1After we were safe , we found out that the island was called Malta.

AMP
2And the natives showed us extraordinary kindness and hospitality; for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, since it had begun to rain and was cold.

AMP
3But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper crawled out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.
MSG
3Paul pitched in and helped. He had gathered up a bundle of sticks, but when he put it on the fire, a venomous snake, roused from its torpor by the heat, struck his hand and held on.
AMP
4When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, "Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, Justice has not permitted him to live."
MSG
4Seeing the snake hanging from Paul's hand like that, the natives jumped to the conclusion that he was a murderer getting his just deserts.
AMP
5Then Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.

7In the vicinity of that place there were estates belonging to the leading man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed and entertained us hospitably for three days.
MSG
7The head man in that part of the island was Publius. He took us into his home as his guests, drying us out and putting us up in fine style for the next three days.

8Publius's father was sick at the time, down with a high fever and dysentery. Paul went to the old man's room, and when he laid hands on him and prayed, the man was healed.
AMP
9After this occurred, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases were coming to him and being healed.
MSG
9Word of the healing got around fast, and soon everyone on the island who was sick came and got healed.
AMP
10They also gave us many honors ; and when we were setting sail, they supplied us with all the things we needed.

AMP
11At the end of three months we set sail on a ship which had wintered at the island, an Alexandrian ship with the Twin Brothers as its figurehead.

MSG
15Friends in Rome heard we were on the way and came out to meet us. One group got as far as Appian Court; another group met us at Three Taverns—emotion-packed meetings, as you can well imagine. Paul, brimming over with praise, led us in prayers of thanksgiving.
AMP
16When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who was guarding him.

17Three days later he called together the leaders of the Jews; and when they had gathered, he said to them, "Kinsmen, though I have done nothing against our people or against the customs of our fathers, yet I was turned over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
MSG
17Three days later, Paul called the Jewish leaders together for a meeting at his house. He said, "The Jews in Jerusalem arrested me on trumped-up charges, and I was taken into custody by the Romans. I assure you that I did absolutely nothing against Jewish laws or Jewish customs.
AMP
18After they had interrogated me, they were ready to release me because I was not guilty of any offense deserving death.

AMP
19But when the Jews objected , I was forced to appeal to Caesar (Emperor Nero), not because I had any charge to make against my nation.
MSG

AMP
20For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you, since it is for the sake of the hope of Israel (the Messiah, the resurrection) that I am bound with this chain."
MSG
20I did it for Israel. I asked you to come and listen to me today to make it clear that I'm on Israel's side, not against her. I'm a hostage here for hope, not doom."
AMP
21They said to him, "We have not received letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the brothers come here and reported or said anything bad about you.
MSG
21They said, "Nobody wrote warning us about you. And no one has shown up saying anything bad about you.
AMP
22But we would like to hear from you what your views are ; for in regard to this sect (Christianity), we are fully aware that it is denounced everywhere."
MSG
22But we would like very much to hear more. The only thing we know about this Christian sect is that nobody seems to have anything good to say about it."
AMP
23When they had set a day for Paul, they came to his lodging in large numbers. And he carefully explained to them from morning until evening, solemnly testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
MSG
23They agreed on a time. When the day arrived, they came back to his home with a number of their friends. Paul talked to them all day, from morning to evening, explaining everything involved in the kingdom of God, and trying to persuade them all about Jesus by pointing out what Moses and the prophets had written about him.
AMP
24Some were persuaded by what he said, but others would not believe.
MSG

MSG
26Go to this people and tell them this: "You're going to listen with your ears, but you won't hear a word; You're going to stare with your eyes, but you won't see a thing.
AMP
27"For the heart (the understanding, the soul) of this people has become dull (calloused), And with their ears they scarcely hear, And they have shut their eyes ; Otherwise they might see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart and return , And I would heal them."'
MSG
27These people are blockheads! They stick their fingers in their ears so they won't have to listen; They screw their eyes shut so they won't have to look, so they won't have to deal with me face-to-face and let me heal them."
AMP
28Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they indeed will listen!"
MSG
28"You've had your chance. The non-Jewish outsiders are next on the list. And believe me, they're going to receive it with open arms!"
