblo y dile:
‘Por más que ustedes oigan, no entenderán; por más que ustedes miren, no verán’.
27 »”Porque el corazón de este pueblo se ha endurecido; se le han tapado los oídos, y se le han cerrado los ojos. Si así no fuera, podrían ver con los ojos y oír con los oídos, entender con el corazón y volverse a mí para que yo los sane”.
28-29 »Quiero que sepan que esta salvación de Dios se ha enviado a los que no son judíos, y ellos sí escucharán».
30 Pablo se quedó dos años completos en la casa que había alquilado, y allí recibía a todos los que iban a verlo. 31 Sin temor alguno y sin que nadie se lo impidiera, anunciaba el reino de Dios y enseñaba acerca del Señor Jesucristo.
Acts 28
New International Version
Paul Ashore on Malta
28 Once safely on shore, we(A) found out that the island(B) was called Malta. 2 The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold. 3 Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. 4 When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand,(C) they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.”(D) 5 But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.(E) 6 The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead; but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.(F)
7 There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days. 8 His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer,(G) placed his hands on him(H) and healed him.(I) 9 When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured. 10 They honored us(J) in many ways; and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed.
Paul’s Arrival at Rome
11 After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the island—it was an Alexandrian ship(K) with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux. 12 We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days. 13 From there we set sail and arrived at Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up, and on the following day we reached Puteoli. 14 There we found some brothers and sisters(L) who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome. 15 The brothers and sisters(M) there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these people Paul thanked God and was encouraged. 16 When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him.(N)
Paul Preaches at Rome Under Guard
17 Three days later he called together the local Jewish leaders.(O) When they had assembled, Paul said to them: “My brothers,(P) although I have done nothing against our people(Q) or against the customs of our ancestors,(R) I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans. 18 They examined me(S) and wanted to release me,(T) because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.(U) 19 The Jews objected, so I was compelled to make an appeal to Caesar.(V) I certainly did not intend to bring any charge against my own people. 20 For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you. It is because of the hope of Israel(W) that I am bound with this chain.”(X)
21 They replied, “We have not received any letters from Judea concerning you, and none of our people(Y) who have come from there has reported or said anything bad about you. 22 But we want to hear what your views are, for we know that people everywhere are talking against this sect.”(Z)
23 They arranged to meet Paul on a certain day, and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying. He witnessed to them from morning till evening, explaining about the kingdom of God,(AA) and from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets(AB) he tried to persuade them about Jesus.(AC) 24 Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.(AD) 25 They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your ancestors when he said(AE) through Isaiah the prophet:
26 “‘Go to this people and say,
“You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
    you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
27 For this people’s heart has become calloused;(AF)
    they hardly hear with their ears,
    and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears,
    understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a](AG)
28 “Therefore I want you to know that God’s salvation(AH) has been sent to the Gentiles,(AI) and they will listen!” [29] [b]
30 For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. 31 He proclaimed the kingdom of God(AJ) and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness(AK) and without hindrance!

Acts 28
New King James Version
Paul’s Ministry on Malta
28 Now when they had escaped, they then found out that (A)the island was called Malta. 2 And the (B)natives[a] showed us unusual kindness; for they kindled a fire and made us all welcome, because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold. 3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4 So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.” 5 But he shook off the creature into the fire and (C)suffered no harm. 6 However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and (D)said that he was a god.
7 In that region there was an estate of the [b]leading citizen of the island, whose name was Publius, who received us and entertained us courteously for three days. 8 And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him and (E)prayed, and (F)he laid his hands on him and healed him. 9 So when this was done, the rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed. 10 They also honored us in many (G)ways; and when we departed, they provided such things as were (H)necessary.
Arrival at Rome
11 After three months we sailed in (I)an Alexandrian ship whose figurehead was the [c]Twin Brothers, which had wintered at the island. 12 And landing at Syracuse, we stayed three days. 13 From there we circled round and reached Rhegium. And after one day the south wind blew; and the next day we came to Puteoli, 14 where we found (J)brethren, and were invited to stay with them seven days. And so we went toward Rome. 15 And from there, when the brethren heard about us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Three Inns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
16 Now when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but (K)Paul was permitted to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Paul’s Ministry at Rome
17 And it came to pass after three days that Paul called the leaders of the Jews together. So when they had come together, he said to them: “Men and brethren, (L)though I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet (M)I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, 18 who, (N)when they had examined me, wanted to let me go, because there was no cause for putting me to death. 19 But when the [d]Jews spoke against it, (O)I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything of which to accuse my nation. 20 For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because (P)for the hope of Israel I am bound with (Q)this chain.”
21 Then they said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brethren who came reported or spoken any evil of you. 22 But we desire to hear from you what you think; for concerning this sect, we know that (R)it is spoken against everywhere.”
23 So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, (S)to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus (T)from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening. 24 And (U)some were persuaded by the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved. 25 So when they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had said one word: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to [e]our fathers, 26 saying,
(V)‘Go to this people and say:
“Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand;
And seeing you will see, and not perceive;
27 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.” ’
28 “Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent (W)to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!” 29 [f]And when he had said these words, the Jews departed and had a great dispute among themselves.
30 Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, 31 (X)preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him.
