	TYNDALE Tyndale Bible of 1526	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	And when they were scaped then they knewe that the yle was called Milete.	After we were brought safely through, we then learned that the island was called Malta.	Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta.
2	And the people of the countre shewed vs no lytell kyndnes: for they kyndled a fyre and receaved vs every one because of the present rayne and because of colde.	The native people showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.	The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold.
3	And when Paul had gaddered a boundle of stickes and put them into the fyre ther came a viper out of the heet and lept on his honde.	When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.	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 men of the contre sawe the worme hange on his honde they sayde amonge the selves: this man must nedes be a mortherer. Whome (though he have escaped the see) yet vengeaunce suffreth not to lyve.	When the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”	When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, 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.”
5	But he shouke of the vermen into the fyre and felt no harme.	He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.	But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
6	Howbeit they wayted when he shuld have swolne or fallen doune deed sodenly. But after they had loked a greate whyle and sawe no harme come to him they chaunged their myndes and sayde that he was a God.	They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.	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.
7	In the same quarters the chefe man of the yle whose name was Publius had a lordshippe: the same receaved vs and lodged vs thre dayes courteously.	Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days.	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	And it fortuned that the father of Publius laye sicke of a fiever and of a bluddy flixe. To who Paul entred in and prayde and layde his hondes on him and healed him.	It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him, healed him.	His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him.
9	When this was done other also which had diseases in the yle came and were healed.	And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured.	When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured.
10	And they dyd vs gret honoure. And when we departed they laded vs with thinges necessary.	They also honored us greatly, and when we were about to sail, they put on board whatever we needed.	They honored us in many ways; and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed.
11	After thre monethes we departed in a ship of Alexandry which had wyntred in the yle whose badge was Castor and Pollux.	After three months we set sail in a ship that had wintered in the island, a ship of Alexandria, with the twin gods as a figurehead.

13	And from thence we set a compasse and came to Regium. And after one daye the south wynde blewe and we came the next daye to Putiolus:	And from there we made a circuit and arrived at Rhegium. And after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli.	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	where we founde brethren and were desyred to tary with them seven dayes and so came to Rome.	There we found brothers and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome.	There we found some brothers and sisters who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome.
15	And from thence when ye brethren hearde of vs they came agaynst vs to Apiphorum and to ye thre taverns. When Paul sawe the he thanked God and wexed bolde.	And the brothers there, when they heard about us, came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them, Paul thanked God and took courage.	The brothers and sisters 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	And when he came to Rome ye vnder captayne delyvered ye presoners to ye chefe captayne of ye host: but Paul was suffered to dwell by him selfe with one soudier that kept him.	And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who guarded him.	When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
17	And it fortuned after thre dayes that Paul called ye chefe o f ye Iewes together. And whe they were come he sayde vnto the: Men and brethren though I have comitted nothinge agaynst the people or lawes of oure fathers: yet was I delyvered presoner from Ierusalem in to the hondes of ye Romayns.	After three days he called together the local leaders of the Jews, and when they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, 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.	Three days later he called together the local Jewish leaders. When they had assembled, Paul said to them: “My brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or against the customs of our ancestors, I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.
18	Which when they had examined me wolde have let me goo because they founde no cause of deeth in me.	When they had examined me, they wished to set me at liberty, because there was no reason for the death penalty in my case.	They examined me and wanted to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.
19	But when ye Iewes cryed cotrary I was constrayned to appeale vnto Cesar: not because I had ought to accuse my people of.	But because the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar—though I had no charge to bring against my nation.	The Jews objected, so I was compelled to make an appeal to Caesar. I certainly did not intend to bring any charge against my own people.
20	For this cause have I called for you eve to se you and to speake with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bounde with this chayne.	For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am wearing this chain.”	For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
21	And they sayde vnto him: We nether receaved letters out of Iewry pertayninge vnto ye nether came eny of the brethren that shewed or spake eny harme of the.	And they said to him, “We have received no letters from Judea about you, and none of the brothers coming here has reported or spoken any evil about you.	They replied, “We have not received any letters from Judea concerning you, and none of our people who have come from there has reported or said anything bad about you.
22	But we will heare of the what thou thynkest. For we have hearde of this secte that every wheare it is spoken agaynst.	But we desire to hear from you what your views are, for with regard to this sect we know that everywhere it is spoken against.”	But we want to hear what your views are, for we know that people everywhere are talking against this sect.”
23	And when they had apoynted him a daye ther came many vnto him into his lodgynge. To whom he expounded and testifyed the kyngdome of God and preached vnto the of Iesu: both out of the lawe of Moses and also out of the prophetes even from mornynge to nyght.	When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.	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, and from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets he tried to persuade them about Jesus.
24	And some beleved ye thinges which were spoken and some beleved not.	And some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved.	Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.
25	When they agreed not amonge the selves they departed after that Paul had spoken one worde. Well spake the holy goost by Esay ye prophet vnto oure fathers	And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: “The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:	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 through Isaiah the prophet:
26	sayinge: Goo vnto this people and saye: with youre eares shall ye heare and shall not vnderstonde: and with youre eyes shall ye se and shall not perceave.	“‘Go to this people, and say, “You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.”	“’Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
27	For the hert of this people is wexed grosse and their eares were thycke of hearynge and their eyes have they closed: lest they shuld se with their eyes and heare with their eares and vnderstonde with their hertes and shuld be converted and I shulde heale them.	For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’	For this people’s heart has become calloused; 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.’
28	Be it knowen therfore vnto you that this salvacion of God is sent to the gentyls and they shall heare it.	Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.”	“Therefore I want you to know that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”
29	And when he had sayde that the Iewes departed and had grete despicios amonge them selves.
30	And Paul dwelt two yeares full in his lodgynge and receaved all that came to him	He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him,	For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him.
31	preachyng the kyngdome of God and teachynge those thinges which concerned the lorde Iesus with all confidence vnforboden.	proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.	He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!
