Melita to Rome

Acts 28
All those that were aboard the wrecked ship had landed on the island of Melita and God laid it on the hearts of the uncivilized inhabitants to show them kindness. This they did liberally. They kindled a fire and received every one of them because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold.
Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire when a viper came out of the heat and fastened onto his hand. The barbarians saw it and said among themselves, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live." They watched him for a while, expecting that he would suddenly drop dead. But as nothing unusual happened, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
In the same quarters, Publius, the chief man of the island, had possessions. His father was sick with fever. Paul went in and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him. Others also on the island who had diseases came and were healed. These honored Paul and his companions with many honors. When they departed, they loaded them with such things as were necessary.
We are not told of any evangelizing on the journey. After three months, when the winter was gone, a ship took them to Puteoli where they found brethren. They were asked to tarry with them seven days. This was another green spot in the desert world!
Then they journeyed toward Rome.
