Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.

And after a certain days came Felix, and his wife Drusilla which was a Jewess, and called forth Paul, and heard him of the faith which is toward Christ.

He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul that he might loose him, wherefore he called him the oftener, and communed with him.

But I found that there were certain questions in dispute between them about their own religion, and about some dead man called Jesus, whom Paul declared to be alive.

As he said this in his defense, Festus called out, "You are raving, Paul! Your great learning is driving you mad!"

When it was decided we were to sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to an officer of the Imperial regiment called Julius.

Embarking in an Andramyttian ship which was bound for the Asiatic seaports, we set sail, accompanied by a Macedonian from Thessalonica called Aristarchus.

and, with difficulty coasting it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.

Then, fearing the ship would run aground on the [shifting], shallow sandbar [called] Syrtis, they lowered their [navigation] gear [Note: This may have been sails, rigging, etc.] and so were driven [as a derelict by the wind].

And, when we were safely through, then, we knew that the island was called, Melita.

There was an estate in the neighbourhood which belonged to a man called Publius, the governor of the island; he welcomed us and entertained us hospitably for three days.

Three months passed before we set sail in an Alexandrian vessel, called the 'Twin Brothers,' which had wintered at the island.

where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came;

And it came to pass, after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and, when they came together, he began to say unto them - I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, as a prisoner, out of Jerusalem, was delivered into the hands of the Romans;

For this cause, therefore, have I called for you, to see and to speak with you; for, on account of the hope of Israel, this chain, have I about me!
